Grabbed one last week sold by Amazon.com. I successfully flashed it to the 1.02MK firmware using this USB adadpter:

and was able to rip a UHD title with MakeMKV.

Keep in mind that if you have a 12th gen Intel, you won't be able to use this to play standard or 4K Blu-ray movies on your PC because Intel removed some required HDCP security thing from their newest chips (citing that the HDCP handshake protocol is a security vulnerability).

Isn't it the same with DVD? There's a standard for putting data on a disc, and there's one for media file structure and encoding format in order to play on all consumer AV devices that claim to be "DVD" players. Same with "blu-ray".
Still didn't answer my question. Wanna bet?

In reading the specs i'm not sure it will read 4k. Have you researched this?

Do the firmware flashing, get the software, and 4k play/rip away!

Quote from SlickCrowd6832 :
There seems to be a lot of confusion as to WHY??

Why would you want a blu-ray burner?
1. You want to back up your current collection.
2. You live in a area or are going to an area that has spotty internet or no internet (country houses, second homes, RV's) and you want to be able to burn movies onto a blu-ray.
3. Use as a backup device (but thumb drives are so cheap)
4. Use to make music Cd's for your car
I am sure there are more reasons why.

So how does it work.
1. If you own blu-ray that you want to backup to your hard drive you need to eliminate the protection against this. This reminds me of when I purchased one of the last unprotected CD burners many many years ago...
2. You will need to need to be flashed to unlock UHD Reading/Ripping with THIRD party firmware. This is like flashing your wireless router with third party firmware, eg. dd-wrt.
3. You will need ripping software.

Now you are in business.

Personally, this is a lot of work... it may just be easier to use a VPN and download the movie in 4k quality.
A lot of work?

Bizarre. I have never heard of anyone to backup any bluray in their collection. Ripping and backing up data are the most common reasons for having one.
Some limited edition BluRay discs go up in value like GOLD even in opened condition.

Eg. Critereon Bluray Chungking Express (not the current one in the World of Wong Kar Wai collection.).

E.g. Disney movie.
Oh, Hell No! The babies WON'T come near streaming or the Internet at their age. Discs and offline only or ota hdtv. Any parent knows discs get trashed by kids fast.

I'd NEVER play the original disc, only copy it, then cold storage for the original.

97 upvotes? Had no idea people still used drives on their computers. My last desktop (4 years old), I bought one of these just in case I needed a boot cd for startup and reformatting. But I haven't used it more than 5x in 4 years.
People rip blurays to their HTPC. How do you think the movies end up there, magically?

I backup my data to bluray. May have to pick up a spare drive before the format disappears.

I rip from UHD to hard drive for convenience. With a 16TB hard drive and/or Plex box, you can have 500+ movies ripped to your drive and quickly stream any of them without dealing with menus or finding the disc, and in better quality than Netflix, all without a monthly fee.
Whats typical size? Do/can you compress in handbrake?

Don't understand....

What PC does not support 4K?

But there can be limitations such as you don't have a 4K monitor.

What PC do you have... specs?

There are many ways to rip...

UHD means 3840x2160 (exactly four times HD), and 4K is often used interchangeably to refer to that same resolution. For the digital cinema market, however, 4K means 4096x2160, or 256 pixels wider than UHD.

You can also rip in 4K if you wanted... but the movies will take up even more space. Some movies can be like 20GB.

IIRC, it's up to 9th gen for UHD discs.
