Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023

If you get read errors try cleaning your discs! This does solve the issue 99% of the time, They're pristine. If there's ever anything on them, I gently wipe them with a clean microfiber cloth then blow any residual dust off with canned air. Most UHD discs have an invisible to the naked eye film on ...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023

A word of advice to those trying out this system to get their 4k discs to work: Don't buy the LG WH60NS40 drives. They're absolute junk. I bought two at the local big box store and brought them home, thinking It's best to have a spare, just in case. They both had 1.05 encrypted firmware installed. ...

Re: Intel drops Windows SGX

I find it very interesting how publishers have taken over the BD UHD market. I can not find any BD-R UHD blank discs from any of the popular retail stores. Most UHD disc (66GB) contain more data than will fit on a 50GB BD-R DL disc. This means that a BD-R XL (100GB) disc is often required, which is...

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

hi, After cleaning the disc the scsi errors are gone. But the disc could not be read. After a reboot and some retries it works now. :) Then i tried the next uhd disc (Eternals) and I got the following error: MakeMKV v1.17.2 linux(x64-release) started Using LibreDrive mode (v01.0 id=489CDFD6D392) Us...

Re: Intel drops Windows SGX

I can not access a UHD disc in a BD drive either by using Cyberlink PowerDVD 22 or MakeMKV 1.17.2 on Windows 11. I was informed by Intel via a trouble ticket: "Intel has deprecated the Intel SGX feature from 11th gen and newer CPUs. Blu-ray disks require the use of Intel SGX because of the Dig...

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

Hi guys, at the moment I'm using a Verbatim 4K BD RW (Pioneer BDR-UD04). I tried to backup with the latest MakeMKv version the UHD "last action hero". But I got SCSI errors :( The sdftool tells me: sdftool -d /dev/sr1 --info SDF.bin version: 0x0090 Drive Tool SDF present Drive Specific SD...

Re: just lost entire tv/movie library, questions..

Is it always faster for rips, to plug the drive into a separate powered USB? E.g. for the Archigon, it has a two-headed cable, one for data, the other for power which is optional. With your Archgon, that is not optional. You should always connect both USB-A ends, otherwise you run the risk of the d...

Re: Is there any way to automate MakeMKV?

So for example, if I insert a DVD while MakeMKV is open, it would just automatically start ripping it to a subfolder in my default folder. Bonus points if it could do it for multiple drives on my computer, I know MakeMKV is basically only designed for computers with one drive. As Woodstock mentione...

Hi All,

I have a BW-12b1st manufactured in May 2013 with version 1.00. When I try to burn anything using Nero it just spits the disc out and errors. Is there any firmware I can cross flash this with? I had this drive lying around and never used it until today.

Thanks
Nope.

Hi, I am a newbie in ripping, so please excuse the lack of knowledge in model naming. My PC doesn't have a 5.25" bay. I haven't looked if there are any external enclosures, but I don't ever remember seeing those in past. So USB Bluray drive is the way, huh? Found a Pioneer BDR XD 07 TS . Is it...

Re: Optical drive is not detected

I have a 2013 BH16NS40 that I connected to my Win11 PC via an Unitek Y-3324 SATA-USB adapter that was listed as compatible in the forum guide . The drive opens/closes, does some noise with inserted disks, but there isn't anything in This PC and MakeMKV also says no optical drives are detected. When...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023

I am about to flash an LG WH16NS40 that I will receive from Amazon tomorrow. I did a lot of reading on this forum to "do it right". I know to flash it to 1.02MK WH16NS60 as the recommended option. But there are 1.03MK, 1.04MK, and 1.05MK firmwares available. Why are they available and sho...

Re: CFW for ASUS SBW-06D5H-U ?

Ok thanks for the answer. And what about what @Blackened2687 wrote about flashing this drive with a "BDR-UD03 or BDR-UD04" firmware? Still won't help you with UHD. Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I'm curious: Could anybody elaborate on why this would not help with UHD? If I ...
