Re: MKV Playback on windows10 pc

Disregard. I've had success with MPC-BE & MadVR following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGfffqS46pw&t=26s

HDR disabled in Windows 10, it automatically switches to HDR when the movie is loaded and full Dolby Atmos audio track.

What exactly is the point of PowerDVD these days :?

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

Just picked up an Asus BC-12D2HT but even with Firmware 3.01 I'm still getting "No disc inserted" unfortunately. Will give a firmware flash a go tomorrow and cross my fingers. Drive Information OS device name: H: Manufacturer: ASUS Product: BC-12D2HT Revision: 3.01 Firmware date: 2117-11-1...

Re: MKV Playback on windows10 pc

What player are you guys using? I was hoping to use PowerDVD as I have the '14 license but would pay for '18 if it worked better (I'm after Dolby Atmos and I don't know that other players offer bitstreaming options?). Currently I'm also getting choppy playback with an i7 4790k and GTX1070 with 16GB ...

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

Just wanted to post another semi success story (fingers crossed that it worked, but I can't test it until later today!) EDIT: ripping ZOMBI: Dawn of the Dead now 8) Thanks Dan-O I have a BH16NS40 that wasn't a CS50 version so I'll grab one of these Asus's since it looks like they're still working. ...

Re: UHD drives

haha fair enough! I suppose I was looking for the reasoning behind why the new 'official' LG drive is the new recommendation, over the Asus which everyone seems happy with it working. Is it because new Asus's likely come with 3.03 which requires you wiping and re-flashing it? Whereas the LG will be ...

Re: UHD drives

I take it the main advantage of LG support being on the horizon for the WH16NS60, and to grab one of them over an Asus BC-12D2HT is for future proofing a little? Is the idea that an 'official' drive will now be compatible with backups so any future firmware updates for new disc releases shouldn't be...

Re: UHD drives

Hmm well an LG WH16NS60 is going to set me back about $250aud from Amazon with the runaround of getting it shipped here (as Amazon won't directly ship anymore) whereas I could get an ASUS BW-16D1HT-PRO for $119 locally...

Re: UHD drives

Ah okay, thanks for the clarification Woodstock. Does this new thread "Support for LG UHD Drives" that recommends the "official UHD" LG WH16NS60 (pending it being backup-able in a few weeks time) now supersede the Asus recommendation at the beginning of this thread? https://www.m...

Re: UHD drives

Can I just confirm with others that you MUST have the SVC code NS50 for an LG BH16NS40? Is the difference that one can ready BDXL and the other can't (even though the model number is the same?). Have successfully flashed to an Asus drive and so on, but still getting 'No Disc Found' messages, so am a...
