Best guide out there for ensuring consumers don't lose their film collections - backing up discs is not only great for increased ease of access, as it also insures against Murphy getting involved with a lost/damaged disc in the future. Well explained with clear easy to follow directions, and I appreciate the added thoughtfullness in talking about drive compatability, a subject most tutorials skip which can be a disaster for their viewers who may end up bricking their disc drive. Well worth a sub 👍

@FriskaDownne 3 месяца назад

I did NOT follow the directions the first time around! After re-watching this video a second time, I found that I failed in choosing the right flasher file for my drive. Once I corrected my mistake, the rest was cake and I'm my way to 4K UHD ripping heaven! Thanks for this video!

I like keeping up with how it's becoming more complicated with more procedures. Basically ripping disc's for a copy and backup and quality. Now with 4k quality and the ability to play all your library has become a real option I never had at that time. Glad to see it's evolving to be able to use the disc's instead of gathering dust. You condensed everything to make it understandable. Thanks 😊

For years Ive wanted to do this...convert my collection to digital. But it was one of those things you'd start trying to figure out and just hit a bunch of dead ends or people trying to sell you software that may or may not work. Plus Im super ADD, if it seems annoying i just move on til i think about it again. Anyways, my eyes lit up when I saw the LG optical drive. I rushed to check my Amazon order history, not there...WAIT, Newegg! Logged in, check order history and voilà...it was the exact same drive I purchased in 2013 for the first PC I ever built. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I ALMOST THREW THAT THING AWAY??? My wife may have won the battle over the 4 bags of RCA and VGA cables, but today I emerge victorious, justified, and vindicated. This is for all my fellow technology hoarders out there. So what if its a proprietary cable extension to a mouse from 2009? Deep down you just know you'll need that someday. Stay strong 💪

Though, the "All You Need Firmware Pack" has been updated and has included a file for the WH14NS40, but when i tried to use that, "Command produced error 0x82052603" popped up. I then tried the firmware for WH16NS60 (DE_LG_WH16NS60_1.02_MK.bin) and then the firmware flashed just fine. Weird that they'd include specific firmwares for different LG drives that don't work But again, it works great and I can finally backup my blurays, thank you!

Ah, just as I decided to delve into 4K discs for my Plex server a couple weeks back! I had an earlier version of the drive you selected as I started ripping Blu-Ray back in early 2015, but this version was not compatible with the necessary flashed firmware, so I ended up with the same drive you have. I fully recommend it, and even the earlier version was flawless with standard Blu Ray.

Next up, need to find out how to get a plex server going.

@trleith 9 месяцев назад

Good job. I've discovered very recently that you can't (reliably) play an "uncompressed" UHD that has a bitrate above 80Mpbs to a Roku Ultimate running a Plex client because it has only a 10/100 Ethernet port and, well, above 80 sustained is a lot to ask of the hardware. This has proven true with two titles. Handbrake or FFMPEG using CPU only can take days to do very high quality compression. I have to experiment with Nvidia hardware compression. I'm told it can't compress nearly so well as HandBrake -- resulting file sizes are much larger and the image quality is also degraded more. But I don't know yet how much it will matter to me.

@johnggraves 9 месяцев назад

An alternative to your Roku/Plex approach is a Media File Player such as those offered by Zidoo and Dune. I've yet to have a problem with full bitrate UHD rips to .mkv files. Currently I'm using a Zidoo Z9x, playing files from a Synology NAS

MakeMKV started throwing hashread errors last night, and as of this morning, read speeds reduce down to .2x while attempting to create the mkv file. This was not the case up until yesterday. Will return and order a replacement. Hoping this is not a common theme with the drive.

In the meantime, that show that you enjoy on these platforms, we’re going to get memory holed perhaps forever.

After that if I need to tweak some things around I use MKVToolNix 1:1 copy. Or if I need to encode them to 10Bit HEVC with AC3 audio I use RipBot in CQ mode with the file size is about 2-4GB.

@@Townsycheck around. Literally just bought an 18 terabyte Western digital My book external drive....I'm shucking it and I'm going to put it in my case hooked directly via Sata. You do have to make a slight customization to the third pin to make the hard drive from the external drive recognize and work hook up directly sata....can put a little piece of tape...liquid electrical tape, use molex to SATA power cable, cut the 3rd wire on the SATA power cable ....or if you want to make it fast and don't care about warranty or ever using as an external drive again....just break the pin al the way off.... I just got an 18tb drive that way for 200!!! It would be double that or more for a regular internal 18tb 3.5 HDD alone. The disk inside is basically a wd red series. Nice little hack. I almost have a 100tb with all my drives in Total now

I picked up the LG Electronics WH14NS40 with the OWC Mercury Pro 5.25" Optical Drive External Enclosure and a Western Digital 4TB My Cloud Home Personal Cloud Storage - WDBVXC0040HWT-NESN. I flashed the drive with the steps in the video with no issues. When trying to rip my first 4k Movie it has ran for over 3.5 hours and I only have 3GB of the 31GB about 9.6% completed. What would be normal for a 4k rip?

@marcussherburne7331 5 месяцев назад

I found in the log a No Java Found error with pages and pages of read errors. I installed Java and restarted Make MKV it’s now working with no issues. I have ran 15 disks with no issues.

Yes

@temptemp5093 Год назад

Nice guide. Could you please make tutorial video on what would be the options to stream the results to a 4k TV? Thank you 🙏

@dan_hitchman007 Год назад

The easiest, though there are no perfect solutions, would be to use a new Nvidia Shield Pro and the Plex app to read the files of a NAS or external drive and send the AV to your surround decoder and display.

@lezlienewlands1337 5 месяцев назад

I have a sizable 4K collection, and with streaming services getting obnoxiously expensive, proud to say it's ever increasing. I also have 2 of the ASUS BW16D1HTs in my tower. Also it's worth noting that even if you can't dump the disc, you can save an encrypted version to convert later by the backup menu as shown in the video, as reading from local storage is faster then waiting on the disc. Just untick "decrypt video files".

@TheKeule33 4 месяца назад

Don't go through the pain of ripping! Copy the entire disc and save as ISO instead. DVDFab does that very well. That way you don't have to piece together each movie file and special, as well as the different audio tracks and (forced) subtitles - it's all there on the iso.

@acemage1116 Год назад

Thank you for this video, my media pc is finally perfect. And i did not need to wast money on a pioneer product. I could stick to the Asus drive i already have.

Have you done any guides for HD DVD backups? If not it could be very interesting since so many people still have the disc's and so few programs support playing them. Last I knew not even vlc would play the disc's just ripped files.

@TwoGuyzTech 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching, we've never tested this since we're not sure where you would get a compatible drive, though some users online have reported success while using an older version of MakeMKV. Once you have a compatible drive and software, the process should be similar, but again we've never tried it ourselves. Hope this helps!

@marknewellmusic 6 месяцев назад

The trick with HD-DVD is to look at the years things were released, then go and grab the usual named software of those years and get the old versions off sites like old-versions etc. Most big software of the era handled HD-DVD before the format was abandoned.

Hi Logan …please help me .I got the same drive and enclosure as in the video. My problem is when I download the SDFasher in that upper bar it says WH16NS60 went in fact I have the WH14S40 …this won’t allow me to get those two green check marks . This in turn gives me a Error saying “command produced error code Oxff05c103 “ thank you for any help you may give

I never went beyond ripping DVDs, and only did that briefly, streaming was too cheap and easy. Does Blu-ray use the same encryption as DVD? Is that why it's so easy to rip? Did they not even try to come up with something better?

@TwoGuyzTech Год назад

Thanks for watching! Blu-rays and 4K Blu-rays are encrypted with various versions of the AACS encryption scheme, which is better than the encryption that was featured on DVDs, but for the vast majority of movies MakeMKV has no problem getting through if you have a LibreDrive compatible drive.

@HailAnts Год назад

@@TwoGuyzTech - How was it broken so easily? Everyone thinks that DVD encryption was cracked, but it wasn't. A set of keys were emailed to a company in Europe, RealPlayer maybe, in plain text. These were intercepted, and all the subsequent DVD ripping software used that as its basis.

@HannesKirsman 2 месяца назад

Do you think jamless play feature on some drives would allow copying bad disks without knowing before you actually watch the movie?

@yourma-uh5um Год назад

How is 4K UHD Blu-ray playback with these drives? I heard they need to use Intel's SGX CPU instruction to enable playback, but it has since been removed from and no longer supported on their newer CPUs due to repeated security vulnerabilities caused by the instruction. Are there any workarounds the can get playback working on AMD CPUs and Intel CPU again or is the firmware flashing taking care of all of that? There's no clear information discerning the difference (if there is one) between reading/detecting the content on a 4K UHD disc and playing back the content on a 4K UHD disc.

@TwoGuyzTech Год назад

Thanks for watching! Ripping the disc is going to be your best bet. We have chose not to mess with playback since it's always really hard to get working just right, and there is no difference between the quality of a rip and the quality of direct playback (unless you choose to compress the rip afterwards of course, which is a manual and deliberate process). Hope this helps :)

@yourma-uh5um Год назад

@@TwoGuyzTech Thanks for the response, I can't seem to get an answer anywhere else. I wanted to stick a UHD compatible drive in my HTPC and start acquiring 4K Blu-ray movies, but the issue with the drives needing the Intel SGX instruction enabled to have 4K playback with no problems is a monkey wrench in the gears, especially since my HTPC is an AMD APU system and doesn't use SGX or have an equivalent feature AFAIK.

@TwoGuyzTech Год назад

@@yourma-uh5um Yep, unfortunately that's the conclusion we've pretty much settled on as well. I use an AMD Ryzen system for most of my work and haven't had any luck getting 4K playback working. I suppose you could invest in older supported Intel hardware but that might be an extra unnecessary expense that I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to go through! Sorry we couldn't be of more help here. :/

@yourma-uh5um Год назад

@@TwoGuyzTech I have an Intel dual core Kaby Lake and mini-ITX board lying around, but it's a lot of hassle to replace the current HTPC with a lesser system just to have 4K playback. Not to mention the system may be upgraded at some point in the future which would mean the loss of 4K playback so it's probably a lot less hassle just to settle for a regular 4K Blu-ray player. DRM is fucking bullshit, it's supposed to prevent piracy yet all it does it make it the preferred option.

@shrimboi8909 6 месяцев назад

I only have a donzen hard copy of my fav movies. The rest are digitals that I downloaded from internet stored on external HD and organized using Plex. I no longer buy hard copy because I like minimalist living space. I thought about ripping but just not worth all the hassles.
