Hello,
I realize it isn't yet working for 4K discs. I'm curious if the developer is working on making it work for 4K discs.
Thanks.

A chance? I'd guess likely. When and how? God knows...hopefully sometime this decade.
I can't even begin to imagine how complex this task is, from decryption to file creation, then keeping up with protection schemes. It almost seems like someone's full-time job just to keep up with new copy protection for new BD releases, and BD copy protection was cracked very early into BD's introduction.
My opinion only; if and when the day comes that MakeMKV can work on UHD discs, the permanent free beta goes away. A short trial period and then purchase or don't use. DVD and BD could be grandfathered (ie, free use) but UHD would require a new license. I'd definitely buy again to continue to support the future of this project. Again, my 2 cents.
