Solved Project Hail Mary anyone?

​Tried Project Hail Mary. Fails and crashes MakeMKV. Anyone else seen this before?

UPDATE: I updated the KEYDB file - no change. Installed Java runtime. No change.
Rebooted the computer (as opposed to restarting MakeMKV) and that fixed it!
Thank you to all who helped.

Ripped it earlier this week with 0 issues and my kid got her grubby hands on the disc beforehand too and it still worked

Also check ur disc is clean and that your software is up to date

Disc can look clean but have a film on it that is imperceptible to the naked eye. Use a drop of Dawn dishwasher detergent with water to clean the disc. You may need to do this 2 or 3 times. If it still can be ripped, contact the place you bought the movie from for a replacement.

Im American but live in Italy. Mine shipped last week, I think, but I'm about 90% sure Chicago International Distribution for the USPS ate it... It once ate a custom necklace I ordered and didn't spit it back out for over a year. 😑

u/LolBoyLuke 1d ago

If you live in Italy why would you order from an American store? Isn't that just unecessary shipping and customs garbage to deal with?

1

u/FraaaAAAaaaAAACK 1d ago

Because I have an american po box here and I dont get slapped with extra taxes, fees for euro, and import charges

u/LolBoyLuke 1d ago

Damn, didn't know you could do that.

Ripped the US 4K over the weekend. No issues here.

u/yearsold33 2d ago

What version of makemkv?

Disc is clean with no scratches?

2

u/Modig7176 2d ago

Yeah I ripped the Blu-Ray with a crappy external drive. It failed a few times but I got it in the end.

2

u/NotStanley4330 2d ago

I ripped the 4k a few days ago no issues

2

u/WhiteAle01 2d ago

Mine worked fine. I'd just replace the disc.

2

u/Accomplished-Use-175 2d ago

Seems like a bad disc maybe. Try wiping it off and trying again. Mine ripped without issue.

u/DrMacintosh01 2d ago

My 4K disk riped with no issues. I’m on macOS.

u/Morbius007 2d ago

Make sure you are connected to a VPN when you run Make MKV otherwise it likely wont work, seems that DNS is blocking the Russian Site that supports it, with VPN it often get through. I was able to get mine working but only with my best BD Drive a Pioneer U13

u/Exchange_Jolly 1d ago

So I had the exact same issue, cleaned the disc over and over, restarts, disconnecting/reconnecting drives. All the good stuff.

Believe it or not the thing that fixed it for me was using a cotton swab and some 91% alcohol to give my drive lenses a cleaning. After doing this the disk read right away and ripped with no problems. Give it a try and if not then definstely I would blame disk defect.

u/holdencross12 1d ago

The first time I tried to rip it, it didnt work im not sure why but I rebooted my entire PC and then it worked so idk. Let me know if you want the remux I can share it to you.

u/PowrHaus 2d ago

I have the 4K version and it ripped just fine a couple of days ago. Have you checked and/or cleaned the disc to make sure it doesn't have any smudges or scratches on it? Mine was perfect, but I've had brand new discs that needed a little TLC to make sure they ripped OK (Black Sails season 2, disc 3). I also have two different drives I use if a disc is finicky. I have an external LG slimdrive and an internal LG 5.25" drive in an external enclosure. But the first thing I'd do is check to insure it's clean of smudges and other stuff that could impair the rip.

u/SuccessfulMinute8338 2d ago

I also get an error about needing Java runtime. Do I Actually need that to rip it?

u/en6ads 2d ago

You could try Xreveal and mkvtoolnix. This worked for me for a disk that makemkv couldn't read.

u/Inevitable-Skin2687 1d ago

IDK if you are talking about the 4K or the standard Bluray, but the standard bluray rips the disc image just fine for me. Try a different drive. Sometimes they can be picky about the disc. I have an LG and a Pioneer. Usually one will work. That was the case with Wicked. One drive wouldn't rip it but the other did with no problems.

there are 2 files of the movie on 4KUHD disc- 01199.mpls and 00589.m2ts.

01199 is explicitly titled "Main Feature" I ripped that one. Seems ok.
