Re: Did I purchase a fake pioneer drive BDR-209

Read here what czary2mary in the cdrinfo.pl forum posted about these drives. It's old hardware put in QSI cases.. The solution to this problem is very simple and has been known for a long time.

Re: Are Pioneer drives *that* much better at ripping scuffed blurays?

You can maybe still find a Vinpower 212V on Newegg or Amazon. It needs to be flashed. Post when you have it. Is that still the best option even if I'm not concerned with UHD compatibility right now? Supposedly all Pioneer drives will be compatible in the future. Yes. Production has stopped. You wil...

Re: Ocean's 11

Wow! Fixed already? I did two things. I downloaded a new version of keydb.cfg and also renamed it to KEYDB.cfg. Don’t know which fixed it but now the Ocean’s Eleven disc works fine. :D If anything was done, thanks to those involved. You need to use the synchronize option of FindVUK. It updates the ...

Re: Are Pioneer drives *that* much better at ripping scuffed blurays?

You've got to hurry. Yes. They are better readers and writers. And ASUS / LG's tend to die early. So what Pioneer drive would you recommend of the ones that are still available? I'm not concerned about UHD compatibility right now since apparently all Pioneer drives should work in the future. An ext...

Thank you for confirming. But I don’t see the WH16NS58 MK firmware in the “all you need” firmware pack. Where would I find it?
