The BDR-212V can be crossflashed to a BDR-212UHBK, BDR-S12UHT, or BDR-212ULBK (among others) to enable BDXL writing and UHD ripping with appropriate software. Below are writing and ripping results after a BDR-212V to BDR-212UHBK crossflash. Rips were performed using AnyDVD and MakeMKV on two differently sized UHD discs.

Isn't the 212V a supposedly modified 212D? Nice to turn that into a UHD supporting writer. :D

Yes, the 212V is a Vinpower-specific model based on the 212D that uses Japanese parts, industrial tray gears and pulleys, and modified firmware for "enhanced" DVD+-R burning.

Hello friends!

My name is Ionut and i am from Bucharest, Romania. I have been following this forum for a while now because i am an optical drive freak :D, but now i have decided to also post.
I would like to ask for a copy of BDRFlash if possible.
Just like gohclsin, i have a BDR-212EBK that i would like to turn into a BDR-S12UHT or BDR S12J-X if possible.
Can you please help?


Regards,
Ionut

Well Hello :)

Hello, my name is Tom, lining in Taiwan in the last 20 years, originally from Germany.

Registered today, after reading in the makemkv forum, that my Pioneer BDR-209M (EBK as reported in DVRTool 1.02) could maybe in the future read UHD.
I have also a Pioneer DVR-S18LBK, but not in use anymore.

May I ask also for the latest version of DVRTool.

Also, I have no idea whether it would even make sense to Crossflash this device (if even possible), but for this, I need to read more.
Below a screenshot what DVRTool v1.02 got from my Pio.


Cheers
Tom

Good evening

With regards to BDRFlash, would that support crossflashing the Pioneer BDR-XS07T to BDR-XS07TUHD? If yes, I would appreciate a copy of the tool, many thanks in advance.

Nice to meet you all,

Recently I was impressed that a CDR(Yuden, TDK, MITSUI, Ricoh,,) I created 20 years ago still works fine.
But now I do not own a CD drive so have purchased a new Pioneer drive.
If you don't mind, I would like to have a tool for me as well.

I salute all seekers.

Thank you for sending me a message.
I used to use optical media very often.After recently distancing myself, the news that Panasonic is to cease Blu-ray Disc production has reignited the fever.Unfortunately, the internet community in Japan that talks about optical discs has been decimated.That's why I'm very excited to see such a heated discussion on this forum and I'm really enjoying your contributions.
I thank my lucky stars that I have found you all here.
