Thanks a lot! Flashing the new firmware was a breeze! I verified and UHD-discs are now indeed recognized and rippable.
My MakeMKV driveinfo now reads the following, so it now thinks it is a BD-RW BDR-UD04 and a moment ago it was a BD-RW BDR-UD03 :-)
I assume that the burn capabilities did not change, have not verified that.

Hey guys, good morning. I have bought recently Verbatim 43890 (BD-RW BDR-UD03 / FW: BDR-US03 1.14). I have encountered the same problem when I tried to read UHD discs and was looking for information about it when I found you 🙂

A little help Is it possible to make it work with UHDs?

Thank you in advance 🙏
