Thanks, I'll give that software a try.

I have a particular disc, Spaced season 1, that when I rip it I get a 6GB .mkv file that is the entire season. There are other files which are the extras on the disc.

Is there a way to resolve it automatically?

128 pin pioneer chips

Which one is it?

Is it actually the Pioneer chip that contains the flash ROM though? I suppose at this stage they probably will have wanted to make that cost optimization, if they are making a custom driver IC.

Has anyone tried simply removing the flash chip, or flashing it in-circuit like you can with some BIOSes on computers? It's not hard to do, all the gear is on AliExpress for peanuts. Seems like a lot of otherwise locked drives could be fixed if it were possible. If I had such a drive I'd open it and...

For free UHD unlocking, PM me.

Definitely best to go direct if you can. They must be suffering right now with the tariffs. I like to support the good European companies, but for me the overriding factors are quality and the company being morally good. Unfortunately there isn't always a choice, e.g. if you want LTO the only questi...

I agree, it seems mature and stable. Honestly the main problem is that the information you need is spread over multiple threads and not very easy to find.

I would say it needs an FAQ, but there is supposed to be one, it's just not working.

Yeah, I had in mind to use mine for some other stuff so figured for the small amount extra I might as well get the USB 3 version. In the end it's only ever housed the ASUS drive. Not sure what phone support you would need, and I doubt they make the chipset in the US, it's going to be rebadged Taiwan...

Would one of these enclosures work for flashing with a WH16NS60? NexStar DX2 USB 3.0 I have this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006193051123.html Been using it with a flashed ASUS drive without issue. I got the USB 3 version and also use it for archival grade ripping of audio CDs and old ...

It's not leaked, you just ask for it. I'm sure your flasher is lovely, but I found the free one very easy to use. There's no need to keep banging that drum. The free one is pretty much foolproof. My concern is that here we have a commercial product where support is only via this forum, and when I've...

I do like forums for support in general. More so than Reddit or corporate email that takes days to answer. But also it depends on the developer making an effort, and not just hoping that the forum sorts itself out, or relying on a few people there who may or may not be helpful. And I have to say tha...

I'll get a key then. It's good software.

Thanks. Is it just you or are there others who provide support?
