Re: Verbatim 43888 won't read Bluerays after 2015


My Verbatim has a USB-C to USB-A connection. I also tried connecting it to the USB-C port with an adapter.


Not really sure what you mean. If your drive has a C port then ideally you should connect it to a C port of your computer with a C-C cable. (But well I can't rule out that there are ...

Re: Public KeyDB Disc Submissions


FindVUK works fine inside a wineconsole on Linux. You would need to add an entry for your disk to your KEYDB.cfg file, and then execute "findvuk validateDisc" to have FindVUK prove that your entry is correct, and then upload it into the database. For example:
$ wineconsole findvuk validateDisc ...

Re: Newbie assistance needed please

If you want to simply flash it into a LibreDrive, check out the guide (viewtopic.php?t=19634) and treat it as a LG BU40N.

Otherwise you'll have to be more specific than just "failing" for any potential help.

Re: How to backup PS3 media

This is really not a forum for question regarding that. The concern of MakeMKV / LibreDrive is really just BD-Video (and copy protection / encryption related to that, such as AACS).

P.S. most likely you can only do a block-based dump with something like dd, or maybe redumper (whatever it does). The ...

Re: Verbatim 43888 won't read Bluerays after 2015

Well a USB-C port (non-PD) might provide 3A (and should at least provide 1.5A?). I don't know if the things (USB power negotiation whatsoever) work like that but if your computer has a USB-C port, you can try to get a USB-C to USB-A adapter and see if that works better than connecting the drive to a ...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2026


I attached a screenshot of my drive information.


Doesn't show up (for me). Should have posted the text anyway.

Btw does anyone know if there's any MT1939 drive that can be flashed with MK (or DE or older stock) firmware just for LibreDrive but not UHD? Or is it more like sdftool (I mean ...

Re: Public KeyDB Disc Submissions

Hello. So I have an old title (regular / non-UHD BD) with MKBv37 and this drive that hasn't been inserted with disc with a newer MKB. With the host cert/key provided in KeyDB I've managed to obtain the VUK through libaacs, and I would like to have it added to the KeyDB (if key for such older title ...

Re: Verbatim 43888 won't read Bluerays after 2015

Well sometimes it is mentioned on the cover, but maybe it's a less common thing for western / Hollywood releases.

P.S. btw do you mean like the disc(s) that were recognized can still be recognized after attempting to read some newer discs, or do you mean like after such attempts not even the old ...

Re: Verbatim 43888 won't read Bluerays after 2015

Btw do you know if all the discs "newer than 2015" are BD50 (dual layer) and all otherwise are BD25 (single layer)? Are your collections all regular BD (i.e. non-UHD/4K)? Or by "newer than 2015" you really mean UHD BD?

ASUS drives are relabeled LG or Pioneer. You need to post the LibreDrive information from MakeMKV for someone to be able to help you out.

Re: UHD ripping works, but extremely slow

Ah right. Now that I recall I once wanted to dump whatever can be dumped from my Pioneer drive, and IIRC it did stall.

I suppose the firmware dumping / speed setting bits are not the same bits that are involved in "activating" LibreDrive / disabling bus encryption then...

P.S. It's really weird ...

Re: LG WH16NS60 issues

There's no special flasher for OmniDrive firmware. You don't need one.

"SDFTool Flasher", aka the GUI wrapper of sdftool is Windows only. (Maybe it can be made to work through wine but IIRC it's a .NET program so it could be a bit of a hassle -- my wine knowledge is old though.) I think you can use ...

Re: Aspect ratio ok, but not full screen

I don't see any image in your post though. Perhaps you need to upload it somewhere else and paste a link.

And at the end of the day, is your "screen" 16:9? And have you tested with movie that is 16:9 itself (and that the DVD is NOT 4:3 letterbox)?

P.S. I haven't remuxed DVD with MakeMKV for quite ...
