Hi All, Great software and resource here! I have been Googling and haven't found 100% conclusive answers so I figured that I'd ask. I have used MakeMKV with normal BD with two different drives with great results. I just purchased my first 4KUHD disc pack (came with both UHD and BD discs) and wanted to see if I could rip the 4k.
Can anyone confirm if either of these drives are UHD friendly and if so what I may need to do to flash them?
Asus BW-12B1ST
Pioneer BDR-212V
Thanks in advance for the help!

That ASUS will never be UHD capable. Not sure about that Pio model.

Can confirm Billycar11 is the dude! His flasher worked perfectly to turn the BDR-212v into a BDR-S12JX that now is able to transfer UHD. Since I had trouble finding specific direction when I was searching before making my post, if anyone finds this post with the same drive just contact Billycar11 and support his work. Definitely much cheaper than buying a new drive if you can.
Thanks all!
