I am trying to read Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny UHD on my WP50NB40 cross flashed to BP60NB10 v1.00 firmware. It doesn't open the disc at all. This is the only UHD disc I have had issues with on this drive, the non-UHD disc version was read fine. Should I just ask for a replacement disc? s...

I would also like a recommendation for USA based libredrive. I appreciate it!

if your in the USA im the guy to go to for pioneers with old fw see below
none on amazon are ready out of the box anymore in the usa

Can I get a recommendation for an external UltraHD drive in the US? If there are no good external/portable drives I will take an internal SATA drive if necessary. Unfortunately bought a Pioneer BDR-XD08U on recommendation from a friend and it's got the new firmware so it doesn't work for UltraHD di...

Please explain the following: What does the automated flasher do? What is the result from it compared to how the drive is now? What will I be missing without it? Can't it just be cross-flashed with the firmware from one of the other models? Does MakeMKV address the LibreDrive aspect of it? Thanks! ...

email me for a automated flasher for that

it should work you just might sometimes have a disc fall on the floor when you eject it or its going in because of the try slop the amount it can jiggle when its moving in and out the pioneer s13's have less of that than the lg/asus and pioneer 212 so that probably the preferable drive for that use ...

if you leave it for hours yeah it will kill it seen people do that from walking away.
but if its for 30s nah its not going to do anything

Which is better? ‎1) Verbatim‎ 43888 Slimline with Pioneer UD04 (~100 bucks) 2) Archgon MD-8107S-U3YC-UHDB-K with LG BU40N (~150 bucks) These are two slim drives I can buy in my country right now as I see them on Amazon and both should work more or less out of the box or with little effort. But whi...

Hi there I recently purchased a Pioneer BDR-XS07TUHD drive to use on my M2 Mac laptop to backup some of my 4K UHD movies. Unfortunately, I didn't realise there would be so many copy protections and I am basically unable to use the drive. After some searching, I stumbled upon this forum to discover ...

No benefit

@Billycar11 does it seem plausible that the optics need to be cleaned when it reads all BD and reads older UHD? To be clear it is not a situation where it needs to be re-flashed or updated if that even exists?

Yeah that happens all the time that new discs need to be cleaned

you can take the drive apart and clean the laser but most people dont do it but yeah eject the try use a plastic pry tool pop off the bezel clips on the 2 sides and bottom then 4 screws on the bottom and the the top will wiggle off then you can see the lasers dont use one of those cleaning discs the...

I received a PM, but can not reply yet as I am too new here.. lol

so does this drive need to be flashed to XD06 to make it work with UHD ?

that drive cant do UHD sorry

I tried to send you a PM but it won't let me. Check PM. When I follow your instructions, it is saying "Drive and Firmware hardware types don't match." Any suggestions? Email me for an auto flasher that does everything for you it does not need all that user input and your not even supposed...

I can furnish you with the full context if you email me at imtheseekr@gmail.com, I'm too new a user to send PMs.

Email me those details too as I have not asked you to do anything that your claiming
And all your assumptions are incorrect as you now know.
