WH14NS40-NS50 vs WH14NS40?

are these 2 drives the same?

trying to flash my WH14NS40 drives, but the "All You Need Firmware Pack" only has the "DE_LG_WH14NS40-NS50_1.02.bin" firmware file...is this safe to use on the standard WH14NS40?

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2025

Probably in a non-default location. So copy SDFTool Flasher to that location. You can find it in "View" "Preferences" "General" when you run Makemkv. You made it difficult in the first place yourself. There are perfectly valid reasons for not installing things into the...

Re: My drive going bad?

If the drive can still rip other discs without issue, then it's probably not the drive. And yes, I am one of those who have had nothing but frustration with the GoT UHD box set...I also had to go through 2 sets just to piece together one "complete/working" set where all the discs could be ...

Re: MakeMKV, just BUY it already.....

So I just wanted to weigh in on this subject, since I have personally been on both sides of the "it costs too much" argument. It's all just a matter of perspective, really. When I was making less money and my monthly expenditures were much higher, I also could not quantify spending $60+ on...

Option to permanently disable the "on-the-fly decryption software" warning

on the fly decryption warning.png I have always just clicked "Yes", and everything has always worked just fine (I almost always load ISO images I have created from my purchased discs, which I have already decrypted via other means, so MakeMKV never has to do any decryption anyway). Howeve...

Re: Chick Fight: Another Cursed Redbox Exclusive

so, when this title had just been released, I rented it and it was able to be read, no problem. however, I needed to re-encode it using a different codec, and I have gone through 5 (five!) of these steaming piles of doo-doo, and none of them have been readable in any of 8 optical drives that i have ...

Re: Game of Thrones 4K UHD Retail.

I had a TON of problems with ripping this whole series, purchased on Amazon U.S. Probably MORE than 1/2 of the discs initially had read errors, but I was able to clean the discs (sometimes it took more than one cleaning per disc), and eventually got all but 4 of the discs to backup. Did a return on ...
