HI,

Just wanted to drop by and shout out Billy. I also have a Asus BW-16D1X-U and I was up and running with UHD discs within a couple of hours of reaching out to him.

Thanks again Billy!

I just purchased this drive and show the following:

=====
Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Current profile: DVD-ROM
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1X-U
Revision: E113
Serial number:
Firmware date: 2020-07-21
Bus encryption flags: 1B

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS8F00
Firmware version: ID76

Disc Information
Label: JOURNEY_EDGE_OF_UNIVERSE
Timestamp: 2009-01-19 22:15:56
Protection: CSS/CPPM
Data capacity: 4.19 Gb
Disc type: DVD-ROM
Disc size: 120mm
Maximum read rate: 10.08 Mbps [1x]
Number of layers: 1 (PTP)
=====

I assume that there is a Pioneer RS8F00 drive in the enclosure and the firmware would need to be flashed with the SDFtool Flasher (currently version 1.3.6). Once flashed with the correct firmware, then "Drive Platform: MT1959" will be displayed and I can backup my blu-ray discs using MakeMKV. Is this correct?

No, you are totally wrong. You are mixing up two completely dfferent drive platforms. SDFtool flasher only works with MT1959 drives, think LG and some ASUS. Yours is a Pioneer and will always remain a Pioneer. Try contacting Billycar11 as he should be able to help you with this drive.
