Re: Pioneer BDR-212DBK vs BDR-212V

For those who have asked or may ask in the future here is the link for what I bought from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R89FN61?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 The most current firmware on the Vinpower Digital website is still v1.02 date 09/27/2022 so you should still be able to c...

Re: Blu-ray Drive Questions & Recommendations

This is my first Blu-ray burner so I've never burned a BD yet. It's been a year or two since I've burned and DVDs. I still burn an occasional audio CD or boot recovery CD but that's it. If you catch them on sale you can get enterprise level 16-20 TB HDDs for $260 USD or less. If you spin them up and...

Re: Blu-ray Drive Questions & Recommendations

I'm guessing if you want to burn BDXL you need to start off with a nnnUxx drive with a more powerful laser and accurate head mechanism.

The 212DBK and 212V do not natively support BDXL according to the spec sheets.

Re: Pioneer BDR-212DBK vs BDR-212V

Correction, March 2022 mfg date. Anyway, thanks to @Coopervid I was able to cross-flash the drive. Wanted to use the drive a bit to see if it was problem free.

Re: Pioneer BDR-212DBK vs BDR-212V

Thanks for the replies. Further research tells me that in DBK, D means the drive does not support DVD-RAM media and BK is for Black front piece color. I would guess there is also White and Grey/Putty colors available. V stands for VinPower, a manufacturer/seller of duplication towers and software. T...

Pioneer BDR-212DBK vs BDR-212V

Does anybody know what the difference is between the Pioneer BDR-212DBK and the BDR-212V? The specs look identical on the Pioneer website....
