how does one get missing keys for KEYDB.CFG?

#1 Post by jemima » Sat Nov 25, 2023 11:41 pm

Hey there.

I have a BluRay, which MakeMKV can already read, but plain libaacs + the well-known KEYDB.CFG can't.
It's the 4th disc (i.e. bonuses) from Avatar 2 3D (all other 3 discs of that package have their keys already in KEYDB.CFG).

Can one somehow get the key from MakeMKV or how are keys usually added to KEYDB.CFG?

Thanks,
jemima

How up to date is your keydb.cfg? Looking at the files from http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/ it seems, there are several entries for Avatar 2 3D. Even four different ones for "AVATAR_THE_WAY_OF_WATER_BONUS".

If they don't help, you probably would need the help of the https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=172472 FindVUK program, which though works with DVDfab, not MakeMKV to extract keys.

The honking sound in the base of my brain is telling me you might also be a Linux user, in which case FindVUK will only be of limited use to you.

Check PM...
