The problem was probably with my mini PC.
I reinstalled makemkv on my server with a 700W power supply and a USB-C to USB-C cable, and it reads the UHD without any problems.
I don't know what insufficient power has to do with the inability to decrypt it, though.
Is my Verbatim 43888 flashable

More power was the solution.
What is the advantage of copying the keydb.cfg file into the .makekmkv folder?
There's a keydb-deu and a keydb-eng file. Should I use the keydb-eng file?

The keydb.cfg file is usually more up-to-date regarding keys compared to Makemkv itself.It also supports the newest MKB 82.reinerzufall wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2026 3:04 pmMore power was the solution.

Usually 50 to 100 keys are added per day. Don't worry about the different versions. The deu just lists the movie name in German while the other list it in English. But just download the KeyDB-helper.exe and run it from time to time to update your local keydb.cfg. No need to download it seperately. The program will do it just fine and put it in the right place if you have chosen a non-default location for Makemkv. I just have put it on my desktop and run it every few days with the synchronize option.

Re: Is my Verbatim 43888 flashable
One last question.
I downloaded and started the keydb helper.
It writes the keydb.cfg file to the folder
C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\aacs
The keydb website says to copy the keydb.cfg file to the following folder??
C:\Users\name\.MakeMKV
Which is correct?

KeyDB_helper loads it in the first directory and then puts a copy in the second. And if .Makemkv is in a non-standard location it checks the registry and puts it there.reinerzufall wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2026 4:03 pmOne last question.
