Yes, but I prefer to send an optical media instead of a disk drive...

Re: Ripping is fine, but what about burning ?
Hi !
Thank you all for your help.
In Europe one can find 100G disks, quite expensive, though :

Re: Enclosure / cable recommendation for BU40N I can buy from within the EU?
Are you sure there is no power port ? I had an enclosure where the female plug was on the PCB but no holes were made in the box to let the male plug connect.... It was an easy fix. Also recent SATA/USB interface chips are better than they were. (nowadays, one chip can do every variant of SATA interf...

Re: Ripping is fine, but what about burning ?
Thank you for your answer. I'm used to burn single layers BR. Now I may need dual or triple layers, because I will need to put more stuff on them. I was worried that flashing the UHD firmware may have impaired the writing abilities... And given the current pricing of burning material, I do not want ...

Hello,
I've a DELOCK 42595 which is perfect. This exact model is not made any more but they have a replacement. They are in Germany if I'm not mistaken.

Re: I'm confused.
To confirm I've just read a Marvel Black Panter II. The backup seems fine but I'll erase it because i'm short on disk space.
Thank you for your response and have a nice day!

Re: I'm confused.
So my drives are made by Hitachi, if I understood correctly.
As per flashing, they read UHD fine and Makemkv is happy also...

I'm confused.
Hello A lot of people talk about LG BU40N. I own two drives saying they are BU40N. But they also say HL-DT-ST as the maker. And this, on the outside sticker and on the firmware. CD-ROM HL-DT-ST BD-RE BU40N A100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 So, are they LG made or else ? Thank you for your knowledge ! Have a nice d...

Re: Explain simply how to get Java menus to work
Hello Sir,
I know nothing about Flatpax, but if I'm not mistaken nothing outside the container created by the flatpack app will run, including Java. So you have to either find a way to allow Java execution from Malemkv and VLC or install MakeMkv from source by compiling it yourself...
Just my 2 ¢

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives
I did more testing. I connected the BDR-211UBK drive via SATA and LibreDrive works fine now. So leaving this post up for those who have the same problem. Really bizarre that I have three other drives (2x Pioneer, 1x Asus) that work fine in three different USB enclosures. Only this BDR-211UBK refuse...

Re: Brand new BU40N shipped from China good or bad idea?
Hello, I've bought two of them in the last 5 years. They run fine and, as far as I know, they are genuine. Disclaimer : there are so many Chinese sellers that the chance you buy from the same sellers than me ir very very remote... So your experience can be different. I've bought them on Aliexpress b...

Re: random question: why does makemkv install to /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin?
Well in reality it's generally not considered a good idea to install something by running make install yourself. These days people often use flatpak or alike if it is something your distro doesn't ship in its official repo. The more traditional way would be to look for extra repo, or something like...
