Re: Pioneer BDR-S09XLT LibreDrive ready but not ripping UHD-discs

Post by bthanos »

Hello I have a Pioneer BDR-213M FW 1.04 .

Makemkv can rip Blue rays.

Libredrive says enabled and everything looks good, but when I insert 4K disc the program is reading but ends up in "No Disc Inserted" State.

Can someone help me out?

Unfortunately your firmware is Dec. 2022 and therefore too new and encrypted.
