UHD Ripping problems

[tylertyza]

Hi I purchased a Pioneer BDR-XS07TUHD external drive.. I planned on just reading blu-rays through that but that was unsuccessful. However I have turned to ripping I hadn't done any research into ripping but apparantly I might not be able to rip UHD on this drive, 1080p works great though. Is this true? Or could someone help me with this? Or should I just return the drive.

Thanks

True, there is no support for RIPPING UHD with Pioneer drives at this time. There is some hope for the future, but nothing at this time.

It's a nice drive for sure, just not for UHD right now. Should you end up returning it please drop me a line for a drive guaranteed to read 4K UHD and all the rest. The link is in my signature. Thank you, Alex

Hello, I'm looking into buying the Pioneer BDR-XS07TUHD external drive. I saw Pioneer was blocking with UHD discs, but I guess it is solved now isn't ? But, most important, can you rip UHD Blu-Ray with this model ?
Best regards

SamuriHL's link shows all drives that are supported regarding Libredrive. This doesn't mean that all these drives support UHD. Check the Pioneer web site to see which support UHD. Yours does. At the time jonghotti responded in 2020 Libredrive didn't work with Pioneer drives at all. The UHD capable drives contain the letter "U" in their names.

I mean, the drive that they're asking about has UHD in the name. Just saying.

I just thought it needs a more specific answer.

I am confused because it is mentioned as recommended in the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022 viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634
But I've seen quite a lot of people complaining about UHD ripping not working, like in this post : viewtopic.php?t=27296

So I am bit confused because it seems to be the perfect drive for me (UHD, external, M-Disc, in Europe) but I would like to be sure it works for ripping... :/

It will work. The second link you provided was a user complaining before Libredrive for Pioneer drives existed. Go ahead and get it.

Thanks for your tips ! I bought it and it works perfectly ! It was delivered with an unpatched firmware
