Thr PS4 Pro doesn’t read 4K Blu-Ray discs, and even if it did, software for authoring such a disc is prohibitively expensive (the ones that claim you can do it that aren’t thousands of dollars don’t really work, at least not in a universally compatible manner).

So the answer to “Can I burn 4K77 or 4K83 to a 4K Blu-Ray disc that a 4K Blu-Ray player will be able to play?” is, unfortunately… no, not right now, but hopefully someday.

And sadly, the PS4 Pro cannot play video files encoded with H265, which is what 95% of all 4K media (including the 4K releases of 4K77 and 4K83) uses. You’ll have to reencode it yourself to H264 in an MKV container, and you can’t use DTS audio either because the PS4’s media player doesn’t support DTS.

Thing is, if you have a 4K TV, it’s almost always easiest to just put the MKV on a flash drive and plug it directly into your TV’s USB port. That’s what I do and it works great.

Only issue there is some TVs won’t support DTS-HD MA, so you might have to remux the file with an AC3 or PCM audio track instead of the DTS.
