Hi, so my current UHD drive is a Pioneer XD08 UMB-S. I thought this drive would work, as I've seen people talk about using this drive on the forums before. I tried using it out of the box (it was new, unopened, but purchased through a vendor on ebay) with adding no updates. The problem is, what I thought was an older, pre-2022 drive, turned out to be a December 2022 one.
When I try to read the disc, I get
ILLEGAL REQUEST:CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM - INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT' occurred while issuing SCSI command
repeatedly.
Here's the specs
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-XD08U
Revision: 1.02
Serial number:
Firmware date: 2022-12-27
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 68
LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS9331
Firmware version: ID05
I am currently using Max OS Sonoma.
Is this problem fixable? Or am I stuck with a drive that won't work for ripping UHD for now? Ripping regular blu-ray discs works just fine. Same with playing DVDs and CDs on playback.
EDIT: I've been viewing forums and it looks like supporting later firmware is in the works, but everyone is kinda in the dark about how long it's going to be before there's a possible update? What would that look like under the scenario when it does become supported through LibreDrive? Is that as simple as--updating MakeMKV, or will it require more than that on my end? (is that still an open question too?)
Thank you for your patience, I am fairly new to this and am not much of a tech person.

Re: Pioneer XD08 UMB-S Not Working
I have the same drive and have the same problems. I have found another;
When I pull the result from MakeMVK and HandBrake into Vegas 21.0 I found that all the Channels of a 7.1 disk were exacting the same. This means that channel 1 is being copied to all the other channels instead of being independently copied. This needs to be looked into.

The Pioneer firmware needs to pre-date December 2022 for the drive to be LibreDrive-compatible. In effect, that means firmware revision 1.01 whereas your drive has revision 1.02.CoffeeDrinker wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2023 8:39 pmManufacturer: PIONEER

On the bright side, you only need LibreDrive if you plan to rip UHD disks. There are sufficient keys and certificates available online to handle non-UHD disks up to and including MKBv81 without LibreDrive.

Yeah I use it for regular blu-rays all the time. Is there any chance that Mike will release a version of MakeMKV that addresses this firmware update? (I got this out of the box and did not update)

Re: Pioneer XD08 UMB-S Not Working
It's not that simple. Pioneer have done something to stop us from using them. This issue has been worked on for the past year and a half with no luck as of yet. It may or may not ever happen.CoffeeDrinker wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2024 7:07 pmYeah I use it for regular blu-rays all the time.
