Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

Hi guys, at the moment I'm using a Verbatim 4K BD RW (Pioneer BDR-UD04). I tried to backup with the latest MakeMKv version the UHD "last action hero". But I got SCSI errors :( The sdftool tells me: sdftool -d /dev/sr1 --info SDF.bin version: 0x0090 Drive Tool SDF present Drive Specific SD...

Re: just lost entire tv/movie library, questions..

Is it always faster for rips, to plug the drive into a separate powered USB? E.g. for the Archigon, it has a two-headed cable, one for data, the other for power which is optional. With your Archgon, that is not optional. You should always connect both USB-A ends, otherwise you run the risk of the d...

Re: Is there any way to automate MakeMKV?

So for example, if I insert a DVD while MakeMKV is open, it would just automatically start ripping it to a subfolder in my default folder. Bonus points if it could do it for multiple drives on my computer, I know MakeMKV is basically only designed for computers with one drive. As Woodstock mentione...

Hi All,

I have a BW-12b1st manufactured in May 2013 with version 1.00. When I try to burn anything using Nero it just spits the disc out and errors. Is there any firmware I can cross flash this with? I had this drive lying around and never used it until today.

Thanks
Nope.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023

Hi, I am a newbie in ripping, so please excuse the lack of knowledge in model naming. My PC doesn't have a 5.25" bay. I haven't looked if there are any external enclosures, but I don't ever remember seeing those in past. So USB Bluray drive is the way, huh? Found a Pioneer BDR XD 07 TS . Is it...

Re: Optical drive is not detected

I have a 2013 BH16NS40 that I connected to my Win11 PC via an Unitek Y-3324 SATA-USB adapter that was listed as compatible in the forum guide . The drive opens/closes, does some noise with inserted disks, but there isn't anything in This PC and MakeMKV also says no optical drives are detected. When...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023

I am about to flash an LG WH16NS40 that I will receive from Amazon tomorrow. I did a lot of reading on this forum to "do it right". I know to flash it to 1.02MK WH16NS60 as the recommended option. But there are 1.03MK, 1.04MK, and 1.05MK firmwares available. Why are they available and sho...

Re: CFW for ASUS SBW-06D5H-U ?

Ok thanks for the answer. And what about what @Blackened2687 wrote about flashing this drive with a "BDR-UD03 or BDR-UD04" firmware? Still won't help you with UHD. Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I'm curious: Could anybody elaborate on why this would not help with UHD? If I ...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2022

I'm pulling out what's left of my hair. I have an LG WP50NB40 NB52 that I'm spinning my tires on. I'm using the SDFtool Flasher v1.3.4 to flash the drive. I've tried flashing HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP50NB40-NB50-1.03-NM00800-212005070917.bin from the "All that you need firmware pack" to get to st...

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

Today my old BDR-XD05B decided to break off one of its spindle clips, so I'm in the market for a new drive. I see a lot of talk of the BDR-XD08UMB ad gather it is supported now, but I don't have any foreseen need for UHD support so was hoping to save a bit with the BDR-XD08. I only see firmware for...

Re: SDFtool Flasher

This looks like the right tool for me, however, I can't flash my drive. The error message is that I don't have the right platform (MT1959). When I check the platform with MakeMKV, it tells me that the platform is MT1959. Any idea what the mistake could be? Bildschirm­foto 2023-01-05 um 15.55.23.png...

Re: BD-R drive that will actually burn error free Dual Layer media

I have been meaning to get back around to asking this question. I have had a LG WH16NS40. For ripping anything up to BD50 and burning BD25, it’s fine. I have yet to burn an error free dual layer disc. A couple of years ago I went through all the troubleshooting steps possible, I am using memorex di...

I noticed some are selling Pioneer BDR-212EBK cross flashed to BDR-S12UHT to make it UHD friendly.
Is there guide availabe for to do it myself as I could not find one? I have such drive lying around and I would like to try.
There has not been a publicly released flasher for Pioneer drives as yet.
