Optical Disc Drive Compatibility: BD-Video: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:04, 5 December 2025

Note: This page is a work-in-progress (need a list of drives confirmed good for redump).

For the majority of Blu-ray discs, any Blu-ray compatible drive is acceptable for submission, with the exception of bus-encryption-enabled (BEE) discs. For BEE discs, either an old Blu-ray drive without bus encryption feature is needed, or a LibreDrive-compatible drive is needed, and MakeMKV must be launched (and then closed) prior to dumping. While any compatible Blu-ray drive is accepted, for redump purposes we recommend Blu-ray drives that are [/Optical_Disc_Drive_Compatibility:_CD also compatible for CD-ROM dumping] to avoid having to use two drives for submissions.

For a full list of drives that are likely good for dumping BD-Video for redump, check this list on the MakeMKV forums.
