...On average and with an original blu ray in the drive, the size of the file is approx 49gb's for all the movies I've looked at through MakeMkv so the need for a 50gb minimum disc to burn a complete blu ray would be needed...
As the original post was dealing with DVDs, rather than BluRay, this ...

I understand the developer wants to prevent people from freeloading by using an old free BETA version forever, but there must be a better way to prevent freeloading...For example, BETA versions of the app could additionally (after BETA key expiration) check multiple services...If at least one ...

Have you some more Infos about this:
(in particular the firmware update flag f and the --all-yes options aren't listed) Please see the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide thread for more on these options.

In addition, when you run the makemkv GUI (or its 64-bit equivalent) it will start makemkvcon ...

When I look at the possible values, it looks a lot like Byte Number 4...of the AACS Feature Descriptor defined in this AACS standard : https://aacsla.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/AACS_Spec_Common_Final_0953.pdf (see page #52, on my computer the actual page number is 65) Thanks for the info - and ...

I have ordered another drive from the states:... Well, this drive may have a separate power lead (though one review mentions not getting this), but another review mentions it being based on a Panasonic UJ-120 (discussed here ) which suggests you are going to end up returning this too, if 4K or ...

Here is a copy I made of that page a few weeks ago - unfortunately it does not list all options (in particular the firmware update flag f and the --all-yes options aren't listed) but this should hopefully suffice till the webpage is working again.

Issue is the Alias discs....So, either I have to get both copies from our library system, or just spend $18 for a fresh copy of Alias, because we bought this set and never opened it back in 2006. :(
Thanks for the update - annoying to have unused discs fail, but at least you've got the others ...

An interesting reversal on the situation that others have reported here - any idea if it uses a dual lens or not? (if so, it could be the switching mechanism).

I would like to request a method for users to be able to download / import the hashed key files manually so they don't have to make the program go online itself. Seconded - I use MakeMKV on an offline system so any connectivity requirement is a no-go.

There’s a specific reason MakeMKV doesn't ...

See the LibreDrive and Encryption? thread for more details.

A DVD drive can offer features not present in BluRay players - I've not come across any BluRays offering LightScribe for example.

I would like to ask anyone with experience here, what exactly they mean by Blu-Ray lasers "wearing out"? The very earliest LaserDisc players had gas-powered lasers which ...

Really thought there would have been someone who would have commented on the Pioneer drives or suggestions with fighting these issues. That's because you've not given anyone detailed information on what the problem is - what error messages you are receiving, what your drive setup is, etc.

Thanks for posting the information requested. Yet I was able to rip a different Blu-ray just before this one. That, in itself, would suggest a disc rather than drive problem and given the age of the disc listed, Tomty89's observation seems spot on.

If you were running a Windows system, then ...

Please post a copy of the information MakeMKV lists about your drive.

Recently flashed an LG BD-RE WH16NS58 drive to WH16NS60_1.02_MK without incident - thanks to those here who provided the tools, firmware and instructions.

However I did notice another benefit aside from LibreDrive. When I first installed the LG drive, I noticed immediately how much slower system ...
