Makemkv backup greyed out license#

I've sought help on their forum, but still no explanation for all this, and no joy.Īnyway, I'd be happy to buy a license for MakeMKV, but I'd like this problem to receive a real and lasting fix. Īre these 'fatal errors' triggered by some latest new wrinkle in the copy protections that MakeMKV just cannot cope with ? Even so, that wouldn't explain the crashes with no disc loaded - which definitely does NOT happen when the program is actually working.

(Perhaps there are some alternate output formats one could select for Fab, other than ISO ? I gained a more than adequate familiarity with the DVD file structures, but never really did that for BR.) Not entirely sure about this, but I think the MKV format also kills Cinavia stone cold dead. Unfortunately for me, I much prefer working with the MKV format output by MakeMKV, as opposed to the BR file structures output by Fab. It won't be a hardware problem either, because DVD Fab keeps chugging right along, doing its thing as expected, on the very same BR discs. My system in question has not changed at all, over the intervening time. There was no sign of this behavior a week ago. I processed 4 or 5 BR titles over the last couple weeks with no problem using MakeMKV, but this morning we are right back to 'Fatal Error.' This even happens with no disc loaded. Either way, the same problem is sure to return. (Have to call that a crash, folks !) I'll uninstall MakeMKV, reinstall it (still with the current version), then it may work for a short while, _or it may not_. I keep getting 'Fatal Error', and then the program closes. The problem is that I've found it to be much too unreliable on my computers. I'd go so far as to make the argument that MakeMKV is nearly indispensable, we should be very glad to have it, and we should support it.īelieve me, I'd like to rate this much more highly, because **when it is working** it is simply great at what it does. (Can't comment on BDtoAVCHD *yet*, as I haven't tried to use it, so far.) The only 3 programs I'm aware of that can handle the protections of commercial discs are: the Red Fox takeover of AnyDVD, and reviews of that company and its business practices here are troubling, to say the least Fab, which is pricey even with discounts, has a totally different operational approach, and about which company somewhat ditto to the situation with Red Fox and MakeMKV, which has been offered at no charge to us for quite a few years. Most of the 'alternatives' listed here are long defunct. When critiquing this program, we need to get real: there ain't anything much left on the market that does what this program does.

I recently learned why desired subs from BR were not being rendered (thanks to the aforementioned forum), and this will involve the nuisance extra step of using some additional software. There will be some BR discs that give it problems.

For full functionality, you should have recent Java installed, and appropriately pointed to for MakeMKV to find it.

The issues are more likely associated with Blu-Ray. The MakeMKV forum is a good place for exploring that, and possibly also here on VH. Yes, your particular hardware could be a factor.

This is probably not in the class of a cut & dry, 'one-size-fits-all', 'set it and forget it' software there can be some wrinkles, if you are not diligent about looking into them. It has worked pretty reliably for me for the most part, with occasional issues on certain rigs. I've used it for years (on Win 7 圆4), prior to purchasing a license. Congratulations to the developers, and I hope there will be more evolutions of this program.

I have not used makemkv for some time, but I do recommend using the program (I am aware of its existence and have used it in a variety of ways since the years of 2015), because it is simple in its proposal, which is to transform the entire structure of a bd or dvd (video audio tracks and subtitles), in a single mkv file, and for those who do not have a desktop player to watch their physical media, but have a media player, this program, it is more than mandatory, to facilitate the whole process A nice point to highlight would be the possibility of testing the program for a generous period, let's say, with a free key (since the price of the program itself may be of little accessibility but I understand why the value, in view, of its functionality and proposal), this allows the user to have an honest judgment of the program, before buying, if any kind of 'surprises' Anyway, in my opinion, it's an excellent program that got it right, in simplifying a process, at first simple, that can be done with other programs, but it would demand a lot of work and time.
