Tips\Screenshot:	Makemkv has been in a state of perpetual beta that requires you to download a fresh copy on a set schedule If you want to support the software and eliminate the expiring beta copies you can purchase it. Makemkv does support backing up 4k Bluray dics but does require specific drives and firmware combinations. Specific info, how to guides etc can be found in the Makemkv forum here. Makemkv relies on a database of key files in order to backup 4k UHD discs. If you are processing a brand new title I have found it helpful to manually download a new database of available keys manually. (Makemkv normally does this in the background automatically. The following simple powershell script forces a manual download \ update. ) This solves most of my issues with new titles. `$sourceUrl = "http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/fv_download.php?lang=eng" # Edit destination path to make the location of your MakeMKV Install $destinationPath = "C:\Users\username\.MakeMKV\keydb_eng.zip" # Download the file and overwrite if it already exists Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $sourceUrl -OutFile $destinationPath -UseBasicParsing`
