It's probably not the drive as the issue is back. I've tried doing the tricks with doing the cellwalk and stuff, but even when it can read the the cells, the rip always fails except for the first episode. I turned off anti-virus, rebooted the machine, turned the power off. I even tried to back up th...

Let me reply to my own post.

I always keep a spare of those LG drives around (they're fragile as all get-out), and after replacing it, it works. I note the drive has a 1 year warranty, I think it's going back.

As part of the 7 season set that's now widely available for $65, Seasons 1 & 2 rip normally. But season 3 will never get to the point where it shows you the episodes. In fact what happens is this: MakeMKV v1.17.3 win(x64-release) started Using direct disc access mode Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL ...

Dang. I just figured out for the initial flash you have to tick the enc? box if it has the original firmware on it. Here's what I have now.

I used the sdftool_flasher.exe with the latest firmware HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BH16NS40-NS50-1.05-NM00600-212005061331.bin and sdftool_flasher reported that it completed okay. The firmware version was the same in MakeMKV, but that's what I...

Thanks for the reply. 1) When you say the SDFTool, is it the one in the MakeMKV program directory? Is it the SDFTool or the SDFTool64? 2) Must the SATA channel be set to IDE in the BIOS? 1. No it's linked on first page sdftool 2.no leave it as default It all worked very seamlessly and quickly. When...

So I took the easier way and used the sdftool_flasher and the mk-firmware-pack-20200720. Ran the tool and flashed to HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS40-NS50-1.05-NM00900-212005061440 from the "HL-DT-ST" folder with the enc option checked (after forgetting to click it the first time) Then flashed to ...
