For the problem of 1.17.6/7+ not working with a non-LibreDrive (on Linux), the best workaround is probably the sdf_Stop setting. See e.g. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=41692

While many Pioneer drives / firmware are supported as LibreDrive, not all of them support UHD. "Modern" models (i.e. those have full BDXL support) can often be crossflashed with firmware from "sibling" models to gain the UHD support. There are also a few firmware that are not sup...

Do you really mean like it's the first time you have UHD BD inserted into the drive? Has the drive been flashed with MK firmware yet? Or does it still have the stock firmware?

Better post the LibreDrive information shown by MakeMKV btw.

EDIT: Ah I misread your post. Never mind then I guess.

are they using the exploit to publish this?

You need to update your board to phpBB 3.3.17 immediately. ALL versions from 3.1.0 to 3.3.16 (which covers over 10 years of phpBB releases) contain a critical vulnerability CVE-2026-48611.

Lol good question

Lol why would you click purchase after entering a (beta) key. You are supposed to click register. Purchase (currently down I think) is for you to obtain a permanent key.

along with its included 12V/2A power adapter

I don't think that part matters though. Most likely neither the adapter nor the drive will / can draw power from the 12V and I doubt that it has any 12V to 5V conversion. The 12V should only matter when it's a 3.5" HDD / 5.25" ODD.

Or, if that doesn't work, can also consider removing (or renaming) the whole .MakeMKV directory in your home / user directory, just in case some old residue files (sdf.bin?) there somehow "suppresses" the support.

If there's just one DVD you particularly want to make 24p playback working (in mkv), you can PM me and share either the backup or mkv remux of it with me (through e.g. Google Drive). (Don't post it in a reply here though.) If it's a clean pulldown I can send you back an mkv with the pulldown removed.

Are you using some old version of MakeMKV? As per the list here the BDR-211M 8801ID60 1.52 firmware should be supported as LibreDrive. The firmware itself should have UHD support, so you don't need to crossflash. Nevertheless you could update to 1.53, but neither does the official updater nor BDRFla...

Well the Sony player I have is a UHD BD player. IIRC I have once tested it with an NTSC 24p DVD, and it does trigger 24p playback and 24Hz output. (I don't remember if I have tested whether it still does so if I enable 4K upscaling.) At the end of the day it's all about whether there's any "tri...

My only consumer player (Sony UBP-X700) doesn't support ISO playback (AFAIK), which was at least one of the reasons that I wrote a program for removing soft pulldown on MPEG-2 video. The other way to go would be to play the disc or a burnt copy (especially with region code problem considered) direct...

"NTSC 24p" (aka 23.976p) DVD normally (if not always) come with "soft pulldown" which are "instructions" / metadata that are embedded through out the MPEG-2 video stream (for turning the NTSC 24p to some sort of NTSC 30p/60i "hybrid"). The Matroska muxing from...

If by "old DVD of local events" you really mean some DVD+/-R, it's probably not very surprising that disc rot has occured to it. In that case you might want to use ddrescue or alike to salvage what can possibly be from the disc.

The problem with the situation here is not so much that MakeMKV might be tampered. Rather it is that the we have no idea what the "extra layer" might contain, e.g. something that trigger / leverage a loophole or so in gzip or tar. (Of course it is not very likely for it to be malicious or ...

Btw BDRFlash (NOT Billy's auto flasher; although if it also uses nothing more than SPTI it should work as well) can be used on Linux through wine. It's just that instead of using the "dosdevice" / "drive letter" automatically created by wine (which points to /dev/sr*), you need t...
