Ok..
Well, I thought I was doing all you said to do, correctly:
I put in the 4k Godz movie in 1st, and then opened MKV, hit the "BACKUP" tab, and 1/2 way through, I get the "BWoD" 'Blue Windows of Death'!!
What am I doing wrong>? I have, now, 1.8 TB on the "J:" drive. Do I need more space?

Really 'confused-as-all-Hell'
Did MakeMKV stop ripping half way through? If so, what did the log window at the bottom say? Copy and paste the log comments here.

What is J drive? Is that an external HDD or SSD? If so, make sure it if formatted as NTFS.
Cheers :D

Yes, that is what it seemed to do.. Am I supposed to "Back-Up" 1st, before hitting the "MKV Folder" tab?
"J:" is my 2TB drive that I will be using to set up the MKV Folder, needed for the MKV process.

I have to be quick to "Catch" anything, as I get the BSoD when it says it is copying files, 1/2 way thru..

I had to "Capture" this, and within seconds (saying it is copying, and after it Decrypts..) I get the BSoD, and the computer restarts. On the full screen, if You can't see, it says Elapsed 10sec. and on the bottom bar, 22sec

I killed All that is on my "J:" drive, and looks to already be formatted as NTFC (would I still need to Format?), so What/Why am I Still getting the BSOD this time, when I opened up MKV, it completed the Decrypt/Copying, and as soon as I tagged the MakeMKV button, screen went all 'KaBLUEy' on me!?

Do I Still Need the Latest JAVA installed? To aid in any firmware updates?

I also read somewhere that I might need to install the "64-bit with Fall Creators Update 2017 Oct. update" on my PC, which I have, is the Win 10.5 (enterprise ver.) I have no idea, if that should even be used..>>

Would it be helpful to give you a 'SPECCY' readout of my Computer set-up?? ..just fishin' here..

The Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide recommends WH14NS40 on any Firmware directly to > WH16NS60 1.02MK

After you flash your drive to WH16NS60 1.02MK does the LibreDrive Information section on MakeMKV's first screen say the status is Enabled?
Turns out that the comment that I saw right after I left my comment said to another person to enable internet access on MakeMKV and that was the solution.

Hey all! So do we have any list somewhere of dvd players out there on Amazon that would rip 4k movies? I'm seeing a few listed, but people mentioning that recent updates have removed the capability. I'm still relatively new to this game so anything that is "plug and play" would be great for me. Thanks all!
Nvm, I missed drive names are all listed at the beginning.... thanks.

You can get the latest free beta key from there everytime it expires. FYI, there is usually around a week between beta key expiry and the new beta key being added.


From all of your jumbled posts, I cannot make out what your issue is. It sounds more like system issues, not drive/MakeMKV issues.

Let's just start from scratch. Can you please copy/paste again, the text from the MakeMKV drive info and LibreDrive Info sections. Also tell us what type of drive "J" is and how it is connected to your PC.
Cheers :D

Hi all,

Hoping that I can pick someones brain as I've just purchased an LG WH14NS40 - checked on MakeMKV that it's MT1939 which it is, but when using the tool, it states that it isn't a MT1939 platform, see screenshot below, any ideas on the best way to get around this to get the correct firmware on it?

If you look at the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide you'll notice right at the top is says your drive platform needs to be MT1959. SDFtool Flasher isn't flashing your drive because it is NOT the MT1959 platform; it is saving your from yourself. If you do flash your drive, you'll brick it and it'll be unusable.
