LG BE14NU40

Post by hedehede81 »

Hello guys, I just got an LG BE14NU40 external burner and here is the output:
Drive Information
OS device name: G:
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BE14NU40
Revision: 1.01
Serial number: K99FCJF1919
Firmware date: 2114-06-25 14:41
Bus encryption flags: 1F

LibreDrive Information

Firmware type: Original (unpatched)

Question is, do I need to do anything further? Like a firmware update? What kind of discs can this drive rip? I heard it is not possible to rip UHD?

Code: Select all

Drive platform: MT1939
That bit means the internals of your drive are an older platform that isn't capable of ripping UHDs. It'll probably rip DVDs and Blu-rays however.

If you want to rip UHDs, you'll need a different drive. UHD capable drives will show MT1959 for the drive platform.
