Can't find SDF.BIN

#1 Post by Theozefrench » Mon Aug 03, 2026 10:15 am

Hi all,

A few years ago I bought a BU40N drive and flashed it so it was compatible libredrive.
It unfortunately died during the last heatwaves, so I bought another BU40N drive and am trying to flash it again.
When following the MacOS tutoriel from this site it mentions a SDF.BIN file that should be downloaded either from https://makemkv.com/sdf.bin or from https://www.makemkv.com/svq/sdf.bin. Unfortunately neither link work any more.

Can any one of you gurus point me to the right place to download it, or be kind enough to send it to me ? The search function unfortunately doesn't work with three letters words and I couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance for your time and help !
Thierry

Hello Thierry,
I've tried the first link in your post under Brave browser (Ubuntu Linux) and it says Error 525. But if you do retry using the same windows, it downloads.
So try it ;-)
Also this may show that someone has tampered the website and that the tampering is somewhat visible.
Hope this helps.
