I see I am a little late to the party! This is great news! I am glad I kept my Pioneer that had unflashable firmware as a spare!

I got a Pioneer drive from Billycar11 and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The drive works well! No issues. Communication was quick and clear and shipping was good as well. Overall I recommend Billy for anyone needing a drive that will rip 4k UHD blu rays.

I don't know but I think it can do BDXL. I was wondering if it can do it or not. I don't know if it needs to be flashed.

We've spent the past 2 years wishing, but nothing has happened yet .

Pioneer firmware >= December 2022 is notorious.

Okay. Thanks.

I think it is better now. What did you see? Sorry.

Does anybody have issues with the Queen Disc 2 like this:

[Thanks. I cleaned the disk There are still some circular marks on it. I got this:

Too many hash check errors in file 00002.m2ts.

Err, yes. But did you use a Pioneer drive?

No I don't have one. An Asus and an LG ...

IIRC this particular disk is notoriously bad. I suspect you would need a Pioneer drive to rip it successfully.

Thanks.

I ripped this disc to backup and got one debug 0 code which I read doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem. I used that backup to create an MKV and the program said there were several av sync issues. Is that going to present a problem on playback?

Thanks yes have tried that.

I didn't see a better place to put this so, here is my necropost. My HD DVD drive has been happily ripping discs using AnyDVD (blasphemy). But my drive (I forget the model no.) won't even recognize three HD DVD's I have from a box set: Blade Runner-5 Disc Special Edition. Has anybody found a way to ...
