There no such thing as "pushing firmware" on a PC drive, unless the user has installed Asus software that specifically does drive updates. My ASUS BW-16D1HT is still on firmware 3.00.Using the ASUS BW-16D1HT as an example, ASUS pushed the 3.02 firmware on January 15, 2018. On January 22 they pushed 3.03. 3.03 closes the hole.
They were likely leaned on by LG and the rest of the powers that be.

No dumb question at all. IMHO PC UHD/HDR playback can be a real PITA. I suggest to copy UHD discs to mkv (e.g., using CloneBD) and play them on a decent media player. I use a handful of Nvidia Shields for this purpose.Bit of a newbie question if I may on uhd and anydvd.
The reason I bought Anydvd many years ago and renewed with Redfox was to backup my blurays. I'm just not comfortable only having 1 plastic disc I want a backup too. Something to do with my OCD I suspect.
Now with UHD the thing that has stopped me getting into them is the lack of the ability to back them up but also the ridiculous requirements for play back on PC. Now my question is, if I can make a backup with anydvd does that also circumvent the playback requirements as in kaby lake cpu, uhd drive, graphics card (from Jeff R 1's post)??? Or, once backed up can I expect to be able to play them on the same equipment I use now for playing my bluray backups. I understand the requiement for a UHD friendly drive to make the backup on the first place. If the answer is yes then this is indeed agame changer for 4k discs and might actually help 4k get established.
Hope this is not a dumb question.
On some boards it's a violation to post links to other boards if so here, please delete this post.Is there a comprehensive list of UHD "friendly" drives somewhere? Is it more than a list of one, being comprised of the LG "internal" drive (BH16NS55) and ASUS (re-badged LG) with a specific firmware?

It is basically the LG and it's clone (Asus).Is there a comprehensive list of UHD "friendly" drives somewhere? Is it more than a list of one, being comprised of the LG "internal" drive (BH16NS55) and ASUS (re-badged LG) with a specific firmware?
My drive is same firmware 3.0There no such thing as "pushing firmware" on a PC drive, unless the user has installed Asus software that specifically does drive updates. My ASUS BW-16D1HT is still on firmware 3.00.
Is it possible to create a protected UHD iso with official UHD drives using AnyDVD? I don't have a UHD friendly drive right now.
Euhm no. Myce would need to do that. We're not going to follow another forums rules if that rule even exists, and if it does myce needs to do it on their end. We have no impact on another board.On some boards it's a violation to post links to other boards if so here, please delete this post.
Here's your list:
