Hi Coopervid,

same problem here. I'd also like to get 4k going (I actually just now realized I couldn't use them when I already bought some... )

Makemkv is installed, here are the drive infos:

Would you be so kind to also send me your PM? Would be greatly appreciated.

After reading more and more into it I first thought I'd just needed the fitting firmware (but didn't know which).... until finally noticing that it wouldn't work anyway. I have a dGPU and AMD CPU which I'm not changing - so unfortunately there is that...

WTF you are talking about? All you need is a Windows PC that is not based on ARM.

Read this somewhere. I have a Windows PC. Maybe I could just try it?

You have a typo in your forum name. Should be weirdknight... . You have a PM. And let me know where you have read that BS you posted above.

I'm very sorry... I am ABSOLUTELY new to all of this so I cannot judge what is wrong or what is right from the getgo. And to be honest, it's not the time in my life at the moment to read dozens of hours through a topic I don't know nothing about... soooo, when I read something that COULD be true it may be just that at first glance. It was CyberLink BluRay Advisor (an analytics tool) which told me that my PC like mentioned above is not able to read UHDs, no matter which BD-Player I used.

Thanks for the PM, I may test it these days and let you know of the result. The flashing seemed to have worked but unfortunately I haven't any 4k Discs here anymore to test it right away.

Hey there,

first-time-poster aswell. Started archieving my BD-Collection several month ago. Everything worked fine till I got to my UHD. After reading in this forum, I bought the following drive with an older firmware, hoping that it would work out of the box. Unfortunatly that is not the case, so I am looking for help

Thank you Coopervid! Worked without a hitch. I even installed it via a Windows 11 vm on Fedora 41, no issues! You rock!
