Tell me when it's supposed to arrive.
Amazon says it should arrive on October 8
Check your PM.
Thanks. I'll try it when the drive arrives & I get it installed in my PC.

If you live in the US buy this drive and post again. I will send you what is needed to read UHD.
I just went ahead and ordered one of these Pioneer BDR-212V drives from Amazon

Re: Recommendation for best (most reliable and versatile) LibreDrive for 2024?

I currently have a LG WH16NS40, but sometimes I run into trouble reading some discs, and I've also had an issue where the drive sometimes becomes inaccessible until I reboot (which seems to be a common issue). I'm considering buying a different drive, and I've heard the Pioneer drives are fairly go...

Re: Friends Complete Series 4K - Dump Submitted

I've been having trouble ripping the last 4K disc (season 10 disc 2). It seems my disc is just unreadable, even after I clean the disc. Is anyone else having trouble with it?

Re: I was ripping, and now MakeMKV can't find any usable optical drives

The drive isn't being detected when MakeMKV asks about all drives. Sometimes, the operating system takes control of the drive and won't release it; other times, it just isn't detected for some reason. If you attach it via USB, try unplugging it and plugging it back in (best if it powers off during ...

I was ripping, and now MakeMKV can't find any usable optical drives

I recently bought the Friends 4K blu-ray set and have been ripping it. Many of the discs have had trouble being ripped until I cleaned them (sometimes 2 or 3 times was necessary before I was successfully able to rip the whole disc). I got to the last 4K disc and was having trouble (to the point wher...

Re: Friends Complete Series 4K - Dump Submitted

I've been ripping my discs, and I'm on the last of the 4K discs. Most of the discs have had trouble being ripped initially, requiring me to clean them in order to be ripped successfully. I've also noticed that the discs are very clear/see-through - I can hold the discs up to a light and I see the li...

What's the average file size for an episode?
Most tend to be about 7.5GB to 8.5GB, but there are some that are around 9GB or 10GB. There's also a double-length one at the end of season 9 which is both episodes 23 and 24, and that one is 19.4GB.

no, he means that the last two discs are standard blu-ray discs (which include only the special features).
the other 23 discs are 4K UHD and contain all the episodes.
Makes sense.

I've started ripping mine (currently on the 1st disc as I type this), and MakeMKV is already able to rip them.

Re: Friends Complete Series 4K - Dump Submitted

My set should arrive today. You say the last 2 are blu-rays - Does that mean the last episodes are 1080p rather than 4K? Or do those discs just have extras?

My copy arrived yesterday, and MakeMKV was unable to rip it yesterday, but today it's able to. It looks like the key is now in.

Re: UHF - Dump Submitted

I submitted mine on the 20th. Has anyone else noticed it seems like it's taking longer for the keys to be added? I feel like it used to take a day or two but now it seems like it's a week plus sometimes. The 20th? I thought it didn't come out until yesterday. I put in a pre-order for it on Amazon a...
