Re: Star Trek TOS Steelbook Set - Copy Errors on Disc 4

Looks to have been that one set. I bought a used copy and the disc worked fine.

Looking closer at the original disk, it has this weird wavy pattern that isn't present in the other discs. I wonder if it was a manufacturing error on that single disc.

Re: Star Trek TOS Steelbook Set - Copy Errors on Disc 4

Never had any luck getting the disc to read even following some tricks in a different thread.

Fortunately I was able to still get a refund, no thanks to CBS / Paramount. So I'm going to buy another set. Hopefully it's not the case for all of them.

[Solved] Star Trek TOS Steelbook Set - Copy Errors on Disc 4

Hello. I was wondering if I have a single bad disc, or if it's a production error, and if anyone else is having the same issue. I can't return my box set, it's waaaaaay past the return date. It's the 55th Anniversary Star Trek The Original Series steelbook collector's set. It was brand new. All the ...

Re: Recommend An External Case for a Slim Drive?

OWC case appears to relay the drive info correctly. My brother got this one:

Re: Recommend An External Case for a Slim Drive?

I'm gonna give the OWC enclosure a try. They're usually a good brand. I'll report back here if it works.

Recommend An External Case for a Slim Drive?

My brother has an LG BU40N drive that he pulled from a broken laptop. It's the same as the one in my Verbatim drive. However, the case he bought for it doesn't pass through the information about the drive correctly, and therefore he can't patch it. The computer (and by extension, MakeMKV) only see i...

This is also bootleg:

I let Amazon know. They pulled the other two, but are still selling this one. Don't buy it.

Re: Spotting Pirated Content

You can add Red Dwarf and Are You Being Served? DVD box sets from Amazon as confirmed bootlegs. The bootleg copies are sold in large multi-disc containers instead of individually packaged DVDs in a box set. Amazon advertises them as "repackaged." I thought perhaps the discs were taken from...

Re: Issues With Verbatim 43888

Thank you everyone. As this was my first post it had to be approved first. Shortly after I sent the post for review, I found the 2025 Blu-Ray Flash guide with everything I needed. Coupled with Shutter Encoder, I'm able to make quick work backing up my discs. It would appear that my Verbatim 43888 sh...

Issues With Verbatim 43888

Hello. I purchased MakeMKV and a Verbatim 43888 4K UHD drive under the impression that it would work out of the box to back up some of my Blu-Rays. It worked fine for regular Blu-Rays, but when I got to my first 4K UHD, it wouldn't work. This particular Blu-Ray is 4K UHD only, it doesn't come with a...
