If you look at the title in MakeMKV, what does it say about the playlist and the streams? When I just put my copy in one of my BU40Ns and looked at it, it shows 3 items, one of which is 1.2 GB and 2 chapters, the others of which are the same stream, but one has the chapter metadata, while the other ...

Good news, I'm able to back up my disc today.

I'm aware, and I did. I posted about it.

Those are all recent titles. They require prep work on Mike's side. I just received my copy of Darkman today.

Just received my copy from Shout! Factory. Dump file name is:

I'm not able to look hkdata.crabdance.com up via any DNS server at all. Also, when I try to connect directly to 185.84.108.20 , it returns a Let's Encrypt! certificate that has been expired since 15 Sep 2023. Doing: curl -k -s --resolve 'hkdata.crabdance.com:443:185.84.108.20' https://hkdata.crabdan...

This sounds like what happened with my WH16NS60 before it finally stopped reading all Blu-ray Discs (still reads DVDs, but I assume its blue-violet laser must have ate it).

Working for me now as well, as of the latest HK download.

Surprising there's still nothing for this one, neither via HK updates nor in KEYDB.cfg.

Blu-ray Discs can use any of 3 different video codecs: a) MPEG-2 part 2/H.262, b) MS/SMPTE VC-1, or c) MPEG-4 part 10/AVC/H.264. (Modern Blu-ray releases are all MPEG-4 part 10, other than occasional repressings of older VC-1 masters.) The seek breakups with VLC are because its handling of MPEG-2 tr...

I see keys for them already in the latest KEYDB revisions, so one way or another, it looks like I'll be able to back them up...

I'm not expecting mine till... Wednesday, I guess (just checked).

Just submitted the dump for this one, which I just received from Shout! Factory.

Google is your friend. Search for "keydb.cfg". Put the file in your ~/.MakeMKV/ directory.

Edit: The keys will almost certainly show up via HK download in a few days, but if you want to back the discs up now, this is an alternative way to get there.

I downloaded the latest KEYDB, and I was able to use that with MakeMKV. The discs are backing up for me now.

Edit: All three backed up successfully.
