The LG WP50NB40/BP50NB40 line is one of my favorite drives for media preservation. Out of the box, it could handle tons of disc types, and flashing it for MakeMKV made it even better. With the release of the OmniDrive Firmware back in February, the drive has only gotten better with support for more disc types. With the release of OmniDrive 1.0.3, getting the drive flashed for OmniDrive use has become easier than ever. In this video, I will show you how to flash a stock drive to the latest version of OmniDrive, as well as update a previously flashed drive to the latest version of OmniDrive!
