LG WP50NB40 DVD ripping chapter problem
Posted: Fri Aug 23, 2024 6:40 pm
Hi,
This is my 1st posting to the forum so I hope this falls within the forum's protocol.
I bought an LG WP50NB40 drive from Amazon.com last week along with receiving two 2-disc King Crimson sets, The Power to Believe and The ReconstruKction of Light. These sets have a CD and DVD with the DVD containing 5.1 audio mixes. I ripped the DVD discs for use with my Plex server using MakeMKV. I had to use Administrator mode as I was getting "Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST: ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK" messages otherwise.
So, after ripping the 5.1 mixes of the two discs with no error messages, I find that the chapters seem empty except for the last one and no chapter names are being pulled from the DVDs. I tried playing the MKV files in VLC but it closes the files after a short start. I extracted the chapters using Music Media Helper 7 and deleted all but the last chapter which has all the content and plays fine in VLC but now has no chapter content. I've tried ripping these discs on a PC and a Mac and the result is the same.
NOTE; With the CDS, I get "Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST: ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK" messages regardless of using administrator mode or not so I wonder if I still have to do something with the firmware for this to work. The CD tracks play fine using Apple Music so it seems to be a MakeMKV issue here and not with the drive.
MakeMKV says the source for my drive is BD-RE HL-DT-ST BD-RE WP50NB40 1.03 SIM22212L4920. The firmware date is 2121-07-08 16:09 with 17 Bus encryption flags. LibreDrive Information status" Possible, not yet enabled and Drive platform" MT1959.
So, do I need to modify the firmware for these issues to disappear or is it something else? I ask as I don't want to change the firmware if it's a drive defect as I will need to return this back to Amazon.com and I'm concerned that messing with the firmware might negate my return.
I'd appreciate any advice even if it's to buy another drive instead. Thank you.
