Re: Bridge on the River Kwai

A little tight on cash right now, so I'll give that a shot. Any tips on disassembling a drive? I'm handy but I've never done that specifically. https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=20569#p81082 Thanks. No luck unfortunately (although it does sound like it’s getting closer to mount...

List of BD-XL titles

Hey guys, Curious to know how to tell if a disc is BD-XL, and if there are some popular titles out there which are known to be Bd-XL. Troubleshooting my ASUS BW-16D1HT Drive which has now failed to rip two copies of Bridge on the River Kwai, which I’m told is a Bd-XL title. My reasoning is, if my dr...

Re: Bridge on the River Kwai

Does it matter that the drive works with the vast majority of the UHD disc's I've ripped? Would you suggest just getting another drive of the same model?

Thanks.

Bridge on the River Kwai

Hey all, Looking for some advice. First copy of Bridge on the River Kwai in UHD failed to even mount in my otherwise awesome Asus bw-16d1ht. Had this happen once before (Last Jedi UHD). Followed my typical routine (tried cleaning the disc, then exchanged). Unfortunately, the new disc is also not mou...

Re: UHD Disks that Behave like They're Damaged

This happened to me with my first copy of Last Jedi. Second copy worked perfectly. I think some manufacturers are just sloppier than others in terms of leaving a film on the disc. Sometimes a careful cleaning (even if the disc looks pristine) will help. I returned my copy of Last Jedi through Disney...

Re: Any Updates on Ripping Last Jedi?

I was able to borrow a better copy from a friend which ripped perfectly. Hopefully Disney will replace my disc in the event that I need to re-rip in the future. Thanks for your help!

Any Updates on Ripping Last Jedi?

Hey guys, I know there's an existing thread on this, but it hasn't seen action in some time and I'm desperate to get this movie ripped. Using an ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.10 firmware. No issues ripping any other discs beyond the AACS 2.1 stuff, but with Last Jedi I'm getting random read errors that result in...

Re: Progress on AACS 2.1?

To be clear, I didn't mean this topic to come off as "why isn't this fixed!" I really appreciate all the hard work Mike's done on this program over the years. Being able to rip this stuff is fantastic, both as a matter of principal and convenience. For those asking why it's relevant... 4K ...

Progress on AACS 2.1?

I know this is something lots of people are asking about, but I was wondering if there are any updates on getting access to these keys for MakeMKV? Fury is the only 4K disk I can't backup!

Thanks!

Re: Firmware downgrade using official (patched) flasher, the "Ultra hax0r guide"

MartyMcNuts, you're the man! Didn't realize my motherboard in my PC doesn't have an IDE mode. Was about to despair when I found your updater. Worked like a charm on my Asus. Thanks so much!
