Hallo Coopervid,

could you please send me the Firmware for the Verbatim 43890 Drive to support UHD discs.

I would appreciated it.
Post your Makemkv info.
How much should the firmware cost? I'm trying to decide which is more worthwhile.
I don't charge for it but you are free to send some bucks as appreciation.

Does the UHD update for BDR-UD03 also address the sleep issue?

I am so sorry to bother you, really. I basically bought this drive assuming it could handle uhd and enabling uhd would be the only thing keeping me from sending it back. So thank you for doing what you are doing, and I would be grateful for a pm.

Pioneers don't have the sleep bug. Only friendly LG drives have it.
