Re: My Asus drive doesn't want to backup anymore

I don't have much experience with cleaning discs like that. In theory I agree. :) I've only seen Billycar11 suggest the Q-tip and isopropyl alcohol method. Both of you have way more hands-on experience with optical drives than me. To my friends, I'm the weirdo with 5 optical drives in 2025 but that...

Re: My Asus drive doesn't want to backup anymore

A CD cleaning disc does this w/o taking the drive apart.

Re: New Asus BW-16D1HT: MakeMKV 1.18.2 stuck at Scanning CD-ROM devices, 1.17.7 crashes

I have been using MakeMKV without any issues for years with my old Lite-On blu-ray drive, and more recently on Linux (Mint). Last week, I purchased a new BW-16D1HT on Amazon, since it was recommended on the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2025 page. Now, when launching MakeMKV, it hangs ...

Re: Pioneer BDR-S09XLT LibreDrive ready but not ripping UHD-discs

Considering the current lack of availability of UHD-compatible drives on the market, would this ASUS drive I have knocking around able to read UHD discs with some help?

Re: Pioneer BDR-UD03 UHD possibility

Just got a Verbatim 43890 from the store and tried it tonight for DVD/BD. Has the Pioneer BDR-UD03 in it surprisingly, so it must've been sitting there for some time. Based on the box I think it's from 23JULY. Can I get the firmware file to flash as UD04 for UHD support? Here's the output from Make...

Re: Asus BW-16D1X-U

Hello All, I have been reading and scrolled through allot posts, and other pages previously with provided links and this is rather confusing. So figured I just ask the question and provide the details as I know this mkv info is a bit different than others. Seems I have a Pioneer versus an LG or wha...

The information I posted above does not change after any of the steps. The only difference is there is no longer a line item that says "Highest AACS version: 82" after bus encryhption flags.
You can't be helped with your attitude.

Re: BP50NB40

That was "in a hurry" to be respectful of the MartyMcNuts' time. I didn't blow through it all like that when I did it. Either way, the end result is the same. I have tried it resetting the drive each time like you've said, and I'm still in the same place. Post the Makemkv result after eac...

Re: BP50NB40

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8xb2dB4j_Q So? You should always reset the drive after a flash process. Disconnect USB and power. Reconnect. Check Makemkv info if the drive is Libredrive enabled after flashing MK firmware. Then start the recovery process. Disconnect USB and power. Reconnect. Check...

Re: BP50NB40

Yeah, I do that. I pick the drive, then the 1.03 firmware that it is on, then I pick the 1.00 to write. It successfully writes, and I startup MakeMKV and nothing has changed. No. It's a 2 step process. First do a normal flash to BP50NB40 1.03. It will flash the MK firmware and enables Libredrive. A...
