FYI, MakeMKV still doesn't have support yet but there appears to be a working key in the keydb. I was able to open the disc with MakeMKV now using that.

Yeah I ripped it and it has a DV layer, so yeah that's the only difference as far as I can tell.

A working one for the collector's edition or this BBY steelbook? If for the CE, care to share?

Also, FWIW, I submitted MKB20_v77_Avatar_E7D0.tgz a few days ago (the collector's edition).

I just got home but looks like a key for the CE MKB20_v77_Avatar_E7D0.tgz disc has been added to the keydb, as well. Nice. I didn't see any MakeMKV HK downloads yet so I'd say they're still unsupported in MakeMKV as of now.

This is probably a dumb question but can you import a key from the keydb into makemkv?

I'm not sure what that even means. The keydb can be used by MakeMKV if there's a key in it for your title. But what does it mean to "import" it? Makemkv has its own internal hashed keys that aren't accessible to end users.

Drop the keydb.cfg file in your .MakeMKV directory. Open disc.
