15 days ago Been thinking of getting a Blu Ray Drive for some ripping

With the MakeMKV and LibreDrive, is the BDR-XD07UHD a pretty aggravation free drive as seems to be from what I am reading, or am I wrong?



been long time since I been in the ripping scene, DVD Decrypter, lg firmware riplock removing, days of Netflix and reauthor / compress to 4.5gig blanks so basically 10 to 15 years ago, I guess. So, I am old man now, only have a few blu ray over the years.

With the MakeMKV and LibreDrive, is the BDR-XD07UHD a pretty aggravation free drive as seems to be from what I am reading? No firmware hacking etc.? I basically have Vinegar Syndrome and other 80s made to blu movied, but A-team tv series having a new Blu release I am really itching to getting it and digitizing to plex library to replace my dvd rips, also it being UHD I guess I could rip some of the Vinegar Syndromes that are coming in Blu 4k now Cloak and Dagger for example and the beast master I already have.

I like most people build my machines in cases without 5.25 bays so external best for my occasional use.
