I intend to backup my DVD + BluRay collections as mkv files using MakeMkv + Handbrake to my NAS.
I currently have following 3 blu ray drives:
1) internal Pioneer BDR-207D(BK) fw v1.60 in USB 3 external case, which MakeMkv shows as maybe not possible as libredrive. Regioncode is set 1 time at region 1, but it could rip an ABC region blu ray disc fast.
2) usb 3 external slimline Pioneer BDR-XD05 which MakeMkv says libredrive enabled. Did MakeMkv flashed it without me knowing? Dvd regions are now free inside MakeMkv!

Does this mean there is no regionlock on my drive anymore if i play dvd/blu ray with it?
3) a newly bought LG BH16NS55.AHLU10B fw v1.05. Have to wait for the USB 3 external case to arrive to test with MakeMkv if its libredrive.
Do i need to update some firmware to rip Blu Ray discs on any drive? I don't have any 4K blu rays, so is a firmware flash necessary and where can i find the corresponding firmware? I will only use it for DVD and standard blu ray, no 4K.
Thanks for any help/advice.
