Ohk, Let me know here. If you burn one.

Thank you for your tests and results. Did you tried burning BD-R DL? Video BD?

Thank you, Good to know.

Wow! Thats nice to know. All tests are passed. Good to know that I got a good drive. Thank you for all your tests and confirming.

Just Curious, there will be no hardware revisions for optical drives?

Good news. Hmmm! Strange! According make MKV forums 3.11 is an encrypted firmware. Not sure about change log.

In India, I can get LG WH16NS40 easily. I don't think so I can get Pioneer BDR-213. Will see how your test go on our present ASUS BW-16D1HT, if possible, I will test the same test case as yours which broke. Then I will go on with in search of new drive. I think getting another ASUS drive is also difficult now. As my friend remember this was the last drive from that shop. For now, I'm just waiting for your new drive to get delivered Please do update me. Thanks!

Agreed Then okay. What is the best drive at this point of time? If this drive is broken, I thought of buying another one and preserve it for long time.

Oh, that's Sad! Is New model of Blu-ray drive is coming or it's an end of Discs Era? Hopefully drive is good. I didn't find any problems with drive, yet. Nice that you are getting a drive soon. Is that new drive you are getting is 3.11 for sure? As we cannot the flash the drive.

Thank you 🙂

Thank you got it. How about BD-RE I mentioned in the above post?

I found half spindle of following discs in my closet, are they and good? Disc says Its Sony but MID says its Moser Baer, how this is even possible?

If it's available, then it's too expensive. I could get this Even though I'm not fan of Inkjet surface. https://www.amazon.in/Verbatim-Rewritable-Blueray-Original-Spindle/dp/B0056DUNLW/ Just looking for your opinion.

Oh, that's nice. Can't wait for your complete review. Can you please guess or confirm the following are MKM discs? https://www.amazon.in/Verbatim-8-5GB-Layer-Printable-64308/dp/B07R9PKXSX I don't like printable discs, but It's the only model available in stock. It's really hard to find the DVD+DL here.

Thank you. I will be looking out for your review.

I also attached photo of drive info and Drive Capabilities screenshot. What about this drive destroying DVD-RW and BD-RE discs? Is that fixed? I was planning to burn DVD-DL this week, I think I shouldn't do it 😂. I think for now Its best to stick with my old drive for successful DVD burn. If you want me to, I'm also okay to try this new drive for DVD-DL burning. Also, let me know if you need other info of this drive. Thank you!

Hello, I got 16D1HT Blu writer from a friend who was upgrading to his chassis which does not have 5.25 Drive. (I didn't have an option to choose a drive.) After I got, I looked into reviews here and realised This particular drive have an is issue with re writable disc. as per the following post with was posted in 2016 Is this issue has been solved after these many years? I'm not sure how to check hardware revision but drive is manufactured in March 2023. And has a firmware 3.11 out of the box. Just want to confirm before throwing DVD-RWs to Bin. Thank you.

I know; I was expecting that answer Yes I used same drive with same type of discs, Perhaps those are from same stack. Around 2 to 2.5 Years. I not able find new firmware as of now. Yes I want to check with rewritable discs. Will post the log shortly. No fresh Install. Yes 100% worked fine. Only Microsoft can answer this I was thinking same and let you know the results.

I'm trying to make Playable DVD - DL by using VIDEO_TS Folder(Around 7.2GB) which contains of .vob .ifo .bup files. While I'm trying to do this I got this Dialogue Box. What does it mean? & What should i select? What happens If i Select "Ignore Layer Break"?

because when i bought this drive there was No information in ASUS website so..

I recently bought this drive. So I'm guessing that v1.00 is the latest firmware for my drive. So my drive is genuine right?
