Doesn't MakeMKV support de-crypted Disc Backups of HD-DVDs?
The Backup button is greyed out if I insert an HD-DVD (tested with several discs).
Since MakeMKV still has an issue with HD-DVD subtitles (viewtopic.php?t=1905) you need the de-crypted backup to extract them manually or with EVODemuxer.
It's not a big deal, since most subtitles can be found on opensubtitles.org and similar sites, but it would still be nice if the backup worked.
No Disc Backup for HD-DVDs?
Re: No Disc Backup for HD-DVDs?
Is MakeMKV even working. I just reinstalled it and I'm still getting the message that the evaluation period has ended. I thought we could still use it for free?
Re: No Disc Backup for HD-DVDs?
Registered users can use it continuously. "Beta" users have to apply a new key every 60 days or so to continue "free use".

Re: No Disc Backup for HD-DVDs?
So then how do I continue using it for free? I've redownloaded it several times after completely uninstalling it and still it keeps telling me that the evaluation period has expired. Same computer, same drive, same firmware. I think the program is bugged.
Re: No Disc Backup for HD-DVDs?
Each 60 days, a new key is generated for non-registered users. It is NOT put in the existing download file; that is updated when the program is, not when the key is.
Sometimes, the key is not generated exactly when the old one expires. That does happen. Those who rely on not registering have to scramble to convince their computer that the expiration date has not passed yet (at least during start-up) when that happens.
If "continuous use" is your goal, registering would be a good idea. Then, there isn't an issue every 60 days.
