PIONEER BDR-209 change the Firmware ?

[Coopervid]

I am thinking about getting a pioneer BDR-209-DBK is drives firmware libre drive capable? coopervid can you please pm me. Thank you

No need to PM. Get a drive if you still can and post your Makemkv info. Hopefully it has a firmware before 12 / 2022. Otherwise you have to wait until Mike has a fix for newer firmware. No ETA for that.

I have one of these on stock firmware 1.34 and have been looking for options.

Can't currently get MakeMKV to work despite downloading and installing from official links (v1.18.1) as it keeps saying:

This application version is too old. Please download the latest version at HTTP://www.makemkv.com/ or enter a registration key to continue using the current version.

Now I can't remember installing a previous version, but I was going to share the info from the drive and not sure how to do it. I can try with Linux later this week, as I dual boot with Ubuntu, or I can run another distro just for this.

I have other drives I can try but this is the one I was hoping to use.
