afaik the WH14 is just as riplocked as the BH14. You just don't notice it due to the increased read speed by default in comparison to eg the bh10. It also uses a different chipset which is the reason riplock can't be removed.
I flashed that firmware a while ago.

Because you didn't read the post above the one of me you quoted. My response was to bluesky5553. The issue at hand was riplock and the devices. The bh / wh14 or 16 use a different chipset than eg my bh10 which originally also had riplock but CAN have it removed. Due to the different chipset mcse does not (yet) remove riplock on those newer drives. However the ripspeed of those new drives WITH riplock, is pretty much the same as the bh10 or 12 without riplock. Riplock decreases rip read speed, but those newer drives already read faster so the rip speed is comparable.
Flashing the new firmware will only improve that playback and nothing else, since it is for a newer drive riplock will still be active till the mcse dev finds a way to support them.

anydvd only processes the data as fast as the drive can provide it. How fast it can provide it depens on the file structure. Is it a seamless transition disc or 1 big movie file. the 2nd will rip faster than the 1st (i think). You're also misinterpreting things a bit. Every drive speed advertised on every model of every manufacturer is just that. ADVERTISED (and theoretical), that doesnt meant he drive will actually obtain that speed. It also depends on other computer components.
Thats kind of like shuving a nvidia GTX titan into a 6 year old system, the titan is capable of massive speeds but the motherboard it'll be plugged in to will be to old to support the kind of speeds that graphics card can do, as such it will slow down to a rate sustainable by the motherboard. Same is true for optical drives

Is anyone here with a Pioneer drive still encountering such problems (if only with some BDs)?
Please also let me know, if you don't
Thank you so much for your reply.
What exactly do you mean by "Sometimes I run into discs that are slower." ?
Do you mean limited to 2x speed as shown in the attached image in the quotation or just a little slower than the normal speed?
Judging by that picture there was apparently a problem with anydvd keeping the speed straight below 2x for some reason. And I was just wondering if that bug has been fixed.
