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

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).

Yes this drive works on a Mac. NO issue with my Mac Mini (M1)

I'm thinking of pairing this with my 8gb m1, what software can I use on the mac to rip (I wasnt aware if makemkv works on macos or not)

Am I the only one who uses...

Nero Platinum Suite ?

Just reading this thread shows me I am not the only crazy on SD...lol.

So... the last burner I purchased was the last Lite-On burner that did not have copyright protection built in it. I had to look up my receipt to see what it was. I purchased it when I built my Q6600 (overclocked to 3.0 Ghz...but I got it as high as 3.4 Ghz stable...lol) gaming system which still runs today and I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed. System was built in 2007... going on year number 16 and running strong. I did upgrade my GPU three times. Currently running the fastest GPU I can for this system... ASUS Radeon R9 270 and still plays the latest games (on low or medium settings).

DVD BURN LITEON|SHM-165H6S RAM BK R $36.99 yes it was a Slick Deal Smilie
Order Date:10/08/2006

But to be honest... I still don't get why many people would buy this or the reasons why some people are buying this is just silly.

Seems like a good thread to ask this question. I have an internal blu-ray drive I removed from my PC to add an extra fan. I never used it really, but was curious if there an external enclosure I could use. Does anyone here happen to know of one? I keep looking, but only find enclosures for actual hard drives.
And 5.25" sata enclosure
Eg
https://www.newegg.com/vantec-nst...6817392100
$50~

But because these are expensive now with the covid shipping crisis, you can use an external usb to sata adapter
https://www.newegg.com/startech-u...6812400542
$17~

I also put the Vantec link in my original post and espouse it. Works great.

I bought 2 of them. Works great. You don't need the adapter so the $50 or so will do just fine. Be careful to screw the drive in first then slide it in. I had a defect but amazon replaced easily. It's nice. U could also buy the drive and Vantec together for $96.

Now I know why my drive from 3-4 years ago couldn't load dvd or Blu-ray. It was dying and is dead now. And this popped up on sale.

I bought it originally to back up my photos. I have them on hdd but I'm more comfortable with Blu-ray's as yet third backup even if I have multiple hdd. It's difficult abandoning the old physical photo album but trying to declutter my house. Not easy.

I grew up on floppy disks (3 1/2 and 5 1/4 inch) as well as Zip drives. I find an appeal with them and so optical drives will always have a place in my home. I have access to so much streaming but I like the experience of playing off the drive now and then. So I think they will always phase in and out in cycles. I don't think I could ever go 100% streaming. It's nice to "disconnect" now and then and travel back to the 80s and 90s. It's sad that I can't find decent BDR that has proven consistency in good quality.
Decent bd-r
Panasonic made in Japan are the best
https://panasonic.net/cns/blu-ray...ineup.html

But also depends on the drive.

http://yss.la.coocan.jp/wh16ns48d..._bdr6x.htm

While this site doesn't review the same model sold here, the makemkv crowd says the internals are essentially identical across their range.

In any case, look at the error scans across Yss's reviews for lg drives to find other high quality, low error rate discs to use.

I don't burn CDs very often, but when I do, I've still got 2 flawlessly operating units of the best CDRW drive ever made: the Yamaha CRW-F1, manufactured around 2002. And when an audio CD is under 63 minutes, I always use the "Audio Master QR" burn mode exclusive to that drive, because why not take advantage of it?
I'd argue the later plextors having had both, but ah, the yamaha and mitsui gold cd-r days.... Reliable burns with decades long durability

I have one those for my Xbox One, which I believe should work on my PC. Is there any software you use to skip the commercials or is it a manual process?

Makemkv can work, but buggy depending on the release version. Not sure what the current 4k rip support is like.

Ditto with dvdfab.cn

Serious question. Since ripping a movie is still considered illegal, why not save a step and just download a digital copy to begin with? 🤔

Is that all blu-ray drives or this particular model?

Making a copy of a movie you own for yourself is not illegal. Selling it or otherwise distributing it is.

How long do you think that's gonna take? How much are you willing to pay for data caps?

Please show me one place where I can pay to download a Ultra HD Blu-ray movie (not stream, but download the actual file).

Again, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is 73GB.
