Oppenheimer and the resurgence of Blu-ray and DVDs: How to stop your films and music from disappearing::In an era where many films and albums are stored in the cloud, “streaming anxiety” is making people buy more DVDs, records – and even cassette tapes.
Interesting, I found this MakeMKV forum post that seemed to say only specific Blu-ray drives work. If you’re saying it worked without those specific drives I’ll have to look into this again, very promising. Thanks!
After reviewing your link, my existing bluray drive happens to be on the list. But I didn’t do any flashing or anything along those lines. I just downloaded the software at it worked and so I paid for it.
I have the LG WH16NS40 for your reference
edit: checking out the FAQ on the site, looks like for 4k blurays it is recommended to flash the firmware, I only have 1 4k bluray (I don’t have a 4k TV) and it seemed to rip fine but I used handbrake to downscale it to 1080p to save space since I don’t have a 4k television
Hey good to know, thanks for going out of your way to check your model number and post how it went. That helps a ton to know you don’t necessarily have to flash. Might give it a go if I can find a reasonably priced drive, much appreciated!
