The PC I bought the Transcend for had Windows XP. It recently crashed, and I bought a new one with Windows 8.1 When I attach the Transcend to it via USB port, it does play DVDs.

yes - but since it was a Windows 8 machine that was reconfigured to Windows 7, the DVD driver was not compatible and did not function. The correct DVD driver has to be located and downloaded for the DVD drive to work.

I have no idea as we could never get ours to even play a DVD. I do not recommend this item. It is poorly made, and odds are it won't work. You'd be wasting your money.

Sadly, this unit just plays DVD's. You'll need a combination VHS tape & DVD recorder to do what you asked about.

Yes, it can absolutely play DVD movies, view/write and burn to multiple format CD's and DVD's.

The simple answer is, 'no, it does not play DVD's'. You have to do that through your computer and one of the USB or HDMI Cables; it does however accept USB Sticks.

I do not use audio discs in it so I cannot answer the question, I only know that it will fast play and resume with a DVD.

I do not know if it will play these disks. I have never tried to play any type of audio disc on it, only out of region DVDs is all I use it for.

Yes as long as it's connected to a PC running the proper DVD player software. This is not a stand alone DVD player.

Yes and No. I'm using 8.1 and discovered that while it works fine as a CD device, Windows 8.1 won't play DVDs in it's Media Player. What you need to do is download the free VLC Media Player to play DVDs. Works fine, nice features.

It's hard to say, however it is most likely your laptop. You do need software on your computer that can play DVD's. I've personally used this drive to play DVD's without issue.

It has a DVD RW drive, but I haven't used it yet so can't tell you how well it works.

Hi there - short answer is yes - just hook it up and it'll play any DVD - I play discs from both UK and US on my US TV and they work fine

Sorry Twila, it won't. You need to have a region FREE dvd player and this is only for the US. Oh, by the way, stay clear from Amazon on this one, unless you do not mind buying used-reconditioned items that they say is NEW.
