In order to get the drive to rip 4k, you need to flash the drive image to from BU40N to BU40N 1.03MK. It comes with a travel protective case and all the necessary cords to plug into your computer. The aluminum encased drive will read UHD, read/write Bluray, M-Disc BD-R, DVD, and CD… and will work for PC and Mac. I bought Archgon’s External USB 3.0 UHD 4K Blu-Ray Writer Super Drive for $125 from Amazon. Without a BD, I had to teach myself how to rip from a 4k UHD disc. To add insult to injury, Arrow Films, charging as much as they do, they have never offered a free digital or streaming copy of their films. I own a lot of 4K discs, and all of them came with a Bluray, so naturally, I just thought this new release would automatically come with a BD. It was very expensive, I thought it would just come with a Bluray for me to rip… but it did not. Very recently, I bought True Romance on 4K from Arrow Films. I’ve no regret about the one-time payment, it’s probably the best purchase I’ve ever made, considering that I use it on all my Blurays. I did that for a while, until I got sick of the license expiring every month… so I did pay (or “donate”) for the software. It’s free as long as you get a new license from them every month. Instead, I went with a free Bluray ripper called MakeMKV, which I really liked. You can buy a “lifetime” subscription for $200, but I chose not to. In those early days, I did recommend a paid program called DVDFab … but, as the program shifted to a subscription model for Bluray, I couldn’t support the software anymore. Since the early 2000s, I’ve been ripping my DVDs, as a form of backup… and also a way for me to easily access my films and television shows.
If you know me, you know that I own multiple thousands of DVDs and Blurays.
