I recently bought an LG UHD drive (BP60NB10) specifically for this purpose. After the quick flash process (which was a little tricky since the SDF Tool program window was compacted down really small on my screen for some reason), it worked like a dream. It also came with a Cyberlink Media Suite disc (I made sure to uncheck the automatic firmware update feature, just in case). My favorite thing about the particular model I bought (which wasn't even advertised, and I discovered later through the user's manual) is that I can plug it straight into the USB port on a 4K tv or monitor, hold down the eject button while the tray is open and suddenly, I can use it as a normal 4K Blu-ray player!

The question I have is I only have one USB port on my 4k TV. Yet the cable that came with the drive splits of to 2 usb connectors.

@theshakyproject2971 6 месяцев назад

@@jerryspann8713 You should only need the one USB connection, since it's just a matter of playback. Just in case, I'd strongly recommend looking into a powered USB hub. They're usually super cheap and provide more power than a TV's USB port typically offers. This is also useful if you want to watch movies from an external drive with larger storage, as TVs typically won't recognize a 4TB drive, for instance.

should probably explain to people they can change the settings in makemkv to only by default check a specific language automatically everytime. no need to constantly check and uncheck languages. also should rename your ripped mkv file. like Hacksaw Ridge (2016) 2160p instead of the auto generated names

Nice easy to follow instructions. I applied the firmware update to a LG WH16NS40 everything worked exactly as your described in the video. My file size for the rip of the movie was around 60 GB. I prefer the MP4 format so I re-ripped it again using Handbrake and got the file size down to about 13 GB. The video and sound quality are still fine to me.

@hochhasd1 5 месяцев назад

I started ripping different tv series ( each have numerous dvds) and noticed upon replaying certain epi through the app. That it would freeze, so i figure it would do the same upon formatting and playing on the tv. 1. Should I clean every seasons dvd and look at the playback of each epi on the dvd afterwards to make sure none of them are not freezing? Or looking the first epi after cleaning the dvd will tell me the rest of the epi are fine?

@utp216 6 месяцев назад

I went through this process with an internal LG drive. Bought the drive for $60 brand new. My PC case has the slot so it’s mounted internally. Before I bought the new drive I tried to use my 2012 LG drive but it wasn’t supported by the firmware. Great video!

Hey Michael, what should you do with an FEL layer? Some UHD Blu Rays come with that little Dolby Vision enhancement, it shows on BDinfo reports. Do you put it into MKV as well?

@txag007 2 месяца назад

It pulls all layers. Unfortunately if you are watching through Plex, it can’t read the DV layer. I haven’t gone the rabbit hole yet but people were looking at remuxing the layers into a single layer so DV would be active. I’m not sure if people out there have found that solution.

Hi, Michael! How did you flash your drive using the SDFtool? I downloaded the zip file but when I execute the .exe file, I get two options: 1.) Which drive to flash (I got that) 2.) WRITE Firmware, READ firmware, or RECOVER drive (I chose WRITE Firmware) 3.) Please select a Firmware to Write I'm lost on what to do with the third one. The MakeMKV forum is just too messy for me to read.

You need to also download and unzip the "All You Need Firmware Pack". In that pack is a list of all the drives and firmware updates you need to update your drive for it to work. For example I have a LG-WH16NS40 drive, I used the file with that name to flash my drive.

I don't know if you are still monitoring this video given its age, but I had a question. I've ripped my entire Blu-ray collection, and almost all have codec H264. I have about 25 or so movies that ripped with a Windows Codec. My TV won't play those ones from my external hard drive, and neither will my Roku 3, Xbox One S, and stand alone Blu-ray Player. They don't like that Windows Codec. Weirdly enough 20 or them are movies distributed by Warner Brothers, the rest are from Universal. How can I re-rip them or convert that Codec to something else my TV will play. I've watched other videos where they used Handbrake as a compression tool to decrease the size of the file so it does not take up so much hard drive space. I'm looking for something that changes the Codec to something more common.

@ANNussbaum13 8 месяцев назад

My main issue with ripping and streaming through something like Plex , is there is a noticeable decrease in quality specifically when it comes to the audio.

@iPain3G 7 месяцев назад

This only happens when you have the option enabled for transcoding. When you disable transcoding Plex sends you the original file but that needs a ton of bandwidth and your device has to be able to play the file how it is.

Mike, are you familiar with anydvd and clone dvd? I use the iso format to rip my physical movies all in iso format so I can get bit perfect a 1:1 clone of the discs including all the menus with the extra features and special features. I use the extra features and special features that's why I use the iso format. I don't like how makemkv separates each chapter. I have to go each chapter individually and it's time consuming since all the chapters says unknown. I spend more time going thru each channel 1 by 1 and it's a very tedious and annoying process that I need to go thru. I'm trying to figure it out include the all the menus when ripping in the iso format so I can select the load option when playing my movies and on my android phones. I used to be able to select load on android like your loading a disc on the 4k player and it's done the same exact way but done virtually.

I want to use the iso format not the mkv format. I don't use any transcoding and encoding when playing the movies. I treat the movies like I'm loading the discs on the 4k player but done exactly the same way on android. There are dvd players that run android on amazon. I was even looking for a portable 4k player that is similar to the portable dvd player that does the same thing as the portable dvd players but plays the 4k discs instead of dvd discs but they don't exist. I'm trying to play a physical disc on android without the physical disc by using the iso format since it's doing the same thing as using the physical disc without the physical discs.

I'm of the mind all movies sold should be on flash drives. For those of us who dont like internet dependency. The best thing to store thousands of blueray movies and mega large TVs series a hard drive would take up less shelf space

OK Mike, I think we have to agree to disagree re. the definition of "it couldn't be any easier"... As an aside, in the UK you would technically be breaking the law by doing this (even making copies for _private_ use of discs you already own), hypothetically opening yourself up to a substantial fine; the US legislation regarding making copies for private use is different in that respect I believe.

@dave24-73 9 месяцев назад

uk have exceptions Copyright law has been changed to allow you to make personal copies of media (ebooks, digital music or video files etc) you have bought, for private purposes such as format shifting or backup. Before this change to the law, it was not legal to copy music that you bought on a CD onto your MP3 player.

@dave24-73 9 месяцев назад

Is CD ripping legal in the UK 2023? Under new exceptions to copyright law, first initiated by the 2011 Hargreaves Review, people will be no longer be committing a crime by format shifting copies of CDs, ebooks or films they have bought. It will remain, however, illegal to make copies at home for friends and family.

@maidsandmuses 8 месяцев назад

@@dave24-73 Indeed, these exceptions were made into law in August 2014, but these exceptions under copyright law were *revoked* by the High Court on July 17th, 2015, following a challenge by the Musicians' Union, UK Music, and The British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, thus making format shifting illegal again, less that a year after the exceptions were introduced. The High Court decided that the government had been legally incorrect by not introducing a compensation scheme for songwriters, musicians and other rights holders who faced losses as a result of their copyright being infringed.

The reason some of us like the tech mumbo jumbo is because we are IT professionals (experts?) ourselves and don't need someone else to give us the exact steps. If you could describe the very specific part of the process that a normal attempt to rip an ISO would fail, and give a general "do this instead, and use this tool for this part of the process" we can do it ourselves.

You're better off just playing the physical discs on a BD player. HDDs die a whole lot faster than discs go bad. And with HDDs you basically have to run a home server farm or compress a lot.

Dvd take up lease amount of space around . Blu-ray take more space but a lots less then 4k. U can probably get 3 to 4 Blu-ray for the same space as 1 4k. Blu-ray are cheaper to find and dvd are even cheaper. It all comes down to your budget and your needs. I would just recommend dvd or Blu-ray vs for 4k for nas system.

Why don't just use a UHD Bluray player connected to the TV or Beamer? A NAS for 100, 200 and more UHD movies will cost you to a lot of money, time, space, energy and you have to store the BluRays anyway. The BluRay ist the perfect storagemedium for movies and will probably survive for decades. You should ask yourself, how often do you want to watch the same movie? I would say, at maximum once every two or three years. Then a new technologie emerges, you are fascinated and you have to do all the work once again. I personally startet with VHS cassette...😊

@ericshutter5305 7 месяцев назад

Why rip them ... nothing beats the physical content and you can store them in disc bags ... 360 movies in 1 bag.

@rauland 6 месяцев назад

Number of reasons: 1)no longer need to store the physical disc in your house - more storage/less clutter 2) able to watch it anytime, anywhere, anyhow you want 3) no longer need a 4kUHD player for home viewing (which are getting more scarce than the movies themselves) 4) digital backup incase anything happens to your discs 5) using a media server like Plex, Kodi, Emby, Jellybean (?), etc makes it easier to sort and catalogue your movies. Can browse by genre, decade, actor, studio. Can creat custom playlists (do I watch star wars by release date or episode number… make a playlist in either order). 6) take your movies virtually anywhere And if you rip them properly, you can’t even tell the difference between disc and digital (and the audio is just as good).
