Where to buy

#1 Post by KingJohn » Mon Jul 29, 2024 1:17 am

Hi all, been a while since I've been here. Last lime was prblems with TV not playing my conversations.

Thanks to Mkv gormat TV playes them all.

Ok i keep my 4K and Blu-ray disks safe, heck they cost a lot, so make backup on my network drives.

So, ive never "ripped" a 4K disk, i do have a hdmi backup device that can make mp4 which is then changed to mkv for tge annoying TV.

I would like to be able to backup a 4K just so that i achived one of the items on my bucket list 😭

I see on Amazon that a USB 3 4K player, with Blu-ray writer, make is Nolyth

Yer ive never heard of them, i use a LG PC internal Sata drive, now connected via a Sata to USB interface for Blu-ray plugged into a laptop, PC long gone.

So where in the UK would i be able to buy a drive for 4K ripping. Not going to be used much, as i dont buy many 4K unless its a really good movie.

Ive heard Pioneer, but must be old version, ive only just learned a bit about flashing the drives, use to flash DVD many years ago.

So would i get one from eBay or Amazon, or somewhere where i can return if the device dont work (before i flashed) my fault if it gets bricked, so wouldn't return then.

Or if anyone has new drives already flashed and working with makemkv that be good. Im not rich, so need to watch my spending.

Thanks in advance, lot of what ive read is USA buying, so was hoping it would be a reputable company in UK

Cheers

See guide below don't buy a drive unless it's on the list or pioneer with old fw
