LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

[josmbrake]

Greetings. I'm VERY new to this. I'm looking to buy a blu ray drive to rip discs, including 4k UHD discs.

1. What are the best drives to purchase (makes and models)?
2. Which have the least difficulty accepting libredive firmware (makes and models)?
3. Price is an issue, but right no I'm just interested in knowing what works best and easiest.

I appreciate any help! Don't want to waste my time and money.

I have an M2 Mac running sequoia 15.5. I can also run a windows VM, if that makes a difference.

Thanks!!!

Check for a 212V Vinpower Pioneer on Newegg or Amazon. Supplies are drying out.

Dang, I was hoping it would be a possibility since I saw this post below. Is there any hope for future development so I can hold onto it, or just move on? Thank you for your help.

Hi.

First time ripping BDs today with the new drive I received for my birthday and curious if it's 4K capable. I would appreciate if someone can let me know if it's flashable and I can consider buying some 4K discs in the future.

Thanks

Sorry! There have been a few cases when I oversaw 8591 instead of 8511 since both are listed as UD03 or US03.
