Oh wow. Thanks for the info. I only have a small 4k collection, like a bunch Disney movie and a few random titles. How do you use that site? Do you just search for a title and read up what other people say about it? Just search and read the info posted about it. For example: Finding Nemo (2003) 4K ...

My blu-rays number in the several thousands. My failure rates is much less than 1% (maybe a dozen or so discs). I like to keep several blu-ray drives of different brands in my ripping machine (I realize that internally many brands are the same). I notices that there are some discs/drives that just ...

As for 4K, my own personal preference is to avoid 4K for movies that are upscaled to 4k. blu-ray.com usually lists if a 4K title is 4K native or upscaled. There's more to 4K than just resolution of course, and perhaps for some titles it is worth it, especially if the blu-ray release is substandard ...

Your post is a good reminder to people that the same disc in a different drive can sometimes produce different results. Before long you'll be asking about which NAS to buy and how hard is it to get 100TB of available storage. :) Lol...funny you mentioned that. I've already at 10TB worth of rip and ...

i had no success with any easy option other than destroying the verbatim casing. i bought a cheap plastic external casing for it after i destroyed the aluminium verbatim casing. there are 2 very tiny holes at the sides of the casing on both sides which i tried to push in to slide front or back and ...

Is it possible to remove the drive without dismantling the entire thing?

I wanted to test the drive out in a laptop with removable dvd drive. However, I would like to be able to put it back together.

Ah got it. Thanks. THe BU40N is kinda surprising to me. It actually better than I thought. I'm not sure how well it'll hold up in the long run. I suspect Verbatim probably couldn't secure any more Pioneer drive so they have to settle for the second best drive they can get their hands on. Based on th...

I just started getting into Blu-ray ripping. And I've been on a frenzy, ripping whatever I can get my hands on...lol I want to see what are other people's experiences on how successfully they are at ripping blu-ray. And throw in a little info on your setup. I've probably done over 100 discs so far, ...

Where did you get the Verbatim 43888? I see people saying to get it from Amazon Germany so I simply assume all 43888 from other regions are now on BU40N drive instead of the Pioneer UD04 drive that works out of the box. But I'm wondering whether those from Germany are switching over to the BU40N yet.

Not sure if this is the right section to ask this question. Is it common to need to power cycling the OWC Mercury Pro enclosure after disc fail to rip? Often when a disc fail, I'll need to restart the drive meaning powering off the enclosure and then power it back in order for my Mac to recognize th...

Hi, I just started getting into backing up Blu-ray, I have mix of regular and UHD Blu-rays. Read that the pioneer drives are the best. Also that I should get any drive with firmware before Dec 2022. So I went ahead and purchase a Pioneer BDR-212V, Verbatim 43890 (BDR-UD03), and a BDR-XD05S since all...
