Oh interesting. This is good to know. I probably will just keep it. I didn't spend alot on it so it it behaves and works like a pioneer drive then it's a plus I guess. Should be interesting how the drive business goes from here now that pioneer is out of the game. At least for now I got a good numbe...

Finally was able to do some produce some discs and have them tested thanks to Coopervid for the assistance. I"m not too familiar with reading the results. I would say from what I have been told the best results come from the pioneer burned discs. I hope I did everything correctly in burning the...

I use MPC-HC with madVR enabled to watch any 4k material. The issue has to do with tone mapping( I believe this is the correct term if i'm wrong someone let me know) 4k material has HDR picture properties that VLC is not displaying correctly. This is why your stuff is looking dark and grey. MPC-HC f...

So you have: Tool to flash to S11 for UHD Firmware 1.V5 for WH16NS58 wich allows to do burn quality checks. VPTools to do so You decide if you want to proceed. Yeah I'm down to do this. Should be interesting. Update: I got both drives flashed now and just need to pick up some blank blu-ray discs to...

I actually do have a LG full size drive. Its my first drive I ever got years ago and even flashed it. Haven't used it much since I started using pioneer drives. It still rips DVD/blu-ray fine enough but it doesn't do UHD discs. I should maybe do some tests on it.

I saw other listings when I went back to look yesterday that had the same serial number. Also ...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if I perhaps purchased a fake pioneer drive. The drive just looks different compared to the other pioneer drives I purchased before. I got it on ebay and the seller had good feedback. Maybe I'm just wrong but I would like some thoughts from the community. I will attac...

You shouldn't wait. If you can find them jump on them. I myself have another 212v coming just to have it as a spare. But shipping is like a month out so...

Yup I'm doing the same thing myself. Taking a break from buying hats to save for a few drives haha.

Just to clarify if I'm buying a Pioneer drive that is a 4k model and would not need to be flashed and was made in 2023..that would still work with makemkv? Not for UHD currently. Only Pioneer drives with firmware prior to December 2022 are/can be made UHD compatible. Sometime in the future, those w...
