MKB20_v77_WINCHESTER_'73_C312.tgz submitted to service queue.

The C312 variant of Winchester '73 has been added to the public keydb.

If you haven't previously configured MakeMKV to utilise the public keydb you can follow my instructions here or use SamuriHL's utility for Windows (Link)

As i have no idea how to use key db so i am waiting for the normal method but after over a week I’m beginning to wonder if it ever will appear,any thoughts. In my defence I’m mid 70’s and not computer literate so don’t be to hard on me.Thanks

Is your TGZ dump file also named "MKB20_v77_WINCHESTER_'73_C312.tgz"? Because if so, and you're also using Windows, then SamuriHL's tool should help you.

The short version is, in addition to the normal method of MakeMKV automatically downloading hashed keys when they're available, there's a way you can download a different file, keydb.cfg, that when placed in the correct spot in MakeMKV will allow MakeMKV to use it additionally for defeating the encryption on 4K UHDs. It is entirely optional, but it often gets updated with new keys faster than MakeMKV's hashed keys method.

If you'd like to try it, there are instructions here: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=162444#p162444

I wrote a set of instructions for configuring MakeMKV to use the public keydb here: Link

You can also use SamuriHL's utility to automate the process if you run Windows: (Link)

Basically if you can manage to download and extract a zip file you can use the keydb. There is no trick or complexity to the process as long as you can follow a short guide.
