Re: Brand New Pioneer BDR-212UBK Not Working

I got another copy of the 4k title, and it ripped without any issues. Therefore, I have ripped (40) 4k discs on the BDR-212 without any issues. The drive is very quiet.

Thanks for the recommendation billy!

Re: Brand New Pioneer BDR-212UBK Not Working

In case I wasn't clear, I had to format my drive and re-rip all my discs again.

Do others have issues with this particular title?

Thank you,

Re: Brand New Pioneer BDR-212UBK Not Working

Well, I was able to rip all my 4k's, (33 titles) with the bdr-212ubk no problem. Except for the Scott Pilgrim 4k and I cleaned it 5 times. It seems strange to me that I was able to rip this disc fine with my LG before it died. Does the Scott Pilgrim 4k have a reputation of being problematic? In the ...

Re: Brand New Pioneer BDR-212UBK Not Working

I did clean the disc as you suggested twice, and still no luck. Is there anything else I can try other than buying another brand-new copy?

Does the Scott Pilgrim 4k have a reputation of being problematic?

Brand New Pioneer BDR-212UBK Not Working

I just got this new drive from B&H, and it failed to rip a 4K disc. This disc is also brand new and clean. It reads the disc quickly without any issues but fails to rip. I ripped 2 other 4k discs before this one without any issues. I ripped this disc before without any issues with my LG WH16NS60...

Re: LG WH16NS60 VS LG WH16NS40

I just ordered a Pioneer BDR-212UBK. This drive will work for ripping 4ks using makeMKV without having to do any flashing. I then can watch the mkv's in VLC without any issues. Is this correct? I never had to replace an optical drive before on my PC. Aside from physically swapping them out, do I nee...

Re: LG WH16NS60 VS LG WH16NS40

I went through all the full-size internal drives and decided to get another LG WH16NS60 or a Pioneer BDR-212UBK. To clarify, for the WH16NS60 firmware 1.02MK is recommended, correct? For the BDR-212UBK it will work out of the box and does not need to be flashed, correct? Again, I am only using makeM...

Re: LG WH16NS60 VS LG WH16NS40

Before, I get another drive, is there a way to tell if a windows update is the reason my drive stopped working? I'm only interested in full size internal drives. I will only be using makemkv to rip 4ks. I also rip cds with iTunes. With that being said, what drives do you recommend and can I buy one ...

LG WH16NS60 VS LG WH16NS40

My LG WH16NS60 is dead. It won't read regular blu-rays or UHD's anymore. Therefore, I'm looking for a new full-size desktop drive.

Are the top (2) the LG WH16NS60 and the LG WH16NS40?
If so, which one is best or more reliable?

Thank you,

Re: File Size and makeMKV Versions

I never select any other audio languages. I always choose the the highest quality English audio track. I must be mistaken. Last question, why does makeMKV say the main title is 56.9gb when it's actually 46.8gb? Is the main title 56.9gb only if you select every single audio track and subtitle with in...

Re: File Size and makeMKV Versions

Like I said, I just used the default settings. Please see screenshot below of Shutter Island UHD. I ended up with a 46.8GB file. If you have this title, is your file size 46.8GB also?

Re: File Size and makeMKV Versions

How do I check the Metadata for an mkv file? If I post the results, can you tell me if any compression was done?

I just used the default makemkv settings for both rips. Most of my rips this time around are in the 40gb range with one only being 37gb.

Thank you,

Re: File Size and makeMKV Versions

Again, how is this actually possible? All of my re-rips are smaller in size than before.
