You can open your disc backups with MakeMKV via "File" => "Open Files" => select the 'BDMV/index.bdmv' in your backup folder.

Or you can "mount" the backup image as a virtual drive on your PC (there are many free programs available to do this), then open that virtual drive with MakeMKV as if it were any other optical drive.

It appears that The Final Cut UHD is not encrypted. To rip the movie from this disc:
  • Copy the disc contents to your computer
  • Delete the AACS folder
  • Process using MakeMKV as normal
It looks like the presence of the AACS folder confuses MakeMKV, as the content actually does not have this encryption applied.
Thank you the time and effort it took to figure this out. Kudos, Chefs kiss, etc. Great effort.

One advantage of "mounting" a virtual drive is that, if you've previously made an encrypted backup but now the key has become available, you can now create a decrypted backup from the encrypted backup.

If you were to "Open" the encrypted backup in MakeMKV as usual, then the "Backup" option gets greyed-out and is no longer available.

Having a decrypted backup allows you to play transport streams directly from the backup folder, if you need to check any content, etc.

Just to confirm that the suggested solution worked for me, too.

Thanks for finding that :-)

I was pulling my hair out over this disc so THANK YOU for solving! I dunno how many times I sent the tar to svq :roll:

Thanks man, you're a hero! Curious as to how you were able to determine it wasn't encrypted, or did you just give it a try?

Late reply, but - yep, just gave it a try as a last resort.
