Out of curiosity, what do you do with the ISO? Do you have a player that plays ISOs?bachelorbob wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 5:05 pmI have successfully copied (to an ISO image) the film '1917' from a UHD disc…

Re: Attempting to flash in macOS
Just joined up to say thanks for this post. I just flashed successfully a new Asus BW-16D1HT on my Mac in less time than it took to register for this forum.

Re: Attempting to flash in macOS
It can be mounted, which then appears as a virtual disc that the Mac OS does not differentiate from a physically mounted disc, or just played as a file. Which method depends on which player application you use. I had been using Blu-ray Player Pro v3.3.20, but I'm trying some others at the moment (including VLC).
Any UHD is a lot of data to dump out of my Thunderbolt (mini-DisplayPort 1.2?), via a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI cable adapter, then 4K HDMI cable to 4K TV. The Thunderbolt port specs up to 4096×2160 (4K) @ 60Hz (10 Gbps), so the only limit *should* be how fast my SSD can read the ISO. Will need a fresh restart and no other applications running to see if I can watch without any hiccups / frame drops.
I guess the short answer is, my MacBook Pro is my player. Just it, a 4K TV, a 5.1 soundbar, and cables.

You must have a preference for accessing menus and whatever special features there are on the disc?
Personally, I find getting rid of the menus to be a benefit. I prefer to rip the movie to a .mkv file and leave the rest behind. Some stuff I further compress to 10-bit HEVC or h.264 files. In any case, getting down to just the movie, no menus, no warnings, no trailers, no junk, is my preference.

My goal is an exact copy of the disc, minus the physical disc (and UOPs, so I can skip intros, previews, etc.).dcoke22 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 2:56 amYou must have a preference for accessing menus and whatever special features there are on the disc?

Re: Attempting to flash in macOS
Is the sdf.bin part of it necessary? I see in other instructions/strings that the add.bin part isn't in it. I'm a noob so just curious and asking.
Re: Attempting to flash in macOS
viewtopic.php?p=72110#p72110 You need sdf.bin. What are you looking at that suggests you don't need it?

Re: Attempting to flash in macOS
To make sure I don't brick my drive flashing...So I have a Lg WH16NS40 with firmware revision 1.05 encrypted. So when I flash using makemkv do I flash the WH16NS40 1.05mk using the encrypted method and then flash again using the unencrypted method to put on the recommended WH16NS60 1.02MK OR do I flash the WH16NS60 1.02MK right away using the encrypted method. Thanks in advance.

Re: Attempting to flash in macOS
You flash directly to WH16NS60 1.02mk as the guide says less steps that way

Re: Attempting to flash in macOS
I assume from the guide that the WH16NS 1.02MK is the better firmware to end up with. What are the differences? Or is there a better one to end up with?Billycar11 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 7:50 pmYou flash directly to WH16NS60 1.02mk as the guide says less steps that way
