What year? What does MakeMKV say about it, especially about its UHD capabilities?

The BW-16D1H-U has changed drives over the years. Early ones aren't UHD. Later ones need to have new firmware.

1. Your drive needs to be flashed with appropriate Libre Drive firmware to enable UHD disc ripping.
2. UHD discs are encrypted from factory. The Queen disc will be rippable with MakeMkv once the decryption key is created by MakeMkv. You can aid the process by sending the disc dump file to svq@makemkv.com once you get the disc. The dump file is required by MakeMkv to create the decryption key.

i flashed my ASUS BW-16D1H-U Pro with DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK.bin and now its not working, anyone can help ?

How stupid! You should have waited for advice. Maybe the recover option helps but it's complicated and you nedd to follow exactly the steps.

[Coopervid]

Try this and follow the video with recovery:

Pick the firmware that you flashed.

Then pick any ASUS / LG firmware for 5,25" drives. WH16NS60 1.02 is recommended.

You got a penalty for NOT READING. DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN.

but there is no bin file for ASUS BW-16D1H-U Pro i tried recorvery with everybbin file and it didnt worked

[szymixsiorek]

anyone could recommend any bluray 4k drive available on polish amazon that could be flashed correctly with any bin file from All You Need Firmware Pack (MartyMcNuts)?

could be Archgon Premium Aluminum External USB 3.0 UHD 4K Blu-Ray Writer Super Drive for PC and Mac ?
