Does the Pioneer BDR-S13UBK require flashing?
worse it cant be flashed currently by the public so if the fw is after 12/2022 you cant rip uhd with it.
for now pioneers you must buy from a flasher like me marty or asmcom we can flash pioneers.
@ Billy
Can you flash the S13UBK as well?
Thanks

You need to post your Makemkv info of your drive. FW must be older than Dec 2022.

Hi there - I am trying to flash my drive using the guide while using MacOS. I cannot download "sdf.bin" as part of the flashing process. When I go to the linked site I receive a message from Chrome saying the site "unexpectantly closed the connection."

Do I have the correct link? Per the guide, it should be:
https://makemkv.com/sdf.bin

ASUS BW-16D1HT does not read the disk after brushing 3.10MK firmware.
Now I can't flash back the firmware I backed up, and I'm at a loss.
Do any good people know that I can still be saved?
When I opened the it to observe its working state, I found that it seems that only the tray is still working at present ...

Does anyone happen to have the sdf.bin handy? Downloading it from the website isn't working since certificate seems to have expired.

I just registered just to say THANK YOU! I just flashed my LG BP60 drive using the SDF Flasher GUI and it seems to worked perfectly. Now to learn how to backup my UHD discs so that I can share them to my Apple TVs. Thanks again.

hey all, I have the LG BP60NB10 and ripped several discs successfully. Last night I ripped a disc and a few times it was making a buzzing sound for a few seconds. it sounded like something was touching a spinning fan or something. has anyone experienced this before?

Perhaps your disc wasn't clicked in correctly or maybe the disc is slightly warped?
Cheers :D

I took out the disc and put it back in and made sure it was in properly. Maybe it was warped. but if it was warped, wouldn't the noise have happened throughout the entire ripping process? the noise only happened a few times and it was only for a couple of seconds each time.

In that case it sounds more like seeking noises, which is nothing to worry about.

That can't be normal. Anyways, I put the disc on my granit countertop and saw that the disc was a little warped. Hiw does a disc warp? From heat?

Yeah, heat is one cause. It's also possible it may have been warped during the pressing process.

If it is a new disc, can you return it for a replacement? Just tell them it is defective as it is slightly warped causing scraping noises during playback.
