BP60NB10 does it really need flashed firmware?

Is there something on the drive side or software side on MSFT keeping the drive from UHD rips? I ask because without modding I ripped the 4k UHD version of the Abyss, just didn't use MakeMKV to do so. Used Power2Go13 backup software.

I was looking into making a drive region free so i can build a region-less dvd or blu-ray player utilizing something like a raspberry pi and a portable drive. I stumbled upon MAKemkv which I already use a one of many tools. But I'm wondering where the discrepancy is between the drive when the article was created and the drive today regarding windows 11.

Or did I just have a fluke with creating this 90+gig ISO file?

Does your backup even work? Does that software even remove AACS encryption? There's no mention of it. Since it is from Cyberlink, I seriously doubt it and you probably wasted your time.

Anyway, all good ripping software doesn't care about region coding and either removes it or ignores it when ripping, including MakeMKV.

I finally got back to this topic and tested the Abyss ISO I had created using it and it worked inside of DVD Bluray Plus Player without menus. Funny thing is Cyberlink was able to rip it but they stopped supporting the playback of the discs completely, and it will only show the menus in their program. On the other hand, VLC was able to play it once mounted on a virtual drive but because I don't have java installed it would not play menus but would play the video just fine as well.

So, it does work and it didn't need to be flashed at least for that 4k disc. I've done other blurays with it and it's been fine. Usually I use it to do that ISO when MAKEmkv throws some error at me.

This entire forum is about MakeMKV. We don’t care about other software. To use a drive for UHD ripping with MakeMKV, the drive must have UHD compatible firmware and have libredrive enabled. Some drives have this enabled as is but the majority require flashing to enable it.
