Samsung USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive SE-S084D: What is the Nero software suite for?
1171071
Nero software is for Windows users, not us Mac folk. Also, the description on Amazon's page says the drive is LightScribe equipped. After two days of trying to make it work, Samsung replied to an enquiry of mine saying, "Unfortunately enough I need to inform you that our SE-S084D model does not come with a integrated lightscribe labeling function.". Other than that (and buying thirty bucks' worth of LightScribe CDs and DVDs) the unit is light small, cheap, and it works fine with my MBA.

If you only want to use the Samsung as an external drive you should not need any software for it to work on a Mac. I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.8 and my internal Matshita drive quit working. I unpacked the new Samsung Optical Drive SE-B18AB/RSSD and connected it to my laptop using the included USB cable. I inserted my TurboTax install disk in the drive slot and the install process started immediately. No additional software or setup was needed to use the drive on my MacBook Pro. Now, if you are wanting to use the drive to burn a cd or dvd with data or movies you will need software to do so. My MacBook came with iDVD and iMovie in the Applications folder, but I have not attempted to use either one. There are also 3rd party applications available, but I have no experience with them either. I hope this helps answer your question.

I had to buy an external hard drive with a CD/DVD, storage, and burn ability. I use the latest Word, Power point, and data program; they work very well and fast. I am very satisfied.

It is hard to answer this question directly since you are asking if you need something that does not and cannot exist. 'RCA' refers to a type of connector while 'USB' refers to a type of hardware-software interface. What you need is a device that converts audio and video to the USB standard required by VHS to DVD. I use a Honestech VIDBOX and I have always assumed that this was proprietary on the USB-software side although I realize now that I am not sure about this. Anyway, I would not attempt to use this software with anything other than a VIDBOX or some similar device that claims compatibility with the VHS to DVD software.

This is a desktop optical drive. Buy a external usb dvd drive if you want something external.

It all depends on what you're going to do. I've used the Power2Go program to make data discs (DVD and Blu-ray), but I mostly use Nero 2014 Platinum for everything else. I guess it's an alright program if you're not going to do anything complicated.

HI Clarence I bought this for my DVD drive. It is a Samsung SE-506BB/TSBD 6X USB2.0 External Slim Blu-ray Writer Drive (Black). So if you look that one up (just copy/paste the product because I bought it on here so you will be able to find it), it might give you an idea, size-wise. It fit mine great with room to spare for the cord, etc. and it is very nice quality. Hope this helps. Cheryl

I purchased an external burner...a Lenova....works very well...and it is relatively inexpensive...you will not be able to use a regular cd/dvd burner...you have to use a burner made for lightscribe...good luck

No, it does not. I recommend buying an external player such as this one: Samsung USB 2.0 Ultra Portable External DVD Writer Model SE-218CB/RSBS

I don't know about a DVD drive, but I have attached my external hard drive with no fuss at all. It treats it like a memory card. I would worry about a DVD drive, though, needing an extra driver or two.

patricia, here is the overview fro the manual, jps701u is a 1-1 standalone and usb link duplicator controller supporting high speed dvd writers.simply through the lcd ans 4buttons on the panel,you can copy data audioor vidio, cd/dvd easily and quickly. it is fit for a company to do a small amount of production. usually if you want to back up lots of discs, you have to boot the computer and do the job via burning program. it takes time to learn how to use the software and more time to execute the copying. you can use this unit as a standalone devise. besides,jps701 has a usb link (optional) you can connect to a computer too, but be sure that it must be usb2.0 thus jps701u will become an external writer for the computer.

Hi One Builder, I have had every generation of these WD units and I have not seen that option you are asking about. I know exactly what you meen. If you had a ripped standard dvd in a folder with a VIDEO_TS & AUDIO_TS folder the machine will automatically cycle through the 0.99GB .VOB movie files in order without any pause. You can do some other little tweaks like when browsing the video movie files, the unit gets the case artwork and movie plot,cast and when you highlight a film the background will randomly transition through very High Quality Wallpapers for that film but the cast names you can add your name,etc.. Once the WDTV unit writes a few folders on any inserted usb storage you can remove the storage device and take a look at the factory written folders in the root of your device from a computer or even an android tablet or smartphone with OTG USB port capabilities, if you know LINUX OS you can make things happen with some notepad code. There are a couple forums with custom launchers, so replace the factory firmware, I only see what you are looking to do being added as a feature with a launcher by a code writing individual or you may get lucky and request this add-on in the forums and someone writes new code and releases a new firmware update with the feature. I Like Your Idea Though.

I use Roxio Creator 2012 Pro but have also used Nero 9. I use a LG WH12LS39 Blu Ray Player/Recorder. I have also Corel Movie Factory 7, but have yet to make a disc with it. Hope this helps

I didn't use the software, but I had to use the mini disc to find the driver for this cable. It tells you on the outside of the disc what driver to use.

No software is required to run this drive. you need software to burn cds ex. nero, roxio

Andy,I used some SW called Sonic to format a DVR+R disc and copied/burned a few Xvid (.avi) files to it. But the 5960 was not able to read/load the files. What went wrong? How did you burn files to DVD+R disc?Thanks,Vicne
