I want to make the jump to UHD.
However, I've yet to figure out a working setup for either playback or decryption which allows quick access to my backup copies. Using a computer drive is even faster than VHS on a 20TB My Book Duo, so I was looking to move away from loadings, and warnings, and menus with unnecessary animation and errors if I want to skip any of them with UHD, as there is no way back once you get used to such configuration
FFmpeg has done miracles so far to convert a batch of mkv:

I couldn't find SGX in BIOS of ASUS ROG RAMPAGE VI. This is where I'm stuck.
Second problem
Unable to get through AACS2.0/C v61.
> Using ASUS BC-12D2HT 3.01 or LG WH16NS60 1.01 with MakeMKV 1.14.1 and 7.11.2018 "keys_hashed".
I've tried ASUS BC-12D2HT (friendly) and it didn't came with 3.00 installed. Then I've tried LG WH16NS60 (official) but it didn't came with 1.00 installed. I'd like to try the WH16NS58 or WH16NS40 but I've been told they were friendly drives that couldn't read AACS 2, that an official drive with maybe 1.0 would work for decryption as well. I am out of solution and money to throw on drives that cannot do what I want...MakeMKV v1.14.1 win(x64-release) started
