That's a relief.

Now I just wonder about what to use instead of MKVToolsNix as they won't be migrating to Apple Silicon.

Eurgh!! I just found out about that too... Let us know if you find an alternative please...

Thanks so much for these, Marty!! It's really appreciated!! :D Will the BP50NB40 1.03 firmware work for a BP55EB40 SVC: EB52 as well? These original flashers only work for that particular model, so no. Thanks, Marty!! If you ever happen to come into possession of the original BP55 firmware, please ...

Hi all, I recently purchased a second Verbatim 43888 as a back-up drive. I was expecting to receive the LG BU40N, and that's exactly what I got. I already have a 43888 with a Pioneer drive, so I've decided to use the LG as my primary drive (preserving the Pioneer). As I'm just backing up Blu-ray's ...

I'm currently using them and wondering if I should change them to OWC's...

PMed you

Thanks, Billy!!

you have to bend the tabs or slot them with a Dremel take out the motherboard of the case if you are going to slot them Thanks. Does the Vantec NexStar DX2 require these modifications too? It looks like it can accommodate longer drives. I might still be able to return the OWC drive and get the Vant...

The internal drives has different quality, there are better and worse drives, but with the BU40N I've personally the best expierience with difficult discs (in relation to LG-based drives). Also the recommended firmware is important. With the BU40N 1.00 for example the ripping of horrible 4K disc Bl...

If you want a LG and maximum ripping speed is not very important for you take a LG BU40N or a BU50N. It's a slim drive. You can find it without enclosure or built in the new Verbatim 43888 or in the LG BP55EB40. Also Techpulse, Nolyth or Orico has externel slim drives which could has a BU40N inside...

Hey everyone, Looking for a bit of advice. I know the general consensus here deservedly leans heavily in favor of Pioneer drives, and tends to steer clear of LG models. I already own a couple of Pioneer drives and have been really happy with them. That said, I’m considering picking up an LG drive as...

Hadn't used MakeMKV for quite some time and tried at the worst moment, just after updating all my Mac to macOS 15.4! :-) Also, MakeMKV can rip discs in a Windows VM (I fully tested Parallels Desktop and started a rip with UTM) on an Apple Silicon Mac, so for those with Windows VM, that's a (hopeful...
