I am taking a gamble and purchased a $60 pioneer BDR-UD03 on eBay from china. I took apart the verbatim and took out the BU40N and will slap the pioneer inside and see what happens. If it works it’ll be a nice pioneer drive with usb c connectivity. Will report back on how it goes.

~500 discs and it will die. Just happened to me. You may get lucky, but I’ve seen many post with similar results as me.

Thank you for the thoughtful response.

I have a couple follow up questions.

I just want to confirm the likeliness of a power issue if I’ve been able to put multiple discs through the BU04N and was only having trouble with this single disc? Albeit the only 3 layer disc I’ve tried yet. And it hasn’t ...

Thank you for your response. I did search, but couldn’t find the exact sting of errors and found conflicting suggestions as to the cause. For my knowledge can you elaborate as to what exactly in the logs points to a power issue?

Also, I’ll be reaching out to you soon regarding patching a pioneer ...

Hello, I am relatively new to Makemkv. I have put about over 100 discs through it, with 100% success rate. Mostly just DVDs and Blu Rays, I patched the firmware on the drive and was successfully able to rip star wars III 4k as my first UHD disc, but my second attempt at uhd has not followed that ...
