Has MakeMKV produced a firmware dump for your drive?
According to the
LibreDrive for Pioneer drives thread, your RS8511 platform should be supported.
Whatever you do, don't blindly update the firmware on the drive as that could make it incompatible with MakeMKV.
Pioneer firmware update February 2023

MakeMKV did produce a dump file and I sent it to support. Thanks for the info on the Feb 2023 firmware update, i wasn't aware of that and will not do it.

Recently I discovered that BD drives could become friendly with UHD discs. I, also, have an ASUS SBW-06D2X-U and I would appreciate any guidance as to how I can update it. However, I do not know if there are limitations as a Mac user(?)

I suspected this could be the case. How unfortunate. I could probably get access to my wife's PC at her work. Is it a simple procedure?
