Just to be verify before I flash this drive.
MakeMKV returned the following:

No disc inserted
But when I went to flash it with BDRFlash (BDR-212U firmware), it says that the drive is a BDR-209MBK.
Is the BDR-212U firmware compatible with my drive, or should I be using a BDR-209MBK v3 firmware (which I don't have).
Sorry for the questions. I just wanted to be sure.

Re: Asus BW-16D1X-U
You are cross-flashing it to 212U firmware to enable UHD readability.nico8516 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 17, 2025 4:34 amJust to be verify before I flash this drive.
