Hi, New to this format, picked up a Toshiba HD-EP30 player and about 60 discs.

I have many discs that stop playing around halfway through, although some work perfectly, and from what i've read a firmware update could help with this, it's currently on v2 and i can find reference to v4, but can't find a working version, all the links point to retired servers or the CD-R burner says they are corrupt.
any links to working drivers or update advice would be appreciated.

What drive do you guys recommend I use to backup my discs to mkv? Today, I purchased some from a goodwill and then quickly learned my LG bray drive can't read this format.

Hi all, does anyone have a playable French copy of La Vie en Rose? Mine has never cooperated with backup attempts, which I've tried several times over the last 10 years as I no longer have a standalone player. I assume mine is rotted, but I'm trying to determine if it does indeed have the exclusive Dolby TrueHD track I remember it having. Can anyone confirm?

Something from like 2012? I guess? I’m curious

My collection with some dual layer writeable discs in there.

Greetings, and here it is when our dear Willy arrives in the blocking jungle and the famous burp error. An Extra Warner Cooks. I'll try to find another copy...

Saw these and had to get them. Gotta say there's a charm to dead Media. Just gotta get a HD player for my Xbox 😁

Not sure if this is the place to ask, so forgive me if this is inappropriate.

I've bought several copies to try and rip a back up for my personal server and every one either crashes my drive or flat out doesn't work.

That brings me to my questions.

1. Does anyone know of any tricks to get the discs to work?

2. Does anyone have a full rip of the disc (menus and all)?

3. Anyone willing to part out their working copy? I'll send it back if wanted!

Thanks

Hi. I'm looking to start a HD DVD collection. The format fascinated me and finding out that there's apparently no region coding was what pushed me to the edge. I haven't travelled in years but I'm thinking if I do start to travel again, having a collection of HD DVDs I can take anywhere with me would be really convenient.

With that in mind, I was looking for good players and the ones I've seen all seem quite large and bulky. The only exception to my knowledge is the XBOX 360 player but I'd need the lug the console with me. Are there any HD DVD players I could easily carry with me in a rucksack / backpack, suitcase, whatever, plus which should hopefully work anywhere (With a plug adapter ofc, plus I'm in the UK if that helps)

Before I go buying a random assortment, anyone happen to know the official dimensions of the power barrel jack on the Xbox 360 HD DVD player's power supply? (And it is just a regular barrel jack, right?) I was hoping to make something work with something I had, but nothing I have seems to be large enough on the inner diameter to fit the port's center pin.

The port appears to be roughly 5mm outer diameter and 2mm inner diameter with a ruler. Could that translate to 5.5mm x 2.5mm, which appears to be a standard size I'm seeing in various Aliexpress adapters? (And the 5.5x2.1 Genesis adapters don't fit.)

I miss AnyDVD. I just want to decrypt - I do not want to convert to any other format.

DVDFab can't do it (I emailed them and asked).

MKV changes the format.

I just set up a new IG account to unload a ton of discs I recently picked up. Weekly bidding format. Follow me at: https://www.instagram.com/520_filmfest

Thanks!

Grab these two titles today that I didn't have.
