Can I just add my new woes to this thread? I have literally just flashed my WH16NS40 and began ripping films. I ripped Dunkirk and Lock Up absolutely fine. Then I inserted American Psycho and when the disc was trying to load instead MKV brought up loads of text. Sadly I dont have the exact text but ...

Thanks for all your help. Flashed and seems to be working ok.

Ok thanks for the replies.

So in otherwords if I use the sdftool flasher and then this firmware from the all in one pack (HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin) thats all that should be needed?

How do the Asus drives compare? Are they generally any better or worse than the LG ones?

I am considering buying a; LG WH14NS40 I presume this drive is still a good one to buy and flash to rip UHDs? Sorry I dont know a lot about this. The last time I flashed a drive was back in 2004 to play multi-region DVDs... It's ok if you get a Good one you have about a 75% chance of getting a good...

Hey guys, I am thinking of getting one of these drives; LG WH14NS40, UHD Friendly Internal 5.25 LG WH16NS40, UHD Friendly Internal 5.25 Is there a guide in how to then flash these for UHD ripping? I havent done anything along these lines since about 2002 when I flashed cracked firmware to my then DV...

I think I found someone with a similar problem. They couldnt get the chapters to recognise on an Apple TV, the solution was that the chapter needs a language track in metadata which aparrently Handbrake doesnt supply...? I think the general view was that he needed to use a different package than Han...

Hi again Woodstock, thanks for your reply. Yes, if I put a native MKV file straight from MakeKKV then the chapters do indeed work on the Panasonic. With that in mind, what could be the issue with Handbrake then? (I can appreciate this isnt a Handbrake forum, so my apologies), I have "create cha...

Hi Woodstock.

When I convert the file in handbrake, I am doing it as an MKV. As I mentioned in the first post, the chapters are there and work in VLC player, but in my Panasonic UHD player on my living room TV, they do not work.

I really dont know what I am doing wrong on this.

Hi, I have ripped my disc collection to an Ext HDD. I have started to shrink some of the files with Handbrake, however when I do so for some reason when I go and play them on my blu ray player, the chapters no longer work. If I play the same files in VLC they do then work, but on my Panasonic UHD pl...

Hi there, Is there any way to "improve" the look of the player generated subtitles that are used by BD discs? I always think its sad when embedded subtitles are removed and replaced with horrible digital looking ones with no contextual presence, I think they cheapen the look of a film. I t...

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yep, I was a bit confused by that list (I had read it before I posted this thread). Some of the models mentioned there aren't available any more, plus some of the models listed don't list that they have UHD support...? Am I missing something? This is one of the Asus models ...

Hi there,

Is there a well regarded UHD drive which MKV can work with?

I have seen some posts about an LG but that seems quite expensive in this country.

Thanks,

Ben.
