I have the Pioneer BDR-208DBK, and would like to have it flashed too.  Just started my 4K/BD archiving journey.  My drive specs from MakeMKV are below:

Thank you so much Coopervid!
Drive is working great and making my archive! I am truly grateful!

Just for my knowledge, the Pioneer 208D drive so far max reads at 4X with the new firmware when ripping, so far on the 4K discs I've archived. Is this the max read speed for 4K discs on MakeMKV, for the 208D drive on this firmware?

4x is the max for UHD on all Pioneer drives.

Got it. Thanks!

I was wondering about this drive as I've seemed to find an issue with it MakeMKV.

Tried an encrypted & decrypted rip of a regular Blu-ray disc, no problem.
Tried an encrypted rip of a UHD disc, no problem.

When I attempt a decrypted rip of a UHD disc, they all come with the error,
"The volume key is unknown for this disc - video can't be decrypted. Backup failed."

I was trying to read the forums for a solution, but it's not entirely clear how to use the 'discatt.dat' file, and how to decrypt an encrypted copy I already made, and what I am supposed to do on MakeMKV to accomplish this. How do I overcome this issue so I be able to play or edit/convert the video files on say Handbrake?
