Thanks for the clarification. Is there any particular firmware version or similar LG drive model that would be worth looking for if LibreDrive support is the goal?

If LibreDrive support is not feasible for my drive, are there alternative solutions or software that could provide similar functionality?

echolinna, to be fair i reckon the honest answer is theres no proper software-only workaround... the whole point of LibreDrive is the drive itself doing the heavy lifting, so with an older drive youre stuck with whatever the stock firmware can manage (which for newer discs is alot less than youd hope). I hit the same wall last year and in the end just grabbed a used compatible drive off ebay for about thirty quid (checked the list on here first, bloody glad i did). Have a look at the seller section Coopervid linked, its definately cheaper than faffing about for weeks.
