ASUS BW-16D1H-U

Post by Semi-Noob »

Hi everyone,

I'll start by apologizing as I'm sure this has been asked a million times before.
I brought an ASUS BW-16D1H-U recently as I have a stack of old DVD's & blu-rays that I want rip so I can watch them on the Zidoo player I just brought but being a basic noob (I grew up when VHS was a thing) I didn't realize that the drive platform played a big part in the ripping of 4K UHD disks.

Is there a way of flashing this drive to make it compatible so I can rip 4K movies? Drive specs attached below
If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it.
