Re: Need Help

I've never heard of NewEgg before, and I see they list different pioneer models as well, but extremely pricy for not knowing what you're going to get :/ Many of the pictures on there were taken from Yahoo auctions as well.

Re: Is the BU40N still the best overall choice?


Problem solved. I connected my computer via HDMI 2.1 through a home theater receiver, and then to the HISENSE C1 4K. The receiver took over the sound, and the HISENSE C1 4K took over the image. The sound is in Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. :D


I have no clue why you didn't use the receiver from the ...

Re: New Software from DVDfab on downgrading UHD drives... Is this good?



By reading the English in this forum, I don't think makemkv is being developed in the US or the EU... at least I would expect better English from a seasoned programmer..


This comment seems a bit unfair considering most of the research and software focused on AACS 1.0/2.0/2.1 was produced by ...

Re: UK Advice: Best 4K Ripping Strategy Given Strict Case, Environmental, & Lifespan Constraints?

there are plenty of sellers here on the forum that has pioneer drives for sale, it seems. If you have a cat that jumps on the drive, it won't matter if its a slim or a 5.25-drive while ripping, it will shake it and make a bad dump :)

Re: New Software from DVDfab on downgrading UHD drives... Is this good?


Yeah, but I asking myself if they've developed this procedere by their own or perhaps it's copied / stolen from the originals?!

I don't know how difficult this is, even for a expierienced programmer.


they might have debugged bdrflash and copied firmware for a while, and they might just ...

these are all from japanese auctions sites, cheaper getting them from japan, and you also get a more correct description.

Re: What are the reasonable prices?

I wonder if this is a smart buy, a new in box BDR-XD05R2, it's an auction, not just sure what it's worth, it is a pioneer after all :)

Re: SAT8801 / RS8801 - MIPS OR ARM?


To get fw out of the flasher it's pretty easy you just went a bit to complicated for it

With a extraction tool like 7zip just extract the exe
And then again extract the updater.exe

Then in the rsc and then bin folder there will be kernel and fw

But this fw won't work with bdr flash it has to ...
