Re: The Wicker Man 4k - dump submitted

It appears that The Final Cut UHD is not encrypted. To rip the movie from this disc: Copy the disc contents to your computer Delete the AACS folder Process using MakeMKV as normal It looks like the presence of the AACS folder confuses MakeMKV, as the content actually does not have this encryption a...

Re: Can't rip from MakeMKV but can copy entire disc manually - still doesn't work

A "good cleaning" doesn't come near to describing what I've done to these discs, the poor things :lol: I have plenty of experience ripping discs over the years, and I've certainly had to clean the odd one here and there to get it to work, but these two simply fail repeatedly in the same wa...

Re: Can't rip from MakeMKV but can copy entire disc manually - still doesn't work

Yeah, I have an internal drive in another PC and both disks have exactly the same problems in that. So different architecture (Windows vs PC), different drives (SATA internal vs USB external) and exactly the same outcome. Bummer, but I suspect manufacturing defects in the discs, even though again th...

Re: Can't rip from MakeMKV but can copy entire disc manually - still doesn't work

Ah! Got it, thanks for explaining it. I did as you suggest, and had the same problems at the same spots this time simply copying the contents, so that makes sense. I’ll just have to re-buy these two discs - not bad odds given that I’ve ripped a few hundred, that’s less than 1% failure rate. Interest...

Can't rip from MakeMKV but can copy entire disc manually - still doesn't work

Hi all, I have two discs which will not rip via MakeMKV. One of them (Candyman) reads about 2/3rds and then has read errors. The other one (Flash Gordon) has all sorts of problems even opening, and if it ever gets that far it fails soon into ripping. Having said that, I can pull the entire contents ...

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

I can confirm Verbatim #43888 is LibreDrive capable external Pioneer drive. I had it on 1.14 firmware (2020-06-15) from the box matching the following entry. PIONEER-BD-RW___BDR-UD04-1.14-489CDFD6-8A10-20200615 Although it does not matter MakeMKV this drive seems to be official 4K UHD BD drive with...

Re: Verbatim 34888 is super

I bought the Verbatim USB-C Slimline drive for my Mac, however it does not see any Blu-rays other than the one it came with (PDF manuals etc). I've attached a screenshot of MakeMKV with the drive attached. No logs, and after a few minutes of knocking sounds it just ejects any disc I've tried, UHD or...

Re: Candyman 4k will not rip

Just watched the R-rated version on the Oppo - did not so much as skip a beat. Flawless playback. Why won’t it rip then? Sigh.

Re: Candyman 4k will not rip

I’ve tried three times, cleaning again each time. In all cases it gets to the same spot, 41.5GB into it, which is about 2/3rds, and then has read errors.

Re: Flash Gordon 40th Anniversary 4K (Studio Canal)

Same here. I have cleaned this disk to the point of wearing it thin. Plays perfectly in the Oppo, but simply will not be seen by the drive when trying to rip.
