Pioneer BD-RW BDR-212M, 4K UHD?
Posted: Wed Nov 05, 2025 10:05 pm
Hello to all dear MKVmakers,
guanciale! here!
My Pioneer can handle Blu-ray Discs (1080p) just fine: LibreDrive works OOTB.
I'm wondering if would be possibile to enable 4K UHD playback and ripping capabilites...


Thanks, have a nice... Life!!
