I just got a Pioneer BDR-XD08B (not from Billy). I want to flash it so that it can handle UHD and can work with makemkv.

Here's what makemkv says about my drive:

Just ordered XD08S. Looking forward to getting it.

I just ran MakeMKV. It downloaded "latest HK," seems to be working.

Got the latest KEYDB.cfg. Still does not work for me.

Working at the segment level yielded a good file (.mkv). Details:

1) Segment 14 (00014.m2ts), reported by File Explorer and by VLC with a length of 3:02, seems to contain nothing. When I played the segment in VLC and also in MPV, each showed black for the 3:02 of the segment and had no sound. I ...

The title I cited is the only one that is anywhere near the correct length.

I used MakeMKV v1.65.5 win-x64 to get .mkv files from disc 2 of Visconti's "Ludwig." The second file produced, LUDWIG - Disc 2_t01.mkv, is the second half of the film and is 1:54:54 (according to Windows File Explorer and also VLC) in length. Unfortunately this file lacks audio for the first 3 ...

I was so eager to flash that I didn't try the drive first. Stupid, I know.

Oops, I forgot: Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I found no 1.04 binary in the "old" MK firmware directory. So I used HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS40-NS50-1.03-NM00600-211711211653.bin (1.03) instead. I then used the original WH16NS40 1.05 flasher. At the end, I rebooted my system, as I was prompted by the flasher.

Here's what MakeMKV says now (note that ...

I've now tried 3-4 4K discs, at least 1 HD disc and at least 1 DVD. No good.

I've noticed that the drive takes rather a long time in trying to read a disc, certainly in comparison with my LG Slim BP60NB10, which has been working like a charm. (I've kept the latter unplugged in my experiments with ...

Sticker further says SVC CODE:NS50.

The sticker on top of the drive says it was manufactured February 2021.

(And I just went through powering off the computer, and unplugging it, for about a minute. Same problem with MakeMKV.)
