USB drive for using DVDFab / AnyDVD with UHD disks.

[MrPenguin]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a USB drive that DVDFab and/or AnyDVD could use to extract keys from UHD disks please? I already have a very nice Pioneer XD08 which is compatible with LibreDrive, but I'd like to be able to procure at least some of my own keys locally too.

I've already emailed Asmcom (as my local provider), but they're temporarily "out-of-office".

Thanks.

I would not call key.db producing your own keys sure it might have some a week or 2 before makemkv.

Your xd08 will already work with anydvd if it does libredrive.

For dvdfab they only support the old junky Asus and LG drives and I don't recommend them at all anymore.
But if you really want UHD support for them you need that.

AFAIK MakeMKV needs a VUK, but I only need the unit keys to play a UHD directly using mpv. (LibreDrive obviously needs to be activated, and I don't get Java menus this way either.)

My goal here would be to add something to the public key database myself rather than waiting for someone else to do that work for me.

Bu40n is the only drive to recommend for what you want to do. Clearly you want to run findvuk and as mentioned you need an LG or Asus drive for that. I use my bu40n for that process.

Thanks. Did you need to flash this drive with different firmware, or did it work for you "out of the box"? What would the "best" firmware for this drive be? Is there a "bad" firmware version beyond which this drive must never be upgraded, as with Pioneer drives?

Hmm: It looks like Asmcom sells BU40N drives already with suitable firmware and USB enclosures . But what's the difference between the "DE" and "MK" firmwares?

All LG firmware so far is flashable for now.
De is original fw that was modified to downgrade a drive it has a 1 byte change.

Mk fw has more downgrade as well as encryption checks bypassed

Most new drive will require you to flash mk fw first then you could go to De for wider ripper compatibility
