Yes I recommend the BU40N or a UHD pioneer. That is the drive I sell but I buy it preassembled in a case from archgon I just ordered this one instead straight off Amazon hoping this will work straight away with no firmware flashing? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Z2SS7JD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asi...

Yes I recommend the BU40N or a UHD pioneer. That is the drive I sell but I buy it preassembled in a case from archgon Thanks Billy, I reckon i will go for the UHD Pioneer ones sold by asmcom here in the UK as it sounds like they are enabled from the factory with no additional firmware required and ...

Interesting I have a BH16NS40 internal drive that just stopped working I was away for three weeks, came back, copied 2 discs with no issue then a couple of days later it stopped working and now it will not even read plain CDs or software discs. There was a windows update in between and it happened t...

Huge downgrade apple is not magic your going form 16 cores to 10 you won't be able to use the nvidia encoder and I'm not sure if handbreak can use the hardware encoder on Mac. Thanks @billycar11 I was half expecting this reply! Yeah it does sound like i am good where i am as it is. My build above w...

Hi All I have been happily using MakeMKV on my current windows PC which is a pretty powerful build as listed below and only one year old. However i would like to move away from Windows and onto a more slimline PC form and more energy efficient as i have my PC running 24/7. It has been a while since ...

@MartyMcNuts I need some help I am getting pretty consistent failed rips with my hardware but not always. In the last week i just tried ripping Jungle cruise UHD and THOR Dark World UHD and they are both failing. I tried MakeMKV and DVD Fab UHD Rip with the same issues. Contrary to that an older UHD...

Thanks Marty

I am assuming I can just override existing firmware...i.e. just flash on top of the 1.05 I have now?

Yes, cleaning the discs is usually the first step to resolve these issues. Also, I suggest using a better firmware such as WH16NS60 1.02 from the MK firmware pack (in the old folder). Essentially anything but staying on 1.05. The newer firmwares majorly suck. On your current firmware, the sleep bug...

You should clead all UHDs before inserting. Even brand new and looking pristine. Wash with warm water and liquid soap. Dry with paper towel. Wipe then with a microfiber cloth e.g. the ones used for cleaning glasses. Try again. This is not a clean disc issue. 3 discs in a row is a bit of a coinciden...

This is how MKV is reading the drive now...note this is with a disc loaded!: Drive Information OS device name: E: Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST Product: BD-RE BH16NS40 Revision: 1.05 Serial number: KL7KAT81109 Firmware date: 2120-05-06 13:31 Bus encryption flags: 17 Highest AACS version: 76 LibreDrive Info...

Hi @MartyMcNuts Sorry for revisiting this post but i finally flashed the firmware for the drive today using your tool, checked the encrypted option - flasging worked and i can see MakeMKV recognising it as flashed, however i tried 3 4K disks today and the first one came with lots of reading errors b...

Yep, it can be flashed and yes it will be able to read UHD's.

Thanks @MartyMcNuts

Can I just use your guide (SDF tool) and select the 'enc' flag when I flash?

Thanks

Yep, sure can!

Thank you sir!

I just got delivery of my new 3950X PC and i discovered that the builder put in a decent drive. I am not 100% sure if i can flash this however as it is one of the encrypted ones. Most importantly...Can it even read UHD discs? Thanks all - details below Drive Information OS device name: E: Manufactur...

Hi I have the Asus BW 16D1HT and flashed it some time ago to 3.10 and i can see MKV recognising it as patched. However for the last week or so it w ill just refuse to read any discs. last week i was able to copy Tenet in UHT and Solo a Sar Wars story - but i have tired 3 different UD disks recently ...
