Success! Again, thank you very much for this. For me and anyone else who purchased this drive under the presumption that it would support UHD BR discs out of the box.Coopervid wrote: ↑Sat Mar 15, 2025 7:30 pmPM sent.MattRyx wrote: ↑Sat Mar 15, 2025 3:47 pm@Coopervid,

Re: Verbatim 43890 External Slimline Mobile USB 3.2 Blu-ray Writer UHD Problem
I have the Verbatim 43889 which I had hoped would read UHD disks out the box, but MakeMkv shows no disk.
I thought I'd done my research on the best drives to get for UHD compatibilty with mkv conversion, but clearly not enough! smh
Looks like its a Pioneer drive:

Google isn't helping massively, so hoping some clever people on here might be able to point me in the right direction of finding the relevent info to fix this.

Re: Verbatim 43890 External Slimline Mobile USB 3.2 Blu-ray Writer UHD Problem
I’ve posted similar on a separate thread, but it’s probably appropriate to post here as well. I have just read that it’s actually the Verbatim 43888 which is 4K compatible and the 43889 is not, so I think I might have to return it.Stellavision wrote: ↑Thu Mar 27, 2025 9:03 pmI have the Verbatim 43889 which I had hoped would read UHD disks out the box, but MakeMkv shows no disk.
