My experience was that with windows 8, you need additional software to play blue rays. It did play CD and DVD though.

Well I don't know how you're burning it but the simplest way to burn it onto a DVD is to simply burn the .MTS file as a Data Disc. Then put the DVD in the PS3 and go to video and scroll down to data disc and play the file or hit the X button on your controller like twice. That's it, No fancy software needed. This also applies to other Blueray Players

It is a Blue Ray burner but I have not burned Blue Ray with it yet! I use it burn CD and light scribing.

Yes. I got this drive specifically for dual layer Blu-Ray discs. I have now burned several single and dual layer discs with verify turned on and have had a 100% success rate!

You know, I am not positive, but I would think so. It is a newer version blue ray burner. Although windows 8 is a new operation I am a thinking it would work OK.

I've been using it a reader for both data and movies and it works out of the box with no drivers needed. You will need software for Blu Ray Movie Playback. I have yet to try burning anything but nothing indicates it can't be done. You may need burning software for it to actually burn discs. I don't know if the built in burning feature in OS X works with BD Rs.

This device will not burn BD-Rom. It will burn DVD/CD and I have have not had any issues reading Blue Ray discs. Hope this helps to answers your question. Also a link to the Asus Website https://www.asus.com/Optical_Drives/BC12B1ST/#overview

It comes with a Blue ray disc combo drive. Cannot burn blue ray dvds onto another blue ray dvd, only read/view them. Blue ray trademark belongs to Sony.

To be able to use the Valuedisc BD-R discs you have to have a blu ray burner, they will not work in a regular dvd burner.

If the unit you got is good and it was installed correctly, then try burning dvds using the mp4 format and cds as regular audio or data cds. This works for me. If these do not work have the unit checked out

Yes it does and CDs as well. But as all players, the BlueRay or DVD to be played has to have the same recording number for the region as the player. Read up on the web about it for more info about recording regions if not sure.

I bought it with a Panasonic UJ260 6x bluray burner sata laptop drive and worked it out perfectly. But remember to have installed in your pc the right software for playing or burning blu-ray discs.

Yes. It will play CDs. Optical drives like this Samsung are ALL backward compatible to older disc formats. If it plays Bluray, it will play DVD and if it plays DVD, it will play CD.**Because they still build all Bluray (blue laser) optical drives with DVD/CD (red lasers) as well

I don't see a blueray logo on mine. I don't think it plays bluerays. however, the DVD drive in laptops are standard, modular, easy to replace and fairly inexpensive so you could swap it out for a blueray player of your choosing.

No you must have a blu-ray burner. Blu-ray burners will burn DVD's, but not the other way around.
