Possible to flash LG SP60NB50 external optical drive?

Post by dillfrei »

I have a couple LG SP60NB50 optical drives I tired to used with MakeMKV but getting the read protection errors. What can be done in terms of flashing these to allow them to start making MKVs from my DVD library?

I was just impatient. Once MakeMKV updated it was able to open the DVDs without issue and no modifications to the drives.

There’s no flashing for these. They should work with MakeMKV as is. The issues you are seeing have nothing to do with the drive’s firmware.
Cheers :D
