Does this Samsung model work with OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion)? I had burned some dvds with OS 10.7 and they no longer work with the Mac dvd player.

According to Samsung, it is completely compatible with the MAC OS http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/pc-peripherals/optical-disc-drive/dvd-rw/SE-208AB/TSBSA-features (bottom of page)

John- I don't own a Mac Air, but regularly use my 2 yr. old iMac 21" with OS10.8.5 and burn CDs with this burner all the time with no problems. Jeff

I found online that it supports OS X 10.6 and up. I am not familiar with OS X in general so I can't fully commit and say it will be easy to use. Many users are claiming it to be hard to find a good program for burning the data. Apple has never endorsed Blu-Ray so this shouldn't be surprising. I would check some forums before committing to a purchase, but I must say its a great BD burner.

Having looked up and looked at the spec sheet for your machine it appears to be and older IDE type of interface so the Samsung will work. It is NOT a DVD burner it is read only. You can watch DVDs and listen to and store music and data. You can access video files that you have stored using third party software like VLC media player but I repeat, you cannot "Burn" DVDs.

Should work just fine with all Mac OS 10 versions. I'm running 10.8 on a MacBook Pro but it's a standard protocol. Note that for a MacBook Pro you won't be able to plug both USB cables (one for data, one for power) without a usb extension cord because the MacBook only has one port on each side, too far apart for the caple supplied to stretch. However, it will read DVDs OK with only one usb connection - I think it only requires the extra power when it's writing.

The drive works well on my system, an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mountain Lion). I did a quick online search and found users reporting no problems using OS 10.5 (Leopard) and several versions in between. Check your OS and search for the drive and your specific OS

No it will not burn DVD. Also, you will not be able to install any software as Apple does not support older operating systems. I did not know that when I purchased mine. It is adorable and works very well, but limited as to what you can do with it.

Sigurbjorn, I'm not sure. We've never had that question asked. VHS should play similarly, although DVD has copyright limits, and supports Region 1 only. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I wouldn't take a chance. It was supposed to work on my Imac and it read CD's and DVD's but wouldn't burn a DVD. I got a new drive from Apple and it works like a charm. I don't trust this product.

It's worked great on my MacBook and a Toshiba running 8.1 and the developer's preview of 10. If you're trying to boot from the DVD drive, make sure the laptop's bios supports external drives and as Tyler said, if you want to play DVDs, you'll need to download another program. VLC Player works perfectly if you need a 3rd party media player that supports DVDs.

Yes, but after about 3 weeks, that and the ability to play media on a thumb drive were the only features still working. The ability to play discs - of any kind - was not. I do not advise the purchase of this player. I used to have better luck with Samsung, you might give one of their players a try.

I don't rememebr. Shortly after I bought it, the DVD/Blue Ray stopped working. Samsung customer support told me to pack sand, so I threw it out. Do not buy that.

Alexei Sadovnikov, Burning software for Mac/Apple computers would not be included in the package. Additional software would be required for editing and authoring Blu-Ray discs. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I have no idea regarding Apple. I'm going to guess that if there is a burner for DVDs then it should work. Try it and see.

Yes, you get a disk with drivers on it, and there are Mac OS drivers included: OSv10.6, OS X Lion, OS XMountain Lion v12.27. There ought to be one driver there that works for your MAC. If Mac is plug'n'play, you shouldn't have a problem!
