Hi, I have read an article that my Drive is UHD friendly, I've got a few movies in 4K but when I try it it doesn't detect it, I am currently using windows 8.1 as OS so, can you guide me with this issue I think even detecting it will be enough rather than the playback and I have enclosed the features of the PC below.
Details:
LG Bluray drive WH16NS40
RAM:8GB DDR3
PROCESSOR: I-5 3330@3.00GHZ
OS: Windows 8.1

Open MakeMKV and select that drive. It should spit out all the drive info in a window. Paste that here.

Basically, the drive is a year too old to have UHD capability, but it can (and does) use LibreDrive to enhance what it CAN do.
