Not sure if this is the best place to post, but I imagine plenty of ya’ll rip your discs either for backup or media server purposes. So I’m curious what you have found to work best / most reliably for ripping 4k discs, and if you have any tips for getting stubborn discs to rip well.
Personally I have an LG WH16NS40 internal drive and an LG BP60NB10 external drive, both flashed with Libredrive to allow 4k ripping, using MakeMKV. Generally they work pretty well, but I will occasionally get a stubborn disc (often from the library, sometimes even new) that just refuses to fully rip on either drive.
Lemon pledge and a microfiber cloth, followed by a microfiber lens wipe, clean up most grubby used discs. But you can only do so much if the disc is physically damaged.
So what’s in your toolkit?
Never heard of aaru before, but I will check it out, thanks.
