LibreDrive won't gain you anything on a drive that is from 2014 or earlier, really. It's the ones built after 2015 where you might gain some functionality, and then only if it was a drive that supported UHD. My Pioneer drive (2015) had no functionality added to it. It would allow you to play HD DVD...

Bump. Would love libredrive support for these drives.

Bump. Any updates on possible firmware mods for these drives? Be awesome to see libredrive, and HD DVD writing capability added to them. Thanks! BTW, there's a brand new LG GGW-H20L dual HD DVD/Blu Ray drive on ebay right now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Blu-ray-Disc-Rewriter-HD-DVD-ROM-Drive-Model-...

If there's anything I can do to contribute to this effort, please advise!

Second! Happy to beta test or send a spare drive if needed to get this going.

So we’re talking cross-flashing a BDR-205 with GGW-20L firmware. If it’s far from trivial, then it’s still possible... right? ;) Yes. Hardware is identical. Hey Mike, Just checking to see if there's been any more thought put into these drives? Curious if they can be made into a libre drive as well....

Any updates on this?

So how hard will it be to turn these into a libredrive?

I have one of these for HD DVD ripping. They’re pretty decent. I had no clue these are HD-DVD combo drives... This makes more sense to look at then. Yeah, there are a few logos on the front. :lol: F72318B8-9162-448B-AF96-E5595C9F9B8F.jpeg GGW-H20L.png Which tool are you using that shows all the dev...

Does anyone know / is there a list of what the drive platforms are, in order of age? I know about 1959, 1939, but wasn't aware there was a RS1013. Did you send the FW dump? RS1013 aka Renesas Indigo3 is a new platform "accidentally" discovered just recently. Was used by Hitachi drives aro...

Ok..installed the 1.02 firmware on the WH14NS40 and it's working fine. I then installed MKV, VLC, and moved the files over that are needed to play the disc. And it's working! One more question, how do I know if it's in HDR or not? When playing the movie the codec info in VLC says "Planar 4:2:0...

Yes. use vlc with the makemkv integration and disable menus i highly recommend you have an hdr monitor/tv and H.265 decoding support if not its not worth it Thanks! I have an HDR monitor and TV. My Radeon VII should do H.265 in VLC right? Also I've been reading about the Libredrive, is this somethi...
