Hey Pretty much just as the title says. I'm trying to find an external UHD BluRay drive for my M1 MacBook to rip backups of my UHD BluRay discs. Any suggestions? I've seen mixed reviews about what supports UHD and even more notes saying Mac is not supported by many. I thought this would have been an easier bit of kit to find. Thanks

Hey guys, can anyone tell me if it's possible to copy UHD / 4K BluRays with the above mentioned player/burner? I never copied a BluRay before and don't know if there is a difference if it's just 1080p or UHD. Thank you

So I got a Blu-ray drive for my PC because I wanted to be able to play Blu-rays. Come to figure out that Win10 doesn't include BR support in their media player because they have to pay a fee for it. I have tried VLC (which I went through a couple guides and messed with files but couldn't get it to work) and quite a few others, but only got one to work, and the menus were slow, and the audio was crap. Is there a program you suggest? I'd be willing to pay $5-10ish USD if I knew it would work.I'd also be willing to do a bit of work if needed.

Hi everyone. I was browsing FaceBook Marketplace and I ended up buying this old Sony Vaio laptop for a bargain, the surprise of it having a blu-ray optical disc drive and a gorgeous 16.4" 1600x900 display (looks like an IPS panel to me, not sure though), proved too much for a film buff\bluray enthusiast like me to resist. The previous owner removed the HDD and installed a Kingston A400 SATA SSD that made it pretty snappy (within reason) and fast to boot. I'm not sure if the second ram stick was an upgrade, but I suspect that it originally came with only 4gigs. Once home I immediately ran msinfo32 and CPU-Z to check out the detailed specs of the machine (detailed .txt below): I did some research but I wasn't able to find any drivers or documentation for it on Sony's website or anywhere else. I then researched the motherboard's PM45 Chipset in order to try to come up with an upgrade path to make it a little snappier and more usable in Windows 10. My idea is to replace the 2gb ram stick with 4 and the P7350 with a C2D P8700 for about 20% more CPU performance, however, I have no way of knowing if it's going to work other than meeting the 25w tdp and going by what the chipset CPU support list indicates. If possible, I would also like to replace the wifi card with something that could support Wi-Fi 6 and BT 5. One thing I fear is the possibility of this machine having any kind of parts whitelist on the bios to restrict upgrades, like some ThinkPads do. It seems like something Sony would do. I would also like to find the recovery discs that come with the original OEM software\drivers and the InterVideo WinDVD BD solution to play BD movies. (I have installed my copy of PowerDVD but I'd like to use the original software that came with it). I tried finding it on the archive but had no luck. Same thing trying to find any teardown\upgrade guides on iFixit or similar websites, nothing at all. Can anyone help me out with this thing? Thanks! DESKTOP-8P834NV.txt

Good day, I am new in this community and I am looking for some assistance with my new build. I just upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 as well due to this build. Everything has been going smooth but the last detail in the software side is not working as intended. I have a Pioneer BDR-209D Blu-ray drive and I have been using it the last year in my previous Win 7 build without any complications. Now when I am watching 1080p Blu-ray movies PowerDVD 22 Ultra is freezing randomdly and after a few seconds or minutes the video will begin again but the audio would be ahead. The video will try to catch up to the audio by the video playing at a higher speed or stutterring ahead skipping frames to catch up to the audio. This only happens with Blu-rays since I have been able to watch entire DVDs without any problems. Also tried the different movies in the living room Blu-ray player without any issues. Things I already tried: 1. Uninstalled the Blu-ray drive from Windows Device Manager and restarted so Windows installs the device again 2. Updated Blu-ray Drive Pioneer BDR-209D to firmware version 1.51 3. Tried with different Blu-ray movies, all of them would do the same. DVDs will work just fine. Blurays will play without any issues in another Blur-ray player 4. Tried also in PowerDVD 20 ultra and same behavior 5- Using latest Nvidia Studio Drivers version 516.59 5. Right now I am going to uninstall my Nvidia Studio Drivers and install the latest Game-Ready Drivers version 516.19 Any other ideas? Specs: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Asus TUF Gaming X570 Pro Wi-Fi 32GB DDR4 G.Skill RGB @ 3600 Mhz EVGA 3060 XC Samsung 980 Pro M.2 SSD (OS Drive) Crucial MX500 X 2 SATA SSDs WD Blue HDD Pioneer BDR-209D Blu-ray Internal Drive

Does a UHD Blu-Ray use lossless HEVC to compress Master movie files? Or is it lossy? If so, does that mean encodes essentially take a lossy file as input to create another lossy file? Wouldn't that result in perceptible quality loss?

I've had this external LG blu ray drive for about a year now, but recently I've come to find when I restart the system, it does nothing but hang on a black screen, and none of my peripherals seem to turn on. The Q-Code on my Crosshair VIII Hero WiFi just reads "3E" with a yellow light, which apparently means "Post-Memory PCH initialization is started". The only way my PC restarts normally is if I unplug the drive from the back of the motherboard before restarting. I tried updating the drivers for that specific drive, but LG's website doesn't seem to have a list of drivers for their products.

so im not sure really where to put this, also i dont normally post on here so im not sure on really what to do At home we have our own home theatre that we built with an actual projector and so on *Photos taken by me* and recently i set up one of my old desktops to use as a plex server and a file server (dont worry i have got that all sorted out fine). i heard linus say something about copying all his blurays onto his media server so he doesant have to fumble around with discs. and that got me thinking about doing the same thing, we have about 100 or so blurays in the cupboard and my question is how can i copy/rip (not sure what to call it) the blurays onto my media server wihtout loosing any quality so i can stream it through my plex server? i know there is the route of torrenting them but we support the film industry and would rather buy them so we can get the best quality, i do admit to downloading a few movies (only like 3 becasue i couldnt wait for the bluray) but i dont really like to do that. (and i cant do that now anyway since those sites have been blocked in australia) so im woundering is there a way to copy them onto my hard drive for my plex server. TL;DR Im wanting to know how to copy my blurays discs to a file without loosing any quality so i can watch them in my home theatre without swapping discs everytime, and to stream on my plex server.

I have searched the internet all morning and still can't find a decent answer to my question. My question is "What do I need in order to burn 4K content on a disc, and what do I need to play them." For the burning part I'm looking for advice in what type of Internal Blu-ray Drives support 4K UHD Burning and if any type of Blu-ray Disc supports that resolution writing. For the playing part I'm mainly looking for software what is capable. And if playing back on Linux is preferred rather than Windows as i have heard issues on 4K playback in Windows. I am looking to purchase on Amazon an LG WH16NS40 Blu-ray Burner and some cheap Optical Quantum OQBDR06LT-50 Blu-ray discs for a small filming business as well as personal use since I want to store 4k videos on disc to save memory space on my PC and play it on the PC later on when needed. Any recommendations or advice in 4k burning would be greatly appreciated.

I just threw down some cash for a nice build. Most of the components are white, silver, blue, or RGB. This is the case I am using. I really would like to have a Bluray drive in that front external bay. However, I can't for the life of me find a Bluray R/W drive (HD preferred) that comes in white. I could just get a black one and paint it, but I'm not sure on most clean looking method to do that - and it could eventually flake/scratch off. Are there any suppliers out there that have one in white (I've looked pretty hard), and if not, what is the easiest way to mod something like that? Cut plastic? Paint?

I like to check out movies from the local library to watch them on my computer, and I need a drive for my new build. Even though they are just DVDs I figured I'd go ahead get a blu ray drive just in case for the future. Unfortunately finding in-depth information about these is pretty hard since they're so rare. Does anyone know of a good especially quiet drive? Thanks.

I wanna storage my downloaded tv series at burned discs But I found the capability of the normal discs is too low like 4.8GB What I found more suitable to me is the Bluray discs that are 50GB Can I burn Bluray(50gb) disc with a normal DVD burner (The usual normal one) Or I need to pay extra more for the Bluray burner The problem is my case doesn't support 5.25 drive bay so I need external one and I cant find one selling right now... Thx all..

Watt is the requirement to watch 4K Bluray on PC? My bluray drive won't detect the disk, The drive is a asus bw-16d1ht and i have a lichens for PowerDVD16 If Linus ore luck (Sorry i don't know how to spell your name) see this can you make a video on how you do this. Rumor: LG Wh16NS40 Super Multi blue internal (2015 or later) can read 4K disks. Can anyone confirm this? PowerDVD 16 should be able to play it if i am not mistaken but this need testing Ok PowerDVD 16 is out for now Dear Kim, Thank you for writing us back. In regards to your concern, I would like to inform you that PowerDVD 16/Live and below version don’t support UltraHD Blu-ray (UHD-BD) disc playback yet. The requirements for PCs to play UHD-BD discs is much greater than for CE players, and currently CyberLink is still developing it for the PC ecosystem. To support UltraHD Blu-ray movie disc playback on the PC, several new technologies are required. These new technologies need to be incorporated into the software, optical drives (ODD), CPUs, and graphics processors, and are not all available on the market yet. CyberLink is dedicated to supporting UHD-BD and we’re working closely with our partners (ODD, CPU and graphics processor manufacturers) to deliver a solution. Although the latest version PowerDVD 16 doesn’t support Ultra HD Blu-ray disc playback. You can still enjoy 4K HEVC UltraHD video files playback by PowerDVD 16. -- http://www.cyberlink.com/support/product-faq-content.do?id=19074 Thanks and Regards, Sunpreet CyberLink Technical Support

Putting this in General Discussion because I'm not sure where else to put it I'm trying to rip Blu-Rays from my Blu-Ray collection to a NAS so I can stream it to my Chromecast, etc. However, I'm having trouble with the rips - some discs can be ripped through handbrake no problem at all, but others refuse to be ripped. I used to have AnyDVD HD until SlySoft closed down (in Feb) and I don't trust them give them my cash a second time I tried makeMKV, but it doesn't work on the specific disc either, and it's a 60 day free trial before I have to pay for it Any ways to rip blu rays using freeware or open source software? Tried searching around but I couldn't find much...

I want to know the difference/benefits between 4k blu-ray and 1080p blu-ray. Specifically, does that compression to squeeze the 4k movie onto the same 1080p blu-ray disk reduce the quality to inhibit the potential and desired gains of a 4k movie? Are 4k movies really worth it, yet? I purchased the xbox one s this past weekend, to discover my samsung tv doesn't quite support the quality of 4k it wants to do (10-bit). Samsung has been very vague in the super detailed specs, but it's rumored and assumed that my TV model line is only an 8-bit panel (and after researching more on what the bit's really mean, I'm starting to believe it is from how I've noticed colors and shades over time). I Had upgraded to the xbox one s just for the 4k video, but my TV fights me to allow me to watch my 4k movies discs in that gloried 4k resolution. When I finally got it to work, I was not as wow'd as I expected to be. This might be an issue with my TV, it could be due to the rumored "fact" that most of movie's today have only been shot in 2k and are being professionally upscaled to 4k (so I could be noticing the 2k quality being forced to a 4k image), or perhaps our current blu-ray discs just weren't meant to squeeze four times the movie size on to the same disc. Does anyone have some light to shed on this? Or any corrections for me? Am I being dumb in some of my statements? I'm open to being enlightened.

Title spells it all. Looking for one that you can slot in an existing drive, fasten screws and use it on a desktop, top of case etc. I work with a lot of optical media still, and I'm hoping there's something out there.

I have been looking for a good bluray software player for my computer. Years ago I was given a license for Macgo for windows, and I have been using that, but there seems to be an issue with the windows version that it cannot use the built in bluray menu. Instead it gives this very generic menu (see image). The problem with the menu it uses is that none of the chapters are labeled. This makes finding specific episodes of a tv show very challenging or trying to watch bonus features. Does anyone know if there is a way to enable the bluray menu with this player? If not, can anyone recommend a good program for playing blurays? Paid or free. (I have tried the free versions of Leawo, DAPlayer, Cyberlink, and Aurora) Of the others I've tried they either performed poorly, had the same menu problem or I didn't figure out; if you think I should give one of them another shot, lets talk.

Hey guys, I have a bunch of DVD's and Bluray's which I've collected over the years because I really enjoy having physical media of the films I enjoy but recently I've created a NAS and I'm wanting to start digitising my movie collection. I tried using Handbrake to begin with because it's something I used many years ago for a college project, but it hasn't worked for some films due to licencing restriction, so I've moved on to using VLC to 'Convert/save' which has worked but it has definitely compressed the films visually and audibly. For example Skyfall on DVD is approximately 8GB but the VLC version is just over 1GB and it hasn't kept the 5.1 Dolby Digital audio. What I'm really wanting is a piece of software which will rip DVD's and Bluray's and keep them as close to the original as possible, is that possible with VLC or do I need to use another program? I appreciate there will be some compassion but I don't want it to be noticeable downgrade. I hope that all makes sense. Thanks in advance, Matt

Hello all, I have my computer with a bluray player connected to it by USB. I would like to share that resource over the network. I can share the bluray player as a storage device by doing the standard right click -> share. I even have it mapped on the other machines. However I can not read from it as if it were a bluray player. I have legit copies of powerdvd19 in order to play the blurays on both machines. They are able to see the files on the disk within the program, but acts as if it's a storage device. Thank you for your help in advance.

Mini 4k Bluray Windows media center for my TV
DerEntinator posted a topic in New Builds and Planning
I want to build a cheap and small media centre for my Tv that runs on windows. I already picked up the UHD-friendly BR-Drive ASUS BC-12D2HT in a sale, now I just need everything else to go around it. Yes, I know, "just buy a dedicated BluRay-Player" will be a recurring answer, but I would really like to have an actual Pc at my Tv. And no, I don't want to RIP the BluRays. Also, it would be neat to know what the actual requirements are to play a 4k-HDR-BluRay on a Pc.- 6 replies
