Sure, again, it may play, and likely would with the more lenient players of today that may have decoders for other formats, but again, it won't be standard, and any proper playback, as blu-ray video, would be nothing more than pure luck. The MKV container is not designed to mux important packets of info relevant to BD, such as metadata (IDK, delimiters, HRD, SPS, etc), necessary for blu-ray compatibility, particularly any calculations/data pertinent at the container level. You can try with a tool like tsMuxer, and it may work, even out of spec, but this would be nothing more than finger-crossing compatibility at best.Īnd even if the specs are still standard in the video, just having it in MKV alone breaks compatibility. This would need a re-encoding, and could hurt quality and would be much slower than a simple remuxing to M2TS in a blu-ray structure. You need blu-ray specs with the H.264 video to play it in your blu-ray player, which includes resolution, fps, etc. The H.264 video in an MKV file is not enough to be standard. WH16NS60, WH14NS40, WH16NS40, BH16NS55 > HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.For almost a decade now we still get those who "acquired" some MKV file and want it to play on their blu-ray player, mostly from new members. ***If the drive was modded previously, don't check the "enc?" box*** In SDFtool Flasher, select the desired drive, select WRITE, check the "enc?" box, press on "- Please select A Firmware to Write -", navigate to the correct firmware file, open it, and then press on START.

Luckily, the MakeMKV community came up with a modified firmware for most common ASUS and LG Blu-Ray drives. The Blu-Ray drive won't read Blu-Ray media!!! Completely absurd and ridiculous. It appears that hardware vendors have begun blocking UHD within the drives' firmware. If you bring in a movie, you may face an unpleasant surprise. I don't know if you guys and girlettes are aware, but latest internal Blu-Ray drives (and its firmware) cannot read UHD discs.
