My Asus drive doesn't want to backup anymore
Posted: Fri Nov 14, 2025 8:43 pm
Hi guys,
I have a Libredrive-enabled Asus BW-16D1HT drive that I have been using for 3 years to rip blu-ray and UHD discs without any problem. The other day, I bought a new blu-ray box, and I wanted to do a full backup. I started ripping it, and suddenly my drive fails to process any disc. MakeMkv gives the following cryptic debug messages:
DEBUG: Code 2 at %P}?J-e]Ol/i|71$j_S/"HB:29393447
DEBUG: Code 0 at RI6ix%K#9rr'^TnC70`:29396345
DEBUG: Code 0 at M/^jIGN](l-/'v|q9ByP:29397426
Just to be sure, I tried to do a backup of a disc that was working the day before and it also failed, so it's not a disc-related issue. I was able to extract the content of my disc with ddrescue, but I still have to start the ripping process with MakeMkv to get the encryption part working, but it fails even before that.
For some reason, doing a regular rip (extracting the tracks as mkv files) works, it's only the backup operation that fails.
Does anyone have any idea of what's happening ? (I'm using the latest MakeMkv v1.18.2)
