    Verbatim is doing more than just keeping the formats on life support – it also unveiled new hardware at CES 2025. Its Slimline Blu-ray Writer lets you back up 4K video to Ultra HD Blu-ray and even comes bundled with antiquated Nero disc burning software.

    This is the important part imo, given that LG and Sony both pulled out of the USB Blu-ray reader-writer market

    Means we’ll be able to rip Blu-ray’s into the future. At least, that’s what I hope. Need to check there are cracks for these writers.

    EDIT: Won’t link to it here, but many Verbatim writers, UHD and otherwise, use Pioneer hardware internally and are therefore crackable.

        Probably that you can backup your own media

          It’s a bd writer, it can backup my media out of the box.

          Edit: oh, I see. You mean “backup”. Lol gotcha. Yeah, cracking would be needed for that.
