We currently have only 395 internal Pioneer drives left in stock, and they're selling rapidly. At this pace, we expect them to be sold out within ten days when we reopen on the 23rd July 2025 at 8:00 AM (UK time). Asmcom :mrgreen: Thank you very much. I have already entered an appropriate task into...

@Coopervid (and anyone else looking for a Pioneer right now) - 212V is currently available on Amazon and Newegg. Of course, it won't be patched like it would have been if I were to get it from Billycar or Asmcom, but when I eventually start using UHD discs I can reach out you folks and get it flash...

@asmcom Thank you very much for your reply. I have seen that your website has been closed for two weeks, and I am afraid that the Pioneers will be out of stock when it is reopened. I really hope that I can get one or two of them when you return from vacation. Do you have internal 5.25 drives in stoc...

So today I've got the replacement for the other disc (the disc the drive chew on for one or two minutes without recognizing it). Unfortunately, the drive is failing with the new disc in the same way. I am now convinced that this type of drive simply cannot read this disc. I have tested a dozens of o...

I now have got the first of the replacement discs (the one that the drive recognized, but could not read). It was indeed the disc that was defective. The drive could read the replacement disc without any issue. Unfortunately, the other disc will take longer to be replaced. Again, I'll report back wh...

@Coopervid @zittrig @MartyMcNuts Thanks a lot! I didn't expect such fast answers given that the thread was quite old and dead for a while. I'll follow your advice and try to clean the laser lens. I wouldn't have thought that this is important, but it sounds logical. I guess cleaning the discs wouldn...

I just bought the same drive and did some testing using Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. With HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin i get up around 15 read errors and the copy process is terminated. With HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BH16NS40-NS50-1.03-NM00000-211711201943.bin it wor...

@meket Thanks for the info, and sorry to revive that old thread. On your disc, are segment map 316 and segment map 549 exactly equal in duration? On my John Wick blu-ray (German, but not "Gentleman edition"), there are two segment maps with duration 1:41:50; this is segment map 549 and seg...

Well, that's not what you want to hear, but I'd like to support you at least by confirming that I have exactly the same problem.

Any ideas?

For those looking to backup the EU BD version (don't know whether the following is specific for a certain country only or for the whole EU, though): On my disc, there is only one possible playlist, 00002.mpls, which contains only one file, 00002.m2ts. All other playlists are below 2 GB and don't con...

Could anybody give a hint regarding the European / German version? In this version, there are 37 .m2ts files. The one with the highest number is 00046.m2ts. Notably, there are no files from the 00500 range. The only playlist which could be correct there is 00002.mpls, because this is the only one wh...

@Bübchen I suppose you have a Blu-Ray player. Would you mind telling us whether the chapters have titles in your version of the BD? I let VLC play the disc folder; it automatically picked the playlist you mentioned and showed 17 chapters as you said (in the "Playback" menu). The chapters d...

Hi guys :) Thanks very much for the awesome work you are doing. I just got a new drive and I don't want to do anything wrong. Could someone maybe please tell me the exact steps I need to take, and the firmware files I need to use? I am guessing I need to downgrade first, then upgrade to an "MK...
