As many of you have noticed, MakeMKV fails to process recent BD+ protected discs, namely Avatar. Many changes in this new BD+ code specifically target MakemKV SVM/SVQ engine. Rest assured, this BD+ update will be supported very soon. Please continue to send BD+ tgz dumps to svq@makemkv.com . Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE2:
Thank you for sending all requested information - SVQ file for Avatar is available, there is no need to send any files.

UPDATE1:
Modifications to handle new BD+ are in final stage; the new program version should be available approximately in a week.

Everyone, who have sent a tgz dump file to svq@makemkv.com - thank you, you have made the coming update happen. However, more information is needed. The new BD+ code uses a radically new approach and certain file that is required for proper SVQ generation is not packaged into TGZ by current version of MakeMKV. If you have sent the tgz dump to svq@makemkv.com, please send additional file from the disc to the same address. The file in question is 77001.jar and can be found in BDMV/JAR folder on the disc. If you can't access any files on the disc, you can create raw disc backup ( by selecting "backup" from File menu and un-checking "decrypt video files" in backup dialog ) and copy the file from there.

When sending this file to svq@makemkv.com also mention the filename of original tgz dump file, for example

77001.jar for dump_Avatar_27ABDD19AE93BC8A.tgz

There is no need to send a TGZ dump second time.

Once again, Thank you for your patience.

Sent my jar as requested! I really want to watch Avatar

Avatar was released today in Norway. First thing I did was send the needed info off for processing

Keep up the great work.

Just sent my 2 files in !

Thanks for your hard work.

Hi, i'm from Spain. I have the same problem with Avatar Blu-Ray. I have sent the two files to svq@makemkv.com.

The new program version 1.5.5 and http://www.makemkv.com/svq/avatar.svq are availabe for download.

Sorry...i have the same problem using new version 1.5.5. Any ideas??????

When i try to open the blu-ray of Avatar appears the next message :

MakeMKV v1.5.5 beta win(x64-release) started

Failed to process BD+ code, please check http://www.makemkv.com/svq/ for updated program and SVQ files

What happens with this Blu-Ray ???

Hi! Thanks for your help, but where is the avatar.svq file???

Thanks.

OK...thanks. I have downloaded the avatar.svq and now all is ok.

Thanks.

Thank you so much - it's in the process of ripping right now, then I'll be watching obsessively...

Will the svq file always be needed? MakeMKV won't be able to crack the disc without it like it does for other blu-ray discs?
