Also, you've probably figured this out on your own already, but make sure there is no disc in the drive and the tray is closed before flashing. Power cycle the drive after you're done flashing.

"DE" firmware This is an official firmware image with a single byte changed, so this firmware can be flashed over the latest firmware. The changed byte enables firmware downgrade. No other changes are made to firmware image. This is a good option to downgrade a firmware and get back the f...

Apologies for being late. Please download this file and place it inside your MakeMKV config folder : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fgpDK4IAqenuIZth0L5qJAJhyVPsF8vJ/view?usp=sharing This is a basic DTS to AC3 profile. I tested it on the Blu-ray menu video of Kaamelott Volet 2 Partie 1 and it worke...

I haven't tried it, but according to Hitachi-LG, you can burn 128GB quad-layer discs with it. These are probably very hard to find nowadays though, but you can still find 100GB BDXL discs fairly easily.

The problem with the situation here is not so much that MakeMKV might be tampered. Rather it is that the we have no idea what the "extra layer" might contain, e.g. something that trigger / leverage a loophole or so in gzip or tar. (Of course it is not very likely for it to be malicious or...

Both .tar.gz files for Linux are correct, but mis-packaged. Do the following: $ wget https://www.makemkv.com/download/makemkv-bin-1.18.3.tar.gz $ gunzip makemkv-bin-1.18.3.tar.gz $ mv makemkv-bin-1.18.3.tar makemkv-bin-1.18.3.tgz $ sha256sum makemkv-bin-1.18.3.tgz and you should get: c1ee720ae91b27...

Please note that the LG HLDS BU40N.ARAA10B plug-in USB-C port can be moved to the USB-C port. Please note that only 1 meter of cable can be used on the PC computer. From the 1-meter USB C cable to the USB C cable, the LG HLDS BU40N.ARAA10B can be connected to the PC and cannot be used for UHD 4K fi...

Personally, I don't recommend "direct disc playback" because it puts unnecessary wear-and-tear on your drive. Is this true even if you plan on watching a Blu-ray movie only once ? Could anyone please clarify this ? It would take forever to make a backup copy of each disc from my Walking D...

Congratulations ! LibreDrive is now enabled and your drive can now read UHDs as well.

I connected the burner to the USB-C port on the back of my computer. It's red on the Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Z790 EAGLE AX, because I heard that the LG BU40N burner requires a stable connection and power when ripping 4K UHD Blu-rays. Did I do the right thing? I will let someone with more expe...

But that will not output a valid firmware file to already flashed drive? Attempting to dump the firmware of a brand new BU40N with 1.05 firmware would not create a full, "flashable" firmware file (if I remember correctly, it's because the firmware is encrypted). Have a look at the makemkv...

Late to the party but :

This is what you're looking for :

is the official LG firmware update guide.

Not sure if I want to risk it with the .exe. The link I posted is the download link I found on the official LG website (see for yourself here : https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-BU40N - then click on "Manuals & Software" if you want a proof that this is the official download li...

( if you believe that might not be true I am happy to try other things ) Get two clean microfiber cloths. The first one should be slightly damp (I usually use distilled water just to be on the safe side), with this one you should clean the disc you want to put into the drive. Make sure the second o...
