Re: beta key not working...

You get what you pay for... in this case you have to wait for the key to be uploaded. AS mentioned above if it was more than a week later, then it is fair to ask the question. I mean after all you are only backing up disk that YOU OWN, right. It only means a slight delay before you can do this. I fo...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021

I am not sure. I don't know if someone would want to deal with a potentially bricked drive. So the choice is yours. Perhaps offer it here on this thread at first and see if someone (perhaps the OP) would reach out to you via PM (not thread IMO) for the details and charges. Might be a bit more consid...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021

At this point, I'd do one of two things. 1) get a different drive and try again or 2) see if one of the experts here that do remote flashing is willing to assist you in getting this drive properly functional. I know, from experience that this process can be confusing as I just went through it myself...

Re: Stargate SG 1 Season 3 Disc 1 und 2

Just to cover the basics, this is a dvd from your region? correct? If so it might just be the disk IMO as multiple devices not working it is hard for me to believe it is something to do with the devices. I happen to have the complete Stargate collection and haven't had any issue with ripping. (howev...

Re: Getting the following error: Calculated BUP offset for VTS #1 does not match one in IFO header.

Can you rip other dvds now without any issues? I ask as it might be your drive laser is going out and it just so happens to be at this point. Another option (but it sucks) is to see if you can get another copy from somewhere to see if it is just some strange DVD mastering error that is causing thing...

Re: Does MakeMKV bypass region locking?

Before you try to flash any drive make sure the platform reads on Make MKV like my example does. 1959. If it doesn't don't flash it. If you need to flash, find a UHD friendly drive. You can find them in the main guide (and possibly many other locations on this site.

Re: Help a newbie looking for direction

Yes, keep this for the DVDs and other task and get yourself a newer approved drive. BH16NS40, make sure it is the version using the official guide. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634 Fortunately, it is pretty easy to get these drives now. Most places have them. If you hav...

Re: WH16NS40 Firmware 1.05 Uncertanty

You won't brick it flashing to the drive using proper firmware (for that model) The worst you can do as far as I am aware is not get the best results (speed, etc) I have flashed this very same model to many different flash versions without any issues. Just don't cross flash different model like LG b...

Re: New to the uhd side, looking for some help

Excellent point dcoke22. However, I don't have the disk to really test to see if it is working well for me. At least not yet. I'd prefer to have the system setup properly instead of messing around with it in the middle of trying to rip one. However, after this post here I learned how to dump my firm...

Re: question about quality makemkv

As I have seen MakeMKV gives a lossless rip ;without any conversions. This is the difference. It appears as DVDFab is altering some of the data as it is doing it's thing. I personally prefer MakeMKV over DVDFab and even AnyDVD (currently) with the results that I have been able to get. (AnyDVD I only...

Re: DVD always freezes at 500.5 MB

I once had a problem with a strangely mastered DVD in the past. I used AnyDVD and Handbrake. AnyDVD decrypted the drive and Handbrake was able to eventually rip it. Also, you can see if someone you know can try to rip it as well in case the off chance there is a problem with your computer. .(doubt i...

Re: New to the uhd side, looking for some help

Not to hijack the thread. A simple question. What if you have the 3.00 version on your drive. Got lucky and found a refurb that had that version in 3 drives I recently bought. (25 dollars a piece ) Should it be upgraded?
