Re: The beta key valid until July 2018 does not work

a mistyped email address & people are unnecessarily angry about something they don't quite understand (which happens far more often in life than anyone wants to admit). I had no issues when I bought my license. Agreed! Purchased mine 5 years ago. error free. People have a tendency, these days, ...

Re: "Apocalypse Now" 3-disc BR -- Disc 2 won't rip

I did clean it, yes, thank you. Do unclean discs still play in normal blu-ray players? Because mine did and does, pre- and post-cleaning. Yes they will. What we are doing is essentially a bit by bit copy so the disc quality is much more critical. A standard blu-ray player is not under the same rest...

Have you tried cleaning the disc with a 50/50 solution of water and rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth. Just one more possible problem to try. Good Luck.

Does anyone know if there's a way to update the beta key only for the Mac version?
Just spend the $50.00 and buy the permanent key and you never have to worry about it again.

Re: LG WH16NS40 from Frys Electronics ?

These are now showing as clearance items so a discontinuation is probably not far off. On that note I found an October 2015 wh16ns40, svc code 50, firmware 1.00!! I’ve had my hands on at least 100 of these things never seen one that old. Have to see if it works. Dead on arrival, that sucks, why tho...

Redbox Discs And Why???

I am curious why people continue to ask for the correct playlist for Redbox discs? This says to me that people don't want to invest in the cost of buying the movie, but they want to be able to watch the movie whenever they want and not to have to invest in buying the movie. This sounds like piracy t...

Re: Why People Complain About Registration Key Not Working

I can definitely understand where this frustration comes from. This product is very incredible at helping people back up DVD collections to play in a digital world and I use it all the time. I also have a career in software and i've personally seen what happens when sales don't meet expectations an...

Why People Complain About Registration Key Not Working

I for one am getting very tired of posts that pop up about the first of every month that the temp registration key has expired and they can't use the program for a few days unless they reset their system clock. When I first started to use this great program last year, it was clearly stated that the ...

Re: Evaluation period has expired - won't open discs

It boggles my mind that after using this amazing software just for a day, that you wouldn't purchase it immediately! Support the effort indeed!! I agree with you. After I tried the program for about a week, I purchased the license and have been using it ever since with no problems. And as a side no...

Re: The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Have you tried cleaning the disc first? Sometimes even a brand new disc out of the case can not be clean enough. I am now cleaning every new disc I get with disc cleaner and a microfiber cloth and have not had any failures. Just an idea.

Re: UHD Ripping failing all of a sudden...

I'm more suspicious of dirty disks. In all the cases, there are a LOT of messages about "The source file '/BDMV/STREAM/00###.m2ts' is corrupt or invalid at offset #######, attempting to work around", which is most often the result of something blocking the laser. Sometimes, the drive gets...

Re: Attention. Ver 2.1 protection out

Give Mike some time. Mike never said it was not possible, only that it is not CURRENTLY possible. Not even that - it is impossible with current version of MakeMKV, as new decryption code needs to be written. Key-wise it is possible even now - the same magic that unlocks 2.0 MKBv61 can unlock 2.1 MK...

Re: Current Makemkv beta registration key rejected by 1.12.0

“...whenever a key expires before the new key is issued.” You act like that’s a normal thing in the world. It’s not. It’s a good thing this approach of allowing the current thing to become non-functional before its replacement is available isn’t followed in most areas of life. Like insurance, biolo...

Re: Blu Ray file properties missing details

To get details, you have to have told Windows how to look for them. Windows does not know how to deal with MKV files unless certain third-party programs and libraries are installed. I personally have not had this problem, but it could be helpful to know what programs and libraries you are referring...
