Hi everyone,

I'm completely new here and have only ripped standard Blu-rays so far. I'm switching to 4K discs, so I'm new to this field. I'm from Germany, by the way, so please excuse my English. I bought the BW-16D1H-U external drive and have spent many days researching it, but I've found conflicting information about it.

Is it capable of ripping 4K discs?
