CDBurnerXP is an interesting freeware solution for Windows If it does not work properly, it has also proven itself update the burning software / player software check the cable connection (change slot) if absolutely not to use a passive USB hub connect the thicker cable directly to the motherboard (on the back of the PC) not to use too many USB devices.

Even comes with a carrying case -- what a nice surprise! Front-loading is quick and it has a nice spring to the loader. As with all Blu-Ray drives, it's completely useless unless you know a fair deal what you're doing when it comes to messing with drivers to bypass AACS encryption -- no modern CPUs being produced have the hardware that supports the vanilla software they intend you to run this with. If you want to use this with VLC, you'll need to flash the firmware to 1.00 and use MakeMKV to install LibreDrive on it -- which isn't complex, but not particularly easy either (though certainly easier than installing the crap they intend you to setup). With that done you can run this on any PC pretty much (ignore the faff about requiring a certain old intel chipset feature) and it does a more than competent job at running Blu-Ray. If you're on a Mac don't waste your time and just buy a set top player. Review: Fantastic future proof 4k reader/blu-ray writer 5 out of 5 - This drive is absolutely fantastic, only thing have not tried yet is to play 4k content on it, or tried burning, but it is whisper quiet and even comes in its own hard case, for the money, this is excellent value when it is also future proof, first I was hesitant as had never heard of the name before, but well worth the money, its literally plug and play so don't have to find drivers for it either 5 out of 5 I would rate this at, as I dont expect problems with either playing 4k content or burning disks with it. ## Features - External 4k-UHD Ultra-HD player super-drive in a stylish brushed aluminum case with a new Ultra slimline tray-load drive from Pioneer BDR-UD04 UHD version.

Cyberlink no longer support this player. *by S***R on 29 January 2024* I bought this in order to play 4k Blu Rays on my PC. My PC is specced out to thme max - 14th gen i9, RTX 4090, 64gb ram, but it does not work. I was advised in the porduct spec before buying that I needed Cyberlink PowerDVD software in order to play UHD BDs - I bought this for another £44.95. Cyberlink no longer support UHD BD playback. It does not work. I contacted Cyberlink tech support. They have remove3d UHD BD player back due to differing standards. VLC does not work. Windows Media Player does not work. Drive is therfore useless to me. Returned, somewhat angry and disappointed, for a full refund. Unless you want this to write your own Blu rays or for data back, I strongly suggest you do not buy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/120398973-archgon-star-uhd-external-4k-ultra-hd-bd-player-blu](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/120398973-archgon-star-uhd-external-4k-ultra-hd-bd-player-blu) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
