Re: MakeMKV, just BUY it already.....

I purchased a key a few weeks ago, paid with PayPal. My PayPal email receipt came with the Key, so, it was practically instant. I have a PC and a Mac. The key worked on both.This pretty much tells me it will work on a new or changed computer when the time comes. If you backup your discs, the program...

Pioneer BDR-S13UBK vs LG WH16NS40

I purchased a Pioneer BDR-213/2213 SATA 5.25 SATA with BDR-S13UBK Firmware from Billycar11 in March of this year. I also purchased an LG Electronics WH16NS40 drive from Amazon and flashed it myself. I had an ASUS drive prior for a few years that finally crapped out. Anyway, I've been using both the ...

Re: The Martian - 4k rip fails

Tom: What do you use to view the mkv file? I'm on a Mac so it won't directly help me but I'm curious at this point. Thanks. The MKV file is stored on my unRaid server. For a player I use a Zidoo Z9S (this player seems to play anything I throw at it) Fed through a Denon X4400H Then to a JVC RS1000 4...

Re: The Martian - 4k rip fails

What are you using to convert the .mkv file once you get it? I was able to rip my 4K Martian with no problem, but didn't get any forced burn subtitles. I am using Mac X Video Pro Converter to move from the mkv to an mp4 file. Some 4K movies convert OK, some don't. I don't think makeMKV is the issue...

Re: The Martian - 4k rip fails

My replacement disc came today and it ripped fine. So, the first one was bad, although looking at it, it looked perfect.

The Martian - 4k rip fails

I just bought The Martian 4K. I get about 3/4 way through ripping it and it fails. I'm getting a replacement today to try, although it's coming from the same place, Amazon. I'm using an Asus BW-16D1HT with MK 3.10 firmware. MakeMKV v1.14.7 {win(x64-release)}. All this is less than a month old, rippe...

Re: Close encounters of the third kind 40th anniversary UHD

No error messages at all. It try's to read it for about a minute or two and then just says "no disc inserted"

Re: Close encounters of the third kind 40th anniversary UHD

I just bought the disk today, my Asus BW-16D1HT with LibreDrive enabled firmware MK 3.10 won't read it. Anyone have luck yet? maybe another firmware?

Re: NEW OPTION: 'UHD Friendly' Firmware Downgrade / Cross-Flash Using Official (Modified) ASUS Flasher for ASUS & LG Dri

Pick the patched ASUS flasher and flash 3.10 MK. If you have critical discs to read you can always flash 3.02 or 3.03. And then even back to 3.10. No problem. For normal purposes there is no limit for flasing back and forth. However, cycles for flash cells are limited. But you don't do that a coupl...
