I have had a varied history of success with ripping 4k UHD blu ray discs.  I have TWO BD-R drives (one LG and one Asus), both with UHD friendly firmware.  It seems like every 4K UHD disc I try to insert nowadays is not recognizable, on EITHER drive.  Standard blu ray discs and DVD's are fine.  The latest disc I tried to insert was the 12 Monkeys 4K UHD with no go.  Are some (many) UHD discs just unreadable, or are my drives to blame?
