See this thread: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

Did you try a UHD in it? There's a good chance it is already supported. If not, see this post specifically: viewtopic.php?p=129189#p129189

So, what kind of file I could pick up from opti-drive that will benefit your developing tools ?

We kinda have what we need just time really it's probably months away

I do feel bad knowing these drives can work and telling people not yet I know everyone wants things now

It feels wasteful because a lot of people get new drives

First of all, you are honorable.

Without your development, we would not be able to rip UHD with cheap LG drives today.

Second, no matter how long it takes you to develop the tool, and whether you succeed or not, at least, there is hope that Pioneer's low price opti-drive can be used to rip.

I really appreciate your efforts, please don't be sad, without your work, UHD may have been completely eliminated by streaming media, the UHD that could't be ripped really meaningless to me. You made it possible to storage the film of UHD on the computer. You changed the fate of UHD completely. What could be more fulfilling than that?

A bit to much credit the first time the makemkv developer told us where to make an edit for the LG stuff so then me and Marty released the de firmware I did make the tutorial more stream lined for both dos flash and de firmware. Then Marty streamlined it more with sdf gui

Now for this pioneer stuff it's all blackened sure I test some stuff for him and funded it a bit of it but he's making all the tools
