Thanks for the immediate reply. I know the trick, but I didn't want to have to make a back-up on my hard drive (which means it would require also HD space), but I wanted to be able to play the discs on the fly. Unless your UHD playing software can integrate with MakeMKV to decrypt the disks "o...

The previous UHD release of this film had a weird protection (along with The Fury , original release of Stand By Me , and maybe some other films), that when i tried to play (I play my UHDs on my pc), I got pixelation every few seconds. The "trick" with those disks is to use MakeMKV to cre...

Hello. First of all, is there a Plaion release of The Patriot UHD? I see at blu-ray.com it's Sony (even in Germany). Anyway, that doesn't matter. Secondly, I have a question: The previous UHD release of this film had a weird protection (along with The Fury , original release of Stand By Me , and may...

Hello. I have a weird problem with this UHD and VLC player. First of all, I tried another 4k disc, and it played correctly, without any problems. When, I put this disc, I hear only audio and I see no video. It's black screen. This occurs from the logo even in the start of the disc (probably Cinemato...

Has anyone bought from this shop?
I bought an LG BU40N without problems last May, but now that I go to the site my antivirus (Avast) blocks it and says that it's a fake e-shop used to scam people.
I'm a bit concerned..

This thing breezed through all the problematic discs I had (Aliens, Abyss... most Cameron discs and the brand new Sound of Music 4k disc) without even breaking a sweat. I have this drive: https://ultrahd-drives.com/products/verbatim-4k-uhd-blu-ray-burner-external-drive-bdr-ud04-43888-makemkv-libred...

I see. By the way, I started to do a full backup with makemkv and it failed after a while.
Unfortunately I closed the software, and didn't keep any log to post here.
Maybe the release itself is problematic eventually, I don't know..

Also that post you made has leawo blu-ray ripper. Sorry? That's Leawo player I have, not Leawo blu-ray ripper. By the way: Do you by any chance remember any of your 4ks that didn't play the menu in VLC? * Maybe I have some of them, and could check again in my pc (although I'm sure I have checked ev...

Thanks for the reply.
Well, I thought to try a laptop I have too.
I unplugged the BD drive from the pc and plugged it into the laptop.
Same thing.
So, I'm not sure if it's windows related, at least in my case.

I decided to take the day to wipe my PC. What do you mean by that? Did you do a format? I have 180 UHDs and I just encountered my first UHD menu that doesn't play with VLC. I get to the menu screen, but no menu or buttons or anything. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710tGEat43L._AC_UF894,1000_Q...

MakeMKV's folder backup option is the 2nd button at the top. Looks like a folder with an arrow. Click it, then check the decrypt box that pops up and choose the location for the backup.

I know. I meant it also presents read errors and I cannot rip it.

It is best not to play any UHD discs directly. You will wear out your drive's laser fast! Better off ripping the complete disc to a decrypted folder backup and playing that. There are a few BD/UHD discs with Screenpass. It is nothing new. Knives Out is one that comes to mind. Well, I wouldn't like ...

OK, it seems by searching, I'm finding things. I talked with a person that had ripped the disc, and he told me that the disc has the protection called "screen pass". Here is more about it: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=21505 The thing is now: I chose the correct ...

My old computer (from 2017) can barely play a UHD rip. If there's anything running in the background, playback will be affected. Are you trying to do playback on an old or underpowered computer? Nope! I have 160 UHDs and all play perfectly. It's the first one that presents these problems. I think t...

Pioneer's are the best. Far superior to any other brand. Thank you! By the way, something happened that I cannot believe! I downloaded a full copy of the UHD to check it. It does the same thing, pixelating at the exact same spots! So, it's not my drive? It's my pc's fault? Maybe I should try it wit...
