Appreciate the suggestion MartyMcNuts, Cleaning with a qtip and alcohol has been a big improvement. In windows I can now watch several Bluray disks via VLC and I'm tetsing extracting tracks with MakeMKV. However, in the dedicated Linux box it just stalls 04-18-2026 23:37:53 ARM: INFO: *************...

Yes, I am familiar with UHD (I have a WH16NS60 that I have previously flashed to read UHDs). I think I misunderstood some posts I had read and thought that Pioneer drives did not need to be flashed to a LibreDrive firmware. Clearly I was wrong and stupid. :) Thanks again for answering my dumb quest...

Hello I'm looking to flash my drive so I can rip UHD discs, can anyone help?

So the trick was to only flash DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK.bin and everything worked, no more no less, it's a bit hard to understand sometimes in this forum, what you should actually do, and the guide can be a bit misleading i think. And what about the HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.04-NM00500-212005061142.bin tha...

Hi all. So I'm new to UHD ripping so this might be an asked / silly question. So I couldn't decrypt a disc and got the volume key unknown error. I think it could be just that I'm geoblocked from host of the HK file. However, after I downloaded keydb.cfg from http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/ and plac...

Not really sure if it's related but my brand new ASUS BC-12D2HT wasn't able to rip a regular blu-ray on Linux (MakeMKV 1.18.3) until I flashed it with MK firmware. (I don't remember what was the exact response but I think MakeMKV just sort of hang/loop indefinitely when attempt to "parse"...

I have two Blueray Drives, A very old Hp DVDWBD TS-LB23L drive and a new HL-DT-ST BD-RE BU50N drive. I had inconsistent results on the HL-DT-ST Product: BD-RE BU50N until I loaded the libredrive firmware, but now that drive rips great. I'm trying to locate the correct firmware for the Hp DVDWBD TS-...

I am a total noob at this so forgive me if the answer is obvious. I have spent a few hours trying to figure it out on my own with no luck. I keep seeing this error makeMKV.jpg . This is a newly flashed drive. Steps taken thus far 1) After flash, restarted computer (now said LibreDrive) 2) Added KEY...

Stock levels updated in first post. All Pioneer branded drives are now gone! There will be no more. I do still have some Verbatim 43887's with the Pioneer BDR-UD03 cross-flashed to BDR-UD04 firmware for UHD compatibility available. I have one Verbatim 43889 with the LG BU40N available. I will contin...

Hi all, Hoping someone can help me recover my drive. I've been trying to flash my ASUS BW-16D1HT (firmware 1.01) to 3.10MK on Linux (Pi OS aarch64) using makemkvcon 1.18.3. I ran the following command which completed successfully (both "Sending flash image" and "Programming flash&quo...

Hey Everyone, I've been an on and off user of MakeMKV for several years now, but I figured it's time to go 4K. In order to be able to rip UHD disks, I got my hands on a Verbatim 43888 drive which has an LG-DT-ST BU40N drive with firmware 1.05. (Who still remembers that company being called Goldstar...

Can this really be a drive from LG? The front looks exactly like an Asus BW-16D1HT. Does Asus sometimes slap the faceplate of an Asus BW-16D1HT onto drives from other manufacturers and sell them as Asus drives? IMG_8861.jpg IMG_8855.jpg As mentioned, ASUS do not make drives. They are OEM, mostly fr...
