Do I need to flash my BDR-XD05

[buyitownit]

Hi! I'm new to this as I recently decided to cancel crappy Netflix and build a real media collection. I've got around 100 DVD/Blu-ray discs and would like to use MakeMKV to put them on my Plex server.

I've found an old Pioneer BDR-XD05 and am hoping I can use it to rip my collection. Here the stats from MakeMKV:

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-XD05
Revision: 1.21
Serial number: ...

I've read a lot about flashing firmware, do I need to flash this drive? Can someone hold my hand and help?

Thanks!

It will work for DVD and BD anyway. If you intend to rip UHDs just reply to this and we can make it happen.

Yes, having UHD capability would be ace!
