A:AnswerYes it will ! Exactly what we have for a laptop. We used a scanner and scanned our photos in and then transferred onto the discs with this. We made copies for the whole family. We also looked at the Apple one and chose this one as way less money and same high quality.
A:AnswerYour camera footage would need to be saved onto your compatible laptop or desktop computer. Once the files are on your computer they are able to be saved on a CD-RW or DVD-RW. ^CP
A:AnswerHi Gary. The LG - 8x External Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW SuperMulti Blade Drive - Silver, Model # AP70NS50 works just like a built-in DVD optical drive in any Laptop works. The only difference is that one is external and the other is internal. If you have a Windows Media Player on your laptop, simply insert a music cd into the AP80NS50 and click the Rip CD button. Windows Media Player in Windows 10 can copy your CDs to your PC as MP3 files, the industry standard for digital music. But until you tell the player that you want MP3 files, it creates WMA files which is a format that won’t play on iPads, most smartphones, nor many other music players...^IFV
A:AnswerWorked fine on my Windows 10 laptop right out of the box. Comes with a DVD to install some editing software but you should not have any issues with this device on your equipment.
A:AnswerHi, no this device won’t play the cds on your trip. This device creates new cds, for example creating a cd of your favorite iPhone mix onto a cd.
A:AnswerSo long as the music is not protected you should have no problem burning it to disc with this unit. I have not burned music using this drive but I will note that I found the drive on the slow side but, for the money I paid for it, it served my purpose. If you want to burn a lot of music files you may want to look for a faster drive.
A:AnswerThe LG - 8x External Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW SuperMulti Blade Drive - Silver
Model # AP70NS50 is designed primarily as a PC and Mac optical drive. It is not officially supported for use with Android phones because the drive lacks the mobile firmware, specific file management apps, and the required cable interfaces.
The drive draws more power than an Android phone's USB port can output. You would need to power it using an external power bank or a powered USB hub.
The companion apps (such as Disc Link Platinum) are only supported on select specialized mobile-compatible drives, not on standard PC models like the AP70NS50.
Even if you supply external power and connect via a USB On-The-Go (OTG) adapter, the phone's operating system will likely not recognize the DVD/CD file structure without proper driver support...^Ivan.
A:AnswerThe LG - 8x External Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW SuperMulti Blade Drive - Silver
Model # AP70NS50 is simply a hardware reader; it acts as a plug-and-play disc drive, meaning it doesn't have built-in software or a CPU to process and convert audio files on its own. You will need external ripping software to convert CD audio tracks into WAV files, or to other high-quality files...^Ivan.
A:AnswerHello, there! Thank you for sharing your question to us about the LG External Driver (AP70NS50). No, the AP70NS50 is designed as a portable external DVD and CD reader/writer, supporting formats like DVD±R, DVD±RW, and M‑DISC archival media. It does not include Blu‑ray capabilities, so Blu‑ray discs cannot be read or written with this model.

A:AnswerThe LG 8x External Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW SuperMulti Blade Drive - Silver, Model # AP70NS50, is fully plug-and-play. It is a USB-powered, external drive that requires no additional power cords and typically needs no special drivers to operate on Windows (including 10 and 11) or Mac OS.
While the hardware itself is plug-and-play, you will need to have or download media player software to play movie DVDs or audio CDs, and burning software to write files to a disc...^Ivan.
A:AnswerAs indicated in its header, the LG 8x External Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW SuperMulti Blade Drive - Silver, Model # AP70NS50, is a DVD drive. IT cannot play Blu-ray discs.
4K Blu-ray UHD, Blu-ray DVD, and DVD technologies are backward compatible, meaning they will play the technologies that preceded them; they are NOT forward compatible, so a DVD drive cannot play Blu-ray discs, which is a technology that succeeded DVD technology...^Ivan.
