Pioneer BDR-UD03 UHD possibility

[Eisbaerle]

@Coopervid: I do appreciate your invaluable commitment for makemkv and the forum's requests. As a sign of my appreciation and the attitude of not expecting everything for free, I did buy the makemkv SW key. However, I do not and will not have Paypal access. Also, I am not allowed to send private messages. So I seem to be at my limits of showing my gratitude.

does not seem to read 4k blueray discs. I have a registered copy of makemkv and i bought it to replace a drive that i used with makemkv that was stolen from me. I did some searching and found this thread. Can it be made into a libredrive for makemkv?

Hi Coopervid,

I just purchased this Verbatim 43887 drive (Pioneer BDR-UD03).

Is it possible to update it so that it works with UHD discs?

Thanks!

Ask Marty or Billy. I'm out for now with one-time-posters. Thanks to another one-time-poster.

Good day,

First time poster.
I see that quite a few other folks have received help with flashing the firmware on their BDR-UD03 to a UHD-compatible variant, and I want to ask if someone would be willing to help.

This is the drive:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-UD03
Revision: 1.14
Firmware date: 2020-06-15
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 53

LibreDrive stats as follows:
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8511
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-US03
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.14
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes


I understand the importance of reading/following the tutorial for flashing the firmware to BDR-UD04.

Let me know if someone can help, I’ll be watching my PMs if someone can.

Thank you in advance!
