Ashley: Not on a lenovo IdeaPad running Windows 8.1 I had to return the product (no hassle with the return). It would not play CD, DVD movies or allow software downlaods from DVD. I ordered Generic USB Exterenal CD-WR / DVD-WR Drive that been working great since March 2014.

Yes but you will also need a software like CyberLink PowerDVD to play the Blu-ray movies, which is not included with this purchase, this is only the hardware to read the Blu-ray disk you still need the software to play them. I have had mine for a while now and I love it and I have had NO issues at all with it.

I don't know. I use a seagate movie player to access my movies. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

This will Read Bluray and DVD, but will only burn DVD and CD's.. It does not burn Bluray. and to answer your question, yes, it will do the same for music and pc games, but will require the software that does that. Just meaning, when it was sent to me, it came with software that allowed it to play DVD/Bluray, but not to burn anything.. so as long as you have the software (or whomever sends you the device, includes the software with it) Hope this helps

That's what it says but I didn't have a blue ray disc to test it out. Unlike stock Win8 this machine does play DVDs out of the box. Asus took care of that for you. Good old MS removed media player from 8.

It plays only DVD format (I think they call it VR mode), not any other video. It plays MP3 music and displays JPEG. That's it.

Yes, it does. Windows Media Player played it though I prefer VLC to play most of my media. Optical drive is a little noisy was what I observed right away.

I had never tried to play movies, so I just put in a bluray and it didn't play, and then I put in a regular dvd and it did play... so it doesn't play blu-ray

No, it doesn't. You'd need to buy an external drive if you wanted to play DVDs through this machine.

not exactly. It will only play items in the current folder that is open if you choose to open a folder rather than choose to play by either music or movies. IE: From the main menu you can choose movies, music, photos or folder. If you choose movies, it will play all the movie type filess on your drive one after the other (avi, mpeg, mkv etc.) If you choose music, it will play all the music type files (mp3, wav, wma, etc.) if you choose folder, it will play all the file types shown in that folder, but will not play anything in a sub folder.

With the "Reel 'em In" game I can play without the DVD in the drive. I use a laptop for my games. I also purchased the "Zeus II" game and I have to have the disc in the computer to run it.

Not really sure, but my wife plays some older DVD's from time to time and it always works.

I can't seem to play DVD's. I load it and I just get a list of files. Do I have to install a media player?

Yes, it plays PS1 and PS2 games. It has a built-in data/game utility setting that saves data from other playstation consoles.

I don't know for sure, but good chance that it does. It seems to play everything. I copied all of our kids DVD's to a media drive then copied those to a 32G USB thumb drive which I use in the headrest. Works great, so far no issues, kids love them.

No because is a bluray player. You can use it out of the box. Any driver you need it'll install automatically as long as you are on line. Hope this helps you.
