Depends if your DVD or Blu-Ray supports it but I have been able to use that feature with movies and whatnot

It has no problem in playing DVDs. You can use the software that comes with it or use whatever other compatible software.

yeah i looked at the program that comes with it supports 5.1, i dunno about 7.1 though, but i assume that it does

YES, any DVD can be read by the Asus dvd/dvdrw, its a reader and writer + or - device.

Yes although you will only get 5.1 instead of the possible 7.1 on ur receiver (2 ports would be unused unless u buy 2 extra speakers)

Yes you will just have to format the drive and install a new copy of 7. Make sure before you do that you have all the Samsung drivers

Yes if you're using USB 3.0. Movies will play on USB 2.0 but will be clunky instead of smooth animation.

Yes since this laptop contains" 4 x USB 2.0 ports" and the DVD is external connection via USB this should work fine. Once connected the OS should install the proper driver automatically.

i put a bunch of movies on my asus 904 ha....i used my mac desktop to "rip" a dvd movie...then i use an application called "handbrake" to turn it into an .avi file....if you download vlc media player (free)...you can play any ripped dvd movies on your asus...and because its .avi...the size is about 1gb per movie

More than likely. I bought my region 2 dvds from eBay and they play like a regular DVD would. As long as it isn't a bad boot leg copy, you shouldn't have any problems

Sure, if it's connected to a PC or laptop with the appropriate software to view a movie (I'm assuming a movie on DVD is what you mean).

I don't know. I have only used Region 1. I believe the software handles this, like regular DVD's.

Mine is on 7 but I am going to try it on my laptop and that has 8.1. It should work

Use HDMI into your receiver and it will drive 7.1 speakers with no problems, assuming that your video is encoded for 7.1 sound.

It has worked perfectly so far for me. I'm running windows 8.1 on an Asus. Some tips; it seems to help if you plug the power cable in before plugging in the USB data cable. Also, windows doesn't come with a program to play DVDs, so you'll need to download one.

If you use the optical output you can get 5.1 possibly 7.1 but it does not do that with analog.

Yes it can, but you'll need to install the software update for Lion after you install the DVD. Go help &gt; Online Update.
