Howdy folks,
I'm ready to try transcoding Blu-Ray for my media player which fully supports MKV , MP4, H.264 video.
The drive I chose was an Asus BC-12B1ST.
I primarly use HandBrake ripping and transcoding but every thing I read when it came to Blu-Rays was you needed MAKEMKV to rip the blu-rays.
I use Linux (Ubuntu) for transcoding mainly because I can let it fly in the background while I continue to work without a hitch.
I installed the drive and tried MakeMKV on just a regular movie DVD and it gave me a RCP protection error and asked me to upgrade the drives firmware.
However, Handbrake spun it out and didn't seem to care.
I don't know if Handbrake can open a Blu-Ray or if it has to be ripped to the HD first (hince MakeMkv). Anyone run into this?
BTW, I have NOT upgraded the firmware via the software on the CD that came with the drive, the Asus site seem to be down. Won't let me complete the steps to download the firmware.
