Insufficient information.

Did you try searching for "pioneer 43889", and looking at the dozens of messages about that drive already on the board?

I think you mean it's a Verbatim 43889 that contains a Pioneer BDR-UD03 inside. Yes, it needs to be cross-flashed to BDR-UD04 firmware for UHD comaptibility. Contact Billycar11 and provide the MakeMKV drive info & libredrive info sections.
