I wish that there was a setting for users to decide to either keep or delete the failed file(s)

Some older version of MakeMKV and now the latest version exhibit a behavior whereby if there is an error while ripping, the incomplete file is not deleted. I am not sure in which version this issue was fixed but I have been using version 1.17.9 which works correctly. i.e. if I am ripping say 9 title...

Pioneer UHD drives are now supported

Great news! With this external drive I copied three UHD movies to my hard disk. One title: GLADIATOR 2000.

Where are the instructions for flashing new UHD capable firmware Pioneer drives?

Wanted to just update this forum that I placed an order on Jan 9th for the Verbatim 43888 drive https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTP9VKX on Amazon.com (sold and shipped by was Amazon Germany). The tracking said Australia Post Global that the item was shipped from Germany. The drive box had 1st pic menti...

Hi there. I'm doing this for the first time and just wanted to make sure I have a compatible drive. I got an LG BH16NS40 manufactured in April of 2024. Will this work, or is it back to the shop for this one? As per the 1st post of this thread, you should be good if all the requirements are met. Ple...

They are technically the same and you can flash to make it either an ASUS or a LG. Any reason you don't consider a Pioneer? I should check if they are available in Italy. Anyway, Alex Coluzzi told me that the LG is not so good and it will not last a lot. The Pioneer are those on the 1st page? 1 dri...

I got 2 Pioneer S13UBK from Amazon, but one came with a few 1.04 which currently is not Libre supported. The other is fine on fw 1.03 As I am still in my 30 day return window, I can get another S13UBK and hope it has 1.03 fw or I can get the BDR-XD08UMB-S Of the 2 which has the better hardware for ...

Same experience for me that my LG WH16NS40 drive (installed in my PC) stopped reading and/or ripping my BR and UHD movies. It would not even read the previously ripped discs. I purchased the Pioneer BDR-XD08UMB-S and so far it has been flawless. Keeping my fingers crossed, that it does not die after...

which pioneer model would be best to get?

I do not know about best, but I got the BDR-XD08UMB-S from Amazon. It just works.

I recommend downloading the Pioneer BD-Drive Utility from their website as it allows customization of the drive's performance. Did you explore this utility? I did not find any comprehensive documentation regarding various options. I see the explanation at high level but wary of causing long term ha...

Either I'm doing something horribly wrong, those drives are junk, or the firmware is asking the drives to do something they're not really capable of. Just buy the out-of-box UHD capable pioneer drives if you can, and save yourself much angst and $$. I had a failure of LG WH16NS40 after approx. 15 m...

The XD07UHD is 160 USD here, which I consider a lot for a 4x speed. Not to mention from some unknown online shop. Are there any differences with the other ones in recommended section terms of noise? I have no idea if a drive can have other benefits besides it's speed and noise. Maybe enclosure comp...

I am looking to purchase a BDR-XS07UHD in the US, but I can not find it sold by Amazon or any other reputable dealer. Any recommendations? Any particular reason for not going with BDR-XD08UMB-S? It is available for $140 + taxes directly from Pioneer https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/...

Be careful. Only the XD08UMB-S is UHD compatible. If you can still get an older version I would recommend the BDR-XS07UHD which might be more affordable. In USA, the XD08UMB-S is easily available from Pioneer or Amazon for $140. I could not find a reliable retailer to get the XS07UHD. If a pioneer ...
