Guessing that being built over 4 years before UHD was invented affects the compatibility...

Hello,
Does anybody know if the ASUS BW-12D1S-U, can rip normal 1080p blurays?
Because I have found one sold for 50euro.

It should work but I wouldn't buy it. LG type drives are shortlived anyway.

Thank you for your answer, so you think it is better to save more and buy something with pioneer for about 120euro?
I'm only saying it cause my budget is pretty tight right now and to me it sounded like a good deal. However I'm a complete novice when it comes to ripping.
