Get it. It works well for BD. Some day even for UHD...
thanks for confirming. hopefully UHD would be nice. I just couldn't budget for a UHD drive right now. this will hold me over as I don't rip alot of UHD.

Hello. i'm currently looking to replace a few of my LG and ASUS drives. I have used these since 2018-19 and now are making loud noises when in use that I have not heard before.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023

Now since you have flashed official firmware it should have less issues with 3-layer discs compared to the friendly firmware. These full size LG drives are almost all quite identical (besides the additional chip in official drives) but all are of quite bad quality. One of my LGs died after a year. ...

Re: The Office Season 8 Issues

I made it through all but disk 3 painstakingly. I kept spitting the disc out, ripping, then repeating with multiple attempts. I found more success selecting a single episode then ripping rather than hitting all 4-6 episodes at once, if that makes sense. Also for what it’s worth, lining the disc in ...

Re: The Office Season 8 Issues

Found a small workaround by taping the DVD side with gaffer tape, then trimming around the edges thus making the discs less transparent. So far ripping individual episodes rather than all chapters together has worked for me. My guess is that the laser is picking up too much information and confusin...
