Asus BW-16D1H-U Pro

[Buldre]

Hi, I am new to this forum.

I have an MKV license and just purchased an Asus. I would like to extend it to become a LibreDrive to open 4K UHD disks.

I want to use it with a Mac on the latest OS, but I also have a Win 10 laptop for execution if necessary.

From below MKV info this should be possible?
Can you help?
What does it cost?
Can I do it myself?

Best regards, Buldre

Hi,

Which firmware for the ASUS BW-16D1H-U PRO please ? I also have issue with Nero Burning rom (a better software ?) which doesn’t detect my device maybe need a driver I don’t have, just the default Windows one.

Thanks.

4K Blurays can now be ripped? (not played... i know)

[Coopervid]

Ripped and played if you activate integration for VLC in Makemkv.

Ripped and played if you activate integration for VLC in Makemkv.

okay, was was just confused, because the firmware is still marked as "unpatched" and I thought it should be displayed as patched when UHD was activated.
I still have to check the integration for VLS in Makemakv (formally used DVDFab), but together with handbrake MakeMKV seems to be really great.
