I tried this on windows and linux, but none of them work. I also tried the GUI tool, but the same error code pop up.

Any ideas on how to solve this issue? Thanks very much.

I'm pretty sure I've scoured this guide to the extent that I can, but I'm still running into some issues getting my Buffalo BRUHD-PU3-BK working with MakeMKV reliably in general and at all for ripping UHD discs.

Both the Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray I'm using to test the drive with are brand new and clean.

I have both USB cables plugged in via a USB hub. I don't know what either cable is for, as the instructions for the drive are entirely in Japanese.

It's my understanding that this drive is just a rebranded BU40N, so I've been trying various versions of BU40N firmware with nothing working consistently. The original post suggests using 1.3, but I've tried 1.3 and 1.4 and still have issues.

I'm using SDFtool Flasher v 1.2.3 and firmware for the BU40N from the MK pack. I've tried 1.3 and 1.4.

As far as I can tell, the firmware flashing seems to be successful each time I try it.

FYI, I have two of this same drive, and they're both exhibiting the same issues.

Here's what MakeMKV shows me when no disc is inserted:

Oddly, I also sometimes get a bunch of this beforehand:

Ripping the disc seems to work just fine, though. MakeMKV detects all the titles and pulls them from the disc without issue.

Much of the time, when inserting a UHD disc, MakeMKV claims that there's no disc inserted. Other times, I get something like this:

I have no idea what else to try. Can anyone help, whether it's by suggesting additional troubleshooting or potentially pointing me toward something I've missed?

I don't think the drive is getting enough power. You should not use a USB hub unless the hub has it's own power source.

Ok, I've changed my way to rip 4K Blu-ray and bought a drive from ASMCOM. So I can sell my drive without opening the enclosure before.
......

The drive arrived today. It's a BH16NS40 with firmware 1.02mk for WH16NS60.

Now, the first two 4K-BDs are ripped without any problems.

But in the MK-firmware file exists a version 1.03 for WH16NS60 and a 1.05 for BH16NS40 .... could it make sense to change to one of these younger versions? Is there any benefit?

Do not change anything, leave as is.

Kind Regards

Meanwhile, ripping without any problems. But again here is my question about a newer firmware for a faster ripping 4k discs? The maximum speed I get is about 8x, perhaps 34 MB/s. I need about 35 minutes to rip Turtles Out Of The Shadows for example. Is a booster possible or another faster drive available?

Whenever I try updating firmware via SDF, it goes through the process, and it says its successful, but MakeMKV still keeps reading out the revision of "BU13". I've tried flashing the firmware through both the Command Line in windows, and previously mentioned SDF. Again, in both times, they say they were successful, but the revision doesn't change. I've also tried the Downgrade Tool, but whenever I try to run it, It comes up with the error "Valid ATAPI Device Cannot Be Found!!! F/W Model is "BD-RE BH14NS40"". Not sure why it's doing that.

I'm kind of at my wit's end here, I'm not entirely certain what I'm doing wrong, and as far as I can tell, this reader should be able to be flashed. It has Unencrypted firmware, and is on the MT1959 Platform. I'm relatively certain the drive was made post 2015 (the Japanese is kinda hard to decipher lol). I just don't know if I'm missing a step, doing something wrong, etc. Thank you for any help.
