Re: Anyone Own and have experience with BDR-UD03X from Pioneer

Post by Iraijus »

Greetings,

I am very new to both makemkv and this forum. I recently purchased the Verbatim 43889, that, apparently, has the BDR-UD03 (same drive info as guymid). Am I understanding correctly that there is a way to flash it, that would allow it to read 4K UHD discs? If so, I would like to know how.

Thank you in advance.
