How are we supposed to use our computers and VLC for disc playback once the drive we own dies? Are there ways for PCs to read discs with Blu-ray players, such as the Magnetar UDP-800 or UDP-900, Oppo UDP-203 or UDP-205, Panasonic DP-UB150, DP-UB420, DP-UB450, DP-UB820, or DP-UB9000, Pioneer UDP-LX50...

I noticed they were all gone from major retailers when I checked. If LG and ASUS can no longer be purchased from major retailers, I guess loading discs on to PCs will be coming to an end once the drives we own die, unless someone figures out a way to get regular Blu-ray players to act as PC drives....

Pioneer and LG are no longer making optical drives. ASUS don't make optical drives, they were sourcing OEM from LG and Pioneer, so there's really nobody manufactuinrg drives. Bummer! So are you saying we are shit out of luck once our drives die? Maybe now would be a good time to see if I can find a...

It appears Pioneer is no longer manufacturing optical drives anymore. It looks like LG and Asus drives will still be in production at least for now.

So basicly, if my BDR-212UBK dies, are any of the models which end in 13 libredrive AND UHD compatible? Or would I be shit out of luck if I buy one of the newer models as far as UHD Blu-ray is concerned?

When you say the 213 won't do UHD Blu-rays, do you only mean it won't play them? Being that it can now do libredrive mode, will it still be able to rip 4K Blu-rays?

When and how did THIS miracle happen? 1.05 is still the latest firmware. If Pioneer releases new firmware, will libredrive mode still work? Also, my 212 is four and a half years old. So I don't know if I'll have to replace it in less than a year. If I replace it with a 213 on the latest firmware, wi...

That stinks. Don't own any UHD blurays anyhow. Makemkv still worked though. No way to roll back? Thanks

I made the same fatal mistake with my awesome BDR-212UBK. I feel your pain.

Is there a way to flash this back to the latest firmware that supports Libredrive whether 1.03 or 1.02? Will support for Pioneer drives with upgraded firmware eventually be supported? Unaware I'd lose compatibility, I upgraded my BDR-212UBK from 1.02 to: Drive Information OS device name: D: Manufac...

While Pioneer is my favorite, we all know the sad situation with those if you update them to a firmware released after Mike added LibreDrive support to it. I've had better luck with Lite On before my 4K UHD days. This seems to be the only Blu-ray drive on Liteon's site. Will it work well with MakeMK...

I just upgraded my BDR-212UBK from 1.02 to 1.05. It's no longer a libreDrive. I wish I discovered this thread before I did this. I do believe in firmware updates for the sake of bug fixes, read/write issues with certain discs, etc.. At least with LG, MK firmware is released not long after the offici...
