Apparently, Pioneer drives are great, but they are not compatible with LibreDrive. Apparently, only ASUS and LG-Hitachi drives are compatible with LibreDrive, and I haven't read good reviews from LG-Hitachi drives in this forum. If my drive is faulty, I would like to know a good burner that can be patched with a LibreDrive firmware. Is my drive faulty? Are the discs faulty? The LG WH16NS60 is an internal UHD Blu-ray Drive designed and sold by LG. Therefore, a LibreDrive will never refuse to read data from the disc or declare itself ‘revoked’. All the BD-R DL discs I burned with my previous drive (the ASUS BW-12B1ST with VERBAT-IMf-000 discs) don't have these weird dots/spots on their surfaces. Product Description This is a brand new LG WH16NS40 that came from the factory with firmware 1.03 or 1.04 depending on date of manufacture, and service code NS50. Typical example is LibreDrive, an optical disc drive (applicable to DVD, Blu-ray and UHD) intended for accessing disc data directly without any restrictions or transformations enforced by drive firmware. I was able to copy all the data back to my SSD and I even compared the original files with WinMerge to check if the data was corrupted, but all files matched, so all the data on the disc is correct. I also noticed that the BD-R DL disc has some dots/spots on the burnable surface. What it does do is bypass MKB restrictions and is able to read sections of the disc that are normally blocked by the firmware until proper authentication is done. The disc verification failed when ImgBurn started verifying Layer 1. There seems to be a misconception about what LibreDrive can and cant do. I just burned a BD-R DL disc (VERBAT-IMf-000) on my ASUS BW-16D1HT (patched with MakeMKV's LibreDrive firmware) for the first time and the results have not been very good.
