Hello there!
I'm fairly new to MakeMKV and am over a month into ripping my DVD/Bluray collection. I've been having a lot of success with the bluray drive I bought, which is an LG BP60NB10. This drive straight out of the box was able to rip a vast majority of the disks thus far. For the disks that kept failing, I read that a firmware update would help things and I was apprehensive to mess with the firmware out of fear of bricking the drive. So, I found an ASUS SBW-06D5H-U and ordered it because it was advertised that it wouldn't need any firmware updates. This drive was also failing on the same disks that were failing with the LG drive and it looks like it also needs a firmware update. I was able to update the firmware on the LG drive and now it says that the Libredrive is now enabled and I was able to rip some of those failing disks, but I still have a stack of disks that are failing. I'd like to try updating the firmware on the ASUS drive but cannot find where to download the firmware or any documented steps. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm running a combination of Win10/11 on different computers used for ripping, I don't know if that matters or not.
Thank you in advance!
