Hi,
first post..hopefully this part of the forum is at least half correct to post my question to.
I want to prevent to dig deeper and deeper into a topic only to recognize, that the hardware
I bought does not work with my setup. Therefore I want to check whether all is prepared correctly
before a newbie (me) tries to dig into this topic.
My setup:
Gentoo Linux
32GB RAM, dual channel
AMD Ryzen 3000 (Matisse B0) [Zen 2] (no overclocking at all...)
NVidia GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (8GB VRAM)
I downloaded makemkv for linux from the link into the forum.
Compilation and installation of both package: No errors.
I bought a VERBATIM 43888 from Amazon.
After starting makemkv it displays the following:
Drive Information
OS device name: /dev/sr0
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BU40N
Revision: 1.05
Serial number: MODP7L91853
Firmware date: 2124-04-23 13:47
Bus encryption flags: 17
LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959
What I /think/ (read: not knowing...) this means is:
Currently the drive is not Libredrive conform.
It needs flashing another firmware to be Libredrive enabled.
Is this correct?
And:
What kind/quality of drive/platform I got here really?
Is it worth keeping?
Any info, criticism, hint, .... is very appreciated!
