it not the actual drive model i send you an xd08 the fw is from an xd08u makemkv now supports all UHD pioneers even on the latest fw

What do you mean MakeMKV now supports all UHD Pioneers even on latest FW? Like if I find any Pioneer UHD drive on FB Marketplace I can purchase that and have you flash it? Looks like remote flashing is $25. Or would it need to be sent to you?

How do these XD08's compare to the other models you don't have in stock? Are these XD08's somehow not as ideal or not as good in any way when ripping compared to the BDR-S13U's or BDR-X13U's? I'm new to all this sorry and I just want to buy once and not buy a lesser version then realize I should have purchased a better one like mentioned in the last sentence but I don't know if they are actually better when it comes to ripping or just more premium quality physical product? Thank you.

After MakeMKV started supporting LibreDrive on Pioneer drives, Pioneer released a firmware update that specifically disabled LibreDrive. Pioneer firmware update February 2023 Pioneer firmware dated from December 2022 onward did not support LibreDrive and it could not be flashed to an older, supported firmware. That was bad.

Very recently, MakeMKV has started supporting LibreDrive on Pioneer drives again, even ones with the December 2022 firmware. SDF update November 2025 That is good.

LibreDrive support, however, does not mean that a Pioneer drive is automatically able to rip UHDs. If the drive is a model that has UHD capability, then with LibreDrive capability, it will now be able to rip UHDs. If the drive model does not have UHD capability, even with LibreDrive it won't be able rip UHDs.

Some Pioneer drives that don't have UHD capability can be cross-flashed to a version that does have UHD capability. The tools to do so are not publicly available to my knowledge. If a Pioneer drive has the dreaded December 2022 or later firmware, it probably can not be cross flashed to add UHD capability. (Never say never of course.)

Your best bet if you're going to buy a used Pioneer drive is to get one that came from Pioneer with UHD capability.

Exactly what I said makemkv supports all UHD pioneers out of the box for UHD ripping.

But non uhd pioneers are still not cross flashable to UHD after 12/22 unless purchased from a flasher.

Remote flashing is still not possible after 12/22 fw too
