BlacKkKlansman BD+ Protected

[WHAT!?]

Hello,

First post on this forum though I have been using MakeMKV for a while. Just recently started getting discs that appear to give the software a real issue. I'm currently trying to rip BlacKkKlansman using an ASUS BW-16D1HT BD-ROM drive. Firmware is LibreDrive mode friendly.

When I attempt to read the disc the software just hangs. The top status bar reads "Processing BD+ code" while the bottom status bar reads "Opening Blu-ray disc" Where "Remaining time" just counts up. The drive access light has stopped showing activity and I have to kill the software through task manager in order to close MakeMKV. Further the file "blues.jar" remains actively open after MakeMKV is closed. Rather than tracking down a way to force close that I just do a system reboot which resolves it.

So I don't have a dump file to provide as after 23 minutes the disc has not reached a pass/fail state. I don't think its going to. It appears to just be spinning its wheels.

I was hoping someone might have some direction as to what path I might take to troubleshoot the issue, or if its just something that is known of already.


MakeMKV v1.15.2 win(x64-release) started
Using LibreDrive mode (v06.2 id=0FA242DD4D0B)
Using direct disc access mode

So it's possible I may be jumping the gun here. I did eventually dust off the old blu-ray player and tried the disc there as well. While the disc reads there are some trouble spots. Which leaves me a little puzzled as it doesn't look blemished. I may need to just see if I can't grab another copy.

I jumped on this because I had a similar issue ripping the first season of Cosmos, but now I'm wondering if that was a disc copy issue as well.

Try going back to an earlier version of MakeMKV:

As you can see from the log, processing the BD+ stuff uses Java. Your logs indicate it is using Java 1.5, which is pretty old. I suggest trying a newer version.

Java 1.5 was originally released in 2004. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history

Ah. Fair point, I hadn't actually looked too deep at the Java version I'm running. I assumed it was installed as a component of MakeMKV. I'm hard pressed to think of any other software I have installed that makes use of it. I'll have a look at that if it comes up again. Thanks.

::EDIT::
Well. It came up again. I went ahead and grabbed the latest Java version and removed my old one. Seems to have done the trick. Thanks for pointing that out to me! I shouldn't have overlooked it in the first place, but I did. Thanks again.
