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...

You're welcome ! Enjoy your drive !

Hello, On all my Ubuntu machines, the BD/DVD drives I plug into (BU40N, Pionner and various DVD burner from many makers) are recognised and useable strait on be it with Brasero, MakeMKV, VLC, K3B or any program trying to access them. * You can "easily" rip your DVD or BD under Linux provid...

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...

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. So far so good. Trying to read a 4K BluRay, I discovered that VLC could not open with this message : <pre>aacs.c:25...

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 ...

Yes, my bad. The check box was not checked. But the message is very misleading in French...

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

Hello Guys, I've tried to backup a Blu-Ray movie "The Spy gone north" A Korean film. Backup went smoothly and reported no errors. But I can't visualise any m2ts file with VLC. All I get is the yellow band moving from right to left and left to right on the progress bar. The total play time ...

Same here! The snap version complains that it can't get full access to the DVD/BluRay drives. I already have to use the mozilla version of FireFox, because of sandboxing issues. Hello There are fixes for the permission problems of the Firefox snap involving ... flatpack tools. Google it. (I've used...

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...

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...

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 ...
