Hello All I've got a BU40N which gives me reset issues on my laptop. Both under Linux and Windows. I'm told this may be caused by power issues. As I use a laptop and an USB 3 enclosure, I wonder what else I can do to augment the power available to the drive. So do any of you know of an enclosure whi...

Hello,
IMHO, the disc is somewhat dead.
It is not read in the reader of my sister in law (LG something) nor in the Pioneer reader in the set top box attached to my TV, and not in the BU40N of my laptop...

Well my Blu-Ray player *also* refuses to read the disc.
Tonight, I'll go to my sister in law and see if her Blu-Ray player is doing better....
Thanks anyway.

Hello All ! I've a blu ray disc "Blue Ruin" a film by Jeremy Saulnier which can't be read by either a plain Blu Ray player, or my laptop with a BU-40N and MakeMKV 1.17.2 or VLC. My file manager sees some content of the disc : https://i19.servimg.com/u/f19/17/79/70/72/captur32.png MakeMkv r...

Hello, I hope you know some basics : 1) how to open a terminal 2) how to run a command as "The super User" or "root" account for your flavor of Linux. If yes to the above questions, then :*Open a terminal, become root, then issue this command : find / -name "libmmbd*" -...

Did it but no joy : # makemkvcon f -d /dev/sr0 -f sdf.bin rawflash main -i dump_full_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BU40N_A100_211701021159_XXXXXXXXX.bin Reading input file dump_full_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BU40N_A100_211701021159_XXXXXXXXX.bin Flashing flags = 0x0 : 0 0 0 0 : ---- ---- ---- ---- Current Drive ID: HL-DT-ST_...

Hello ! I own a BU40N which came with "A103" firmware. As I could not back up the firmware present on the drive (I got a 70kb tar file instead of the expected 2Mb binary) , I suspected the HL-DT-ST firmware was encoded. In order to turn LibreDrive on, I flashed it with the 1.03 firmware us...

Hello, I was dragging my feet for the firmware update. As a long time Unix system Engineer, I know it takes two to make a bug or a fault. So I though that if the drive is doing fine into Windows 11 OS, it was not 100% it's fault. So I dig deeper in your forum and in the Linux part of it. And I found...

Hello MartyMcNuts, I've used this command : "sdftool -d /dev/sr0 dump full" to dump the firmware from the drive and I've got a 2MB file. And I've got "dump_full_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_BU40N_A100_211701021159_KZDH1DC1211.bin" file... For what I was able to look into this file, it looks li...

Thank you for your answer, but I would like to narrow the issue as far as I can and report it back to the Ubuntu people. So I would like if I can to change the firmware of the drive to check if it is firmware+Ubuntu or firmware alone. * What puzzle me is that when I tried a "plain" DVD dri...

Hello, I remembered that I had a Windows sitting on a part of the NVME card in the laptop. So I fired that Windows 11 up and, bingo ! The Apollo 13 DVD opened up and play fine in MakeMkv... (and in VLC for that matter). So I rebooted in Ubuntu just to see that the DVD is showing . It seems that once...

Thank you for your answer. I do not think there is a power problem. For two reasons : 1) the drive is plugged in USB-C port on the laptop ---> do not work. 2) the drive is plugged using USB-C cable to a Thunderbolt hub powered with a 90W box ---> do not work. This same setup can read and write anyth...

Hello Guys, I've got a BU40N drive with original firmware A100 in it. IT is into an external enclosure with an ASM105X interface chip. IT is perfectly recognized in my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS laptop : Aug 3 17:35:14 kernel: [36400.872323] pktcdvd: pktcdvd0: writer unmapped Aug 3 17:35:42 kernel: [36428.948...

Thank you for your answer.
I'll stick with the computer to read this kind of files.
Have a nice and bright day !

Hello All, I've a lot of m2ts files my set top box generate when tapping a TV channel. I would like to save some of them into a physical DVD in native DVD format in order to archive and play them. I can't devise a way to do this. So I'll thought asking you is the way to go as you're the experts. Man...
