I trying 1.01 right now and am receiving a bit slower speeds: https://i.imgur.com/tsg7hle.png I would have tried BU40N-1.00 but I did not see it in the 'old' directory: https://i.imgur.com/Cp3RRfi.png Though it could be there.. my eyesight is very poor because of my disabilities, one of which is ca...

That is what I received on the firmware mk 1.04 (note screenshot above) ... interesting the difference between 1.03 / 1.04 There are so many variables (the disc itself, dust particles, humidity etc...) that the speed you get depends on. You would note in the Ultimate Guide 2025, 1.03-MK is recommen...

Thanks All!

Anyone have any info on the drive models that are currently being used for development? Ones that are not currently crossflashable but are being tested?

No.

Since you suggested it, I tested it 8) Interesting to note that the date specified on the firmware is 2118... Must be some active tachyon fields in the drive!

Direct UHD disc playback is not recommended for any drive as you will wear out your drive a lot faster. Because support ended long ago for my lovely Pioneer LX500 BD player I bought a second one to share DVD/BD movie playing, thereby extending their lives. But to do so further, can I USB connect an...

Here I'm posting a shared link to the dump file for the Blu-ray disc I want Keydb to support. It's probably something no one has shared yet. Also, could someone please tell me how to check if my disc's ID is already entered in Keydb, and where disc IDs are added in the first place—is it the public ...

If you notice, the START & EXIT buttons have enlarged fonts & the word START is cut off. When I click the Start button, nothing happens. Anyone experience this? Any advice would greatly be appreciated! https://i.imgur.com/27mHUdI.jpeg I don't see any responses, yet, so... is MakeMKV install...

You asked for the MakeMKV & LibreDrive info. Here is what it looks like after the flash: Drive Information OS device name: E: Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST Product: BD-RE BU40N Revision: 1.04 Serial number: 811HS013514 Firmware date: 2120-05-06 11:42 Bus encryption flags: 17 Highest AACS version: 78 L...

I attempted to flash this 'new' BU40N drive with the firmware options that I could find in the forum, each received an error. My guess is that this drive is not the same as the other 40N versions, but of course am not sure so I have included a picture as reference. Interestingly, notice in the phot...

Already emailed! The other disc in the two-disc box set opens just fine, but this one gives the "volume key unknown" message and fails to open. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O2hamkr5zgicUXT6EtNaLIsX2TRMJhjK/view?usp=drive_link Thanks in advance! The latest KeyDB already contains a reco...

Is anyone else having trouble ripping the F1 movie from this year? When I put the disk in, it spins around for about 5 minutes then says no disk. Any help?

Clean the disc before trying again.

Would anyone have a suggestion for a specific Pioneer drive model number? I have been mostly using the 5.25" drives but I can look at slim as well. I know this may be of limited usefulness to everyone, but I am going to see what I can do anyway. Thanks all! Well, there really aren't any curren...

I've got to admit that I've re-read the flashing guide yet again. I must be blind or just plain ignornt, but I still haven't seen the connection between my Asus-branded drive and the LG firmware. (Probably just ignornt!😎)

You were absolutely correct though. I flashed the drive with the firmware you said to without encountering a single hiccup.

I'm currently ripping my first UHD Blu-Ray disk with it; even as I'm writing this. It's looking like the 50-some GB rip will take around 40 minutes total. Right in line with the speed testing results in the flashing guide, I'd say!

Thank goodness you guys understand all of this so well! Thank you for your very helpful reply.

ASUS don't make drives. The BW-16 is just a rebranded LG drive.
