Downgrade UHD Unfriendly Firmware for Normal Backup

Here comes a firmware downgrading tool, DVDFab UHD Drive Tool, which is designed to help you downgrade the current firmware on your 4K UHD drive, so that you can make legal backups of your 4K Blu-ray discs with 4K UHD backup tools, such as UHD Copy and UHD Ripper.
