Well, I'm just glad that I'm not one of the people who've purchased from you, they are way overpriced. Only non-tech savy person don't know how easy it is, why spend the extra cash to you when they can DIY. It doesn't take any effort to downgrade the FW. Save your money folks, follow the instructions previously posted.... it's really not that hard to follow. Looks like you're afraid of losing business selling those burners you've accumulated (hoarded) with downgraded/crossflashed firmwares from someone using this utility and selling them cheaper.Has anyone been dumb enough to pay over $100 for a so called tool that gives you no additional functionality than if you were to read Teddy's instructions, that was released an hour ago? Probably not.
I hope you mean "making digital backups onto hard drive" when you say "copying original UHD discs". Original as opposed to what? LOL
Have you considered buying and using a faster drive and skipping the whole Ebay adventure?
Anyone considering paying over a hundred dollars for that tool needs to get their head examined. I'll sell you a brand new pre flashed drive for less than that. Hell the going rate for a drive flashing is $25 though I keep doing freebies.
There are 3 external drives that work with DeUHD (not sure about MakeMKV though!). They are:ripnrun wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 7:21 pmHowdy yall
I'm new to this game, kind of, at least recently.
I was going through the thread and wasn't sure if the beginning thread was still accurate and with all that I read I was hoping someone can clear something up for me.
I don't run a PC tower but a laptop, therefore I wouldn't normally go after an internal. I know there are ways to adapt things but was wondering if there are external USB drives that can read UHD.
I apologize if I missed anything, just want to be sure before I take the plunge and have a turd on my hands.
What do you guys think? Thank you for all of the help in advance
Well you guys are the experts. Can you hook me up with a model of both? I'd like to stay in this community so I should go internal with enclosure.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 10:25 pmThere are 3 external drives that work with DeUHD (not sure about MakeMKV though!).

They are quite expensive though. You could buy an internal drive and a USB enclosure to make it external for less than the cost of an actual external.
Yep getting an internal 5.25 blu-ray drive and install it in an external enclosure, either the Vantec or OWC brand would be good. Best the drive has its own power supply not dependent on the computer. There are members in this community who gladly provide their services on 4K UHD Friendly Drives with the correct Firmware and you can reach out to them belowripnrun wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 11:11 pm

You guys were by far and away the most prevalent that I could find and most recommended at that.
Thank you again for the assistance your knowledge is much appreciated.
Sir I can hook you up with genuine articles of either of the LGs you listed. And/or build you the equivalent for much less.ripnrun wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 11:11 pmWell you guys are the experts.

So just to make sure I understand correctly. I get an internal, put it in enclosure, connect via usb, don't update firmware, and I should be good? If there is a weird firmware then I flash to something different?
I think that was what I gathered from all the reading.
Thank you again for the assistance your knowledge is much appreciated.
Once WH16NS60 and latest 1.01 firmware is able to rip UHD discs (which seems imminent), would you recommend it or the BW-16D1HT? I don't use the drive for anything other than ripping discs with MakeMKV.Billycar11 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 5:32 amLG WH14NS40 downgrade
