Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

So a 2-year-old firmware still hasn't gotten supported, that's sad to hear. I'm still holding out hope, though the hope is slim. You have to wait until Mike comes up with a solution for which there is currently no timeline. However, Mike has at least stated that a solution exists for all such Pionee...

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

Yeah. I'll just wait for Mike, as the Pioneer drive I purchased 3 years ago still works fine otherwise. It would be a pitty to have to make space for another drive in my limited space. Well, it's safe to say that this will be the first and only time I'll purchase a UHD Blu-Ray disk. I thought I had ...

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

Well, it's safe to say that this will be the first and only time I'll purchase a UHD Blu-Ray disk. I thought I had future-proofed myself 3 years ago when I bought the UHD drive, only to find out this past weekend that it doesn't work. Hopefully a solution will come soon. You guys are a group of very...

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

Wow, so it looks like I need to get my hands on a drive soon. But that means the one I already have... Hmm, all this is sad to hear, but thank you! And, I am in the USA. If you had purchased the drive a little sooner you would've been able to avoid the unfortunate Pioneer firmware. The short history...

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

Oh no, and I didn't do anything to the drive. This condition was what it came in.

And wow, it's been 3 years and no solution? Perhaps I'm really unfortunate. And it took me 3 years to find out, too, LOL.

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

Hi everyone, Hope you are well. I just got a UHD Blu-Ray set that contains 2 regular Blu-Ray discs and one UHD disc. I'd like to get the copy of the film off the UHD as it has a Dolbe Atmos audio track and a Dolbe Digital audio track with English language audio description for the blind (that's the ...

Re: Newbie, Needs Help

Great. Thank you for answering my questions. I'll also email Mike and give him any files he might need. I've gotten in touch with him, too. Hopefully this will move something forward. I only have one blu-ray / ultra blu-ray disk, so I'll wait for his updates instead of buying a drive exclusively to ...

Newbie, Needs Help

Hello everyone, Hope this message finds you well. I bought a Blu-Ray drive that supports UHD in late 2022. I've never had a chance to use the Blu-Ray portion of the drive, until now. And I find that when working with standard Blu-Ray disks, the read speed is very slow. Also, I'm encountering an erro...
