Thanks. I'm curious to learn how you know it is an LG drive.

Thanks. I'm curious to learn how you know it is an LG drive.

Coopervid made that determination based on the drive platform of MT1959.

ASUS doesn't actually manufacture their own optical drives; they buy a drive from an OEM (LG in this case) and put their own logo and firmware on it.

ok, cool. So then I would flash the LG 5.25 desktop file in the firmware pack?

WH16NS60 1.02 is recommended.

Hello All, I have been reading and scrolled through allot posts, and other pages previously with provided links and this is rather confusing. So figured I just ask the question and provide the details as I know this mkv info is a bit different than others. Seems I have a Pioneer versus an LG or whatever etc.. Just want to clarify before biting the bullet for flashing.

Info as follows
Purchased an ASUS BW-16D1X-U off of AMAZON and installed a little over two weeks now. I'm having problems with quite a few DVD's and BD's not doing anything or just ejecting. Im assuming it is newer firmware's, and drivers since the last time I have attempted saving DVD/BD's as MP4 to File. I really have no desire to make physical backups as the disc collection I do have is in great shape and archived in an actual Large Gun Safe, along with my music.. They are all sleeve protected, and all the cases/boxes etc are all stored and organized in storage containers for review whenever the time comes.

Any HELP much appreciated
Jeff
