Older Asus bc-12b1st issues
Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2025 1:47 am
Greetings,
A bit of a newb here. Built out an older Xeon workstation as a Jellyfin server with a fresh install of Ubuntu. Downloaded MakeMKV and was able to rip some DVDs with the internal Asus M-Disk drive. I mostly want to rip Blurays so I picked up an older Asus bc-12b1st and installed it. I can mount it in Ubuntu and explore files on the disk, but if I start MakeMKV with a disk in the Bluray drive it will keep trying to read the disc and MakeMKV will be stuck. The weird thing is, if I launch MakeMKV with a DVD in the non Bluray drive, it recognizes the disk. Then if I insert a Bluray in the bc12b1st drive MakeMKV will recognize the disc. Any tips on alleviating this situation?
Also, I believe I'm being riplocked at 2x on this drive. Is there a firmware update to remove this? Pretty dang slow.
Thanks for all your help,
Travis
