On a rare occasion I use DVDfab, if I can't get MakeMKV to work, but I have another drive that I can use, albeit, not UHD.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
Please read the 1st post of this thread for the drives that will allow you to rip / backup your 4K discs. You can also buy any one drive from that list and put it in an external enclosure.fatez wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 7:53 pmGood evening to all the forum,

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
No, none of those Archgon's are compatible. Only the MD-8107S-U3YC-UHD is capable as it contains a BU40N drive inside.fatez wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 7:53 pmGood evening to all the forum,

But From Amazon : MD-8107S-U3YC-UHDB-S "Archgon Style UHD External 4K-Ultra HD Blue BD Player, Blu-ray BDXL Burner for PC USB 3.0 USB-C, M-Disc, Native 4K USB UltraHD BluRay Players, Protection Box, Alu Silver"
An Amazon user said that "The Style has an LG brand BD-RE BU40N, the Star a Pioneer BDR-UD04. The Star is better in compatibility and quietness."
So if it's true that the Style has the BD-RE BU40N I can rest assured that it's compatible with makemkv for backing up my 4K?

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
Thank you so much!
I succeeded and it works fine. (I'm trying right now to back up Blade Runner Uncut 4K).
So we can say that this MD-8107S-U3YC-UHDB-S works great.
Again thank you very much!

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
I just got a BH16NS40 / SVC:NS51, here's the information I get:
Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BH16NS40
Revision: 1.02
Serial number: (hidden)
Firmware date: 2115-12-11 14:36
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 68
LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: MT1959
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.02
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes
From this information, do I still have to flash in order to read UHD disks, or is it actually unneeded (as everything is marked OK)? I thought flashing was necessary for all UHD friendly drives, but I'm not sure how to interpret this report...
I don't have UHD disks yet (was waiting to have an enabled drive before I'd start buying), otherwise I'd already be testing of course.

Good to go for all that MakeMKV has to offer.

The 1st post in this thread has a list of known encrypted FWs (& MANY other things) . It remains the "definitive guide" on this topic.
Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
If you download and use SDFTool Flasher, it will do the hard work for you. You will need the latest version available from the dedicated thread.Zimonio wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 5:16 pmSorry if this has been asked but how do I find out if my drive has encrypted or unencrypted firmware?
