Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

This thread is an excellent exhibit on taking "free" software for granted. As soon as Mike went offline for a week the sky fell even though most of the commenters on this thread never paid him anything. I paid him as soon as he came back online LOL Good for you, and I truly hope you're no...

the people behind it are from an area of the world where things are "different" than they are in the West. Any one of those would be cause for caution.
Come on, I live in one of those areas that is "different" from how things are done in the West.

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

So really you are saying that you don't want to buy it but will carry on using it for free that doesn't make much sense. You really don't read very well, do you? Maybe I didn't read it properly but when people say things like they will buy it when they had more experience, IMO that's just saying I ...

Re: Reliable Way to Determine "Episode Order" for TV Series Blu Ray Discs

Hello there, as already mentioned before, this "mpls-thing" doesn't always seem to be the right way, since the order is different sometimes. So I've got to ask if there's any method or software out there to find out the right order of episodes on a tv series Blu Ray Disc? (doesn't matter ...

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

I paid him as soon as he came back online LOL Good for you, and I truly hope you're not disappointed. Since learning that MakeMKV is from Russia , I'd feel more comfortable if the software were open source. Nothing against Russians individually, but the country does seem to be home to some unscrupu...

... There's a word for judging a large group of people based on the actions of a few individuals.
Actually, it's two words... "Common Sense".

Go play "woke" somewhere else - PLEASE.

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

A lot of speculation but nobody knows anything until we hear from or about Mike. The workaround with the date works for me (just change the month to july and enter the existing code again if it doesnt work). Note to self: save the existing julycode . Don't wait too long to save the "July code&...

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

Same here. I thought that I had come across the page at some point, but cannot remember where the link was/is. There are definitely changes being made. Someone is watching, reviewing, and has been fairly busy. [ REF ] As I said, the copies of the site in Wayback Machine’s archive also don’t have th...

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

Where was it originally? When I checked archived copies of the site on the Wayback Machine, I couldn’t see which page it was on originally to compare? Good question, I think I'm suffering from false memory. Same here. I thought that I had come across the page at some point, but cannot remember wher...

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

However, this whois would seem to add some veracity to the statement. Maybe we should refer to Mike as "comrade Mike"? :) I don't know anything... I don't know if "Comrade Mike" will return or not ... okay but like seriously you know the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics offic...

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

I can confirm that Mike Admin is in a site in what used to be Russia; what it is now, I cannot know. Mike has exclusive control over keys, pricing, etc. All I or any other sysop have control over is the forum, and that's limited. I think, for what it's worth, that a distinction needs to be drawn be...

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

Pure speculation, but another thing to consider as to what may be the issue here is that makeMKV's server is apparently in Russia according to this post... https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15289#:~:text=Re:%20MakeMKV%20flagged%20by%20VirusTotal&text=This%20happens%20from%20time%2...
