Unofficial UHD playback is a thing? How so? Please enlighten me. Everything I searched online points that it's basically impossible. You yourself are already doing “unofficial” playback of UHD content as discussed in this thread: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=23427 Which yo...

Re: the VLC crash. Can't really help you there. Have you done a full disc back-up and removed encryption? Is VLC up to date? I ask as I have never had VLC crash when playing back full discs. I presume I removed encryption if it runs on VLC and other players when I run just the file. Using version 3...

I tried to flash a simple SD card reader using firmware from the manufacturer's web site (cause it wasn't working on my new Windows 10 PC). Ended up killing the device. So I'm afraid to flash hence why I bought this internal drive already flashed and UHD friendly. Rather have paid 30-40 premium tha...

Well sorry to tell you but you bought from a person who does not know what they are doing almost all the drives I shipped had no sleep unless they used rippers it was not compatible with. Dammit. The weird thing is he told me he tried to leave one of his drives idle for 2 minutes and that didn't ha...

You can use VLC. Open the Media dropdown> "Open Disc" > Select Blu-ray > "Browse" button > Navigate to the folder where you back up your discs > Open the folder of the movie you want to play back (you should now see the BDMV, CERTIFICATE & MAKEMKV folders) > Click "Sele...

How is it more damaging I have flashed 100s of wh14ns40 to WH16NS60 it is an upgrade in everyway unless you use other rippers that don't support it I tried to flash a simple SD card reader using firmware from the manufacturer's web site (cause it wasn't working on my new Windows 10 PC).

Sleep bug as stated in my guide if you leave a UHD disc idle for 2 mins that will happen the solution is in there to fix it to

ahh dammit. The solution looks like it could be more damaging than the problem

So I bought a "UHD friendly" LG WH14NS40 blu ray drive. It is internal and I use a SATA to USB converter. This is the information according to MakeMKV Drive Information OS device name: E: Current profile: BD-ROM Manufacturer: ASMedia Product: ASM105x Revision: 1.02 Firmware date: 2115-12-1...

First, universally not all current software players support Blu-ray menus. The playback application being used has to support BD menus in order to play them. You have to look into whether the app(s) you are using support it or not. This is the MakeMKV support forum and this app is obviously not a v...

So I ripped a 4K disc thanks to make MKV and my UHD friendly LG drive. Now I have all the files on my computer. Including the BDMV folder. Now in BDMV/stream I have 00001.m2ts and can play that on VLC and Leawo Blu-ray Player. Movie plays. But how do I load the whole thing including the Menus? With ...

bah. Thanks all I think I'll stick to ripping and forget about Power DVD and forget about playing officially.

What fools they put all that DRM and shoot themselves in the foot at a time when physical media is probably going to die.

no for multiple reasons

ahh dammit. Ok.

Out of curiosity what would it take to play 4K movies on a PC?

Well I feel dirty cause I spent just under $110 for an internal LG WH14NS40 blu ray drive plus SATA to USB 3.0 converter. The firmware has been patched so it's "UHD friendly" meaning I can read 4K discs and rip with Make MKV. This seemed like the best compromise without paying a ton of mon...
