Dear @Coopervid
Is is possible to make it to write on 100gb disc and to be readable in bluraplayer:
Aktualny profil: BD-ROM
Producent: PIONEER
Produkt: BD-RW BDR-UD03
Wersja: 1.14
Numer seryjny: TJDL356149WL
Data firmware: 2020-06-15
Flagi szyfrowania bus: 1B
Najwyższa wersja AACS: 63

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8511
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-US03
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.14
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes
PM sent. Will read UHD and write BDXL.
Thank you very much. Will try tomorrow. I have read that even if I copy movie to Bluray XL bluray players (I use xbox series x) do not read them. Is is right? In that case the best case scenario for me is using this firmware to copy UHD and convert it to fit 50GB discs.

Much better off ripping and storing the movie on a hard drive. Can you connect USB hard drives to your xbox?
Cheers :D

Marty is absolutely right. There is just 1 player that can play 100GB discs. A few 66GB but most only 50GB. And burning is expensive and most burns have trouble at the layer break. If you still want to burn regardless then read this:

I have a buddy who is the same way. Sigh! Be sure to burn the 50GB discs that way as described. Disc quality is already very bad in this steep declining market.

Hi,
I can obtain a new (old) 43890 drive which has a pioneer in it.
Should I buy it an is could you please help mit to unlock it for uhd?

If yes, I will buy it immediately.

There is a shop in my town and no one expects to see it there ;).

Thx and greetings
Micky.

I forgot…. my new 43888 sucks because the LG drive doesn’t read all my dics.
My old 43888 with pioneer died.
