Re: Blu-ray Backup works, but how can I write the backup to disc with no region code?

A simpler approach is really to write to MKV files, ignore the menus, and give your aunt a media player that can read something other than BDs. MKV files do not have region coding. Thanks. Sadly she struggles with technology so anything new (like playing from an MKV) is just too much for her. Frank...

Blu-ray Backup works, but how can I write the backup to disc with no region code?

I found one of my aunt's favorite old movies but it was only available as a Region B Blu-ray. I figured I would rip it and write it as a region-free disc for her, but it's proving harder than I thought. My MakeMKV backup worked fine, but I can't figure out how to write that backup to a disc without ...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021

Hi all, I've just bought the Archgon drive. I understand it is a renamed LG BU40N drive. I also understand I can use the built-in MakeMKV flasher from the command line (or via the GUI) to downgrade the Firmware to 1.00. My confusion comes from the labeling of the firmwares.
