![]() ![]() I've noodled putting everything "online". A 100GB disc has 3 layers so speed will go up and down several times across the 100GB and it moves back and forth three times.Ĭlick to expand.I have that same concern. It will be slower on the inside edge of the disc because the disc is spinning at a constant angular velocity (RPM) and the circumference changes. Also, "up to 6x" or "up to 8x" mean 6x or 8x ripping at the outside of the disc where the read rate is the highest. ISO) took ~63 minutes to rip with a 6x capable firmware. The ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.10 firmware is the recommended one if you don't care about burning and the LG BH16NS55 or WH16NS40 firmwares are the recommended ones if you want to also burn with the drive.īTW, "fast" is relative. AnyDVD can't use a drive with official UHD support, so you have to use "UHD friendly" firmwares. MakeMKV can use a drive that has official UHD support with libredrive, so the libredrive enabled WH16NS60 firmware is the one to use since it's capable of up to 8x ripping. I ultimately flashed it to a ASUS BW-16D1HT with version 3.10 firmware since supposedly that the fastest "UHD friendly" ripping firmware as long as you don't care about burning with the drive. I have no idea why someone would buy a pre-flashed drive at a premium. Then you can flash the firmware you want. The drive won't let you downgrade with the factory firmware, so you have to flash a same level (or newer) modified firmware that allows downgrading first if the firmware you want to use is a downgrade. Flashing is very simple with the modified GUI flasher. It took two different flashes to get it to the firmware I wanted (or at least that's how I did it). I used Marty McNuts modified ASUS flasher to get a "UHD friendly" firmware flashed on it. Reportedly all the working Asus & LG drive models are the same hardware so there's no point to buy a more expensive model. I'm running on Arch Linux.I picked up a LG WH14NS40 from Amazon for about $55 and got it yesterday. The drives are the same model, the LG BH16NS55, and both have had their firmware flashed to WH16NS60 1.02MK. The drive refuses to take any and all Blu-ray discs, including ones that I know for a fact work. I've tried restarting and updating my computer, to no avail. I've never heard of a drive failing because it couldn't read a disc properly. I refuse to believe that this is a hardware issue, since it seems impossibly unlikely that two drives (albeit with the same model number and firmware) would have the exact same problem after failing to read the exact same disc. I did the same as I already said, and the exact same thing happened. After patching the firmware so it works well with MakeMKV (LibreDrive and all), I ripped a Blu-ray as a test it worked fine, so I got to work on this disc. ![]() The first time, I put it down to a hardware failure, assuming the blue laser had died, and bought another. The really weird part is that this is the second time it's happened in about a week. CDs and DVDs continue to work fine, however. It doesn't show anything in lsblk, no disc appears to be able to mount, nothing. The drive makes a whole bunch of seeking noises, and spins up a bunch of times, but never gets anywhere, and eventually stops trying. The problem is, after using MakeMKV to try and backup the disc, the drive is unable to read the disc at all, and after this point, the drive cannot read any Blu-rays at all. I've been attempting (somewhat fruitlessly) to rip a Blu-ray disc that appears to have a bad sector on it (thanks, BBC). ![]()
