Did you try using /dev/sr0 ?

Yes, I have. No luck.

Go to the Linux directory with your issue.

Are you sure? 8801 indicates a S11 /211 drive.

i will have to check i have not powered mine on yet and probably wont for some time have a lot of xd08 to do
i assumed its the same hw as the x13 series as its in the same case and similar release date

X13s are 94xx. 8801 seems to be a S11 /211.

It bears mentioning that BDXL and UHD are different beasts. Physically, three-layer BDXL and UHD are almost identical, both using 33.3GB per layer and slightly shorter pits and lands than normal. But the BDA wanted to protect itself and licensed them separately. Any drive that is physically capable...

I already have a Pioneer, including the flash for it that I bought from BillyCar11. I am looking for something a bit cheaper as my main workhorse drive (e.g. ASUS or LG). Personally, I have had very good experiences with my Asus drives and they pretty much have been able to rip anything that I thro...

Hello, I have the same issue with the BDR-XD07UHD. None of my BR UHD 4K are readable with MakeMKV. Can you help me ?

US Even the LGs are hard to find and expensive. Get this Pioneer and contact me then. It can be flashed easily to make it UHD capable. https://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-Electronics-Internal-BDR-2209-BDR-209UBK/dp/B00GD792US/ref=sr_1_51?crid=318L6EJARAV9Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.N3Z-H38wIUqyNSx5RRXsSO3Jjp...

Verbatim 43888. it has a LG BU40N inside.

That unfortunately is an external slim drive. I need an internal drive.

Tell us your country of residence.

Given that Pioneer drives continue to be resolutely recommended despite being scarce as hens teeth, I wanted to share that I just purchased two Buffalo MediaStation BRXL-16U3 external drives and one was a Pioneer. The seller was "Woot" on Amazon. Probably old stock/overstock? The drive in...

I don't have much experience with cleaning discs like that. In theory I agree. :) I've only seen Billycar11 suggest the Q-tip and isopropyl alcohol method. Both of you have way more hands-on experience with optical drives than me. To my friends, I'm the weirdo with 5 optical drives in 2025 but that...

A CD cleaning disc does this w/o taking the drive apart.

I have been using MakeMKV without any issues for years with my old Lite-On blu-ray drive, and more recently on Linux (Mint). Last week, I purchased a new BW-16D1HT on Amazon, since it was recommended on the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2025 page. Now, when launching MakeMKV, it hangs ...
