The Chinese take a DVD case and put in a BDR drive of unknown quality. These aren't new drives, they're essentially fakes

Re: Comparing Pioneer UHD Models


Most likely old stock. BD production in Japan has ceased and new stock comes from other countries like Taiwan. Verbatims from Japan MEI T02 50GB were also very good. The new Verbatims 50 GB from Taiwan are just bad.

I bought enough SONY RE 100 and R128 during new year sales, after that price ...

Honestly, on the last ...

The plastic lens info for 212DBK comes from seller asmcom. Pioneer Europe told him
I think all Pioneers for retail users for the last 10-15 years have plastic lenses. Otherwise it would be item #1 on the pioneer website to show the advantages of the S models. But it shows 2 copper screws on the ...

Re: Comparing Pioneer UHD Models


To my knowledge the difference between S12 and 212 is that the S12s are coming with software and the 212 are OEM models w/o software.

S also has a different design and really more attractive and has better noise & dust reduction
but all Pioneers made better that LG/ASUS (which look cheap on the ...

Re: Comparing Pioneer UHD Models

Where is the info about glass lenses in Pioneer drives coming from?
I haven't seen that on the pioneer website in the marketing materials.
I have now 8 different Pioneers BDR 2xx Sxx Xxx (from 205 to X13).
The difference in recording quality of my drives depends more on the media and the accuracy of ...

Re: WH16NS40 Firmware for rip UHD


For the BC-12D2HT, I really couldn't say for sure which firmware is compatible with DVDFab, You could try BC-12D2HT 3.11-MK but it may not work as most (if not all) MK firmwares don't work with DVDFab. You could then maybe flash it to BC-12D2HT 3.00 firmware if you can find it. FYI, I do not ...
