Why we need to downgrade firmware on UHD Drive

If you want to back up a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc, you need an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive and UHD backup software. However, if the Blu-ray drive is originally manufactured or it was updated with the latest firmware, then it may not be able to work with the UHD backup software anymore. Actually, many newly released Ultra HD Blu-ray optical drives have been no longer UHD friendly.
