I tried, but it doesn't work. I get this error message. "Drive and Firmware hardware types don't match." Thank you for your help.

It looks like the most recent posters are getting a Pioneer drive in the enclosure when purchasing an Asus BW-16D1X-U. And while the firmware and process isn't posted, it is flashable (and usable with MakeMKV) with PM being sent. Is that correct?

Correct. But if it's a Pioneer drive inside the firmware must be older than Dec. 2022 to enable UHD capability. Buy it and if the firmware is younger return it. If a LG is inside you can flash it with the tools available in the forum.

You must check the force flash box.

Can anyone help me?

I think my drive/firmware indicates it should be supported. Could someone confirm? (Attaching drive sticker)

When I plug it in and view in Make MKV, it says to email the firmware to support@makemkv.com. is this a generic message or is this a new firmware that should be sent?

Here is the drive info from MKV

Code: Select all

Drive Information OS 
device name: E: 
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: ASUS 
Product: BW-160 1X-U 
Revision: A105

Interestingly the software shows the revision as A105, but the sticker on the drive says A205. That seems strange.

Thanks!
