Can Blu-ray Writer burn and read 4K video ?

OS - Ubuntu 20.04

I'm prepared purchasing "ASUS BW-16D1HT PRO/BLK/G/AS 16X Blu-ray Writer"

K3b is the software on Ubuntu to burn video on Blu-ray disc

Burn Blu-ray Disks in Ubuntu, Linux Using K3b

Can I burn and read 4K video on this writer?

Thanks

4k video is just a file, if you can write a file to the burner you can write 4k video to it and read it back with a video player that can handle 4k.
Commercial 4k discs, if there are any, will be protected and will need special software to rip it.

Otherwise your question should be can I write 4k video that will play on normal 4k playback devices.
You would need 3rd party software to do that like dvdfab UHD unless they also can handle simple files.

Hi,

I have a ASUS BW-16D1HT with the correct BIOS. If you update it will no longer read 4k Blu-rays.
You can rip the disk but not burn it.
