@Coopervid,
I bought a BDR-212V FW 1.00. Can you please PM instructions for reflashing for UHD/LibreDrive?

Thanks and regards.

If You are @jadburner on Polish forum thanks for help. Could be BDR-212V FW1.00 crossflashed to BDR-S12UHT too?

I'm not. And you also got help from Billy. Are you trying all of us? Don't like that. Try your previous sources.

I'm not paranoid but thats weird and I really don't know what he wants to achieve having already two firmware sources. Fishy at least.

Ask your former sources. BTW- write quality never improved from 211 to 212 and 213. Much jaddajadda by Pioneer. And don't burn anymore. This is so much before yesterday. Expensive, bad disk quality and degrading. We store now on hard disks and use players.

And yes we checked that wit LG WH16NS58 1.V5 and VPTools. All newer multilayer discs after Verbatim moved the equipment to Taiwan have issues at the layer break. 50 Gb Ritek are still Ok. Were. These tests are 2 years old. Advice: Stop burning discs!
