If there is, then i must have missed something, but I've combed through over 20 pages of information regarding both the WH14NS40 drive and its functionality, and also about how to get the discs usable after i got it running. Is this hardware or software? By searching online the specific error, there isnt any conclusions on what causes the error, and especially not UHD media.

Now they will spin up, but no software ive tried so far can handle the discs. I understand this isnt the proper place to be discussing powerdvd, however my intention for bringing this up, is that, my discs would not spin up at all. Is it something deeper that i am misunderstanding that would give the format issue? I realize it says UHD supported drives, however my drive can recognize and spin up 4k drives. The only limitation i am finding is the drive. I didnt know about the hashed keys, thank you.Īs for powerdvd 18, i fully meet every requirement even with intels newest generation of processor. You either have to create an MKV file from the titles presented/available after it scans the disc, or dump the decrypted full disc structure onto an HDD/SSD for playback. It is NOT an application that decrypts and then enables direct playback of UHD discs that have been inserted into UHD Friendly drives or other in the background like AnyDVD. If you are a beginner at this I would recommmend to start with JRiver as it bundles UHD playback functionality pretty neatly and they provide useful FAQs over at their website and their own support forum for assistance.ģ. I suggest you start looking into unlicensed/unofficial players like JRiver and/or MPC-BE.

This subject in detail could go on for pages. They have been discussed in detail in thousands of places across the web since the begining of 2017. Why and what are they you ask? Google is your friend. There are strict requirements that have to be met to play UHD discs using PowerDVD. PowerDVD 18 is an official licensed player and has to abide by rules/laws put in place by the BDA, AACS LA, and movie studios. As detailed in that FAQ, make sure you have the hash key file in the CORRECT place for decrypting UHD discs.Ģ. It has very important/useful information regarding ripping/decrypting UHD discs with MakeMKV.
