Hi

I have a PIONEER BDR-US03 drive branded as Verbatim.

Today I tried to use a UHD movie on it but get a "no disc " error when inserting discs.

I googled and reached this forum, Please how do I go about flashing it to read UDH discs?

Any help appreciated. My Drive MakeMKV info is below

Sorry!! for my very Late response...

Thank you so much! for the Firmware patch, small donation sent...

UHD disc are now readable in the Drive but MakeMKV still shows "Firmware type: Original (unpatched)", Also PowerDVD still doesn't play the Bluray Movie Discs,

After some googleing got a alternative "Leawo Blu-ray Player" which seems to play the movies with Menu's Has any one used this software any reviews on it....

But would love if I could get PowerDVD to play the disc, any suggestions??

PowerDVD will never be able to play UHD discs as they removed this ability a couple of years ago.
Cheers :D
