I don't see any value in keeping the DRM. While I use MakeMKV backups in the process of making the .mkv files, I keep the .mkv files as my 'archival copy', not the backups nor an ISO. In addition to the movie, I also make .mkv files of the extras on the disc and include them in my Plex ( Local File...

thanks for the step by step breakdown. Need more of that on this forum!

I have just taken most recent firmware download hyperlink from pioneer site and replaced the 1.04 with 1.01 and google searched that and found older firmware.

lovely.

just pushed two brand new drives to 1.04 because of this post.... viewtopic.php?f=19&t=28272&p=133236#p133236

I have FW 1.01 on my BDR-S12U. Weren't you afraid to lose UHD rip capabilities when updating? And may I ask how you did that? You will never lose UHD rip capabilities because the new firmware adds only few improvements while the libredrive mode is running in RAM (firmware is not overwritten). In or...

Got my 2-pioneer BDR-S12UHT drives today. Amazingly professional service from beginning to end. Great communication. Super professional emails that are very detailed. Awesome tracking links. Super fast shipping to the US. Products were packaged superb. Invoices included with shipments as well. Overa...

Great info from you both!

I keep seeing that direct play term. Thanks for the link. I assumed it was an untouched original version that hasn’t been transcoded. It sounds like that is the case.

Right now I have some movie files on my Mac mini that I can watch thru infuse, emby or plex. I have all 3 of those apps. Currently they play fine, However I have not ripped anything yet and tried higher quality versions of these movie files. Reason being no drive connected to the Mac. I did just ord...

Basically I am starting from scratch for the server. It’s a blank slate. Total budget for it up to about 4 grand I guess. I have a ton to learn. I’ve been spending the last two days researching about 8 hours a day. Thinking about 6-16 TB drives to start. Processor will either be a 12th i9 intel or X...

So what’s your player recommendation?

Awesome! Thank you

I am building a new movie server. I have two pioneer opticals and I would like to be able to rip 1:1 backups on both drives simultaneously and not see errors. Curious how I implement drop and rip on for two drives at once and also curious what kind of processing power I might need for this task. Wil...

I am curious as I am building a new movie server, does the GPU play a role in ripping? Would spec'ing a higher end GPU card result in better ripping performance? I assume this is all irrelevant as I am just copying data when doing a 1:1 rip, so optical speed and drive speed are really the only two t...

ok, if he can't do it your price is £112.10 + postage per drive correct?

great thank you! sorry I am a newbie at this. Trying to learn.
