Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives
Enclosed disc is probably just a CD-ROM or maybe a DVD-ROM. So different laser is used to read those older format discs. Your drive may have a faulty blue laser, which is used for BD discs.

Re: Converting UHD BD dvhe.07 to dvhe.08 with dovi_tool
I think I haven't seen any discussion about reversing this process? Does it make any sense? Is it possible to convert dvhe.08 source back to UHD BD compatible dvhe.07 (Profile 7 MEL)?

Re: MLP codec is not standard for BD disks
On BD format TrueHD audio must include legacy core ac3. It is mandatory! Typically backup softwares e.g. MakeMKV remove this core part when matroska is chosen output format as it is considered redundant. Use eac3to source.thd target.thd+ac3 A core part will be re-encoded and interleaved to existing ...

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives
Great job re: Pioneer LibreDrive support! Are Asus branded drives (Pioneer clones listed in the first post) as good burners as "real" Pioneer drives. I'm planning to get one of these drives mainly due to amazing BD50 burning capabilities. For example these, which I could easily purchase fr...

Re: Star Trek: Wrath of Khan correct playlist
That particular release contains both the theatrical and director's cut versions of the film. That is the reason for two playlist :mrgreen: . I have to chime in here: that doesn't seem right. This is the UHD section. I don't think both versions are on the UHD. Please correct me if I am wrong. Both ...

Re: Playing UHD discs directly via libmmbd
Thanks alot for excellent tip Chewi! I tried again with MPC-HC and this time used its "Open DVD/BD" functionality. Now it works, even for UHD BD. Of course MPC-HC cannot do full menus but it allows easily to check certain playlists/titles containing the actual feature. Actually very nice ...

Re: Playing UHD discs directly via libmmbd
How is libmmbd decrypting supposed to work? I read instructions and one thread here where it was stated "it just works" when it's enabled. I have understood that is supposed to work in the background on-the-fly? I have enabled settings in the configuration page of makeMKV. Both win system ...

Re: Mass Disc Defects Anecdote
Long story short is seems there are some major issues with discs being made now. A big bummer as dealing with mass returns is just another reason for retailers to shop carrying physical media I think these bad discs are almost always triple decker BD100 discs, which are pretty common now. Quality o...
