Ronnie01964 Hello, i have a Blu-Ray writer which can read 4K but here comes the problem: The latest DVDFab Passkey gives an error whilereading the discSo whats next?
Rich86 Many BD drives with 4K capabilities have firmware that disables reading/ripping 4k discs. What is the make & model number of your drive?
Rich86 From a bit of internet searching, it looks like the actual drive inside your external Verbatim enclosure is most likely a Pioneer drive.It would be good to confirm exactly what drive you have.Are you using a computer with a Windows op system?I expect you will most likely have to replace the firmware in your drive to enable 4k copying/ripping capabilities.DVDFab has a program to do this, but it cannot handle all makes/models of drives.https://www.dvdfab.cn/uhd-drive-tool.htm?trackid=productspage
Ronnie01964 I'm using Windows11 pro with the last update ofcourse, 64 gb ram, DVDfab 9.4.5.4 The drive is a 4K drive, more info see sticker on the backside:
Rich86 https://www.verbatim.ae/ae/prod/ultra-hd-4k-external-slimline-blu-ray-writer-43888/I have a message into Fab staff members getting more info that might help. I will jump back in here and share any helpful info when I hear back.
Ronnie01964 Hmmm after installing the UHD tool you mentioned my Verbatim shows up as a Pioneer drive and is not supported? What the fuck have i bought?
Ronnie01964 Hah, well i bought the computer almost 4 months ago with windows 11 on it, so why is it showing Windows10 pro?
Rich86 The link to the Fab drive tool indicates what drives are supported by this program - and your Pioneer drive is not on the list, so no surprise there.I suggest you ignore the op system indication in the drive tool window - it may simply be that Fab hasn't changed that dialog box.Read the info in the below link to learn more about 4k drives and limitations built into firmware to prevent folks from using the full capabilities of the drives purchased.https://www.dvdfab.cn/uhd-drive-tool...d=productspageI will post info as soon as I hear back from a Fab support person.
Ronnie01964 Thanx again man, luckily i have a standalone 4K drive near my TV, none of all these problemes and it's even regionfree.
