Hi there, Coopervid! I recently picked up a BDR-212V as a backup when I heard Pioneer was getting out of the business, and I'd like to get it working with LibreDrive. I'd appreciate hearing from you!

Read your PM.

Good day @Coopervid,
I know this is an old post but hopefully you're still active
I have a Pioneer VD-RW BDR-212V still running Firmware 1.00

Could you please share your guidance!
Thank you

Hi, Coopervid! I think my previous message waiting in the moderation queue (I'm a new registrant) means you might have missed it, and I can't send PMs yet, so sorry if this is repeating a message you've already seen.

No disc inserted

Just curious. When I put a DVD in the drive, makemkv just spins trying to load the disc.
I can mount the drive and see the directory structure. So the drive appears to work, and this disc works fine in other drives.
Do we expect to get makemkv to do anything with this drive in stock form? Or is the reflash required for all types of discs?

Let the os see the disc first then open makemkv
