hi, i have both these Pioneer drives.
wondering if i could crossflash it both to a different model so as to gain the uhd capability.
at the moment its both on official pioneer firmware 1.33
i downloaded dvrtool and dvrflash, but i really have no idea about using the "Cmd" tool.
what are the options to upgrade both these drives? can someone please help me? thanks in advance.

What does MakeMKV say about it's capabilities? A key is what firmware date it currently has. FW on or after 12/22/2022 is a no-go, as the drive is locked by Pioneer.

You need to post your Makemkv info for both drives. Especially I need to see Drive platform for both drives.

sadly, i am still waiting for the site admin or Moderaters to approve my posts...
