Hello coopervid and all the others here, with best regards!
In the faraway Germany I have the problem that my Pioneer BDR-208D can read almost all BlueRays, but unfortunately it does not read those from a provider with classical music. All possible apps for Windows have been tested and they report no disc in the drive or incorrect BlueRay parameters. Do I need to flash the drive? How and With what?
Many thanks in advance,
Calli

Greetings all from the UK,
I have Pioneer BDR-208D (manufactured in January 2013), this is the drive info from MakeMKV:
Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-208D
Revision: 1.10
Serial number: MADL042304WL
Firmware date: 2012-08-22

Can the firmware be updated to support ripping of UHDs (I assume so given the post above)?
