I am looking for a carousel that I can store my Blu Ray discs in, but I want to be able to operate it with an IPad, does anyone know any?

'collectorz' has a software product that will organize all your dvds. they say it will run on ipad. but this carousel will only connect via USB so you may have to use your ipad to find the right 'number' and enter it manually. it's not a big deal. i have 15 of these and the collectorz software. great system. but i'm running on PC with USB connection.

The device is very excellent and practical, but does not support the iPad, you can run it on the desktop machine or just use the number pad installed on the device

The above carousel is great but the models I have are operated manually and although you can have your library on your computer (windows) and a usb connection to select a disc, I use a printed list. Cyberguys will have more info on model features. Good box though.

My husband has transferred DVDs to our iPhone and iPad. I don't know exactly how he did it, but it can be done. Maybe through a cloud? That would be my guess. Alright, he said he used some type of software.

This is just the divice; it does not come with the software; that has to be downloaded for your specific operating system. There is more than one choice for the software, (more that one brand name). It is tricky to work correctly on a MAC for Blu-ray, but DVDs work much better. Almost all software available will play DVD an CD on this drive. Apple does not have a business interest supporting external drives like blu-ray, since most of its software, applications, entertainment, are available through iTunes. very respectfully, Curtthom@cox.net, Frankfurt, Germany

Same here on 3D support. I'm using my Playstation 3 for 3D Blu Ray, but would really like a Blu Ray changer. I have two Sony 400 DVD changers and really use / love them. Yet, a Blu Ray changer without 3D in 2011 is just short changing the buyer.

Pressing those little 123 buttons on top will spin the carousel, that is about all I know from my use of the CD. Mine still cannot turn off and when it does, turns itself back on at any given moment it sees fit. I will never buy electronics from Amazon again. Sorry I could not give you a better answer Tonya.

Am I crazy, or is it more than a bit offputting that, after buying a machine, you then have to start getting upgrades for it just to be able to play newer discs? My machine's about two years old, and the last disc I bought wouldn't load. Seems like a rip-off to me. And it's not like blu-ray sales have been strong enough to justify this sort of customer fleecing.

I'm unsure. I use it on a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 running. I have an LG Blu-ray burner in it. On my system, I was able to just plug it in and go, no software installation. I use it in conjunction with Adobe Encore to create BD projects.

I can't find a disc for it here Sheila. Let me search around for you and see if I can find the software somewhere you can download it and burn it to a disc on your good machine and use the disc to set up the other one.

It is possible they could later add the feature and use the SD card to hold the time flags for where you were in a movie. I think it's difficult with Blu-Ray because there is A LOT of data for it to jump through. Why would you want to take a movie out, watch something else, and then later put it back in and finish it????

Thanks for the update. I ended up buying the LG BD570 Network Blu-ray Disc Player after all my investigations and it has turned out to be a great device.I hardly use it for disc playback though, but it's nice to know that the option is there.

Corel Win DVD pro supports Blu Ray PB and windows 8 and is what I use. VLC DOES work BUT requires some modification & only plays the main movie (I also have used it).As for Authoring.... I would recommend goggling it. I am still working on that I am evaluating some different software at this time. I CAN say that it burns disks of ALL formats well.

Blue ray cases are too small for this.... But the same company makes CD racks... Those might work better for a blue ray case. I don't own any blue ray movies, so not sure the exact size to compare to a cd

I hadn't thought about that before so I gave it a try. I actually like it better for the Ipad then for a book. The small plastic book holder at the bottom, which holds the front of the book gets in the way of the center control button on the Ipad if you pull it tight but if you leave it loose is easily pulled down when you want to access the control button. All in all I could see using it for E readers or movies. Gosh I think I will get a lot more use of the book seat in the future. Thank you for bringing this question up.

I have not used it with an ipad or small books (paperbacks), so I'd be afraid to suggest it, not having used it for that, sorry.

I have owned an Oppo upconverting DVD player for several years. It does a wonderful job improving the quality of my standard DVD movie disks. But a $500.00 Oppo Blu_Ray player? I have a big problem with that. Can we really SEE the difference in a Blu_Ray movie played on an Oppo machine versus a player costing half the price. I cannot say, but I personally doubt it. I'd really like someone to explain this (in non-tech terms) to me.

XKTtsueercrr is the Seller. Looks like with Visio and ASUS, they sell all kinds of models. I thought I bought the wrong thing, but the case if for external use. I bet you could install it internally by removing the case, but I wouldn't. They do have a web site you can go to by the same name. I looked and the Blu-ray wasn't listed. You can contact them through email. I can't do everything for you.

I don't know. Simple answer, - call LG Tec support and your Mac help support TEAM for questions like this. I cannot answer questions about private systems. Blu ray is a whole new ballgame and that's why I rejected going Apple. They don't support movie, Jpeg files. I only know they have a regular dvd player, which is now obsolete.
