It should work either way though. I've done it both ways without issues. Although I had Any DVD HD decrypt it before using MakeMKV.

Re: Increasing ripping speed

I'm seeing slightly faster ripping speeds from my Asus Drives since I removed them from my USB 2.0 enclosures. I had seen up to 30MB/s(240Mb/s) speeds in the USB 2.0 enclosures. But now attached to the SATA ports in a PC I've seen up to 36MB/s (288Mb/s) ripping speeds. But I've still only ripped aro...

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

Thanks again TeddyRaspin!! I got a second Asus BW-16D1HT. This time from Newegg. I flashed the firmware today, again using you instructions. And it is reading my UHD BDs without any issues. Just like the Asus I got from Amazon. The Newegg drive had a February 2018 Manufacture date just like my Amazo...

Re: Asus BW-16D1HT Firmware

I just ordered this drive from Amazon since they have a $25 rebate. You won't see that rebate. Trust me, already been there. I've received rebates from Asus in the past without any issue. Hopefully I'll get this rebate. Especially since I ordered a second Asus BW-16D1HT last night from Newegg. Whic...

I am asking this as I do not have a free slot available to plug in an internal drive and would like to connect an external USB3.0 drive and have MakeMKV rip directly to the external drive. Thanks! I'm using a USB 2.0 exter...

Re: Asus BW-16D1HT Firmware

I juts ordered this drive from Amazon since they have a $25 rebate. If I get lucky and it has firmware 1.02, am I able to use the clean 1.02 firmware and easily load it? Or do I need to go through the same convoluted process that you need to use for downgrading the firmware? I think you mean the 3....

Re: Anyone here have the Pioneer BDR-209D?

Hello, I had an IHBS112 and I was hoping for a faster reader so I got the Pioneer BDR-209D. Turns out that with makemkv, the BDR-209d is often slower than my old ihbs112 with makemkv but is faster with other apps. Last night I found out that BDR-209d couldn't read a disc properly with makemkv that ...
