Maybe this is because AnyDVD removed "key.txt" support.
keysdb.cfg It still compatible to AnyDVD 8.2.1.7.
Why remove support of it. If makemkv has the hashed key for ones UHD-disc, but AnyDVD should not (maybe) occasionally,
the affected user just needs to use hashed-key to keysdb.cfg-converter from makemkv.
Well I'd find it handy to preserve keys.txt in AnyDVD.:bowdown:
I didn't say anything at all that the new OPD support for UHD was bad.
Can't it exist well in coexistence?

What is the disadvantage of preserving "keys.txt" (even if older format type) ?
Well makemkv can convert hashed key to keysdb.cfg, can it not?
To me it looked like makemkv was doing format-processing (not involving a keysdb.cfg list from known older discs)
And is the other hash/VUK part or whatever needed for decrypting still missing in keysdb.cfg from makemkv??
It's all confusing, as AnyDVD implemented this file format feature, and people could use it to fed AnyDVD with it for decryption.
And afaik it seems to me that there was no other decryption information part involved from AnyDVD at that time (maybe).

Let me me make this absolutely clearly so you understand. AnyDVD DOES NOT READ HASHED KEYS. Let me say it again. AnyDVD NEVER READ HASHED KEYS. That is a proprietary MakeMKV ONLY format that AnyDVD DOES NOT USE. The known leaked keys that were NOT in the hashed key file have already been added to the OPD so there was NO REASON to keep the key file capability enabled in AnyDVD. Just so we're clear, AnyDVD DOES NOT READ HASHED KEYS.

Hi, Pedro, just download the latest BETA version (8.1.2.9) of AnyDVD (there's a link at the top of this AnyDVD HD blu-ray forum) and it might be able to decrypt those UHD discs.

I believe it's 8.2.1.9

That is not the issue I'm talking about. I'm talking about the keydb.cfg, is that a non-hashed key format or not?
AnyDVD accepts keydb.cfg (so I'd guess it's not hashed key format!)
Does makemkv have a hash key to non-hash-key file converter or not?
I know that hashed-key probably is better and that AnyDVD doesn't/didn't support it with keys.txt,
It's about converting hashed key to non-hashed key format in makemkv (optional feature).
And AnyDVD could use the non-hashed-key waY, when reintgrating back key.txt file which is same as keydb.cfg, see other posts
It is unknown to me that anyone used the file-name "keydb.cfg" for hashed-key format keyfile!

hello, I have the file of the keys used by makemkv, UHDKEYS.cfg, this file does not rename to UHDKEYS.srt, I change the extension to SRT, with makemkv I see that I can rip the UHD, but with anydvd it does not let me do it, this UHDKEYS.srt file, I put it in the folder C: \ Users \ xxx \ Documents \ AnyDVDHD, it is strange that anydvd does not work with this disk, what should I do

Ch3vr0n said:
Rename the makemkv file to UHDkeys.txt. Place that in the documents folder anydvd mentions and you're done. BUT the catch is, the disc your trying to do HAS to be supported by one of the currently leaked keys. That's the only way AnyDVD currently supports UHD. It does NOT have native UHD support to decrypt. AACS 2.0 has NOT yet been cracked

AnyDVD doesn't care about extensions. You can place and name the file wherever you want. It just needs to be a properly formatted keyfile.

Im thinking you are not realizing that the makemkv figured out there own way to generate the key. The keys that makemkv are generating are being "encrypted" as hashed keys so only their software can use it. Same way no other software has access to anydvd OPD. There is no converter from makemkv. MakeMKV COULD release the keys in plain text for standard keydb.cfg but why would they? doesn't make good business sense.

Here are results , still negative.

ANYDVD HD either with decrypt box checked or unchecked gave reading ERROR after 44% reading on sectors 11318580-113186609 ( decrypot box checked ) and 11368680-11368709 ( decrypt box unchecked ) , then drive just blocked.

Made a partial ISO file with only 20GB – 7 chapters - 36 m 36 s length , instead of complete ISO file 50GB 1 hr 30 min length and 17 chapters.


What can be problem here ? Any ideas ?
Anyone from RedFox able to comment ?

OK, sounds plausible.
I had an idea but that statement below did/does bring me to expect otherwise, and because that other software stuff is free during testing/beta phases anyway, I'd expect they' wouldn't mind if RedFox got some benefit of their findings.
And why is mike admin telling that stuff below?

Damn there's bus encryption. Probably on all UHD-Blu-rays could have it.

AnyDVD can remove Bus encryption (at least I know for AACS 1.0, maybe 2.0 too) and make even encrypted backups (without double-encryption, through removing the Bus-encryption)
"gddresuce" in Linux is not an option here as your disc asks for bus-encryption +drive supports it.
If AnyDVD only had a gddrescue-option, like specialised read sequence on the good sectors first, then the problematic readable sectors at the rest of tries, resuming rescue operation in several drives, without manual fiddling as for now in AnyDVD.

All that matters is that AnyDVD is using the OPD. (y)

KEYDB.cfg... Meh. (n) keys_hashed.txt... Meh. (n) These are fine for other software but they serve absolutely zero purpose with AnyDVD. It's redundant.

Your disc and / or drive is dirty and / or defective. You can try, if you can copy or convert the required title with CloneBD.

Well then it's quite easy to "annoy" you (and maybe some others).
I try to stay with the topic mixing into topic-matching issues.
Often there are no direct useful understandable answers, sometimes short term sentences/explanations "rude" even if it might match the topic, so I have to ask back.
It's just some people are newbees and not that fast in understanding like you are.
And it's not so easy because many people (including me) writing also off topic-stuff and problems who want to try to help each others issues.

I don't think, that official UHD drives will work in the future. So if you enjoy the idea to use AnyDVD for UHD playback, you should buy a "friendly" drive now while stock lasts... ;)

I bought 2. Not to hoard but rather, in case the first one breaks.

As James pointed out dirty disc or drive clean your disc I have noticed with the 4k movies they no as forgiving as standard blurays they are very picky
 
Just got my Asus BW-16D1HT

manufactured Feb 2017 and came with firmware 3.00. I updated it to 3.02 and tested it with Trolls 4K and worked fine. Was able to see the files/open the MTS file with Media Player Classic.
Awesome job.

You aren't kidding about that. I've had to clean mine numerous times as I test the various ripping solutions as they present themselves. Any little mark on them at all and the discs fail to read. I thought my Ghostbusters 2016 disc was completely screwed but after cleaning it thoroughly I was able to rip the whole thing.
 
I recently ripped a standard Blu-ray. One drive always procuced dozens of read errors during ripping. Then tried in another drive model, it managed to read entire data with full read-rate, not any slow-down, as if there there nothing bad with the disc.

Disc was cleaned in one step, no cleaning steps later. No visible scratches.
Repeating the process with same disc in the more tolerant drive (LiteOn iHOS-104, no BDXL), still 100% success.
Repearting process with less tolerant drive with that disc always errors at same location.

So I'd guess drive's error correction could also have huge impact on it.

Can you make an unencrypted 1:1 ISO of a UHD disc now?

Can you burn the unencrypted 1:1 ISO back to a blank 50/66/100 gb blank and play it back on a 4K hardware player like the Oppo 203/5? (In other words, the same way you can for Blu-Ray right now, with respect to the the Cinavia caveats?)

If you can't now, will you be able to at some point later on?

I did read through the thread and if this was answered, I missed it.

To me the whole point of going to a 4K UHD TV / Player is to get the full disc experience, and I'm only really interested in 1:1 4K/UHD backups. MKV for me is only really something I'd want for a 4K title not available on disc (i.e., purchased 4K titles for streaming that I want to have available locally).
