So far, I have been unable to rip Star Trek Beyond UHD. Hacksaw Ridge has also been fraught with errors.

You need a Pioneer drive for hard to rip discs. Check this:

Also make sure the drive gets enough USB power. Ports on the back side of a desktop are better or a powered USB hub helps. I'll give this a shot as well. I have been running it in the same, side USB port this entire time. Unfortunately my laptop only has USB C on the back so I'll have to use a USB ...

It's unlikely that it fails so soon but you should maybe clean the laser lens with a cotton swab and alcohol and then dry it with a cotton swab.

If you are on Windows you should use KeyDB_helper to get the newest keys.

CDs and DVDs use the red laser while BDs and UHDs use the blue laser. Seems that the red laser is dead.

Hi CooperVid,

Are you able to assist me with the flasher for this drive:

Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-UD03
Revision 1.14
Firmware data: 2020-06-15
Drive Platform: RS8511
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-US03
Firmware version: 1.14

Thank you in advance

PM is coming.

Can you ship to USA? Yes, but shipping from Germany to the US is currently a bit tricky due to the tariff situation. I can send the package via DHL for €26.49 (=$30.78) and declare it as a personal gift. Personal gifts valued below $100 are still exempt from duty and tax. There is a chance that the...

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.

Post your Makemkv info. No need to pay $40.

@Coopervid - wondering if specifically the BDR-UD03FAL with a mfg. date of Jan 2017 can be flashed to read 4K UHD, and if you could kindly provide those details via PM. Thank you!

Provide the Makemkv info and I will send the flasher if possible to flash.

The unmodified firmware was extracted from the flasher and can't read UHDs. The MK firmware has issues with burning discs. Otherwise stick just with the MK. So for reference, this would be the "original" 1.V5 non-MK firmware you were talking about, right? [1] / [2] (same file) Looking wit...

Thanka cooper! I emailed Question? Are these pioneers these that rip hard to rip disks? I could use backup either way just curious. Thanks! Yes. The only thing that you need to know that rip speed for all Pioneers and UHD discs is limited to 4x speed. But better slower and successful than a failed ...
