Getting Faster Blu Ray RIPS

[swampdaddy]

I'm looking for a way to accelerate RIP times. It seems like some discs take twice as long as others. And of course if there are 100 obfuscated main titles you might choose to backup the disc as an interim step.

I use a recent iMac and the RIP speed to a network volume (over wifi) seems no slower than a local SSD. I will move that Mac to ethernet so that no other wifi traffic would be an issue. My BD Drive cam from OWC (BD-RE HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH16NS40 1.03d). MakeMKV reports: "LibreDrive firmware support is not yet available for this drive (id=76CF63BADB03)".

So, what are the typical performance degradation culprits?

BTW: I think OWC us coming out with a new drive with the WH16NS60 mechanism later this year, will I want that? Or will it likely have a RIP unfriendly firmware?

Thanks,

Robert

I got some special firmware for my Sony drive donkeys years ago - it isn't nerfed when it detects a rip like reading pattern like the default commercial one is (on purpose)
