Confirm if UHD Friendly: Asus BW-12B1ST and Pioneer BDR-212V??

#1 Post by BackwardsEP » Wed Jun 28, 2023 2:23 am

Hi All, Great software and resource here! I have been Googling and haven't found 100% conclusive answers so I figured that I'd ask. I have used MakeMKV with normal BD with two different drives with great results. I just purchased my first 4KUHD disc pack (came with both UHD and BD discs) and wanted to see if I could rip the 4k.

Can anyone confirm if either of these drives are UHD friendly and if so what I may need to do to flash them?

That ASUS will never be UHD capable. Not sure about that Pio model.
Cheers :D

Can confirm Billycar11 is the dude! His flasher worked perfectly to turn the BDR-212v into a BDR-S12JX that now is able to transfer UHD. Since I had trouble finding specific direction when I was searching before making my post, if anyone finds this post with the same drive just contact Billycar11 and support his work. Definitely much cheaper than buying a new drive if you can.

Thanks all!
