I have contacted someone, waiting for an email back. Ima in the UK. Its UHDfriendlydrives@gmail.com -Or asmcom? not sure it that's the correct user name.

I have bought two drives from Asmcom, so I'm sure you'll be fine .

So, is there a drive i can buy that just works, without flashing?

Yes, if you buy from one of the sellers who advertise on this forum . Choose one who is local to you.

does the Verbatim 43888 need flashing to work with make MKV and 4kUHD Blu-ray, or is it plug and play? It should be "plug-and-play". However, having said that, my own Verbatim 43888 always reads an incorrect "Volume ID" from UHD disks. My theory is that LibreDrive is a bit buggy...

I already own a Pioneer XD08, which is great for ripping. However, as far as UHD disks are concerned, Pioneers are also completely dependent on LibreDrive. And unless/until Mike can modify LibreDrive to work with the current Pioneer firmware, the pool of LibreDrive-compatible Pioneer drives that are...

I am starting to rip media because we pay for media we never can own. I've done a lot of cd's but I don't have a Blu-Ray/UHD drive(they are the same no?). And from my understanding a libredrive is the cheaper way to do it as well as being reliable. Correct me if I'm wrong though. I just need a driv...

[Nonetheless I sent you an email with the dump file.

Heh, svq@makemkv.com isn't my email address. It's MakeMKV's "UHD processing queue" .

Email the MKB20_v77_THE_ABYSS_34FA.tgz dump file to svq@makemkv.com, and then wait a few days for "magic" to happen. In the meantime, I notice that the public KEYDB.cfg (downloadable from here ) already contains these two entries: 0x4DBCC54736D7F3FE4A163CB63B24308330238135 = THE_ABYSS (THE...

MKB20_v77_THE_HOLDOVERS_21CE.tgz

FWIW, KEYDB.cfg also contains this entry, which may already work for you:

Revision: 1.02 Serial number: <REDACTED> Firmware date: 2022-12-27 Bus encryption flags: 1B Highest AACS version: 68 Sorry, this firmware is too new. You would need something earlier than December 2022, i.e. revision 1.01. Unfortunately, 1.02 and above cannot be downgraded either. This is still a v...

Here is the SHA1 hash: 579B5A307C31AB13B14F55A001E560DFAD17044F OK, KEYDB.cfg confirms that this disk is indeed a UHD disk (MKBv61). So the obvious question now is "Does MakeMKV say that LibreDrive is enabled?". You need LibreDrive to be enabled before MakeMKV can rip a UHD disk, or even ...

How do I generate the Unit_Key_RO.inf file? You don't generate it, it's one of the files on the disk's filesystem, in its AACS/ directory. This link describes how to compute its SHA1 hash. Also, I set up a custom MakeMKV/Data directory, but when I browse it, the keys_hashed.txt file dates from 2018...

Your Amazon link is for a 4K disk, but you are posting in the "regular" BluRay section. Can you post the SHA1 hash of the problem disk's AACS/Unit_Key_RO.inf file please, just to confirm which disk it is?

Problems with 4K disks are best discussed in the "UHD discs" section.

There's also this entry in KEYDB.cfg which might work for you: 0x86F317B3A4BF176DE5CB7EFD0D13A6465D30258F = The Monster Squad [The Monster Squad] | D | 2023-10-10 And even if it doesn't, there's a chance I may still be able to help - check PM if you're interested. Or just wait for MakeMKV's processi...

Bu40n is the only drive to recommend for what you want to do. Thanks. Did you need to flash this drive with different firmware, or did it work for you "out of the box"? What would the "best" firmware for this drive be? Is there a "bad" firmware version beyond which thi...
