Hi. I have a question regarding this drive: Pioneer BDR-UD03...

Is it possible to rip uhd blu rays with this drive?
Does it support libredrive?

Awaiting your response,

@mostlife,

Currently no Pioneer drives are UHD ripping comaptible. There are a few folk on here that do have some UHD friendly drives available for purchase, if you are interested, depending on your location.

For USA, please contact @Billycar11 or @jonghotti.
For Europe, please contact @asmcom.
For Australia, New Zealand, you can contact me.

Thanks

I would like to contact asmcom for purchase of UHD friendly drive,
but private message has been disabled.

How am I suppose to order?

The Pioneer flagship BDR-2209 is the worlds fastest 16x internal Blu-ray drive that also supports 128GB BDXL media

And it is not UHD Friendly!!

Hi,
This is an old post, but it seems that Pioneer drives benefit of a better compatibility/support today.
Me too I have a BDR-UD03.



I've already freed two LG drive, however concerning this Pioneer BDR-UD03, I don't quite understand how to do?
I went to this page as well:
viewtopic.php?t=27378

Does someone can explain me how to make the UD03 a libredrive?

Good day.

I think one of the sellers here, Billycar11, might have a flasher available for that drive. You should email him. Find his contact info here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=17831

I may be wrong, but I didn’t see any mention of a « flasher » in that page. He explains his flashing offer for those who don’t want to do it by themselves, and he shows some drives already flashed for sells.

Anyway, that’s not my topic.
I’ve already flashed two LGs, and I would like to try with this Pioneer UD03 by myself.

Regards.

Yeah I can flash that pioneer email me

You surely are a talented “flasher”.
However, as I’ve already done 2 drives by myself, I would to do this one too, by myself.

I already have 2 freed drives.
So, freeing the UD03 is not an absolute necessity, nor an emergency either.
This is just to have a portable libredrive, if possible.

Eventually, can someone provide the link to the firmware for the UD03 here?

G’day

There is no public flasher available for pioneer at this time.

Thank you.
So, in fact, pioneer drives are still not a good option for libredrive purposes…!?!!?

Is that the conclusion we can take?

they are the best option if you get one with old fw or are willing to get it professionally flashed

I vamped this one from an old notebook. So, I can tell it is old.
Makemkv tells me the firmware is from dec. 2015.

So, I was maybe mistakenly pre-assuming that this drive was from 2015…

However, right now while opening it, it seems that the manufacturing is dec. 2013.


Maybe a little old in order to make it a proper libredrive. I don’t want to throw money in it, if after we just notice that this drive wasn’t able to read 4 layers and or UHD disks…

So, I’d like to flash it myself if possible.
Would it make sense???

Pioneers from 2013 can do UHD after being flashed
