Continued failure to update or run MakeMKV
Posted: Thu Nov 07, 2019 12:28 am
on a particular W7U x64 rig, that once ran earlier versions of MakeMKV without a problem. I've been intending to write you about this for some time, only now getting around to it. My results were detailed in this thread on VideoHelp
https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/393 ... ng-MakeMKV
I tried every suggestion they provided, all to no avail also effectively ruling out several theories as to the cause. Later versions of MakeMKV just die, and the app must be closed. If it helps, I'll try to get a lot more precise on the error messages. My interim workaround has been to do a fresh install of the current version(s) onto a different rig, running W-10 Pro. (I don't like Win 10, but pretty soon we may have little choice.) This is working. There is no issue with any attendant hardware, like the external BR drive attached via eSATA. No issue with a firewall, etc. These all proved to be red herrings.
There was also that "SDF download failed" error showing up first in the log, before the program gives the termination notice . . . but I'm thinking that this is not the fatal error.
I'd like to find out how to overcome this problem on that W7 desktop rig, particularly in case it has some wider applicability and is something I need to learn about. I think very highly of your program, when it is working for me. I would be only too glad to purchase a license for this program, regardless of how long the "free while in Beta" thing is apt to continue.
