Pioneer BDR-UD03 UHD possibility

[Coopervid]

At least we have clarified one point. You were talking about your UD03 but since it's flashed already to UD04 you should have called it UD04. And that was the Makemkv info you posted above.

PM sent. Wanted to make sure it's not a combo that can't be flashed.

Hi, thank you for your PM. I tried it an unfortunately the Software shows "Selected drive is not a Pioneer drive". Although the dropdown lists it as a Pioneer.

Please post your own Makemkv info.

Use a Windows PC or VMware. You seem to be on Linux and that is the issue.
