Re: UHD drives

Use the DE_LG_BU40N_100.bin that's packaged with the updated flashers these guys have been so awesome to share with us. MakeMKV now prints a log message that implies it's looking for a libre drive when it encounters a drive with the old school firmware on it.So it's DE or MK firmware foe me!

Re: bu40n UltraHD drive may work, GTX 1060 and PowerDVD fails

"Explicit HDR" is a term I came up with an actual technical term :) My bad, I was under the impression that every component in an HTPC, from the mobo > CPU all the way to the display had to support HDR10 to be able to display it properly. Thank you for explaining it the way you did, I get ...

Re: bu40n UltraHD drive may work, GTX 1060 and PowerDVD fails

Screenshot taken to preserve for all of time. LOL So you don’t feel you’re missing anything without explicit hdr support? I’m genuinely curious and trust your opinion since you’re viewing the result on an LG OLED. Says you have excellent taste in televisions (I’m a proud Sony OLED owner, practically...

Congratulations on the 9900K machine, that is sweet!

So unless you've got one of a small list of motherboards with HDR10 support, won't direct disc OR file playback looked washed out as we've seen reported so many times in other setups?

No. You are late to the game to be able to simply get one from Amazon ready to go. Drive manufacturers/vendors caught on months ago.
Like 18 or so, on the day after that initial "key drop" in December 2017 right? :)

Re: ASUS BW-1601HT best firmware

Redyul, There is a regression with BD and DVD ripping speeds. In past versions ripping BD and DVD was 50 to 100% faster than 4K UHD . I remember observing speeds of 12 to 14x ripping a BD and currently it's around 4 to 6X. If you really wanted to,<doozah> maintains the library of daily builds so one...

Re: UHD drives

You’ll want the 1.00 firmware and the flashers and that is part of this https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=19113 It appears the FW in that file is 1.01.....not 1.00. Is that the one that should be used to allow the drive to rip 4k disks? :) Ah yes, I noticed that after I posted ...

Re: Recommended drive for non UHD discs?

I have a couple WH16NS40 with original 1.02 firmware that I want to flash to get rid of the sleep bug. I plan to use those for my UHD discs. However, I have a few hundred regular Blu-ray’s I’d like to get ripped and with my schedule it’s better if I can start a bunch all at once instead of coming b...
