Pro LibreDrive Blu-ray flashing tip:

If you have a Buffalo BRXL-16U3 and it uses an LG BH16NS58 with drive platform MT1959, you can flash "WH16NS60 1.02-MK" as mentioned in this post with encryption and makemkvcon from MakeMKV 1.17.7 for Linux (in the binary tar gz, works on Arch right now but haven't updated within a few days) and it'll enable LibreDrive:

Instructions for flashing, will require modifying:

Figured it out, it's MakeMKV. The light starts blinking when it's started and stops when it's closed. Going to assume it's polling the disc drive and Linux counts all storage access for the hard drive indicator LED.

OK … is anyone getting #timeout connection issues with the #unitednations website?

Or with the #MakeMKV forums?

I’m getting #504errors on one and #522Errors on the other …

Hmmm …

Is anyone else getting #522Errors trying to access the #MakeMKV forums … ?

It looks like it’s having issues …

@SamuraiSakura #makeMKV works like a charm on Ubuntu/Debian based distros. It is great.

@cloudskater, I find https://www.makemkv.com/ quite nice and useful.

Though, a quick build is required:

I know that physical media is dying, but: why is there no open source alternative to #makemkv? What is so special about BluRay ripping? I know that they are much better encrypted compared to DVDs, yeah. But it seems it IS possible, so why has no one duplicated the effort yet?

Time to put the newly rewritten server into action. Broke out my totally stock firmware LG WH16NS60 drive, and started in on some Bluray TV episode sets. Currently ripping at ~9.2X which definitely helps out.

Think I'm gonna target AV1 via `av1an` and use the `svt-av1-psyex` encoder. Already have the subtitles and attachments though I'll have to offset the subs by 1000ms for everything to work out.
