Re: Trying To Get a LG WH16NS60 To Work

I would also suggest getting off 1.03 as it really a crappy firmware. Plenty of people have had read issues using it. WH16NS60 1.02 from the MK/old folder is the recommended firmware and works a lot better. I can now confirm MAJOR issues with 1.03. Ripping a Blu-ray (not an Ultra HD Blu-ray) was VE...

Re: Trying To Get a LG WH16NS60 To Work

Regarding the SDtool Flasher: If this is the one I tried, that I found on this forum, Microsoft flagged it as an unknown and potentially dangerous application. There was no compelling need to use it. The command line application seemed like a perfectly reasonable option. The only thing I missed/over...

Re: Trying To Get a LG WH16NS60 To Work

Here is my picky feedback. :-) *** 1) A typo that is probably rarely seen. I can't easily reproduce this typo because my drive has been flashed and the "Harware [SIC] support" status is no longer shown. And, it's *possible* I might have caused it; although, I think that's pretty unlikely. ...

Re: Trying To Get a LG WH16NS60 To Work

Thanks for the cleaning tips and comments. I suspect that in general I haven't had this issue much in the past because I had enabled my Pioneer HD Ultra Blu-ray drive set to deal with errors. And, my guess is that it did a pretty good job. You are right about brand new discs sometimes not being clea...

Re: Trying To Get a LG WH16NS60 To Work

The 'dirty' disc actually came as quite a surprise. I handle my discs very carefully. I have ripped many hundreds of discs without any problems (but, never an Ultra HD Blu-ray). In this case there was a slight fingerprint at the outside edge that I overlooked. So, sorry about that. FWIW, I did make ...

Re: Trying To Get a LG WH16NS60 To Work

Footnote/Update: Cleaning the disc was (most likely) the answer. After cleaning, the disc that failed before worked perfectly. If 1.03 continues to work, I'm going to leave it alone. As they say, if it ain't broke ... :-) Would you like some very picky feedback about MakeMKV, and some less picky fee...

Re: Trying To Get a LG WH16NS60 To Work

Thanks for the 1.02 and cleaning tip. Sad to hear that LG went significantly backwards from 1.03 to 1.02. I'm such a n00b. I just learned today that while the first layer is read center out, the second layer is outermost in. The first one I tried, that failed, had finger prints on the outer edge. I ...

Re: Trying To Get a LG WH16NS60 To Work

Thanks for that tip. I did quite a bit more testing today. Looks like yesterday was adverse sampling. I have totally focused on 2 and 3 layer testing today. I haven't had a single failure. I have been busy transferring files to my Synology DS220J and testing various client apps to see what can handl...

Re: Trying To Get a LG WH16NS60 To Work

Wow, thanks for your very fast response. As you will see below, your suggestion worked. THANKS! Unfortunately, there are issues with my attempts at ripping an ULTRA HD Blu-ray disc that surprised me. Please see below. Looks very similar to this on the forum: "UHD Backups Stall at About 50%"...

Trying To Get a LG WH16NS60 To Work

Looks like my attempt to flash the drive isn't working. Is my problem that the drive has version 1.03? I have included what I did below: Note: to be absolutely safe I first deleted all the .bin files except for this drive, made a copy of HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.03-NM00600-212005081010.bin, and ren...
