You need to provide some info about why they are not working for UHD. Perhaps copy and paste the log window text when attempting a UHD rip?

Hi,
I have problems with a 43890 Verbatim USB Slim Writer (ans I'm new to subjects UHD with makemkv):
Laufwerksinformation
OS-Gerätename: /dev/sr2
Produzent: PIONEER
Produkt: BD-RW BDR-UD03
Revision: 1.14
Serienummer:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXx
Firmware-Datum: 2020-06-15
Markierungen der Bus-Verschlüsselung: 1B
Highest AACS version: 82
LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8511
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-US03
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.14
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes
It run's fine without UHD.I need to unlock, if possible.
It's not able to fully dump the firmware (and has no rawflash option):
makemkvcon f -d /dev/sr2 help
Pioneer firmware module v1.20
Commands:
dump [auto|full] dumps firmware image
dump full - dumps full rom image (if not disabled in firmware)
dump auto - dumps full image if possible, info data otherwise
speed get - prints current speed mode setting
speed set MODE - writes new default speed mode to EEPROM
What can be done in this case, can you please comment this.
Kind regards
