Thanks for that. I have two Panasonic recorders and I checked the discs that I had previously just written and could read and yes, they were AACSv81. It seems as if one of my two (supposedly identical) BD recorders has updated itself to AACS 82 and they were the discs I could not decrypt. Incredibl...

I may be smooth braining it over here, but the program for me isn't finalizing the download for me. It continues to download "Downloading latest SDF to C:\Users\halst.DESKTOP-OA8A8RA/.MakeMKV ..." as the message. And my drive isn't reading discs. Drive Information OS device name: E: Manuf...

Hello, Sorry if this is an obvious question but just want to make sure I do this right the first time and avoid making a "it's all gone wrong" thread. I've been following the guide and am about to flash my LG BH16NS55 to "HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02" (full file name "HL-DT...

My XD08U and XS07U are now working! Thanks Mike!! My XD07U, however, is still not enabled. I emailed the firmware to support@makemkv.com yesterday.

Hello, I recently got this drive. Is this able to be flashed? Or does it need to be? I was also getting the following error upon opening MakeMKV - Automatic SDF downloading is disabled or failed.

So I think I got the same drive. I ordered the buffalo drive as a replacement for an old one that bit the dust. Here is what makemkv says is drive status: Drive Information OS device name: /dev/sr0 Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST Product: BD-RE BH16NS58 Revision: 1.02 Serial number: KLZK65B5845 Firmware dat...

Looking at other recent posts, these drives seem to be failing pretty often. I've had mine since February, it is the LG BU40N variant. Building a media library, probably 300-400 each DVD and BD with maybe 20 UHD. Just today it started clicking and giving "no disk" in MakeMKV. Has anyone &...

I'm a bit confused about what I'm supposed to do about getting the update to work. I don't see anywhere to paste the text block from the first post. I'm on a Mac. You don't. You update to the latest sdf version. I have no idea how this works on Mac but on Windows, you download it and put it in the ...

This is the first time I have seen this error. The Disc is a BD-R recorded on a Panasonic BMR-DWT740. I got the same error on two computers with different drives. What is really strange is that I decrypted three discs at the weekend from the same recorder but a disc made today did not work! Any sug...

This new SDF, once working, still doesn't make a drive read UHD, right?

Not unless you have a UHD model.

Billy, can you provide model #'s that will soon be available? I'd prefer an internal, but will be happy with an external drive as well. Thanks for everything.

I believe he only has the external XD08's.

One related question, does anyone have 1.05fw please? No, but you can download the original LG BU40N 1.05 flasher from here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-BU40N.AVAA10B?tab=1 If it won't get the drive out of boot mode, you could try using the old Modified ASUS flasher ( https://forum.mak...
