Greetings, and sorry in advance if this is another instance of the same question being asked again. I took a trip to Japan and bought some blu-rays while over there. So far, I've ripped most of them no problem. Now, I'm trying to rip discs that came in a boxset. Disc 1 didn't rip. Fine, I've had th...

Stock levels updated in first post.

These are not scratches, the discs play normally in my blu-ray player, one is even brand new, these patterns are from factory and are instantly ‘failed’ when trying to open on PC/MakeMKV, you may never have seen them before, they are pretty rare..

Thank you for clarifying that part! i was successful with flashing it! :D :D are there any advantages to one firmware or the other for the cross flash? If you choose BU40N 1.00 firmware, you can also then use other ripping software for UHD discs if you want to. Oh thats definitely is a good option ...

Hi there, i am new to the forum, just starting in the hobby. I purchased a used drive, it was supposed to be a WP50NB40, but i received a 2017 BP50NB40 I thought the WP model was supposed to be easier to flash but not sure if that really matters. Since its already on a 1.01 firmware, do i still nee...
