I don''t believe that is the issue. This worked fine before I updated the OS on my MacBook. And I do not believe the firmware on my Pioneer has changed since it worked

Do you have any MakeMKV log files from before you updated your MacBook's OS? I am wondering if the update process quietly updated your drive's firmware at the same time .

This is the first time we have heard of this. We are running the latest version of Mac OS, and this upgrade has not happened on any of our drives. Forced updates is something we have not seen.

I can look for the log files and check the dates. Where can I find them on my MacBook Pro??

Hi Mike_Copy_Di,

Could you post in the MAC OS on MakeMKV as there is some Apple experts in this area.

Please post exactly how you became aware that the drive auto updated the firmware automatically and hopefully someone will workout what is going on. Do you have any third party software installed for updating programs / firmware?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I have no reason to believe the firmware for the Pioneer was updated.

I do believe that the issue was caused by the MacOS update.

Earlier you implied that your drive previously supported UHD discs:

Blu-Ray and DVD copy fine.

If you were previously able to use your Pioneer drive to backup UHD discs, it must have been with a different firmware version. MakeMKV has never supported UHD titles with the firmware currently installed on your drive. It is possible that MakeMKV will never support your firmware version.

Regardless of whether the drives firmware update was installed automatically or accidentally, there is nothing you can do at this point to restore UHD support. It is not a macOS issue, or some incompatibility with Sequoia. Your drive would have the exact same issue with Linux and Windows.

The drive did and I have movies on my hard drive that I ripped using the Pioneer drive.

If you still want to rip UHDs you should move on and get a new drive. PM me for recommendations. And BTW - this has nothing to do with AACS 2.1 support and should be posted as a separate topic.

A new AACS 2.1 disc would be an interesting development. Could you please attach the dump file here or at least post the dump file name?

Here is the dump file.

Sorry, what do you mean by disk info?
