Hey there was looking into starting to rip more media for my collection. I was wondering if Make MKV would rip the Atmos/True HD track from 4k discs and if that is the case would love to flash this drive. It is an older one based on what I am seeing on this thread but the meta data suggests it is the better Pioneer based model. Any help/tips would be appreciated.

Hi!

Seeing as though there seems to be a lot of drives that is capable of flashing to a 4k-ripping capable state, I figured I'd try my luck as well. My hopes are low seeing as there's hardly any mentions of this exact drive, but I'd like to be sure that I'm not missing anything. This is my drive:

Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1H-U
Revision: E104
Firmware date: 2017-06-14
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 31

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8600
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-209
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: E104/ID71
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

If there is any way to get this 4k-ripping capable I would really apreciate the help!
