MakeMKV version, LibreDrive and AnyDVD UHD

[Lonald]

Yesterday I was trying to back up a UHD disc and received an error message indicating that the failure I was seeing was due to a LibreDrive error in accessing the disc (when I ran the Scanner program).

Interestingly, when I ran MakeMKV, the disc was accessible.

There was a new version available and so I then updated the latest beta (1.17.5) and put in the current registration code.

Out of curiosity, I tried CloneBD and the disc is now available.

Is the fix to keep your MakeMKV registration up to date, or was the version update the fix? Or both?

Thanks!

AnyDVD tells you in the info window if the MakeMKV version is too old.

Yes, the scanner looks for the error in AnyDVD and tells you to go fix MakeMKV to resolve those errors. Which is what you did, and it fixed it.

A suggestion on the error message, for those of us who would not think of these things first, like MakeMKV registration and version. I first thought of hardware problems and drive BIOS problems.

So, having the error message provide a suggestion for checking version and registration of the MakeMKV would provide better guidance. I spent a good amount of time looking at re-flashing the drives.

Of course, answers are always in the last place you look...

Version check is enough, registration not required (some have bought a license for it and do not need to enter a new key every X weeks and those would wonder why they should check registration when they have a bought license).

Same here. I have bought 4 MakeMKV licenses for my PC/laptops over the years, and they're worth every penny, along with AnyDVD, of course.

AnyDVD just tells what Makemkv tells. That's it. You should be able to draw your own conclusions. Re-flashing is just an absurd thought.

Remind me to not post here again.

Now c'mon. You feel insulted? What's wrong with the status message to either update or uninstall Makemkv? A digital choice and nothing about firmware update or whatsoever. It gives you no option to think about. Just update or uninstall. So just do it what you did finally.
