Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2024
Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
They're the same segment map, so they're the same movie. Does one of the titles seem to just be English and Japanese and the other title is English and other languages?
For Disney movies, it is often the case that the title that's 00800.mpls is the English one and the other titles are other languages, but G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) is a Paramount release, so that rule of thumb doesn't necessarily apply.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
it has more or less the same languages, and the same subtitles, and also the codecs.,
ok , maybe disc 2 has some language less, subtitle less, but it seems the same otherwise.
i doubt that there are 2 files with each 60gb present.
the download of newest makemkv. has made the error "scsi etc." go away!

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
Look at the "source file name". On BD/UHD discs, you have both playlist files (.mpls) and the actual video filles (m2ts). Now, often a movie consists of multiple movie (m2ts) files, therefore, you should only be focusing on the playlist files (.mpls) as these contain the complete segment map and also contain any chapter information.kapqa wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 12:10 pmthanks,
it seem function well
it give error "scsi error - illegal request: copy protection key exchange failure - key not present' occured while issuing SCSI command A30..00xx............../6E3008AF
when entering and ripping first UHD movie, would process 60 GB File in around 40 Minutes which is fast, albeit in rather loud fashion.
Now my question for Film Aficionados:
This UHD has practically (according to MakeMKV) 2 titles, both are 58.9GB, and seem to contain the same files. Why is that so?
I have ripped only title 1.
Code: Select all
Title information Name: G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra Source file name: 00800.[u]mpls[/u] Duration: 1:57:59 Chapters count: 20 Size: 58.9 GB Segment count: 1 Segment map: 70 File name: G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra_t00.mkv
Code: Select all
Title information Name: G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra Source file name: 00070.[u]m2ts[/u] Duration: 1:57:59 Size: 58.9 GB Segment count: 1 Segment map: 70 File name: G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra_t01.mkv
Cheers

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
thank you, understood.
on first page it is written
"The recommended drives are Pioneer's they are much better than Asus and LG but sadly they cant be flashed currently you will have to buy ones with old firmware from sellers for now."
In what way are Pioneer much better, when atleast according to information on page 1 they seem aswell slower?
(at least that is suggestion one gets if consulting the section "drives that currently work are" below the recommendation for Pioneer drives.

More reliable get less read errors on hard to read discs
They don't constantly die
They dont eat discs
They don't need to be rebooted because they get in weird modes
They are quieter
There's more too but yeah I would even consider an LG or Asus drive as long as pioneers are available with old fw

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
would that mean that if one buy one of those 5 5.25 listed here as Bluray Drive (2 of them mentioned on page1 if i am not mistaken)
https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA ... ter+Drives
it would be difficult to Flash them because of the newer Firmware they operate?
(previous models seem list quite some more models from Pioneer)

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
I have all 3 of them. My recommendation - go with the Asus.kiranmehta wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 2:35 pmHi I am from India, I have been reading a lot of this forum and gotten very interested in ripping blurays but there are not a lot of options available here in India and those which are available are almost double the price if not more.
Initially I was interested in the latest pioneer drives (BDR xd08-umb-s) but due to firmware support for makemkv unavailable stopped pursuing it. I currently have shortlisted following options for me here in India -
lg wh14ns40 (rupees 11492 i.e USD - )
lg wh16ns40 (rupees 11492 i.e USD - )
ASUS BW-16D1HT (rupees 11492 i.e USD - )
I am leaning towards Asus as i have heard that it handles large disks well without read errors. Also Lg drive i am not sure of the svc version as the seller on amazon is not able to provide this info.
Any recommendations apart from the above are welcome

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
I have problem with my ASUS BW-16D1HT disconnecting when it tries to seek on regular Blu-ray disc and fails. I tried crossflashing it with BH16NS60 1.02 and WH16NS58 1.V5 trying to seek FW that will work better on it. Still have no success. Has anyone encountered this problem? (probably yes and I just can't find the answer)

My name needs to be added back to the list of approved sellers and should have never been removed.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
@billycar11
I was reading through your whole guide and there was a stop sign at least until I posted my question here. There is an excerpt from your guide which pertains to my drive.
"The newer OEM firmwares cannot be flashed easily due to the additional downgrade checks implemented by the drive/firmware manufacturer. If your drive has one of these firmwares, and there is no MK version of the same firmware/drive model or higher number, you will have to sidegrade to Asus 3.10MK (for compatible ASUS 5.25 drives ONLY) or (LG WH16NS60 1.02MK for compatible LG 5.25) or (BU40N 1.03MK LG Slim drives ONLY) respectively. (Note: MK firmware is available for firmware versions mentioned above.) Keeping the flashing of firmware in these scenarios within their respective family of drives/firmware (e.g ASUS firmware for ASUS drives and LG firmware for LG drives) at this stage of flashing. Then afterwards if that initial flash is successful you can move to different firmware respectively if you would like a different and compatible firmware version for the drive in question.
As previously stated in this guide. DO NOT crossflash between ASUS and LG firmware for slim drives like the LG BU40N for example. It will brick your drive. You’ve now been warned twice within this guide regarding this."
Will I still be able to flash my drive? I am including all the info off the label.

@billycar11
I went back reread the post last night and flashed according to this.
BP50NB40 to > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK then to > BP60NB10 1.02MK or 1.00MK
NB52 to > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK with enc > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK with bootloader/full flash >BP60NB10 1.00_HBD from Marty download/file.php?id=2143
It was successful. I'm assuming that's all I need to do.
Only thing I'm seeing now is serious buffer issues if I attempt playback and I'm thinking thats because the damn drive is usb 2.0 or if its something with the disk I made yesterday. And tbh the disc I made initially was before the flash.
