  • QuestionIs this compatible with Crome books?

    Asked by Billy.

    • Answer Hi, you can't play movie DVDs on Chromebook. You can use the connected DVD drive to access or read files from an appropriately formatted, recorded, and finalized DVD-R. Chrome OS does not support optical disks to let you play music or movies. The primary reason for this is that Chrome OS doesn’t come with codecs. Codecs are necessary to compress and decompress large files like DVD videos. ^Vanessa

  • Questiondoes it work with chromebook

    Asked by serena.

    • Answer Hi Serena. You will need to contact the manufacturer for your Chromebook to inquire if is compatible with external DVD Optical Drives. It is possible to connect the LG 24x Write/24x Rewrite/24x Read CD - 8x Write DVD External USB 2.0 DVD-Writer Drive - Multi, Model # GP60NB50 but there are limitations. You currently cannot watch DVD movies by default in Chrome OS. Unlike simple movie file formats that you might find online, playback of DVD Video requires special decoding software and codecs to work. Google has not licensed this software and included it with Chrome OS. A Chromebook will read the contents with no problem at all but there are some major limitations to using a Chromebook external DVD or CD drive. External devices are limited as to storage of readable files, and music files are not, without drivers, which cannot be installed on a Chromebook. Chrome OS can read files on these disks if they are a supported file formats such as • CD • CD-RW • DVD • DVD-RW This means you can easily open image or audio files in ChromeOS from files on a CD or DVD. However, Chrome OS does not support optical disks to let you play music or movies. The primary reason for this is that Chrome OS doesn’t come with codecs. Codecs are necessary to compress and decompress large files like DVD videos. If you want to play DVDs on your Chromebook, you’ll need to install Linux. You can connect a CD or DVD player on a Chromebook and use it read data files if you have a disk written in data format mentioned above. You cannot play an audio CD or a movie on a DVD and you cannot write anything to a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk...^IFV
