As I understand it, the Verbatim 43888 isn't affected by the updated Pioneer firmware situation.
Thanks! :!:

Do you have any resources you could share that brought you to this understanding?

Re: MakeMKV vs. Handbrake

Re: Looking for a flashed pioneer drive in Germany

Try the Verbatim 43888. It contains a Pioneer BDR-UD04 inside and should work out of the box. This one ? For the flashing guide, I just read this: PSA now most Pioneers come with new fw that prevents them from be crossflashed or downgraded do not buy one for UHD at this time So „Pioneer“ is not suc...

Re: Looking for a flashed pioneer drive in Germany

It is not pre-flashed but is it safe to get this BP60NB10 from Amazon? I mean the model number is listed in the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide but the guide also says, that "just because your drive is the same model number does not mean it will work". So ...

MakeMKV vs. Handbrake

Hello, I am new to all of this so I apologise for my stupid questions in advance. In Handbrake I can chose the chose the target codec to encode to, but it seems I cannot do that in MakeMKV So I have these questions: 1.

Re: Which drive should I get?

drive buying suggestion for blue-ray ripping on MacOS

I have compiled a big personal collection of movie blue-rays and regular DVDs. I now would like to use my new 16" M2 MacBook Pro to make a digital backup copy of all of them (probably using Handbrake). Can you suggest a decent external blue-ray player for USB-C/Thunderbolt that works well on a ...
