Working at the segment level yielded a good file (.mkv). Details: 1) Segment 14 (00014.m2ts), reported by File Explorer and by VLC with a length of 3:02, seems to contain nothing. When I played the segment in VLC and also in MPV, each showed black for the 3:02 of the segment and had no sound. I have...

Is there a different title in MakeMKV that is the length you expect? I don't have this disc, so I can't speak directly to your situation, but I wonder if MakeMKV has ripped the wrong title.

The title I cited is the only one that is anywhere near the correct length.

I used MakeMKV v1.65.5 win-x64 to get .mkv files from disc 2 of Visconti's "Ludwig." The second file produced, LUDWIG - Disc 2_t01.mkv, is the second half of the film and is 1:54:54 (according to Windows File Explorer and also VLC) in length. Unfortunately this file lacks audio for the fir...

I was so eager to flash that I didn't try the drive first. Stupid, I know.

Oops, I forgot: Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I found no 1.04 binary in the "old" MK firmware directory. So I used HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS40-NS50-1.03-NM00600-211711211653.bin (1.03) instead. I then used the original WH16NS40 1.05 flasher. At the end, I rebooted my system, as I was prompted by the flasher. Here's what MakeMKV says now (...

I've now tried 3-4 4K discs, at least 1 HD disc and at least 1 DVD. No good. I've noticed that the drive takes rather a long time in trying to read a disc, certainly in comparison with my LG Slim BP60NB10, which has been working like a charm. (I've kept the latter unplugged in my experiments with th...

Sticker further says SVC CODE:NS50.

The sticker on top of the drive says it was manufactured February 2021.

(And I just went through powering off the computer, and unplugging it, for about a minute. Same problem with MakeMKV.)

By "first post of the SDFTool Flasher thread," I assume you are referring to https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22896&p=94853&hilit=SDFtool+Flasher#p94853 . I flashed to HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS40-NS50-1.05-NM00900-212005061440.bin and then to HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16...

Let me correct my previous reply. I got 0x8F05C103 in trying to Write. But a few minutes ago, I tried Recover Drive with HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS40-NS50-1.05-NM00900-212005061440.bin. I powered the computer off and further unplugged the BD-RE drive. Then I replugged the drive and rebooted the computer....

I'm trying just now. In the SDFTool Flasher, I've clicked Recover Drive. The flasher seems to want firmware to write. What should I choose in the dropdown ("Please select a Firmware to Write")? Before I tried HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS40-NS50-1.05-NM00900-212005061440.bin, with 0x8F05C103 as th...

I am trying to "repair" a BD drive, LG WH16NS40, which I carelessly flashed to WP50NB40 a few weeks ago. The drive shows in my system's BIOS as WP50NB40, and it shows as WP50NB40 in Windows Device Manager (C:\Windows\System32\devmgmt.msc) on my Windows 10 Pro x64 system. But when I use SDF...
