Puppet Master 12-Blu-Ray Collection - #9 PM Axis of Evil

[sirmeowthius]

I know this forum is for MakeMKV only, but figured id mention a LibreDrive issue with one movie out of the 12 in the collection

Ripping through the Puppet Master 12 - Blu-Ray Collection (Full Moon prints) and got stuck on the 9th Blu-ray for Axis of Evil.

I have 2 of the ASUS BW-16D 1X-U bluray M-Disc (BDXL) compatible External USB drives. One is flashed to a BW-16D 1HT for LibreDrive and the other is stock.

The flashed one wouldnt recognize PM Axis of Evil when it was inserted. Tried 4 times and it just kept saying no disc inserted. I even have the keydb in the .makemkv folder which didnt help.

Swapped to the stock ASUS drive, loaded up perfectly fine and just finished ripping it. Reinserted it into the Flashed drive after giving it a break and still doesnt recognize it but I was able to continue ripping other BD and UHD movies without issue. The quality of the ripped video is fine and more impressive than i was expecting.

I understand the flash is not perfect but wasnt expecting a junk reprint BD to not work. Anyone come across this with a LibreDrive Enabled unit?

I did and so did thaelis, with the French Blu-ray known as "JO". Please see here for the full discussion : viewtopic.php?t=41873

Here it wasn't so much a firmware/LibreDrive issue as it was "those discs are awful and 6 out of 7 PC Blu-ray drives failed to read them", though.

It could also be your case, as well - sometimes a drive doesn't like a disc and the disc will work fine with another drive, even if it's another drive of the same model.
