Hi !
I would like to know why it is not possible to extract a Blu-Ray disc into an ISO file in order to save it to storage and/or write it back on a Blu-Ray writable media as one can do for a DVD disc ?
Thanks in advance for enlightening me !

Just a note that, reading DVDs, it isn't necessary to install patched firmware. The error you're getting is most likely a "bad" (dirty) sector of the disk. You really only need to change the firmware if you're going to be reading 4K UHD disks. Hello, I second this. All the errors I got re...

OK. Thank you.
Will try to find something.
HAve a nice day.

A folder.
I've a bunch of directories under it. One of them, STREAM contains a lot of .mts files some of them big.

Hi Guys, I'm posting here because I do not know where to ask. I've a Blu-ray I love a lot and the disc id dying (a lot of medium errors in a computer drive and seizures in a "plain" player). Fortunately I've made a backup with Make MKV so I've got all the files I need. As the size is less ...

Hello, As far as I can tell, MakeMKV does not name drives by itself. It takes the names given by the underlying OS. And the Linux kernel name the first DETECTED drive as /dev/sr0, the next detected one gets /dev/sr1, and so on. Modifying this behaviour to ensure that each drive is and stay the same ...

Hello Guys, On my Ubuntu laptop, I often read Blu Ray discs I get from the library. Fine. More and more apps are transitioning from .deb packages to snap. So I fear at some point they would remove the deb version entirely. I'm wondering if we will still be able to play Blu Ray discs using VLC as a s...

Hello, IMHO, replacing the whole PCB is not a good solution. The old one has a memory in it (where the firmware is stored, amongst other things) and these information may pertain precisely to the mechanical part of the drive. Obviously, the other board from the other drive may not be so tuned to the...

Hello Asmcom, Are the prices in the first post of this thread current ? And do you have stock to sell ? My BU40N is starting to misbehave and I suspect it is dying. So I would have to buy a replacement.... And better to buy from someone knowing what it is selling and with a warranty it will work wit...

Well, I used ispopropyl alcohol very pure I have for other uses. No joy. Same behaviour.
Drive is dead, IMHO.

OK. How should I clean it ? It bother me to dump a drive which could be running.

Well, I ran the drive with cover off. The laser pickup light up. Fierce. So maybe it is out of alignment but I don't think failing.

Hello Guys, I've got a set of CD/DVD burners from old Mac laptops. I've one which has a strange behaviour. It is a Sony Optiarc AD-5870H-P7, a slot in drive. When I insert a disc, be it a CD or a DVD, it start spinning it, the LED lit, moves back and forth, the discs stop, then start again and then ...

Hello, A friend of mine had an old high end laptop with a BD combo drive in it. The laptop is old and beyond repair. But the drive is fine. It is a Philips & Lite-on Digital Solutions Corporation DS-4E1S (it is a 12.7 mm thick SATA one). What use could it have ? Thanks in advance for your answer...

I've done this on the only USB-C my laptop has and the behaviour is the same (I used a small USB-C to USB -3 mechanical adapter). I would like to check if the drive is at fault or if the computer has the spec adhered to or not. Less and less people use optical drives these days so maybe laptop manuf...
