1st, there is a MakeMKV update available: The new version 1.16.3 is available for download at http://www.makemkv.com/download/ & it appears you don't have a LibreDrive capable optical drive: Can't read AACS VID from disc - most likely current AACS host certificate is revoked by your drive Saved ...

So if my drive has a Drive Platform of MT1959, then it should support UHD/HDR discs? If MakeMKV reports: LibreDrive Information Status: Enabled Drive platform: MT1959 Firmware type: Original (unpatched) Firmware version: 1.02 DVD all regions: Yes BD raw data read: Yes BD raw metadata read: Yes Unre...

When I start MakeMKV, in the 'Info' section on the right side it says 'Status: Enabled' under 'LibreDrive Information'. I'm asking about changing the firmware because I'm unable to read the UHD/HDR discs. The request was intended to determine if the drive HW is too old for UHD support. IF that comp...

BTW, can I flash firmware from macOs or does this require Windows?

I was finally able to use SDFTool after installing a newer version of Microsoft .NET framework! The flashing worked and I am now able to read UHD disks. Thank you for your patience, much appreciated.

Sweet! Glad you got it sorted.

I have the OCW Mercury Pro, yes. That Is why I used this thread to get an answer. Hoping that would work. This enclosure has the LG BH16NS40 and the SDFTool does not recognize any drive exists. I am running Windows 10 64bit. Well, I'm almost out of ideas, but since you're running Win 10 :evil: , ha...

I also tried using the SDFTool but that cannot locate the OCW USB external drive, dont know how I can be so confused on what seems like such a simple task. :shock: This OWC enclosure? USB enclosures/sata adapters that work with optical drives and flashing: OWC Mercury Pro 5.25 case If not, are you ...

Tried to flash it with MK file: HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin and got a Updating failure #5 Using the modified ASUS ODD FW Changer You read right past this note... TWICE. Using the modified ASUS ODD FW Changer CAN'T work when starting from an encrypted FW... As the v1.05 (yo...

The flashing tool would not open unless I ran it as an administrator. The Asus firmware would not flash onto the drive. I ended up using the WH16NS60 1.02 firmware and it worked like a champ. Libre mode is enabled and I'm ripping 4K discs! Also, currently ripping Solo: A Star Wars Story with no pro...

Its an LG BH16NS40 drive, my concern is what firmware am I suppose to use? The only one I have seen that matches is the BH16NS40-NS50 firmware, but I dont believe that is what my drive is. At least I dont see the NS50 anywhere is system information. Recommended Firmware to flash for MakeMKV: WH16NS...

Sorry to piggy back on this thread, but I have an OWC external drive running 1.05 firmware that I am trying to downgrade. I cannot use the Self Update firmware software because I get a "Checksum mismatch" error, so i tried to use DosFlash64 with my windows 10 64bit OS and it does not reco...

Thank you! Is there a guide here or YouTube video on how to flash the drive and where to get the firmware? Flashing firmware on a Mac for LibreDrive I'm gonna guess this 2020 FW is encrypted, so the 'enc' switch is required for the 1st flash? From the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021...

Based on what you see is this drive 4K friendly? It looks like it, to me, but as this drive seems to be something new, could you check the following? - Is there a FW dump file in your MakeMKV data directory... dump_FW_[~20 hex characters].tgz? The data directory path is defined on the 'General' pre...

MakeMKV does report the desired 'Drive platform: MT1959'... a re-badged BH16NS40 per the 1st label in the next post.

thx for the info You're welcome. Just to follow up, you can manually capture the content of the Output (or Info) pane any time using the context menu... right-click on the output pane & select "Select all", right-click again & select "Copy". Paste text wherever. This can...
