I noticed something funny with the latest key files. I compared the last 2, todays and a couple of days ago. I'm noticing a lot of the keys have the first half the same but the last half are different, that is really strange or is it? Maybe Mike's refining his technique. Can someone else take a look. Pick the same title in both files and compare.

Well unlike volume keys, we don't know how these hashed keys work, and there is nothing to match them to specific discs, only the volume labels which identify the movies. For that reason I don't know that it's very productive to "analyze" the file unless you are a programmer trying to figure out the hashed keys format or unless you are just looking to see if the latest dumps you submitted were added. It could be Mike is refining his method as you suggest, or perhaps he is making corrections.

So as a follow up, I have managed to rip all but three of my UHD films to date. The three that did not work were.

Dredd (Canadian Version)
Terminator 2
Batman and Harley Quinn

I forwarded the dump files to Mike, and will continue checking my remaining films (about 13 to go).

As an aside, so far the BE16NU50 drive has worked flawlessly with 1.01 firmware.

The new hashed keys allowed for Dredd to be decrypted, but still no luck in getting T2 or Batman and Harley Quinn to work.

Looks like Tuesday January 23 my Asus CD burner arrives. I'm in USA and won't be back home till Saturday. I'll start sending Mike dumps for the ones missing (hask keys) for disks that don't work. I'm new to this. Assuming most or all my movies are in that file of keys but they might be region based so maybe my listbmay help, or maybe not.... Will see. I hope my asus drive works. If not I just bought a bdxl burner , ah it will replace a 6 year old Blu-ray burner lol......either way I'll use it

Do you need Firmware 3.0? I had it then noticed Asus released 3.03 and I updated to it. I tried to read Lego Batman UHD with it, with no luck. I bought this drive because I thought it read UHD discs...

Instructions couldn't be clearer to NOT update firmware.

In short, you're going to need to flash your drive back to an earlier firmware, anywhere between 3.00 and 3.02.
