Is it a stand alone software for movies?

This is stand alone software to edit video. You can make movies with it. You cannot burn dvds with it.

I'm pretty certain it does. I used to plug an external hard drive into it and play movies from there but I don't really remember what types of files they were. It should say in the manual somewhere though, and usually those manuals are available online for free.

No, you have to buy it separate. Plus there is no video software, so if you want to play a video, you must buy software.

No, it is extreme limited to the software that comes with it and I would not recommend it!

I comes with a license for the Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13. In the previous versions it was called Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum but in this version they dropped the "Vegas". This is pretty decent editing software.

Never used it so I can't answer. I know it's a $150-$170 software if you buy it individually. See if you can download the trial and give it a try.

It is, but the package is a month trial. After that you will have to install your own software package

There is no software. Its plug and play. You can use window OS to burn to and read your non-movie blu-rays. If you are talking about a Blu-Ray ripper software for movies, make sure it can remove/handle the security stuff otherwise it won't copy it and you could have playing problems if your monitor doesn't support security stuff.

This is video editing software (a good one) but it does not offer 1-click solution (at least I am not aware of it nor I was ever looking for it) that can import from your device and burn to disc.If you just want to burn your raw films on DVD any burning software would do the job.You need this one (Movie Studio) if you want to edit video before burning.

Yes, you'll need to use it in conjunction with VCDS-lite. There is a freeware version and a paid version.

I watch movies regularly. It creates icons on your desktop and in your file explorer that allow you to treat it just like a local drive. You can't watch movies through the backup interface though.

It does not come with software to play movies. Software to play blu-ray movies is not free, so you'll have to buy that elsewhere. There are several products on the market. Reading a data disc does not require software and that'll work through Windows/Linux/whatever without any additional software. So if you're using this for data discs then you'll be fine. (To be fair, VLC can play Blu-ray movies and is free, but it requires installing a 3rd party addon and if you have to ask the question then you probably won't be successful doing it. So just expect that you'll need to buy software to play movies.)

It does, but you have to install software to access it. I installed Nexus Media Importer. Works fine, but I've had some trouble with a couple of movies. Maybe my movies that is the issue.

No special software needed. Plays back and videos can be edited on most available desktop players, ie Windows, RealPlayer, etc.

I do not think so. The software seems to be proprietary and honestly the processor is not that powerful (your cell phone's CPU is more powerful). Not to mention a normal movie is about 5GB in size, I do not think this has nearly enough storage space.

Yes if you're using USB 3.0. Movies will play on USB 2.0 but will be clunky instead of smooth animation.
