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.

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.

Works great for me. I'm using Macgo blu ray software. Not sure if there are other programs that will give you blu ray functionality. I googled blu ray on Mac, and that's the first program I saw.

use free software IMGBurn - just need to learn a bit but it's the best and it can write to dual layer [i use imgburn to specifically write dual layer single sided DVDs[DVD9]Nero is crappy if you use substandard discs but imgburn is the best - only your writer needs to be perfect to get the job done rest leave it to imgburn

Do the specs of the Blu-ray match the specs of the burner/player?Is this is bought movie ; does it work with other Blu-ray movies?

Huh! Figure! I never expected it to work in such a dated player, but indeed my dozen or so JPG's burned on to a CDRW (just to answer your question) did in fact display on this unit. That's the only format I tested as it's the only one you mentioned.

I have no idea what version the discs are. I use an LG Blu-ray burner..no problem!Have burned double layer as well without any difficulty on my Mac.

Going along with what Japan-express' answer....that sounds about right. What will help to use any blank discs is to UPDATE the Firmware on your Burner - you can use a FREE program such as Imgburn to set the burn speed of your drive, that will make a big difference so you have a good disc. Your burner/software may allow you to burn at a higher speed, but that can result in a failed disc, so keep that in mind. Imgburn will also tell you who the real Manufacturer of the blank discs are regardless of the name Brand.

did you find a way to get it to work, cuz when i asked samsung they said 3-d ready doesnt mean 3-d blu ray?--- i asked and thats what i got i want to get a 3d blu ray player and i already have the ir emitter and glasses that works through the computer but only with pics, small clips and games, and dvds-- but have to download a bunch of crap to make it work. let me know if the starter kit and player works?

I get 300 of those discs and already used more than 100 without any problem. I am using a LG burner.

I use this model mainly for DVDs. It is quiet and fast. I have burned 25Gb blu-ray discs but not of the M-disc type. LGs says it supports M-disc.

I have not tried burning Blu-ray it burned other media, for me it's the shitty software that comes with it

Well..... I personally have a LG for a burner and it only plays and burns blue rays.to answer you first question "yes" it can if the player and the program let you, go with your gut feeling. If you have a choice in mind in which burner to choose then you must all ready know what to pick for you choice. just keep in mind that not all of the are not the same

That is very odd. I have a Pioneer internal Blu-ray burner...these are the only discs I have used with it (the 6x) and they have been great...never had a problem with them.

I can only comment based on my experience of over 10 years and thousands of DVD-Rs and DVD+R DL; some optical drive burners have problems burning to certain manufacturers' blank discs. My Plextor won't even recognize the presence of TDK brand discs. The LG Blu-ray burner will burn to Optimum DVD+DL discs but the results are always questionable; during playback the player can't find the second layer. I quit using Optimum brand discs as a result. And I've had DVD burners that worked like a champ for three or four years that suddenly started screwing up requiring their replacement. Nothing electronic works forever. Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer to your problem.

I use my LG Portable Super Multi Drive GP08 with Windows 8.1 and also use lightscribe to burn labels. It is slightly slower via USB than my internal Blu-Ray burner, but works well just the same.I use Power2Go and LabelPrint to burn the disk and labels.
