If so, your track record in this regard isn't exactly stellar. I'll take the word of countless people who know how this stuff works, and even random people on forums who try everything under the sun when trying to play their discs, over one video that has, conveniently enough, disappeared.
That was someone else who made that video. He was trying to find out what would happen if he hooked up one of these disc drives to a non-disc drive PlayStation 5. He "tested" the drive with his MacBook Pro (in Macgo) before taking it to the PS5. I eventually noticed it was the Blu-ray because the UHD of the film used (Black Panther) has more languages to choose from. That video is still up.

But the video I am talking about in this post was an unboxing of one of the UHD-capable Pioneer drives. He hooked up the drive to his laptop, which was not an Apple machine, and used PowerDVD to play the UHD of Predator. I cannot find that video anymore.
