Grabbed one last week sold by Amazon.com. I successfully flashed it to the 1.02MK firmware using this USB adadpter:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1

and was able to rip a UHD title with MakeMKV.

Keep in mind that if you have a 12th gen Intel, you won't be able to use this to play standard or 4K Blu-ray movies on your PC because Intel removed some required HDCP security thing from their newest chips (citing that the HDCP handshake protocol is a security vulnerability).

That's a really good price for a BR writer compared to what I've seen in the past.
Hello. This is normal price. It was same price or cheaper. I don't understand why this is a deal. This drive is 10 years old. People think this is a deal.LMAOLMAOLMAO

It's funny that everyone downloading the movies using torrents and usenet claim that these drives are absurd and didn't know that the content they download were actually ripped using one of these.

If anyone has a pile of 3.5" floppies, I actually need some. Supporting NT4 is a bear.
.. I have a sealed box of 50 I picked up at my local Goodwill a while back. How many do you need?

Is there a way to convert old dvds with dvdfab split movies (over two discs) and dvdshrink backups to something that can be placed on a server? Have a few backups from discs back in the day that i would like to play since i have skip scratches on the originals.
That's easy to do so. There is another way. You can make them for Image files if you have a player which can play ISO or other Image files.

This is blu-ray rewriter. You updated the firmware and able to read 4K? That would be amazing.
if you do that this drive may not read DVD.

Who uses Intel these days?

Jokes aside, no idea why the CPU needs to do anything with my purchased blurays. Hate this horsecrap

Quote from babygdav :
Consistently, Pioneer desktop drives writing to made in Japan Panasonic blurays blanks have the lowest scanned error rates.
I would have to second this recommendation. My blu-ray burner, a Pioneer BDR-205 bought in 2010, is still working flawlessly AFAICT. Any CD or DVD ripping or burning gets delegated down to my Pioneer DVR-115L, bought in 2008 and also sill working flawlessly AFAICT. Verbatim for BD-R DL, BD-R SL, DVD+R DL, and DVD+/-R. JVC for CD-R.

My current desktop computer doesn't have a 5.25" slot, so I run both of those drives from external cases, and I only have one external case with SATA for an internal interface. So while an upgrade to 4K would be nice, either buying another external case or kicking the blu-ray burner with a proven record for durability out of position and replacing it with a 4K friendly blu-ray burner with questionable durability, and then hoping that I don't screw something up and brick the drive when I void the warranty downgrading the firmware, and then hoping that the drive itself that no longer has a warranty and has questionable QC actually holds up for a substantial length of time, is a pretty tall order.

EDIT: No one asked but I'll take these drawbacks even one step further. You can make a 1:1 backup of an audio CD onto a CD-R and get it to play in a standalone CD player. You can make a 1:1 backup of a DVD movie onto a DVD+R DL (the maximum size that you would need) and get it to play in a standalone DVD player. You can make a 1:1 backup of a Blu-ray movie onto a BD-R DL (the maximum size that you would need) and get it to play in a standalone Blu-ray player. But you can't make a 1:1 backup of a 4K movie and expect it to play in a standalone player. They make 100GB BDXL media that would be big enough to fit the largest possible 1:1 copy of a 4K movie but if you look at the owners manuals of every single standalone 4K Blu-ray player, they all mention BD-R DL (50GB) being supported but are either silent about BDXL or explicitly state it is not supported. I suspect this is because the Blu-ray Association has not published any standards for authoring 4K content onto BDXL media. Several standalone 4K Blu-ray players have been tested and only one will consistently play BDXL, by accident: the Panasonic UB900. It's hard to find, around $1K if you do find it, and it doesn't do Dolby Vision. So if you want to backup a 4K Blu-ray movie that will play in a standalone player, you can't just do what in effect is a very very large copy+paste and make a 1:1 copy. You have to shrink the original disc down to BD-50 size whether it's by transcoding the whole disc at a lower bitrate, keeping only the main movie, or stripping out unneeded audio tracks and subtitles. I know most people rip the image/disc to a HD/server and play it from there but as you can see I'm very old school lol

Shouldn't this be cheaper since we BR discs are expensive and most everyone has gravitated to SSD? What are people using this for? Ripping BR?
I can't believe people are still using these things.

I'm not talking about a virtual drive in the PC. We are talking about the player app which can play Image files, KODI does it.

I have a lot of drives. I don't use them that much. I only use them for backup some important files to be preserved.

This is how I use BR and DVD burners, 2 or 3 times per year maybe?
1. backup important files to be preserved.
2. rip or copy damaged BR, DVD, CD.

1. I don't usually rip BR for my NAS. Streaming is enough for me, 4K, HDR, Dolby ATMOS.
2. I don't usually play BR, DVD, CD.

I don't understand these.
1. I have many BR, DVD burners including unopened.
2. I have many blank media.

Most of people don't need those burners except ripping people or someone who lives in the rural area where hard to get the streaming service like Netflix something.

I also have and regularly use a Roku Ultra. The only "steaming" thing is your comment.
