There are some very basic things I'm unclear about, so I thought I'd ask rather than just relying on assumptions from years old threads:
"Libredrive" is a mode of operation by MakeMKV, correct? So, you simply run MakeMKV to get Libredrive active. Is that correct? SamuriHL posted before, "LibreDrive uploads firmware code that bypasses MKB revocation and disables bus encryption", which makes it sound to me like to get the MKB and bus encryption bypass, there is some kind of firmware patching & "uploading" involved. If there is anything else you have to do besides running MakeMKV to get LibreDrive active, what is it?
It also sounds to me like you would NEVER want to put a UHD (or even Blu-Ray) disc in a "UHD Friendly" flashed drive WITHOUT LibreDrive active, because otherwise, it will update MKB revocation, which might make a disc no longer able to be decrypted with revoked keys that AnyDVD might be using. Is that correct?
What if you use *only* AnyDVD? Does AnyDVD block MKB revocation as well? Because if it doesn't, it sounds like you would never want to use AnyDVD without MakeMKV also running.
I'm also not completely understanding the sticky about AnyDVD + LibreDrive. Is it about blocking MKB revocation? If not, then what specific benefits do you get with AnyDVD + LibreDrive? Again... this means running MakeMKV and AnyDVD at the same time, correct?
