Post by Beyond63 » Thu Aug 01, 2024 7:58 pm

Hello,
I got a brend new PC and a new external optical device: BD-RW BDR-X13U
I tried to use it to make a backup of a bluray movie with makemkv but it looks like it's not supported...
Can you help me to buy a new one which will work with makemkv and will support 4K/UHD br movie
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards.

Post the makemkv drive info section.

It the fw is after 12/22 it won't do UHD anytime soon.

But I have those with old fw if you want one see below

You will just need a usb case like the vantec dx2
