Re: UHD drives
Just released version of DVDFab 11.0.1.5 has a UHD Drive Tool. Has anyone used this to downgrade the firmware? Just curious to find out if their claim is true, I've with no intention of buying it since there are numerous post here/everywhere than can be easily followed.

I've been copying original UHD discs for about 2 months now with MakeMKV and a LG-WH14NS40 (svc NS50) 1.00 and thinking for getting spares via eBay/Amazon/etc.
It takes < 1 hour to make a full backup.

Re: UHD drives
Well, I'm just glad that I'm not one of the people who've purchased from you, they are way overpriced. Only non-tech savy person don't know how easy it is, why spend the extra cash to you when they can DIY. It doesn't take any effort to downgrade the FW. Save your money folks, follow the instructions previously posted.... it's really not that hard to follow. Looks like you're afraid of losing business selling those burners you've accumulated (hoarded) with downgraded/crossflashed firmwares from someone using this utility and selling them cheaper.Has anyone been dumb enough to pay over $100 for a so called tool that gives you no additional functionality than if you were to read Teddy's instructions, that was released an hour ago? Probably not.
I hope you mean "making digital backups onto hard drive" when you say "copying original UHD discs". Original as opposed to what? LOL
Have you considered buying and using a faster drive and skipping the whole Ebay adventure?
Anyone considering paying over a hundred dollars for that tool needs to get their head examined. I'll sell you a brand new pre flashed drive for less than that. Hell the going rate for a drive flashing is $25 though I keep doing freebies.
I got the LG WH14NS50 (SVC NS50) 1.00 a lot cheaper than your asking price ($45 vs. your $105). Faster than what and why would I care? I don't backup a lot of my UHD/BD, but it's nice to know than I can when I need to. And yes I meant backups to a HDD.
I was asking the questions I posted since I was just curious if that utility actually works as claimed, nothing else. Oh, please don't assume I haven't read all the threads on how to downgrade, they've been posted since late 2017 IIRC.

Re: UHD drives
Howdy yall
I'm new to this game, kind of, at least recently.
I was going through the thread and wasn't sure if the beginning thread was still accurate and with all that I read I was hoping someone can clear something up for me.
I don't run a PC tower but a laptop, therefore I wouldn't normally go after an internal. I know there are ways to adapt things but was wondering if there are external USB drives that can read UHD.
I apologize if I missed anything, just want to be sure before I take the plunge and have a turd on my hands.
What do you guys think? Thank you for all of the help in advance

They are quite expensive though. You could buy an internal drive and a USB enclosure to make it external for less than the cost of an actual external.

Re: UHD drives
Well you guys are the experts. Can you hook me up with a model of both?

You guys were by far and away the most prevalent that I could find and most recommended at that.
So just to make sure I understand correctly. I get an internal, put it in enclosure, connect via usb, don't update firmware, and I should be good? If there is a weird firmware then I flash to something different?
I think that was what I gathered from all the reading.
Thank you again for the assistance your knowledge is much appreciated.
Re: UHD drives
Once it's in the USB enclosure you won't need to worry about flashing the firmware because you can't.
Make sure that it's on the right firmware before it's in the enclosure and never worry about it again after.

Re: UHD drives
Yep getting an internal 5.25 blu-ray drive and install it in an external enclosure, either the Vantec or OWC brand would be good. Best the drive has its own power supply not dependent on the computer. There are members in this community who gladly provide their services on 4K UHD Friendly Drives with the correct Firmware and you can reach out to them belowripnrun wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 11:11 pm

I will get a hold of them and see what they want for a ready to go. Normally I would do myself but newborn work blah blah blah. If it isn't a horrible up- charge someone just take my money already.
Anyways thanks. I'm definitely old school looking to play again. Brings back memories.

The BE16NU50 is long extinct, but supported by MakeMKV.
The BP60NB10 is still in production, not supported by MakeMKV, but I have something put together that looks and behaves almost exactly like that drive AND works with our wonderful program.
Please email me at alexcoluzzi32@gmail.com or text/call 650-7201869 I am at your service.
the MakeMKV product far superior when compared to the competition AND

Re: UHD drives
Once WH16NS60 and latest 1.01 firmware is able to rip UHD discs (which seems imminent), would you recommend it or the BW-16D1HT? I don't use the drive for anything other than ripping discs with MakeMKV.Billycar11 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 5:32 amLG WH14NS40 downgrade
