Ooooo... an artificial intelligence engine for ripping disks? Interesting thought... Although, it would primarily be learning how to ask questions about disks that don't read properly, rather than how to get around that.

The image link requires you to log in with a GOOGLE account to view the image, so only people with such accounts have a chance of seeing it.

"Popping the seal" does not mean "flawless". It just means you're the first person to attempt to read the disk. If the disk is actually from 2013, it's had 11 years to get in-package chemicals accumulating on the surface.

Try cleaning the disk with a soft, damp cloth.

Unfortunately, it depends on what "the other guys" are doing. It's possible that 700-900 "people" are simply reading EVERYTHING, one message at a time, indexing things, but the legitimate search engines are NOT doing that. I'm guessing some sort of attack is going on, but it isn'...

Knowing what the output of your update program was would be helpful. You haven't said what you were using to update.

They would have different requirements if they did, but that's something else.

Attachments are currently broken. You can include a significant portion of the log in a message, though.

AACS version has characteristics. Reading the log where it failed (rather than one where it worked) will tell us more.

Including the name of the file would help with knowing which versions have been submitted. Each unique version has a different file name, with the last 4 characters being significant.

Curious - what makes a "DVD-R" "RE-writable"? It's officially "DVD-Recordable", so it doesn't have a re-writable quality. It is entirely possible to put copy protection on them, just not the type where a disk is manufactured with purpose-generated bad sectors, like was ...

In the last month, I have identified a number of old accounts that have suddenly appeared as spammers. One today was from 2020, and it was removed/banned. If you have a "simple password", or one that you use on multiple accounts around the web, I suggest you re-assess your usage, to avoid ...

No, it's because the key isn't known on your system. Was there another error message about not being able to contact HKDATA?

Downloading latest HK to C:\Users\chafa/.MakeMKV ... Automatic HK downloading is disabled or failed. Your system is blocking downloading the key file. This is becoming more common as sanctions against Russia increase. There are several fixes listed in a couple of topics about this on the board. My ...

Firmware date on this "new" drive is 4 years old, so try it with encryption turned OFF (not checked).

Forced subtitles are usually handled two ways: Separate track (most often). Main subtitle track, with FORCED flag set (not very often, but Avatar uses it, amongst others). Star Trek movies use... different means. Klingon audio is often simply inserted in the video, and "subtitles" appear w...
