I get really confused and overwhelmed with all of the threads in this forum relating to UHD drives and all of the talk of flashing. Are there currently any external drives that are capable of ripping UHD discs out of the box? Most of my library is Blu Ray and I have been able to successfully rip mo...

Sorry to dig this up after such a long time, but I just found a Steelbook copy of Zombieland 4K, and I got the "Failed to open disc" error. When I searched the forums, I found this thread and it sounds like the AACS 2.1 discs are problematic. I was curious if the dumpfile would be helpful...

Hi, I have the exact same drive as you. I also flashed both firmwares one after the other. Unfortunately, I still have the same problem with UHD movies as you did at the beginning.

Hello, I have looked for hours and can not find the files to flash this Pioneer BDR-XD05S drive. I can use the command line if needed. Can anyone help? Not sure why this isn't more publicity available. The Pioneer flashing tools/firmware are not publicly available. Email your MakeMKV drive info &am...

Stock levels updated in first post. All Pioneer branded drives are now gone! There will be no more. I do still have some Verbatim 43887's with the Pioneer BDR-UD03 cross-flashed to BDR-UD04 firmware for UHD compatibility available. I have very limited stock of the Verbatim 43888's & 43889's with...

Hi all, After doing some investigation on Reddit in regards to flashing a 4K firmware onto my ASUS BW-16D1-XU drive, a user said I could use a firmware for what seems to be an LG drive (DE_LG_WH16NS60_1.02_MK) and it worked for that user. Trying to flash it onto my drive and it spits out an error, ...

I have a couple LG SP60NB50 optical drives I tired to used with MakeMKV but getting the read protection errors. What can be done in terms of flashing these to allow them to start making MKVs from my DVD library? There’s no flashing for these. They should work with MakeMKV as is. The issues you are ...

Hello, using the search I got opposing information about my drive, but this might be due to the time the comments were made. In 2023 the drive seemed not possible to flash, however a post from early 2026 sounded promising. Drive Information OS device name: D: Current profile: BD-ROM Manufacturer: P...

Do HP and H-L make LG BU40N’s? I found some on eBay for reasonable prices, but I just wanted to make sure they’re legit. They write 4K blu rays, right?

Yeah, they look legit. You rip 4k UHD discs. You don't write them as there is no such thing as writable 4k discs.

I've already tried uninstall device on Device Manager and restart pc, it doesn't work how am i going to fix this? . https://youtube.com/shorts/9p3Sp8miZoU The drive is probably not getting enough power. If it comes with a y-cable, ensure all plugs are connected. Also, use high powered USB ports dir...
