Re: Solder new firmware chip - Pioneer UHD Drives
I agree with you to some extent. When you swap a chip from a failed drive to a donor board, you have the old chip and the new board. And the chip is a flash memory perfectly identifiable and well known. So you can read the data from one chip, save it and program it into the new one. * But the situat...

Re: Solder new firmware chip - Pioneer UHD Drives
Hi ! Having repaired some electronic boards with SMD chips, I guess this wold prove nearly impossible. First, you have to have the Pioneer drive to flash the chip on. Of course, you need to find and buy the proper chip new. (good luck with that) Then you have to solder/install the chip in order to f...

Discrepancies between libmmbd files
Hi Guys, On my laptop running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS I use https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/heyarje/makemkv-beta/ubuntu as the repository for the Ubuntu MakeMkv packages sinc some years now.

Re: Is there a preferred Linux release that MakeMKV works best with?
Frankly, what differentiates various GNU/Linux distributions ? The user interface mostly. So if you have the proper libraries MakeMKV is built upon, you're safe on this side. Kernel and system libraries are mostly the same across distributions so you'll be perfectly safe whatever one you choose. It ...

Re: Problem after backup
I don't know. I clicked on the backup icon. (the one with the arrow pointing to the open folder).

Edit : i did this on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using the latest Make MKV version.

Re: PPA Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Support

Re: KEYDB.cfg, Disc Identifiers and MakeMKV dumps
Hello, Even if I'm not a huge user of MakeMKV, I was intrigued by your post. I do not have any KEY.cfg file (nor KEY.CFG or key.cfg) file on my computer. I do not know if this comes from the fact that I run this app under Liunux/Ubuntu or if this file is not needed by MakeMKV ? Maybe someone more kn...

Re: Are there white internal Blu-ray burners?
Hello, Optical drive makers used to sell their internal drives with both a black and a "grey" bezel. Depending on the make of the computer you owned, you put the bezel with the correct colour. I would either ask the maker for a properly coloured bezel Or find a dead drive from the same mak...

Re: How to burn a Blu-ray disc from a backup on Linux ?
I actually used : mkisofs -udf -iso-level "3" -input-charset "utf-8"-V <name of the disc> -allow-limited-size -o <name_of_file_to_create>.iso <source_directory> to generate the ISO file. Then I burned it to a BD using my favourite burning software. (I do not do it on the command ...
