BDR-212UBK. Don't know if that's the "best" Pioneer drive but it works very well for me. It's slow...4x max for UHD. I think that's part of its charm, however, when it comes to these stupid problematic discs. I read all 3 of my Godfather discs with that drive and had zero problems.

I also have a Pioneer BDR-212UBK drive which has been working well.

It's set using registry entries so if you didn't explicitly set it, then it's disabled.

As for drives I only recommend bu40n or pioneer drives these days. Pioneer are slower but read very well. The bu40n is like a tank. It reads everything I've thrown at it except physically damaged discs.

Do you think the bu40n or any troubleshooting would get passed a scratch like this on my godfather 2 disk?

Physically scratched discs are almost always unrecoverable. Doesn't matter what drive you use. The data is so packed on these discs that a scratch renders it pretty useless most of the time.

Yeah, my wh16ns60 has been great thus far. Hopefully the replacement is better.

Read this:

viewtopic.php?f=19&t=22689
looked like that godfather disc was scratched. was able to rip a copy. is keeping the read speed unlimited going to introduce errors in ripping w/the wh16ns60? right now the value is set to 0, not 0=99, but when i open up makemkv, unrestricted read speed is listed as "yes". What do i change the registry value to if i want to go back to the default?

Delete the registry entry if you want to default it. That's the easiest way.

so in windows, in registry editor, delete the "speed_HL-DT-ST...." file? will it recreate a new file when makemkv starts back up?

Just delete the data in that string. You don't have to delete the key itself. Just make the value blank.

Weird. I did that and it still shows unrestricted read access. I also uninstalled makemkv, deleted the makemkv registry files and reinstalled and it's still there. I guess it'll always be on. Hope it doesn't lead to more read errors.

As you saw in the other thread it'll always tell you the capability is there but it's not activated if the key isn't set.
