I have a modern Pioneer drive I purchased from a seller here connected to my Mac via USB. It is an internal drive, a Pioneer BDR-S13UBK, that is in a Vantec enclosure.

I've never used the drive to burn a disc, although I'm sure it could.

Pioneer drives are the most highly regarded these days. Unfortunately a recent Pioneer firmware update disables MakeMKV's ability to rip UHDs on those drives. The sellers on this forum have access to Pioneer drives with older, working firmware and are your best bet to get a Pioneer. Personally, I ha...

I purchased MakeMKV a while ago, two payment processors ago, so I don't have any first hand experience with the current setup. However, over in this thread people have posted saying they payed with PayPal and got the key within minutes in an email from PayPal. In this other thread , folks said they ...

I've never had a LG drive need that kind of reset. When one of my LG based drives flakes out, a full power off then power on is enough to cold boot and reset the drive so it works again.

It is always good to have one more thing to try when troubleshooting, however. Thanks for the tip.

I think that's telling you that the video stream is 93% of the total file size.

What is the name of the dump files you submitted? Posting that info helps other people know if they should submit their dumps as well.

The blocking that might be preventing you from downloading UHD hashed keys might have nothing to do with your local computer or router (though it might). The server is in Russia so sometimes folks with fancy routers have geoIP blocking turned on. Lots of times, a user's ISP is 'being helpful' and bl...

Ok, I read the solution in another thread. For those encountering the same thing, click on the big DVD Player icon to make the .mkv file. Hello, I'm also a noob here. Which thread are you referring to? Sometimes people don't realize that after one puts a disc into their optical drive and MakeMKV re...

Do you have 'ask for single drive mode' checked in MakeMKV's preferences?

I don't know how that will interact with VLC, but it isolates an instance of MakeMKV to a single drive and allows two (or more) instances of MakeMKV to rip from different drives at the same time.

I'm not sure what your specific errors are. There are two common categories of failures people experience with DVDs. The first category of failure is common to any disc and it is a failure of the optical drive to correctly read the disc. It manifests is various ways but the net result is the same. G...

Dump submitted, Amazon release of One From The Heart.

What is the name of your dump file? Posting the filename helps others know if their dump is different and should be submitted.

I'm having a similar issue using a Pioneer BDR-S13U-X 5.25 SATA via my Mac. @smokeywhitetown did you ever find a solution? Anyone else have any idea what the issue might be? Copy & paste the MakeMKV log of a failed rip into a post here. Can't really tell what might be happening without some log...

Good afternoon! I'm new to this forum. I'd like to buy a Bluray burner that supports 4k, possibly region free. I'm not planning to burn disks by now, but I'd want something future proof. Can you please give me a suggestion? Thank you very much Pioneer drives are considered the best for burning and ...
