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...

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...
