The AACS version has nothing to do with the firmware either. The only reason you would ever consider updating the firmware is if you burn a lot of discs and the drive isn't working particularly well with a certain brand of blank media. So, no, never update it.


Thanks for clearing that one up ...

You are already on the best firmware for that drive. Leave it on 1.00. If you have trouble reading a disc, clean the disc.


I'm just curious about the fact that my highest AACS version is 61, while I have seen (on YouTube, I think) there being Blu-Ray discs of higher AACS version. This is what I ...

DON'T flash the drive if it's working. Leave it alone. Playing the "is this firmware better" game is a losing proposition.


No worries, I'm not playing any games and rather gonna take the logical approach: Ripping all the discs I desire, until I come accross one that this firmware can't read. If ...

I might try removing the enclosure and use another sata-usb connection. If that works ...

Can you reboot the host & retry the disc?


I did, several times, I used other ports, another cable, no changes, exact same error. Oh, funny thing btw, the remaining time of the evaluation version reset after a macOS update. So that would indicate to me that the tool's storage also got reset ...

I wanted to give flashing this firmware a shot, but I didn't get anywhere.

First I looked for the drive, then I executed the command targeting the right drive, using the mentioned firmware file. Got the "No drive tool logic found in SDF.bin" error. Adding -t mtk19xx at least started the process ...

Copy/paste the Drive/LibreDrive Info sections from MakeMKV here. Looks like you'll need to flash FW.

Greetings!

I'm trying to get the video data off of a UHD Blu-Ray Disc, and immediately ran into an error. The error log as well as the tar archive mentioned in it are both attached, as is a screenshot of the tool's overview before starting this action.

I'm on a M1 MBP, currently Ventura 13.5. The ...
