Interesting. I had a 209 for ages till it died. It was a good ripper but I didn't have any uhd back then.
It died one day a year or so ago and refused to talk to me after that.

I'm also looking for a 5.25" drive in an external enclosure for libredrive / 4k ripping..

Hope the future's looking brighter for @asmcom.

Yeah that's fine, I'm just saying that - in a manner of speaking - this is basically editing a conf file ("cli type stuff") that you just happen to do through the gui.

Well.. that's a start.
I note the site actually mentions makemkv .. now all we need is makemkv to be able to pull the metadata ..

Good call, "use the cli options, Luke"..
Thanks, I'll experiment.

I read three separate threads today saying the BU40N in a USB enclosure often does this when its power supply is not up to the job. Start there.

By default MakeMKV doesn’t rip the MVC track, so things rip as 2D. Did you change that?

I have to say I would like the option to change this default, too.

FWIW I have succesfully ripped my 3D UK release disks to a pair of mkv files using a bog standard Matsushita BDRW drive from 2016 or so.

Sad isn't it. It seems so stupid to actually remove the support for a format, even if they stop shipping the glasses by default. I still have Panasonic plasmas and the 3D is really excellent.

No it just means there's two virtual copies of the movie on the disk - e.g. with different audio tracks, or maybe a different title sequence for another language. Pick either and make sure you expand the title and select "MVC Video 3D" to include the 3D video data. Your next challenge (bec...

My suspicion is that the beta status also potentially keeps the lawyers focussed elsewhere ..

I disagree, application errors don't cause kernel panics. Kernel errors cause kernel panics..
I realise makemkv uses some low level device commands at times but that's no excuse for the kernel to panic. Take the complaint to Apple.

The nature of a program that interacts with optical drives is that those drives sometimes take many seconds to respond to individual requests, so applications can be made to wait several seconds quite often. I'm ok with this, it's expected. The alternative is programmers spend time writing multi-thr...
