Hi guys! I'd like to be able to rip my 4k DVD's to my laptop, but I've read all this and the SDFtool Flasher forum post and still can't make heads or tails of it :'(

I have a Verbatim Ultra HD 4K External Slimline Blu-ray Writer and this is the information given on MakeMKV

Drive Information
OS device name: E:
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BU40N
Revision: 1.05
Serial number: MO3P7IB0419
Firmware date: 2124-04-23 13:47
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 77

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959

Is it possible for this to be flashed? I literally just bought it (arrived today) and I had no idea I'd have to do any of this. I can return it and get something else if I have to. Hopefully someone gets back to me before the return period runs out!

Thanks in advance <3

Yep, simple.

Flash it to BU40N 1.03-MK. it is now UHD compatible with MakeMKV and Xreveal. If you use other UHD ripping software such as DVDFab then you can now flash it to BU40N 1.00.
