Re: Apocalypse Now Final Cut 4k DV: Which one to rip?

Typically in situations where there are two apparently identical files to rip, I've noticed that if a running commentary is provided with the movie, it's usually imbedded in the second one. Usually if you play the movie directly from the disc, the visual menu will give you a choice to either turn on...

Accessing isolated music scores

Has anyone had any success getting JUST the isolated music scores from any movie, 4K or blu-ray?

JFK 4K Director's Cut not loading

JFK 4K UHD is almost a month old now and the codes are still not loading.

Re: JFK 4K UHD not decoding

For what it's worth, I'm only having issues with opening the JFK 4K UHD disc.
All other UHD discs open just fine.

I guess I'll have to wait for Mike to add the special decoder ring file.

Re: HK downloading disabled or failed error

For what it's worth, I'm having the issue of not being able to open the disc ONLY on JFK 4K UHD.
All other UHD discs open fine.

HK downloading disabled or failed error

I've been getting the following error for some time now: Automatic HK downloading is disabled or failed. I've checked the Preferences and internet access is allowed. It hasn't been a problem up until when I tried to rip the new JFK 4K UHD disc. Not sure if the two are related. I'm currently running ...

Re: The Firm 4K

It would appear that either flushing my DNS server and/or putting in the proxy address worked, since I can now rip Time Bandits 4K.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Re: HK files not downloading

Deleted my Ethernet connection and restored it.

Will try again later to connect.

Still seems funny that only the 4K media won't work.

HK files not downloading

With the exception of the actual name of the media itself, I have been getting this error since June 13th, when John Wick Chapter 4 came out. It has continued with EVERY 4K media I attempt to rip. Blu-ray versions of the same title (specifically John Wick Chapter 4) work perfectly fine. Automatic SD...

Re: The Firm 4K

I tried removing the private_data file, rebooted my machine.
No joy.

I am grateful for having an alternative program that DOES work.
I prefer the makemkv interface, but what good does that do me if I can't get the f'ing thing to work!

Re: The Firm 4K

I have tried all three movies on multiple occasions since the purported HK drop.
My software is not allowing 4K HK files from coming through.
I have internet access turned on, and all the media work perfectly through other software.

I am at a loss as to what to do.

Re: New Install - SDF and HK Not Downloading - Any suggestions?

Here is an additional wrinkle to the puzzle.
The blu-ray John Wick Chapter 4 decodes perfectly.

What am I doing wrong that keeps 4K media ONLY from being read by makemkv, when the exact same disc can be read by a different (is DVDFab 12 UHD ripper) just fine?

The Firm 4K

Typical release day issues.
Sent the tgz file up. Not sure if anyone is doing anything with them anymore.
I'm still waiting for results for John Wick, Chapter 4 and Time Bandits.

Re: Download for version 1.17.4 gone

I went to makemkv.info, selected the Download page and successfully grabbed the 1.17.4 macOS version.
