Don't know why this is all done via PM, but I am also looking for a good drive.

Because transactions are private; this site isn't just one vendor selling stuff, and the vendors don't own the forum.

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...

Does the offset change when you rip again, or always at the same spot? Same spot usually means a disk error. Moving around often means the drive runs out of power trying to spin that fast, which is a different error, which means you need to limit how fast the drive can go, or give it more power. Thi...

Handbrake tries to find forced subtitle tracks by simply counting the # of subtitles... A track with 10% or less of other tracks in the same language is "most likely" forced. But that does not always work, and it doesn't do the counting until it starts encoding, so... not a great option if...

Debug log did not attach, because of limitations in the software here. Try putting the log between [ code ][ /code ] tags (without the spaces) in your message, if it's less than 64K in size.

That's a Pioneer drive, which should NOT be updated with "modern" (from Pioneer) firmware, due to their anti-piracy stance. But, I'll let others go into the details on that.

The BW-16D1H-U Pro has different hardware depending on when it was built. Older ones do not do UHD, newer ones can (with firmware updates).

What does MakeMKV show for your drive information?

As for why you cannot upload... MakeMKV is hosted with limited upload capability. Unfortunately, we hit that limit about a year or so back, and no one seems to want to clean up old uploads. I haven't had time to go and do that. It's been a decade since I had to clean up a forum that way, so my mind ...
