Do you have 'ask for single drive mode' checked in MakeMKV's preferences?

Nope, not checked.

I have two BD drives in my system. I notice that if I insert two discs at a time (something that's handy for speeding up ripping multiple discs) only the volume name of the first disc inserted appears in Windows Explorer, and VLC can only play content from that disc. MakeMKV handles both discs at th...

I have the US 4K release of Aliens. The "Play All" option of the deleted/extended scenes brings up a sequence which is 7 chapters, 6:39 in length. I looked all through the titles displayed by MakeMKV but couldn't find a match. When I loaded the whole disc as a source into HandBrake, howeve...

Assuming you're using Windows, there's an app called " Process Monitor " that will tell you which specific file is being accessed WHILE IT'S PLAYING in VLC. Thanks for tip. I'm seeing, for instance, that VLC is reading from G:\BDMV\STREAM\00063.m2ts while a particular episode is playing, ...

...making it difficult to know what's what until after you rip a disc. Sometimes I can tell what's what by the length (duration) of an episode, playing episodes with VLC, seeing how long each is, and matching titles of the same length. This helps identifying extras/bonus material as well. But it's f...

I seem to recall there's a way to change the region in VLC software, probably in the preferences somewhere. Unfortunately, I rarely use VLC so can't point you directly to it. I found a region setting in PowerDVD, based on your comment. I'm not sure yet if I was changing the region for PowerDVD itse...

Numbered regions are for DVDs, lettered regions are for Blu-rays.

Ah! So there is no convenient built-into Windows interface for the Blu-ray region, just the DVD region.

Forgive me that this isn't a MakeMKV-specific question. I'm just hoping people here might have expertise on this subject. I'm not having any problem ripping Region 2 content using MakeMKV, even though all three drives I've tried (an internal Pioneer, an internal LG, and a USB external drive) are set...

for now you must buy through a seller in your region with old FW.

I'm in the US. Where could I find someone to sell me a 4K Pioneer drive (preferably an internal drive) with the old FW?

Answering here or in a PM is fine if you prefer. Thanks.

A general question about discs that need new decryption keys:

Do you need to update the MakeMKV application itself to handle such discs, once someone figures out the needed decryption, or does MakeMKV "phone home" to get the new key without having to be updated?

The dump file was too large to attach, but it had the same file name:
MKB20_v77_Barbie_F028.tgz

Same one I got.

Check this thread. viewtopic.php?p=141757#p141757. If the dump file from your disc is different, make sure you submit it via email to svq@makemkv.com

I just realized I should have looked in the UHD forum first. Thanks!

Since the disc was just released today (US release), I guess I should take it that it's just a matter of time waiting for someone to break the code for this disc?

It's a minor distinction I know, but there seems to be a line in the sand between the two. AFAIK, the various streaming services that work with PlayOn are okay with recordings being made and kept, at least at 720p/Stereo quality, and 1080p/stereo for some material. PlayOn has been around for years ...

The post is off topic but it is MakeMKV adjacent. As such I don't think it is spam. Thank you. Although, unfortunately, I have yet to see any response to my post apart from this silly argument about whether it's spam or not, it seems likely to me that many people assembling video collections from B...
