Hey guys any support for this burner I have just purchased it, I don't really want to flash it as the drive reads the 4k uhd disk just fine but are more interested in software that has cracked the aacs encryption so I can rip my purchased 4k movies to server and watch over my network. Anybody else have this drive what software you using?

Can you please post the status window of Makemkv to see what drive and firmware you have in that enclosure?

Sorry! Your drive is not capable to make UHD backups with Makemkv. You should have picked one of those listed here:

The FATE is NO longer DARK!

Dear @wizozzy,
thanks to
@mike admin's continues efforts, the Pioneer gang (and relatives) has joined the UHD party via LibreDrive membership.
Code: Select all
PIONEER-BD-RW___BDR-UD04-1.00-4B3560E3-8A10-20170210
PIONEER-BD-RW___BDR-UD04-1.10-431D03CF-8A10-20170425
PIONEER-BD-RW___BDR-UD04-1.14-489CDFD6-8A10-20200615
Would you try, skinning your Terminator again with the help of the
Verbatim 43888 drive?
Please not only try MakeMKV's ripping ability, but also the neat playback feature.

I'm also interested to hear if Verbatim 43888 is now LibreDrive enabled as it seems to be Pioneer drive inside.

Apparently that is the case.

2) Second, I would like to confirm that LibreDrive is working perfectly on Verbatim 43888 drive (Verbatim Slimline Ultra HD 4K; Pioneer BDR-UD04 drive inside).

Surely an affordable & welcome UHD blu-ray disc playback & ripping solution. Hopefully also an ideal companion (no dropouts or high noise levels) to any notebook with a HDMI 2.x output or the next Raspberry Pi.

I purchased this drive and can also confirm it is LibreDrive capable. I had it on 1.14 firmware (2020-06-15) matching the following entry.
Code: Select all
PIONEER-BD-RW___BDR-UD04-1.14-489CDFD6-8A10-20200615
Although it does not matter MakeMKV this drive seems to be official 4K UHD BD drive with AACS2 keys for e.g. proper SGX/PowerDVD Ultra usage. There are at least two model number variations and #43888 is this drive.

i am using verbatim 43889,
after installing makemkv on my Mac I can not rip 4k disk, not seeing it.
What do I have to do to make it possible?
Thank You very much in advance.

Verbatim 43888 is 4K UHD compatible - IIRC the 43889 is not.
