File dump_FW

[DukeFleed]

Good morning everyone.

I found a dump_FW_xxxxxx.tgz file in the ~/.makemkv directory and, not knowing what it was, I deleted it. Then later by starting MakeMKV I saw that it is the program that creates this file and invites me to send it to support@makemkv.com.

What is this file? And why do I have to send it? Thank you.

what drive do you have?
better to just show us your makemkv drive info just copy paste it ill tell you if its worth sending in.

Ok. For now I'm not interested in UHD, if one day I change my mind (I don't think so) I will contact you. Thank you.
