The best drive I guess is which ever one you have that works. The problem I was plagued with was apparently all firmware related. My oldest drive from 2017 is copying 4K every bit as good now as my newest 2023 drive. Out of 24 UHD 4K disks tested, these are the results: wh14ns40 - (2017) firmware ve...

I guess no harm was done. I am wishing you health and happiness and good luck with the gift you were born with.

We advise you to use the UHD guide by Billycar11. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19634 I am running 1.02 with all three of my LGs (BP60 included). Four if you include my dead one. 1.01 on my Pioneer because it came with that FW. And my ASUS (x2) are on 3.10. You have to remember pe...

. I haven't used v1.02 on anything since sometime back in 2017. ahh now it all comes to light wh16ns60 1.02mk did not exist in 2017 that fw did not hit the streets until late 2018/early 2019 so you were using the wrong fw likely wh16ns40 1.02 Yeah that could very well be. It's been a long time ago ...

That guide is terribly confusing! Where even is the flasher anymore? I'm sorry, but that thread is a mess. Regardless, version 1.02 is where all my problems began. So far so good though with v1.05. But now I have 3 drives to test with so I'll get some statistical facts pretty quickly. i mean your 3...

I didn't keep a log. I am just an end user, so why would I?? Could you please PM me the 100 discs that you stress tested my drive with? I am fairly skeptical there were many regular 1080p BD discs used! Which firmware version are you running in which drive/s? I just ripped Pacific Rim Uprising 4K i...

out of the box means it works for 4k without flashing in stock form that misleads people thinking they can buy that drive and rip 4k without flashing. Oh I see what you mean. Yes the dive definitely needs to be flashed to read 4K disks. I think I had to flash my other two drives just to rip bluray'...

To do 4k you need to do a few song and dance please don't mislead people What people were mislead? My new drive worked right outta the box, I don't recall my other two drives working so effortlessly. And yeah I had flash the drive to read 4K, but there were no issues just as I expected. I didn't mi...

This is interesting. My 2 BD drives are fine for BD rips. But my LG UH12NS40 flashed to WH16NS60 works about 50% of the time for UHD rips. It usually spits out "logical unit not ready, timeouts, and read errors. I'm looking to get a better quality drive. Out of the 3 units below, can anyone re...

Lol the cheers thing, I had no idea it would be that big hahaha!

I don't have a Pioneer anything, I only have LG drives with a new one on the way. And I only have a new LG drive on order to test and prove if my well used equipment is or is not the problem I've been having. And the only reason I even suspect that is because twice now I have one drive that would copy and the other would not. They are identical drives, but one has a lot less mileage on it than the other. Also, placing a problem disk in the refrigerator for 10 min also made a difference. I personally think I'm getting bad media. But I'm about to test and prove it once and for all.

When I have 3 drives and one plays while the other 2 don't, that will tell me something for sure. When I have 3 drives and the disk still fails to work in all of them, well, that tells me something too.

Cheers 🍻

This is 'exactly' the information I'm looking for from 'experienced' users, thank you audiom3! Like you I have 1k's plus of ripped media experience, had Asus then LG. Currently running two LG WH14NS40, and just purchased the LG WH16NS40. I've had really good luck with the LG's, but here just recentl...

I ask you which do you prefer and why: ISO the complete disk? MKV split into pieces and parts? Don't hate me, but I've been using AnyDVD for 'decades', mostly because I can copy an entire disk to an ISO. If this has already been bled to death elsewhere, just point me to where please. Thanks in advan...

Ooooh... Okay, that spells out a lot for me then.

So the drive that I already had, the one I really want to own (BDR-S13UBK), it will be supported by software regardless of firmware? Just gotta wait for it?

Thanks

yes but it will likely be months

Cool. Thank you for being honest!
