Looking for an internal 5.25" drive but your OP says you have none in stock. Is this correct?

Hey guys,

I have ripped hundreds of blu-ray disks and have not found a good solution to this issue so I thought I'd post here to get the advice of people who are a lot smarter than I am!

I recently bought and ripped all seasons of Breaking Bad and the Walking Dead. When they are ripped the files ...

Ya and I try to do that but thats not shown once you start a RIP so its still hard to identify. Would be a lot easer to make the display name slightly different.

Hey guys,

I have a few UHD drives that I use to rip blurays with. I flashed 2 of them with the same FW because it was the only recommended one on the downloads page. As a result they both show up as the same drive in the MakeMKV dropdown list. Is it possible to change and or choose the name of the ...

Thanks. I appreciate the quick replies and the help! I learned something today.

I feel dumb. Thanks for clearing this up.

At this point do i need to downgrade the FW to something like 1.02 in order to rip 4K blurays or will the current FW do it?

I just realized that this error message is popping up for the SDFTool.
Not sure if this has anything to do with the drive not flashing. Is there another flasher i could test? If so can you link me to it?

Hey guys,

I just sent my WH16NS40 drive out to LG for RMA work and received a new (refurbished I'm sure) drive in the mail from them. The new drive has a manufacturing date of December 2020.

Its current FW is: HM-DT-ST_BD-RE__WH16NS40_1.05_212005061440_KZNKCOB3944

I can't get this drive to flash ...

I ended up calling Alex at the info in the link below and purchasing an ASUS BW-16D1HT from him already flashed.

I have flashed 3 of my own drives but wanted his advice on which drive to get since I wasn't happy with the LG drives so I ...

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention in the OP that the drive needs to fit into an 5.25" bay.

I see that drive is slimmer than the standard 5.25" bay. Is there some sort of adaptor that it fits in to make that work?

What is the speed of the drive compared to the WH16 drives that i already ...

Hey guys!

I have 1 LG WH14NS40 drive and 2 LG WH16NS40 drives in the same computer all flashed to accept 4k disks and all were working properly until recently.

Over the last few weeks, I have noticed that my newest WH16NS40 drive stopped showing up in windows. I rebooted the computer, changed ...

MakeMKV will generate a .tgz file if the version of AACS is higher than any previous disk. And you can tell it to always generate a .tgz for disks with BD+ protection.

I appreciate the response. Thanks!

Hey guys,

Just a quick question. I use MakeMKV all the time and want to provide as much info that would help improve the program as possible. I am familiar with the procedure of submitting the .tgz file to MakeMKV when a movie wont RIP (usually a UHD Disk) but occasionally MakeMKV will generate a ...

Welcome here!

You won't get an email response, but the turnaround can often be pretty quick - just try again, and be sure to have "Enable Internet access" selected in Preferences.


Hey I appreciate the info. I tried the disks again this morning and they worked! Quick turn around considering I ...
