QuestionI bought this Blu-ray writer for my ASUS laptop. It plays DVD discs but not Blu-ray. Apparently my laptop doesn't have a graphics card. Is that normal?
Asked 7 years ago by jascarlson.
- Answer Several laptops do not have a dedicated gpu card and instead use the onboard processor for video. Note that if you want to play BluRays you need to install the included software. This is because windows does not have a native BluRay decoder enabled media player.

QuestionSo, this might be a dumb question but will this burn a .mov file (like a short film exported from iMovie) onto a Blu-ray Disc?
Asked 7 years ago by Kylie.
- Answer If you want to watch it on a Blu-Ray player, you'll have to use software to convert it to the Blu-Ray file format and create the BR folders and files that your player is expecting. Although the video will probably be compatible, the audio will not be. MOV uses an Apple audio type. If you burn the MOV onto a disk, there's a small chance your player will be able to read it. Your computer should be able to, but as a data file. I just did one of these myself: my wife exported an iMovie project to a MOV file and (on Windows machine) I used MultiAVCHD to convert it to BR format so I could watch it on the BR player attached to my television. If you're working on a Mac, you'll need to find Blu-Ray authoring software for your computer.

QuestionI currently use a Panasonic DMR-EZ48V disc writer to burn cable programs from provider Spectrum/Time Warner. Will this unit allow me to do the same thing from cable? Please note that I do this for my use only, not to resell.
Asked 7 years ago by LesG.
- Answer unlikely, this DVD burner only features a USB connection for both electrical power and data transfer. There are no other connections for cable signal or HDMI inputs, or any other video inputs. I also doubt that it has any internal electronics to support such video signal conversion or.have a data buffer to simultaneously record, convert, and write to DVD at the necessary transfer rates and speeds. The device is portable and not much bigger than a DVD or other optical media, so consider the product dimensions (small and portable) to your Panasonic DMR.

Questioni have the latest version of the macbook pro (M1 chip etc.) will this work with my macbook pro? what is the software needed? lastly are you going to make a external player for apple products anytime soon.
Asked 3 years ago by whodat.
- Answer With disc burners becoming a thing of the past, now that usb sticks are so common, i doubt they will make an apple version, i recommend checking apple website. As for software, i can recommend roxio, or nero software, these work well with the external cd/dvd/bd burner.
