I sent my *4AFA on the 12th. First time I got a title that needed to be submitted!

I've been using the "Archgon Premium Aluminum External USB 3.0 UHD 4K Blu-Ray Writer Super Drive" very successfully for a few weeks now. I'd recommend that if you need an external drive that's easy to get and immediately supported in MakeMKV. Of course, the ASMCOM drives would be fine, too...

Does everyone run the slim, external, Pioneer or is there a good 5.25 internal Pioneer drive for old guys like me who like their giant, old school, tower cases? I just got my hands on one of those slim external Pioneers from Adorama. Very handy since most PC cases these days don't have slots for 5....

I bought a Pioneer BDR-XS07UHD from Amazon a few days ago. Got here today and it had the 1.02 firmware on it which worked out of the box with libredrive/makemkv. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FGVPTHW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details The vendor that sold it to me on amazon was Adorama. I ...

I've never had a problem ripping DVDs or Blu-rays from other regions here in the US on my US drives. I don't think you'll have a problem.

For DVD I prefer to rip to ISO twice and compare checksum. Since the junk data appears to always be random, doing a 2-pass rip will rule out the bad dump. Th...

Adding to my previous note: I was just now using MakeMKV on my 3 drives simultaneously to back up the 5-disc Speed Racer Blu-ray set. Both the LG drives returned bad M2TS hashes part way into the backup. Turned them off and restarted. Completed the copies without issue. The Pioneer never generated a...

I thought I'd share my recent experiences: I started making backups of my Blu-rays and DVDs a few weeks ago. This was partly to make it easier to view multi-disc sets (a full season of TV shows, for example), but also to see if any of the discs had suffered from rot. So far, I've backed up over 500 ...

Make a backup of the disc using MakeMKV, then create an ISO of that folder using ImgBurn.

I was curious and ran a test of making a Blu-ray backup using MakeMKV and AnyDVD. I did a binary comparison of the resulting files, and the playlists, certificates, etc. are all identical, but all of the M2TS files have differences. Does anyone have an explanation for why they're not identical? (Bot...
