The volume key is unknown for this disc - video can't be decrypted
Failed to open disc
My MakeMKV is 1.17.5 - updated this week. Did I miss a step? Eg, do I need to manually download the SDF and HK files?
Sorry if I'm being dense.
Step one: Send the TGZ file to svq@makemkv.com so that the program's author can create a decryption key for it.
Step two: Wait a few days for the key to be created and made available in the official Hash Key file that MakeMKV downloads when needed. You won't get an email saying this has happened; you need to retry the rip occasionally.
OK, you've been waiting for a while, and no success. Worse, you see where other people are able to rip the disk you cannot, but it still defies you...
