Because Blu-Ray movies are usually encoded for copy protection, users may experience compatibility problems if they use outdated software.
In order to counter this problem, manufacturers issue firmware updates that improve compatibility for various encoding techniques. Although upgrading your firmware can bring various improvements to disc playback and compatibility, the process is quite risky and may cause damage to your device if not done properly.
To clear up some Blu-ray related confusion, the following section explains the difference between firmware, software, and drivers, and how they relate to data storage drives. Firmware is housed on the Optical Disc Drive itself. Drivers are housed on the computer, and provide instructions for how the computer communicates with the drive. These instructions may include how to interpret the data that is sent by the drive, what type of data it is, or how to send data to the drive to be burned.
Some legacy devices may use specific drivers, but this is rare. All newer drives are Plug-and-Play compliant, meaning the drivers are already built-in to the computer. Note: Our newer drives have been tested with Windows 10 and remain Plug-and-Play compliant.
Media playback software, such as the Cyberlink Media Suite that comes with our drives, is used to process the data that is sent to the computer from the disc drive.
