Re: James Cameron UHDs

Now on my third Aliens disc, and still no rip is possible.

My copy of the Abyss arrived today, and I'm testing it out.

This is getting to a point where my returns are going to be rejected, as even I think it's suspicious.

Re: The Abyss 4K

I've got a similar issue with the 4K Aliens disc, with the same apparent manufacturing defect. Title 0 fails to rip, and I tried it with both the Asus BW-16D1HT and LG BH16NS55 drives.

Given the number of reports, it looks like there's a systemic issue with some batches of multiple titles.

Re: Zack Snyder's Justice League (USA Retail Version)

I had issues ripping disc one of the Canadian release on two separate units. MakeMKV would indicate that it was reading the edge of the disc, and things would slow to a crawl before read errors would occur, and the rip fail. After ripping the disc as an ISO using AnyDVD (copy protection removed), I ...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

It's almost certain that I've missed the posts where this is already covered, but has there been any progress towards getting DV rips from MakeMKV to work using an Amazon Fire Stick 4K? I've been able to get the custom Exoplayer working, and the test files play beautifully, but playback of any MKVs ...

Wreck-it-Ralph Three Titles

I'm hoping that someone has some insight on this one. For the 4K Wreck-It-Ralph disc, when I open the disk via MakeMKV, there are 4 titles listed (see attached image). One of these is a supplementary feature, and isn't a concern. https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApS01SLInYqthLMvheQ-4zqsHkl3Lw For the other 3 tit...

Re: Incredibles 2

I tried again using a different drive and it worked fine????? Unfortunately, there does appear to be an issue with some drives being able to read the discs. In the case of Blade Runner, and Batman Begins, I couldn't get successful rips. In both cases, I got Amazon to arrange a replacement, calling ...

Re: 100% Firmware Downgrade for ASUS BW-16D1HT and LG BH16NS55

Just wanted to mention that this method is still working perfectly, and I was able to flash two BW-16D1HT drives from 3.03 to 3.01. Both are reading UHD discs without issues. As a small note, if you have an older PC laying about, take a look in BIOS to see if it only allows IDE. This was the case fo...

Re: What are your playback setups?

Unfortunately for everyone on a HTPC, not until a current PC software UHD disk player developer obtains access the DV enhancement layer plus metadata officially (paying Dolby license) or unofficially. Becuase DV is closed source that may be difficult, but not impossible. We may just need to be a bi...

Re: Trouble with Disney UHDs

Spider-Man worked doing the backup thing. So, it's just GotG2 now. It seems to fail half way through (even on copy paste). This is my 2nd disk on this title. The first had playback issues at chapter 11. Wonder if this still has issues there. Edit: I just remembered Spider-Man isn't even Disney. Sor...

Re: Trouble with Disney UHDs

I recently began ripping my UHDs to mkv, and most of them are working fine. However, so far, I have had trouble with three titles, all Disney films. Thor Ragnarok, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and Spider-Man Homecoming. I get messages that there are problems with sectors after awhile and the rip...

Re: UHD Help

I've been using the LG BE16NU50 which is external. It's quite a chunky unit but it seems to do the job well. I managed to snag this model of drive fom Newegg.ca, and it's been working pretty much flawlessly. Out of all my UHD discs, only three have been problematic. Unfortunately, this drive appear...

Re: Coming soon 50 plus UHD dumps from Canada uhds.......

The new hashed keys allowed for Dredd to be decrypted, but still no luck in getting T2 or Batman and Harley Quinn to work.
