Does it have the software needed to burn Blu Ray disk?

I cant confirm, as I havent tried to burn a Blu Ray disk. But I would be surprised if it required additional software to burn one. Then again, I was surprised to find it didnt come with Microsoft Office. Sorry I couldnt be of more help.

YES - I use the drive for read/rewrite/write for Blu-ray & DVD. I have not had any need to utalize a CD so that is a ?

Yes I'm running windows 7 but mine did not come with software for the drive. I already had software on a disc from one I bought 2 years ago from another source. Total Media Extreme 2 will probably play both HD DVD and blu ray disc. You can usally find it on a trial basis online.

Yes. However, it comes without software. I recently purchased one and after testing I determined that it is a bad unit. Test this unit with special software for amount of errors after burning CD/DVD disks. I use Nero CD/DVD Speed.

It does play Blu-ray Disc (BD). I always discard bundled software because they are all bloat/ads-ware offering what I don't want & need. Download no-charge VLC Media Player, and it plays BD movies great!Windows Media Player also plays BD movies, but I much more prefer VLC Media Player.

Without the proper software, you will not be able to decode Blu-ray discs. Cyberlink worked for me and a few Blu-ray discs, but I haven't tried all of them yet. It may be a version issue, or it might be the disc you're trying to play. Good luck!

I have used several: DVD FAB, Nero 11 and several iso burners. The only thing I tried that failed completely was the Windows burner. It is an absolute bust at Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray burning is a real resource hog I am using win7, quad core running at 3.2Ghz and 8 Gig of RAM and when burning I still can't do anything else.

No. Theres NO optical drive. A bit disappointing. I picked up an external for 30 bucks that was also blu ray.

Yes. It comes with software to play blu ray discs on a PC. It does NOT come with any for Mac.

No, it has a DVD SuperMulti drive. It will play DVDs, but not Blu-ray discs.

It cannot play bluray movies without additional software such as PowerDVD - $50. It burns regular DVDs and CDs with free software such as ImgBurn.

Yes, Blu-Rays can be used for any data that can be stored on a CD or DVD.I didn't see the rest of the question until I answered. You DO need a Blu-Ray burner. They have become very affordable in the last coupla years.

It is NOT a blu-ray burner. It can only read Blu-ray disks per the specs on LG's site. It can however burn CD's and DVD's.

Good question. I am running Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro and have had no problems burning and accessing Blu-ray disks with this drive. I have not installed any 3rd party software to allow this to occur.

Don't know. I couldn't get the software to work on my Windows 7 system (which is up to date.) I had to download 3rd party software to get it to play Blu-Rays.

I used an "ASUS" Blu-Ray Burner combined with "DVDFAB" Blu-Ray burning software. It is a great way to back up the Blu-Ray movies you buy so your original won't get damaged by your kids, pets or grand kids.
