ASUS BD-12D1S-U external drive with pioneer bdr-209

[figdc]

Hi,

I'm new to flashing drives and am reading a lot of conflicting information about my drive specifically. I have an Asus BD-12D1S-U external drive that contains a pioneer bdr-209. Is it at all possible to flash or cross flash this drive to work with UHD discs?

Send me a PM and copy & paste the complete Makemkv info about your drive it it.

Hi,

I have the same drive in the ASUS enclosure, but mine is a little old. I removed the drive from the enclosure and connected it directly to SATA to hopefully make flashing easier, but I can easily add it back.

Here is the Makemkv info for my drive:

Drive Information

I am guessing that the drive hardware is too old, but wanted to make sure.

Thanks!

Same applies to you. Too many one-night-stands that disappear. I'm sick and tired of these.

Hi Coopervid,

I have the same model as the other users in this thread. I purchased a license for MakeMKV but this forum doesn't allow new registrants with a low post count to initiate PMs.

Could you kindly send me a PM and I will respond promptly with the complete MakeMKV info. Thanks for offering to help us!

Please copy & paste your Makemkv information here (just the text from the status). You are not yet allowed to send PMs therefore that doesn't work.

Perfect! Now check your PM.

Perfect! Now check your PM.

Got it! Thank you, Coopervid!

I will go through the steps shortly and report back as soon as I can. 'Appreciate you providing the resources!

[cdan1980]

Success! Nice! Tested Bram Stoker's Dracula 4K and it plays just fine in VLC with menus.

There's a lot of posts scattered across the net saying this drive would be incapable of being flashed to read 4k disks. Thankful to have stumbled upon this thread and Coopervid's generosity of assistance. Thanks again!

Hello Coopervid, I am in the same boat as cd1980 and cannot post a PM to you with my Drive Information.
