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...

Do you have another drive you can try the disc with? As silly as it sounds, sometimes a drive just doesn't like a certain disc. Yes, it happens! This is why the majority of us have multiple drives. Personally, I have 5 drives, although I generally only use 2 of them. I'm afraid not. The disc presen...

Clean the disc before trying again. It doesn't matter if it is brand new and/or looks pristine, give it a clean!

Of course, I have done this. Numerous times!
By the way, I'm just using VSO inspector and after a while it finds errors reading the various sectors.

Good morning. I have a problem playing/ripping this disc. I have mentioned in another thread this: I have bought a UHD ( Dirty Dancing ) 3-4 times, all from different territories (USA, UK, Australia). I guess it's the same disc, that my player doesn't feel friendly towards it. It freezes and pixelat...

I guess noone knows still how to play a UHD in Leawo player with correct colors, right? Let me explain: I have bought a UHD ( Dirty Dancing ) 3-4 times, all from different territories (USA, UK, Australia). I guess it's the same disc, that my player doesn't feel friendly towards it. It freezes and pi...

Hello again. I was wondering if this protection has been "cracked".
I bought the newer Stand By Me UHD which hasn't got this protection, so I'm all set, but I would like to buy The Patriot too.
So, will I be able to play it on the fly like all my UHDS without problems, or not?

Is there the "Initio Default Controller" in the device manager? If so uninstall it and check the drive recognition again.

No. I don't see anything like that. Here's what I see:
