Hi, I followed your advice and ordered a Vinpower BDR 212V, which will arrive Monday. Any help or guidance to enable libredrive is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Just want to confirm that the drives sold here with flashed firmware will work fine in a dx2 on a Mac Studio running makemkv right?

Could I also get the instructions for the flasher?

TIA!

I have an internal 5.25" blu ray writer that works well for normal ripping.

I might be interested in upping that to a drive capable of ripping 4k discs. I'm in the UK. What's the best drive options for this? (both internal and external).

Thanks!
