Thank you!
It's definitely worth getting that drive updated. The UD03 is a solid performer for 4K once the LibreDrive firmware is applied. Just make sure you double-check the revision matches the flasher requirements mentioned by the experts here to avoid any issues.Makar wrote: Tue Mar 17, 2026 12:10 am Good day/evening sirs, I am new and cannot send PMs, but I would like to flash my drive so that it can rip 4K BD, can anyone help me please? thanks in advance!

Yes, I tried it several times, also with rebooting. The tested DVD works in my internal drive (which is not BluRay)Coopervid wrote: Tue Mar 17, 2026 1:23 pmDid you remove all power to drive after flashing including the USB connection?fornax wrote: Tue Mar 17, 2026 6:17 amYes, I followed the tutorial.Coopervid wrote: Mon Mar 16, 2026 7:09 pm Post your Makemkv info after flashing.

Most likely a power issue since these enclosures are very power hungry. Try an USB-C port , use the rear USB-C ports of a desktop or a powered USB hub.fornax wrote: Tue Mar 24, 2026 3:32 pmYes, I tried it several times, also with rebooting.

Also, at the risk of being a choosing beggar, is Windows still a requirement to flash the drive? I can work with that if need be, but I'd prefer to use either Linux or MacOS.
