I've used cd & dvd disks in my blue ray recorder to this point but not a chance to use the blue rays.  One thing right out of the box they have room for 50 Gigs.

I'm rather pleased with this little player. It has such a slim profile and works quite well. I've been able to successfully use it as both a DVD reader and DVD writer. When it comes to Blu-ray, however, the problems I've encountered are not with the drive itself. I'm attempting to use the drive with my Mac. Since Blu-ray support isn't natively included in OSX, I've had to use separate software. The software works, however, the hardware on my 6 year old Mac just doesn't seem to be powerful enough to handle the processing required. But that is no fault of the drive. The drive is fantastic!

Haven't burned anything with it but it's working well and playing Blue Rays..after --->>>  Included software <<did not work>>>> for me without paid upgrade.  I hope your experience with that is better if you still decide to get this.

In description it was saying "DVD & Blue Ray". It is does not work for Blue Ray Player - only for DVD. And this is not what I bought it for.
It is a scam !!!

I purchased these to sell some Blu-rays and games. They're perfect for Blu-rays and CDs. I've shipped some PS2 games which are the same size as DVDs and it's a bit of a tight fit.  At any rate, they work great.

The add stated that the item was both blue ray and DVD but it was only a Blue ray addition. Since I did not own a Blue ray player and had to that dant no need for one was not impressed with produce. Still do not know if it works or not. Will give it as a gift to some one soon.

this disk jammed in my blu ray player and ruined it...it appears to be a pirated disc or something.

My blue ray player sounds like it is going to blow up when I put this DVD in it.  I have to put it in the PS3 and it makes noise for about 30 seconds and then it works.

Any time I attempt to play a Blu-Ray it stutters every 2 seconds. I also looked at the driver for it and it turns out that the drivers haven't been updated since 2006. Furthermore, it came with instructions on how to install on Windows 98 which blew my mind. I imagine this was a decent product at one point in time but its time has passed. I suggest looking at newer devices if you're looking to get an external Blu-Ray player.

Does anyone else miss the days when CD/DVD drives used to actually come built into your laptop?  Perhaps that makes me sound old school (as does owning audio cassettes and VCR tapes).  But here's why I still want at least an external CD/DVD drive and burner, as well my thoughts on the Wini product so far.

1) Why a CD/DVD drive or burner:  Back in the day, my compelling need was for ease of transferring information.  You know, after the dinosaurs and floppy disc drives went extinct.  And now, I still own (and sometimes would like to use) my CDs and DVDs.  That is, I'd like to easily access info burned from a prior computer; to listen to music I've bought; to watch an old favorite movie; etc., etc.

2) Initial inspection: This drive is pretty light weight and connects via USB to your laptop.  My cord had a slight blemish/dimple/divot in it, and seemed a little off center coming out of the back of the drive.  But nothing that has affected performance so far.  The drive doesn't appear to have any sort of manual eject button, should any issues arise.  Guess I'll need a plan b, if the drive ever takes one of my discs hostage.

3) First start up: The card enclosed with the drive didn't contain what I would call start-up instructions.  That would have been helpful.  So I pretty much just plugged this drive into my MacBook Pro to see what happened.  And at first, nothing.  No lights, sounds, driver installation, or recognition of the device at all.  Since I couldn't find a power button, I decided to just insert an audio CD in the drive.  And voila, I was ready to rock and roll.

3) Doing its job: I could hear the drive start spinning, and I got my music playing.  The drive wasn't completely silent, but was about what you'd expect to hear. I found that the Wini drive worked best on a flatter surface (not on a slant balanced on my lap).  I later noticed that the product insert warns you to keep the drive flat.  After playing a CD, I moved on to burning one.  The burned CD performed fine in several devices.  I then loaded a DVD (standard, not blue-ray) of a favorite TV show.  The disc played just fine, with less drive noise than with the CD.

I was fortunate to receive this product at a discount in exchange for an honest review, and the thoughts and comments here are 100% my own after trying it.  The Wini external CD/DVD drive and burner does exactly what I need it to and has performed without issue.  Great purchase.

The pic is great and the headrest attachment is great.  For some reason only certain DVDs are playing (regular DVDs not blueray).  So wondering if there is an issue.  Tried some new DVDs and some existing , it will not read certain ones .. old or new :(

HD-DVD of Cecilia & Bryn at Glyndebourne has a serious problem!

Both my 3rd gen Toshiba players show:
 Cannot play the disc.
 Error Code: 408bc00c

deepdiver said the same of the HD-DVD disc on 3-18-08. (I got my 1st disc before him but have been busy and hadn't tried looking at it until 2 weeks ago.) So far, I've now gotten 2 discs of this from Amazon, and they're (Amazon) now (e-mail this morning) insisting that I take a 3rd one!!

I've an A35 and an A3 player, both w/the latest 2.0 firmware. I don't have Die Fledermaus, but I do have other Opus Arte HD-DVD discs (and no problems with them).

Better sound is my main reason for getting HD-DVD and Dolby TrueHD5.1 has been a winner over the 5.1 sound found on regular DVD video. (i.e. DD5.1 and sometimes also DTS5.1)

The only good news is that returning the box back to Amazon doesn't take much time, and only costs a couple pennies of adhesive tape (with reuse of a previously used incoming mailer).  Aggravation is the big downside.

I also HATE that Amazon mixes reviews of HD-DVD together with DVD/VHS reviews, and assume they do the same with Blu-Ray, and wish that they'd at least stop doing that for Blue-Ray.

Did not have any problems with the discs as with other complaints.  Personally, I find if you put in blue ray player you should not have problems with the discs.

I have a 3d blue ray system set up already it plays 2d as well & the high resolution on these discs is amazing very detailed & sound is just perfect.

For the same price (at least when I bought it) you can buy more space on Blu-ray discs than you can on these DVDs, but that's only relevant if you have a Blu-ray drive that can write to Blu-ray discs. If you don't, then this will be good for anybody. Mine was packaged horribly and there were DVDs loose inside the box, hopefully that doesn't happen to everyone, and luckily only one of the DVDs wasn't writeable.

I recently purchased this cake pack of discs.
In my SONY DVD recorder (which receives over the air HD broadcasts) the two discs I've used so far worked fine. I was able to finalize the recordings and play them on my PANASONIC analog DVD recorder.
I've used SONY DVD-RW discs before, these seem similar with repeated use.
