Re: Is my WH16NS60 just plain junk?

Always clean UHD discs with liquid soap and warm water. Then dry with a microfiber cloth as used to clean glasses. This applies also to brand new discs out-of-the-box. Tired of that answer, as its just plain lazy posting, don't bother posting, been there done that, cleaned discs, same BS problems. ...

Re: Is my WH16NS60 just plain junk?

So here I am, not even a year later, and I've started having several 4K discs fail to read on my WH16NS60 drive. Just plain fails to mount them in the OS and the drive shows empty. I'm so done with this crap. Picked up The Last Starfighter 4K Remaster, and it wouldn't read the disc at all. Replaced ...

Re: Unable to access mapped drive

So, I ran across this issue recently when I switched from the Mac version, to the Windows version. Nothing against the Mac version, its just a switched up the system my BR's are connected to. I couldn't see any mapped drives, however, I was able to access them via UNC path. If you don't know what a ...

Re: Is my WH16NS60 just plain junk?

I may look into a Pioneer drive. Before you posted I had already bought a new WH16NS60, this time with a 4yr Asurion plan for when it will eventually go out. But new drive has arrived, so far, I've ripped 2 of many unrippable discs that would fail catastrophically before. So this WH16NS60 appears to...

Re: Is my WH16NS60 just plain junk?

That is extremely disappointing to here that the general level of quality on these drives has dropped so far considering their cost. I've had DVD drives and DVD burners that were approaching 10+ years, and the only reason I stopped using them was so I could replace them with Blu-Ray drives. I bet if...

Re: Is my WH16NS60 just plain junk?

Not being stubborn, I DID clean them, it just made no difference. The sheer number of discs that fail to rip with hash check, and report AV Sync or Corruption issues is far too high. Hence, the WH16NS60 is just junk and I don't think I'd want to replace it with another one. MakeMKV v1.17.2 darwin(ar...

Re: Is my WH16NS60 just plain junk?

I've never had to clean the discs, and they have not a spot of imperfection. I can't see this many discs in a row failing. And I have cleaned them but I should not have to clean them if they are spotless. I cut many repetitive lines out of the log. The source file '/BDMV/STREAM/00000.m2ts' is corrup...

Re: Is my WH16NS60 just plain junk?

They are clean as a whistle, not a spec of anything anywhere, brand new out of the case. There is literally nothing to clean. One disc, maybe.

But 7 discs in a row having issues? I can't imaging its the discs with that kind of failure rate.

Re: Top Gun: Maverick

Top Gun ended up ripping fine, despite the messages. Though afterwords I did upgrade to the 1.03MK firmware, didn't help. But now I"ve got the same type of crap on a new 4k disc. and considering the number of discs throwing errors like this, I can only assume I've got a crappy drive, which is f...

Re: Top Gun: Maverick

Try WH16NS60 1.03 but I'm not confident. It should read with a Pioneer UHD drive. Let me know by PM if you want to consider tht route. The 2nd disc did eventually rip via Backup > then Rip individual MKV out of the backup. But still a bunch of AV sync errors on the same m2ts's. Haven't watched the ...

Re: Top Gun: Maverick

Getting a ton of AV Sync issues. More than I'm comfortable letting it finish ripping and hoping for a valid movie. First disc had tons of similar errors, ended up returning it as a non-working disc. Only had the drive for less than a year now. Rather frustrating. I don't know if its copy protection ...

Re: Asus BW-16D1HT Firmware

Well, doubley not pleased right now. The new Asus went out. Now does the same thing as my original drive that had been a few years old. Pop a disc in, any disc, CD, DVD, BR, 4K UHD, doesn't matter. About 30 seconds later it will either stop reading and say no disc, or spit the tray back out with the...

Re: Asus BW-16D1HT Firmware

Gotta say I'm not quite happy with my replacement BW-D1HT. I bought one back in 2015, it was firmware 3.0 and ripped right out of the box. Speeds were fast. I'd se 25-35MB/s all the time. Sounded like a jet spinning the disc up. Unfortunately the drive stopped reading discs. Something to do with the...

ASUS BW-16D1HT Reliability?

Just wondering if anyone else had one of these drives fail on them. I recently had the drive go out. Ripped a bluray (not even 4k), and went to pop in the next disc and it chattered for a bit and eventually spit the disc back out. After checking to see if it was still under warranty and finding out ...
