Convert m2ts to mp4 Fail / Movie Backup BU50N

Post by Thommy »

First I want to Big Thank's to all Supporter, Specialy @Mike for Great doing Job

Now my Problem:
I'm fully Backup my Firmware with SDF Tool without any Problems.
Then I've Backup the Movie "Oblivion" from 4K UHD Disk, also without any Problem (Remenber: Untouched Original Drive Firmware BU50N CCT5)

Now I tried to Convert the m2ts Files from Movie Backup to MP4, an it would Fail (Wondershare Uni, Any Video Converter) without Error Output.

Question:
Is it needed to Change Firmware first and make a Downgrade to bu50n-1.00mk or DE-bu40n-1.00 ?
Is it possible the Converter Software isn't working correctly ?

Best Regards from Germany

Use handbrake not wonder junk but really don't compress UHD movies
Buy a UHD drive from the guide and how to video maker: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 20&t=17831

If you were able to successfully make a decrypted backup, then your drive's firmware is fine. I agree with Billycar11, it is most likely your converter software. Handbrake is probably your best bet.

Additionally, transcoding 4K movies can be a lot more work than a regular blu-ray.

Yes, I'm able to make a Decrypted Movie Backup without touching Firmware.
I'm just wondering it's shown as "Original (unpatched)" and would bought on Aliexpress for € 96 incl. Shipping

Now I'm a Happy

"Original (unpatched)" just indicates that that FW version pre-dates any restrictions preventing UHD ripping (et al... didn't require patching).
