Hello everyone, I got a question regarding Pioneer drives. In the last few weeks I got a hand on 8 Pioneer drives in external ASUS enclosures, 4 of them are BDR-209MBK and 4 of them should be BDR-212T according to MakeMkv. The BDR-209MBK were flashed by me to the S11J and the BDR-212T to BDR-S12U. ...

Let me add a bit of information for future reference. The Pioneer RS8591 drive platform used in the Asus SB C ‑06D2X‑U cannot be flashed. For UHD discs, the suitable option is the RS8511 drive platform found in the Asus SB W ‑06D2X‑U. That drive can be crossflashed to a Pioneer BDR‑UD04. The RS8591...

It has no equivalent in Pioneer's retail lineup. This drive was most likely developed specifically for Seiko Corp. (Epson). Technically, it uses hardware very similar to the Pioneer BDR‑209/S09 - the same ONP‑8342A mainboard and the Renesas R8J32740FP42 chipset. The only differences are OPU and dif...

Hello. Just got this drive: Drive Information OS device name: G: Manufacturer: PIONEER Product: BD-RW BDR-S09 Revision: 1.10 Serial number: MLDL002787WL Firmware date: 2013-10-15 Bus encryption flags: 1B LibreDrive Information Status: Enabled Drive platform: RS8600 Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-209 Fi...

You forgot to say thank you.

One last question. I downloaded and started the keydb helper. It writes the keydb.cfg file to the folder C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\aacs The keydb website says to copy the keydb.cfg file to the following folder?? C:\Users\name\.MakeMKV Which is correct? KeyDB_helper loads it in the first directo...

More power was the solution. What is the advantage of copying the keydb.cfg file into the .makekmkv folder? There's a keydb-deu and a keydb-eng file. Should I use the keydb-eng file? The keydb.cfg file is usually more up-to-date regarding keys compared to Makemkv itself.It also supports the newest ...

The problem was probably with my mini PC. I reinstalled makemkv on my server with a 700W power supply and a USB-C to USB-C cable, and it reads the UHD without any problems. I don't know what insufficient power has to do with the inability to decrypt it, though. Power issues create all kinds of weir...

Thaank you, for the info. Next try with Jurassic World Dominion Can'T read the disc. Der Volumenschlüssel für die DVD/Blu-ray ist unbekannt - das Video kann nicht entschlüsselt werden next disc the same: AACS-VID kann nicht gelesen werden - höchstwahrscheinlich wird das AACS-Hostzertifikat durch Ih...

Ok, I flashed it. I just inserted a UHD disc, and it's reading it without any problems (so far) at 6x speed. That's very good. What I find strange is that I can no longer select the "Save selected titles" function (3rd button). And another question: If I check the boxes in the Integration...

No boot loader. Just the default options and "Write".
