I have Windows, but also spend a lot of time in Linux (Deepin OS 20) and while it has VLC, am wondering how tough it will be to get the java-problem fixed in a 64-bit linux so menues and stuff work in VLC. In Windows, I have had to go back to 32-bit to have it work properly. VLC's Java menus work f...

You can probably still buy a modern LibreDrive-compatible Pioneer from one of the sellers who advertise on this forum.

Why isn't there a new beta-key?

AFAIK the only person who can do this is Mike. Patience is your only option....

Successfully ripped "The Abyss" 4k, FINALLY!

So what "did it" for you in the end? Replacement disks? A new drive? Sacrificing a ripe mango to Cthulhu...?

I have contacted someone, waiting for an email back. Ima in the UK. Its UHDfriendlydrives@gmail.com -Or asmcom? not sure it that's the correct user name.

I have bought two drives from Asmcom, so I'm sure you'll be fine .

So, is there a drive i can buy that just works, without flashing?

Yes, if you buy from one of the sellers who advertise on this forum . Choose one who is local to you.

does the Verbatim 43888 need flashing to work with make MKV and 4kUHD Blu-ray, or is it plug and play? It should be "plug-and-play". However, having said that, my own Verbatim 43888 always reads an incorrect "Volume ID" from UHD disks. My theory is that LibreDrive is a bit buggy...

I already own a Pioneer XD08, which is great for ripping. However, as far as UHD disks are concerned, Pioneers are also completely dependent on LibreDrive. And unless/until Mike can modify LibreDrive to work with the current Pioneer firmware, the pool of LibreDrive-compatible Pioneer drives that are...

I am starting to rip media because we pay for media we never can own. I've done a lot of cd's but I don't have a Blu-Ray/UHD drive(they are the same no?). And from my understanding a libredrive is the cheaper way to do it as well as being reliable. Correct me if I'm wrong though. I just need a driv...

[Nonetheless I sent you an email with the dump file.

Heh, svq@makemkv.com isn't my email address. It's MakeMKV's "UHD processing queue" .

Email the MKB20_v77_THE_ABYSS_34FA.tgz dump file to svq@makemkv.com, and then wait a few days for "magic" to happen. In the meantime, I notice that the public KEYDB.cfg (downloadable from here ) already contains these two entries: 0x4DBCC54736D7F3FE4A163CB63B24308330238135 = THE_ABYSS (THE...

MKB20_v77_THE_HOLDOVERS_21CE.tgz

FWIW, KEYDB.cfg also contains this entry, which may already work for you:

Revision: 1.02 Serial number: <REDACTED> Firmware date: 2022-12-27 Bus encryption flags: 1B Highest AACS version: 68 Sorry, this firmware is too new. You would need something earlier than December 2022, i.e. revision 1.01. Unfortunately, 1.02 and above cannot be downgraded either. This is still a v...
