How to Backup a 4K Blu Ray or Standard Blu Ray | ISO Ripping & Burning PC & Mac Hardware & Software

[@robertmcelfresh1031]

Nice Video. One issue - you should start out with a WARNING: Not all DVD/BluRay/4K players will play computer burned disks. I strongly suggest everyone take a blank CD disk, burn a .mp3 file to it, put it into your player and see if it throws an error. If it cannot read a CD-ROM with a .mp3 file burned from a computer - it wont play the computer burned BluRay disks.

[@TechnoDad]

Yeah, I mention that later in the video, I'll go ahead and pin this comment so it's right up top...

I can say fir standard blu-rays, a modded PS3 will work great (don't have a non-modded ps3 to test) but as for UHD Blu-ray idk

[@stopthefomo]

Too much work ! How much do you charge to do this??

hi all! is it possible to burn discs with MacOs Finder? even 100GB+ discs?

[@realdealmind01]

Did you flash your bluray burner with firmware in order to use it to burn 4k bluray discs? I have an Asus BW-16D1HT

[@CaptainCave-t3n]

I love DVD Fab I use it for everything. Awesome video man. Thanks 😊

[@TechnoDad]

Nice, Roy!!

[@MrNorcal81]

Same here. DVDFab is the swiss army knife of video tools. I use Burn Aware, Imgburn or even my old standby CDBurnerXP to burn ISOs and BDMV files to discs and like, TechnoDad, I exclusively use Verbatim blank 25 and 50gb discs. I get few if any coasters with the brand.

[@raymondcrisostomo9778]

Hello, you never gave out what are using to read the 4k blu ray? Software is fine but you need to advise people what type of blu ray reader and writer you are using to burn the disk.

[@wrthomas69]

curious as to why you don't burn the iso image back to disc using dvdfab bluray copy rather than toast.

[@TechnoDad]

For some reason, I can't get the 4K friendly drive to burn anything. So I used Toast since I know it works everytime.

[@stephendevore3902]

Good Video.I did this with 98 percent of my DVD'S . Had problems with dual layer dvds .That as I learned was a disc issues . Since I had my Stroke in 2015.Right now not cost effective . But still interested . 😎☺

Is a 4K Blu-Ray burner drive required for burning a 4K iso image or can I use my regular external Blu-Ray drive for burning the iso image?

[@TechnoDad]

Hi! It depends on the blu ray drive. For computers, I do not think there's a designation for standard or 4K blu ray. I think as long as the drive can burn to a blank BD-XL disc, it will burn a 4K disc. Does that make sense?

[@BigJ1033]

@@TechnoDad Thank you for your response. Also, can you burn a 4K Blu-Ray iso computer file onto a 50GB bd-r or does it have to be on a BD-XL disc?

[@TechnoDad]

@@BigJ1033 As long as the ISO is under 50 GB then a BD-R-DL should work, those are dual layer discs.

i had to flash mine for it to be able to read/write BD-XL

[@sebastian21zuky21]

Great video! How would you burn 160 GB movie for cinema?

[@TechnoDad]

Hi Sebastian! Great question! As of right now, BD-XL blanks go upto 100GB. I've heard of some 125GB blanks but I can't find them. So a 160GB blank is going to be hard to find.

[@brawlman]

I've found that if you use an m.2 SSD on an external PCI 3.0 or even faster 4.0 to do the ripping, with at least 32gb of RAM, the process is much faster! Then transfer to your flavor of RAID for backup 🤓👍 I think having the Zappiti media player makes for a smoother playback to home theater. The Zappiti might be my next option. I've tried to play my movies directly to the LGC1 and get too many buffering issues because of the 10/100 Ethernet. The Oppo203 is hit or miss on playback and not as friendly to the eyes

[@titothomas78]

Does this poineer drive work with dvd fab to make iso or ripping ? With mac ?

[@RandomPerson69_420]

Is it possible to for example burn all three star wars movies to a single disc?

[@TechnoDad]

I doubt there’s a disc with that much space for that. I mean you could probably do that with the single file but not as an ISO that’s readable by a player.

[@MattPaczensky]

What about if you make a backup of a blue ray that is a different region code? I there a way to remove the region coding?

[@paulmardis1512]

Hey TD, I found out something interesting when trying to RIP/Backup 4K Disks. If my disk has the following copy protection the 4K drive fails to read the disk. I had this on "No Time to Die, Suicide Squad, the last Start Wars and Avengers movies. All disks failed to read or come back with scsi error trying to read the disk. Protection: AACS2.0/C v76 Data capacity: 90.86 Gb Disc type: BD-ROM UHD Number of layers: 3 PM

[@DeviPrasad97]

If anyone is reading this, I got the answer. The issue is that most players don't read/play self-burned BDXL discs. I used BD-R DL 50 GB discs, and all of my players can play them. As far as I found, Panasonic UB9000 is the only one that can play BDXL 100 GB discs correctly

I purchased the entire package, but it is sold individually. It depends on how you want to rip the discs.

[@MrCREWCRUSHIN95]

Verbatim makes BD-50 and BD-100 discs that are ReWritable - so you can test out your burn ahead of time and not make coasters out of those expensive BD-50 and BD-100 disks

How come you don't use dvdfab to burn?

[@TechnoDad]

Didn't know I could...also I have DVDFab for PC and I burn on the Mac. I'll try DVDFab next time.

[@MrNorcal81]

@@TechnoDad Yeah, DVDFab lets you burn a cloned or copied disc directly to a blank disc rather than saving them to ISOs or BDMV folders. It can do the same with the Create function (for example converting an MKV or MP4 video file into an autoplay disc). As far as I know it can't just burn to disc files that weren't created by its own components. I still prefer to create ISOs or BMDV folders and then use an external program (Burn Aware, Imgburn or CDburner XP) to actually burn the discs. Sometimes an ISO or m2ts needs to be tested first before burning.

[@Henkibojj]

You essentially want an Audio CD but with 50 000/640 MB = 78 times the normal 74 minutes = a 5 781 minute disc? First off, no audio cd player will recognize bluray or even dvd, so that won't work, and while CD-R can be used to burn Audio CD, I don't think I've ever heard of Audio DVD or Audio Bluray. The closest you can get is to rip all those CDs in whatever quality you like (320 kbps is Audio CD quality) into mp3, then burn all those mp3s onto a disc to play on whatever device can read that type of disc. My guess is there is no other solution than to make it a Data disc filled with mp3s. There is ISO but that's a strange way around it. If you want to play it in a car stereo, a simple USB thumb drive is a much easier and cheaper option.
