As another poster said elsewhere, please stop. You really must have some sort of brain issue that prevents you from realizing that you're completely and utterly wrong on so many things. (As if the non-stop babbling about the same talking points ad infinitum wasn't a huge clue....) I can read UHD discs perfectly fine on multiple drives that support BDXL but aren't Ultra HD-compliant (i.e., they don't have the extra firmware capabilities required by AACS 2.0). If you can't read those discs, you own lousy hardware. That's on you. Plenty of us can read our discs just fine.
