Hello! I bought this Nero2014 for the very same reason. Out of the box, I was able to play Blu-Ray movies, however, after a software update, this ability was stripped away! I contacted Nero, and after much delayed email support, they emailed me diagnostics software to run. The diagnostic software created a file to email back to them for troubleshooting. They responded back to me that my graphics card is no longer supported. I have an HP Envy 27" that I bought in April 2014, with both an integrated Intel graphics card and NVIDIA graphics card. The system automatically switches based on graphics need. Externally, I have an Optiarc (Sony, the inventor of Blu-Ray) BD-RW drive connected via USB.

For one thing that I discovered a bit too late is that the DVD -R are hit an miss. A lot of people have had success with them, and I and a number of others haven't. I bought a package of 100 dics and not one works. I can store to them, some of them, but later can not access them on two different laptops including the one I used to burn to. I am now using the +R without issues, so far on the same laptops, which are ACER Aspire's: one running Vista and the other running WIN 7.

Don't know if their software is Win8 compatible. Their CD did not contain the advertised software. When I inquired about it, they sent me on a wild goose chase over the internet for generic software. I got fed up and returned the item. I purchased another equivalent from Neewer.

What software is supplied with this later model? The Nero software I got with was Nero and it simply didn't work, so returned the drive unit for refund.

It works GREAT with Windows 8. I use the lightscribe program to burn the cover and Nero to burn data. The computer recognizes the drive. Highly recommend.

It works fine for me with Windows 8. The worst part for me was updating the software that came with it.

I purchased NERO over the net. I used the download method. What instructions I have are in English but, NERO comes from Germany and, I think the translation is lacking somewhat? I personally, am very disappointed with NERO 12. I wanted to edit single video frames and, I still haven't figured out how to do that? NERO keeps wanting to change my videos into some kind of NERO video. Videos take a lot of memory and, this process doubles the memory needed. And, the bottom line is that I still can't edit video like I want to. I used to have NERO 6 on my old HP but, that computer is around twenty years old and, doesn't even have a single gig of RAM so, NERO quit working a few years ago. NERO 6 used to allow me to edit a single frame of video and, print it out as a jpeg. That is why I bought NERO 12 but, I can't seem to get NERO 12 to do what NERO 6 used to do. I seen a lot of translations for NERO 12 but, the bottom line is "buyer be ware". I would suggest trying the free trial program before you finally decide to buy.

Not with the software that comes with it. Stay away from Nero products, they have problems on my Win 8.1 iCore 7 desktop.
