Re: The Abyss 4K

I'm lucky to rip all 3 discs (The Abyss/Aliens/True Lies) from my Target purchase successfully without any issues. I used the Pioneer BDR-S13UBK that I purchased from Billy Carlson (viewtopic.php?f=20&t=17831) and this drive has been working flawlessly for me.

Pioneer BDR-S13J-X from Japan

I bought a Pioneer BDR-S13J-X from Japan off Ebay from a seller in Japan after confirming the manufacture date with the seller that it was prior to December 2022. The drive arrived today and unfortunately the manufacture date is listed as July 2023. When using makemkv, I see that the drive is not Li...

Re: Verbatim 34888 is super

Another ringing endorsement for the Verbatim 43888 that I picked up from amazon germany for USD 122.11 including expedited shipping. It came to my house in 5 days via DHL express. Worked right out of the box ripping Oppenheimer at 4x read speed without any firmware modifications.

3D Full Frame MVC player

Looking to get a media player that will play the 3D Full frame MVC rips. I do have a Nvidia Shield but it can only play Half-SBS 3D files. Any recommendations for a good player that will play the full frame rips. All the old players seem to have disappeared as 3D is not very mainstream nowadays. Tha...

Re: UHD (Official) Friendly Drive - Archgon MD-8107S-U3-UHD (Powered by LG BU40N)

@metroplex2k7 .. these slim drives are NOT UHD friendly drives and there is no firmware available to downgrade them to UHD friendly drives. Hence they wont work with AnyDVD HD .. these however work great with MakeMKV when flashed with the appropriate firmware as mentioned on this thread.

Re: MakeMKV 1.15.4

So I have the 2019 Nvidia Shield Pro ..to extract Dolbyvision from DV discs all I need is this 1.15.4 version of MakeMKV and no other program is required? Is there a definitive guide for correctly backing up a Dolbyvision UHD disc that someone can point me to? Thanks a lot!

Re: 100% Firmware Downgrade for ASUS BW-16D1HT and LG BH16NS

OK, losing the will to live now. I've got a Asus BW16D1HT, firmware 3.02 (Jan 2018) which doesn't see any UHD disc whatsoever. Followed the downgrade instructions and all OK but I think I must be 'copying' incorrectly because the drive is a brick when I've finished. I can re -write my dumped firmwa...

Re: Asus BW-16D1HT Firmware

So I emailed ASUS about it and they're now telling me that I should receive the rebate in the next 14 days. We'll see how that goes. That would be nice if they did ship it to me! I keep forgetting to send this in. I've got at least six lying around so I suppose if the first time failed I could try ...

Re: UHD - Thor: Ragnarok - Correct Playlist

What do you guys do for audio for this? Suppose I want just the atmos track since I copy the mkv files to a usb stick and play them through my x800 player or st5000 sound bar (both Sony products). I've not yet learned how to name the audio tracks, not sure if it can be done just using the mkv file ...

Re: What are your playback setups?

Plex Server running on my iMac. Now Infuse app 5.7 on my ATV 4K has native integration of Plex Server, so just pointing to my Plex Server on the Infuse app. Audio sent uncompressed LPCM to my Denon AVR-X2400H connected to my Vizio P65 display. So far things are working great. Hopefully ATV 4K will ...

Re: BW-16D1HT Not reading UHD

If you do not have access to a PC to downgrade the firmware, you best bet would be to return this drive and get one from a forum member who sells these.

Re: BW-16D1HT Not reading UHD

I mean as far as the hashed keys are concerned I am simply putting the text file of the hashed keys in the folder where MakeMKV has designated the data directory right? In my case the data directory is "D:/Program Files (x86)/MakeMKV" so I just have the txt file of the hashed keys in ther...
