Hi!
I am new to this forum and stumbled upon this thread searching for the info if my Asus BD drive is UHD compatible. Learning from this thread it is not out of the box, I also learned, that it is possible to flash the drive. After searching the internet for firmware files and a guide/program to do it - not finding much use- or somethiong i trust, I came back here to ask for help. So can someone please point me in the right direction or give me a hint where to find the needed files, program or guide.
Below is the infromation from makemkv.
