Re: 2nd drive alongside Pioneer BDR-XD08TB - should I buy an LG BU40N, or an I-O DATA BDR-S16QZ/HA?

This is much too much to read. Hopefully this is more concise: Will LibreDrive firmware degrade performance when ripping CDs, or when writing discs of any kind? Will installing official updated firmware, provided by the drive vendor, improve performance when ripping CDs, or when writing discs of an...

Post the Makemkv info of your drives. I don't currently own the LG BU40N or the I-O DATA BDR-S16QZ/HA, so I can't post the MakeMKV drive info for those. I do own the Pioneer BDR-XD08TB; here's its MakeMKV drive info: Drive Information OS device name: /dev/sr0 Manufacturer: PIONEER Product: BD-RW BD...

Let's put it this way. Pioneer are the superior readers and writers. If you need to write to a disc, use the Pioneer. Pretty much any other "brand name" drive will be fine for ripping CD/DVD/BD discs and the next best drive that isn't a Pioneer would be the LG BU40N. Don't even look at th...

Are you using the Flathub package of MakeMKV? (Note that if you installed MakeMKV via Linux Mint's Software ...
