Hi,
I've had this drive for some time and just decided to try MKV. Is it possible to read/rip with this drive or do I need to purchase another?

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.
