Hi, I have recently acquired a Verbatim 43889 (Pioneer BD-RW BDR-UD03) and have been able to rip both DVD and BR out of the box.
I would love to start ripping my 4k BRs, but currently, the drive seems unable to read them. I understand from reading through this forum that this drive can be flashed to read UHD disks? I'm not sure where to start with this, but any help would be truly appreciated!

Again. One-time-posters need to come back and show interest.
So I did, what do you exactly need from us?

Undoubtedly Coopervid will ask you to post your MakeMKV drive info, so you might as well do that now.
