An old thread, I know, but I just started to covert my 3D BD’s with above mentioned method and I’m not sure I’m doing it correctly as the final output file is a third from the original mkv (from 15.6GB to 5.1GB

Can you guys confirm this? If not, my settings must be somehow wrong - I didn’t change ...

The Drives Guide, linked above, is kept up to date by the folks who know the most about drive firmware. That guide says:


It doesn't say anything about 1.00 or 1.04. The guide is detailed and informative.


There's no 1.03-file anymore in the newest pack, only 1.04 - tried it now and it ...

This is a reasonable example for flashing a drive on a Mac: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=23129

The Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021 ( https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634 ) suggests putting BU40N drives on 1.03MK. Others on this forum know ...

Hi all

Help me before I will brick my drive:

My drive is following:
Pierre-Maries-MacBook-Pro:MacOS pmheller$ ./makemkvcon f --list
Found 1 drives(s)
00: /IOBDServices/11B1380F
HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BU40N_1.01_211910161032_MO5KCTF2216

I have the HT-DT-ST folder in "Downloads"

So which syntax/file is ...

You forgot to include the command line you used to try & flash the drive. Copy/paste what you typed into the terminal when you tried to flash the drive. You probably left off a "./" at the beginning, which indicates the sdftool is in your current directory.


Just to make sure:

My drive is ...

You need to provide the full command line you attempted to use. You probably left the path off the command line. Where is the sdftool located (on a Mac, it's normally in the MakeMKV app, located in /Applications)? Where do you have MakeMKV installed? What is your current directory (type `pwd ...

I cannot seem to make the sdftool to work - tried the same syntax as you but I only get:

-bash: sdftool: command not found

What is wrong? Do you have perhaps a 101-instruction? ;) Or is there an interface in the meantime to flash with MacOS?

Yes, just saw MIke's post about those Samsung drives and mine seems not supported and probably never will be:
So one wonders why it still says "Possible, not yet enabled" in makemkv...

Thanks for this fine "how-to-do"

My problem is only, that my drive is not in the patch list, even if is has the status "possible, not yet enabled" in makemkv:
Can anybody help me here?

I already sent in a dump of the firmware. So if you need a drive working now with UHDs, better go with the Asus.
Update: with the new 1.46 release MakeMKV starts to read an UHD but then says that a libre-compatible drive is needed...

Do you get a "keep fingers crossed" status on the right ...

I have to reactivate this thread as I'm also stuck with this issues - my goal is to play those 3D-mkv's with vlc or Infuse on an Apple TV (with my Samsung 3D TV). Blu rays are fine but I prefer having everything on my NAS.

So now I started to make .mkv files WITH the MVC 3D track - but I don't ...
