Your second, lower box is wrong. You NEED to choose a full size drive firmware like LG WH16NS60 1.02 firmware. Putting BU40 firmware in the second box won't help. Besides that the flasher seems to think that a disc is in your drive. So fix your first issue and try again. And you need to check RECOVE...

Show us a picture of Marty's flasher to see what's in the 2 boxes before you hit START.

Good evening @Coopervid, I stumbled upon this post as I am finding via research that this drive can read 4K UHD discs, but placing one inside the device results in No disc.

If I open MakeMKV and then connect the drive, I am able to open the .IFO file manually and rip the streams. However, I'm trying to make a backup of the disc (ISO), and I can't do that in manual mode. Thanks.

Rip it and use Imgburn to create the ISO.

Thank you for the reply. I will post the info when the drive is received! Out of curiosity, what is the benefit of flashing a different firmware if the drive is compatible with MakeMKV out of the box?

This drive can only read BDs out of the box. You don't seem to know what UHDs are. Google.

Greetings! I recently purchased a Pioneer BDR-212BK. In reading through forum posts, it appears that there is no need to flash a LibreDrive firmware to this drive, as it should be fully compatible with MakeMKV right out of the box - is that correct? Even if that is correct though, is there still a ...
