I did some research on the 211M that i bought in 2017. apparently, subsequent firmware updates from pioneer didn't add additional restrictions like updates from LG and Asus did. so i'm very happy with the 211M.

OK, so i integrated it, and yes, VLC does play blu-ray on the fly. Fantastic. So now my Pioneer 211M can rip and play 4K discs with the help of MKV. So do pre-flashed drives from folks like Billcar11 enable you to do something that I can't do with my current setup? Do those players allow you to play...

So if someone buys one of these pre-flashed UHD friendly drives i hear about on this forum, are they able to play back discs on the fly with VLC, or do they still have to rip to a file with mkv and then view? My other question is Slysoft has not been around for a number of years, but it still was ab...

Pioneer locked to the supplied powerdvd software to the drive for 4k viewing. my pc is now pretty old and doesn't pass some CyberAdvisor powerdvd tests to enable 4k including: NO intel SGX tech on CPU/motherboard (Kab...

what about current generation LG and Asus 5.25" internal?

Thanks for the update. So what are my options for getting / ripping UHD on my desktop PC? I assume that would mean some other model of burmer, which I don't mind purchasing. Any insight on this?

Will Pioneer BDR-211M play UHD with the right flashing, and if so, what flashing do i use? Here is a screen shot of MakeMKV with the particulars. This is with a 1080 blu-ray inserted. It won't play the blu-ray. I get an error, which is also shown below. Not sure if it is simply because I haven't pur...
