This is called a rewriter. So I can burn media onto blank blu ray discs? I know it's probably dumb, but they keep changing terms.

honestly I have no clue I have yet to burn anything with it but I know it reads great. I downloaded VLC to use with it.

With this drive you can write to CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray. *NOTE* You will have to have the software to use to Playback Blu-Ray, or to Burn as Blu-Ray. If you do not already have playback software for Blu-Ray, you will have to purchase it, and the same goes for Blu-Ray writing. There is more information about this available on the web. Good luck!

Yes, This deck both reads and writes blu-ray media as well as other CD & DVD media from/to blu-ray discs.

You need a Blu-Ray Writer for true 1080p HD although for short 720p(low level HD) movies you can use this or any DVD burner. Full 1080p movies use up to 50GB or 25Gb with compression(Blu-Ray discs). A DVD blank disc can only handle up to 4.7Gb(SL) or 8.5Gb(DL-Dual Layer) of information. It really depends how much information you want in your discs.

I just put files on my hard drive and use nero to make the dvd's they play much better than my dv recorder, and if I want to save and wait to get a blueray recorder I could always burn in hd, but they are a bit expensive the price will come down

My first answer of NO seems to have been published without my additional comment of : 'Not that I'm aware of. It is a simple copier: whatever is on the master CD/DVD is directly copied to the blank.'

Also, there are free disk player programs out there, such as VLC Media Player (which can play just about anything you are likely to come across) and ExMplayer which even plays 3D Blu-Rays either in 3D or converted to 2D on the fly if necessary! For burning software, there is Img-Burn, an excellent FREE disk burning program. A search on the internet will help you find them. Good luck! F.H.

I have writer 2.0 and started using it up to the point where I was going to burn the disc...It accepts dvd-r and dvd-r dl. Dvd-r dl is not exactly easy to find as I use dvd+r dl. I hope that it will make transfering the avchd files quickly. I have already succesfully copied the avchd files in windows explorer to a blank dvd+r and played them back in PS3. I wanted something that could create menus which is why I was trying hd writer. update: I have used this with -r and it works quickly, creates an avchd disc that plays automatically in ps3 with menus and chapters.

I have not tried burning Blu-ray it burned other media, for me it's the shitty software that comes with it

It reads and writes Blu-Ray just live DVD. To copy, I'm assuming you mean rip, it would depend on software compatibility and protections placed on the disk itself. For example, you could easily copy information over from an unprotected data disk but probably would not be successful trying to rip a copyrighted movie, but then I've never tried.

YES you can put any DAta onto Blank Bluray for backup storage . I use for large files myself . You need a bluray drive to read the data again . you play each file from the disc with whatever program your using on your computer to play file . Also it will work on bluray standalone players that play mp3 ,cd & Dvd .Ive watched footage from my cameras and other Filmer cams both Authored DVDs ,Blurays and raw HD Vid files . Its BDR DAta on the menu then you have to access the folders and files within to play.

For free, the Daum "PotPlayer" works well for computer BD "playback". Odd name but a good program. If you are willing to pay for a program for that, or to burn blu rays, go to CNET and they have lots of them to choose from - both free and paid versions, and CNET rates them by users and Editors ratings to weed out the bad programs. I prefer free. PotPlayer does Win 7, 64 bit, too.

Not without knowing more than just "I can't...convert my DVDs." People can't provide help when they don't even know what they're trying to help you with. Please be more specific in what step of the process you're having problems with and what you're trying and what's happening when you try it, as well as anything else that could be helpful information to anyone attempting to assist you.

Hi Harvo, The DIGISTOR drive doesn't come with software for Mac that allows regular disc file burning. The Mac software that it comes with is called REWIND and it is built for creating a personal archive of files you want to archive to Blu-ray disc. If you'd like to burn regular Blu-ray disc files to disc, you will need additional software like Toast, which is not included in the package.Thanks,The DIGISTOR Support Teamwww.digistor.com/support

I simply renamed my xvid movie which usually has a .avi file extension to a .mpg file extension. Low and behold, the blu-ray player played it just fine with no conversion necessary. Surprise! (rolls eyes...)

No because of copyright laws and industry restrictions - this will not happen on a device that writes to portable recording media (DVD, Blu-ray, etc). The idea being - as I understand it - to restrict/reduce/eliminate anything but streaming media to consumers. Your satellite, cable, etc PVR/DVR's that have hard drives only - encrypt that data at rest on the hard drive. Your DVR/PVR HDMI output signal checks to see if the receiving device is DMCP - digital media copyright protection compliant - and these devices will not be compliant as the industry and law are currently. I would recommend AVS forums for any indepth discussion of this subject. This is very high level - and I'm not an expert.

It will as long as you use blank bd discs that hold the volume of the blu-ray disc your trying to copy. Many blu-ray discs have more than 25 gb, so you will need bd blanks that hold up to 50 gb, and they are pricey !

No I wasted my money on it..It needs a software that will burn even a regular blu ray disc.

Hi,We hate to bring this up. This has nothing to do with the drive, but the software that converts it. The disc will burn on the drive for those files, but it is still the post production work you done on your computer for converting the files to digital.So, the questions is really about post production work of converting blu ray discs to digital. Yes, this drive can read blu ray discs. That is the simple part of the answer.
