Good morning all.
I have been reading the forum for a couple hours a day for the last few days and I'm still not sure that I have the correct pieces in place to make this work.
My drive is listed in the supported firmware for LibreDrive usage. The Info pane in MakeMKV seems to show that I need to run patched firmware.
LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible (with patched firmware)
Drive platform: MT1959
Harware support: Yes
Firmware support: No
Firmware type: Original (patched version available)
Firmware version: 1.03
DVD all regions: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw data read: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw metadata read: Possible (with patched firmware)
Unrestricted read speed: Possible (with patched firmware)
I got the impression from the LibreDrive FAQ that OEM firmware is fine and that LibreDrive runs in drive RAM without the need to change OEM firmware.
I am currently attempting to convert "Faster" Bluray to MKV and I think the 1000's of errors are due to protection schemes. Although the disc plays fine in my player, attempting to extract the main title fails. I have ensured the disc surface is quite clean and scratch-free.
I can't seem to upload images, so I can't share any of the screen shots.
Thanks for any assistance.
