I already had a Verbatim 43888(BU40N) and I struggled with 4K UHDs. 4/10 UHD were erroring out, some of them errored out at the last minute and generally a PITA to deal with. I decided to give Pioneer a go after reading this forum. To be frank, I assumed the capabilities of Pioneers were a bit exaggerated and hyped by sellers and owners due to various factors, but boy, I was so wrong. All the 4K UHDs failed multiple times by BU40N were read without a single error by Pioneer drive
. I wanted to push it to the limit so I tried a bluray(Paul 2011) I had, which had some of the back print peeled off, so it wouldn't even be recognised by BU40N. I was able to RIP it successfully with Pioneer, albeit with a few minor a/v sync issues(none of those were noticeable).Here is a list of 4K UHDs that failed with BU40N but ripped with Pioneer.
- Lord of War
- Cabin in the woods
- Rambo
- The Thing
Drive came with all the cables I ever needed and Haribos were a nice touch too. Thanks for Asmcom for upgrading my postage and prompt responses, you are amazing.
