I just realized I had a Pioneer BDR-XD05S in storage. I believe based on my research here that it is UHD capable, but might require a firmware patch. This is my drive info pulled from the latest version of MakeMKV:

already emailed you
and sent flasher
anyone else feel free to email me for the flasher see below no need to post your drive info here just email it to me
Can I just email you with those pictures and information? My screenshots/images aren’t uploading to the reply.
i already told you what was wrong your drive was not getting enough power and was rebooting no reason to say my stuff does not work
They e-mailed me directly with a screenshot & the output from an attempted rip. Here's my reply:
Your drive can definitely read 4K/UHD discs or you would not have been able to get to the screen to choose titles & start the rip - the flash worked.
You need to do some reading/research on MakeMKV & how to use it - you do not want 13 titles from a movie disc of any type. You only rip the main title, which is the movie. *Maybe* there are some “out-takes” or whatever that you want, but I doubt there are 12 of those on that John Wick disc.
Your results are due to one of two things, 1st most likely:
1. Your drive disconnected during the rip (faulty/flakey USB cable) or you don’t have enough power to the drive for 4K/UHD discs (which causes the drive to power-cycle/disconnect temporarily). For slim-line drives they either require 2 x USB connections for enough power (“Y” USB cable), or an external AC adapter if the unit supports that. If you have 2 x USB connections or are using a USB adapter, try a different USB port on the computer. Some desktop PCs have crappy USB chipsets on some ports as a cost saving measure.
2. You have a defective or dirty discs. I have seen brand new discs purchase from Amazon that were either defective or fake. I have also had new discs that looked perfectly clean from a fresh unwrapped case, that needed to be cleaned. I suspect some of the plastics used in packaging “gas off”, producing a vapor & it leaves a difficult to see coating on the disc. Take a whiff of a new, freshly un-shrink wrapped DVD/Blu-Ray/4K/UHD.
When you figure out which is the cause, please post on the forums so others can learn from your experience & know that you got a good flash kit/upgrade from Billycar11.
