Q: QuestionWould this device work with the MacBook Pro 13' with Touch Bar, I believe the MacBook I am getting was made in 2019 and I want to be able to watch modern family on laptop.

Asked 5 years ago by Compatabilty.

• A:Answer I use this drive on a MacBook Pro 16" (2019) with touch bar. The computer has USB-C ports, but the USB-C cable did not work with the drive. Using two ports did not work either. I had to use a USB hub to make the drive work. I use the USB-A cable from the drive to the USB hub, then the hub into a USB-C port on computer with an adapter. Not a good solution, but the only way I could get it to work.

Q: QuestionThe DVD writer came in today. Another answer said DVD's can be watched on a PC with a USB interface. Exactly how does one watch a DVD on a PC? I cannot figure it out at all. It wants me to install it. No option just to watch.

Asked 5 years ago by kenneth.

• A:Answer You need a video app on computer that can play dvds. I’m sure default dvd app that comes with OS should be able to play it. Try opening the app and having in running while you install dvd.
