A:AnswerIt depends on the connectivity options you have on the laptop. The cable that it comes with has the end the plugs into the drive and the other end is requires 2 USB A ports. If you don't have 2 USB A ports on your laptop you may have to use a USB hub, potentially a powered HUB to get it to work. I've used it with an older Dell laptop running windows 10 that has multiple USBA ports and it's worked great.

A:AnswerThe LG 8x External USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Disc Rewriter - Black
Model # BP50NB40, will write (burn) to DVD+R (DL), DVD+R (SL), DVD+RW, BD-R (LTH), BD-R (SL), BD+R (TL), BD-R (DL), BD-R (QL), BD-RE (SL/DL/TL), CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R (DL), DVD-R (SL), DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, M-Disc BD (BD-R SL), and M-Disc DVD (DVD+R SL) discs.
Depending on the type of car stereo you have, some car stereos, especially newer models, may have a DVD player built-in, which can play music from DVD-Rs. However, these stereos are relatively rare, and most car stereos are designed to play CDs or digital music from auxiliary inputs.
If you have a car stereo that can play MP3 files from a CD or USB drive, you can burn MP3 files onto a DVD-R and play them in your car, but with some limitations.
Some car stereos may be able to play MP3 files from a DVD-R, but the compatibility may vary depending on the stereo and the DVD-R. Additionally, the DVD-R may need to be formatted in a specific way to be compatible with your car stereo. You can burn MP# files on CD-RW discs and play those in your car if it compatible with your car stereo.
There are many software programs available that can help you burn music onto a DVD-R., but b
efore you start burning your music files onto a DVD-R, make sure they are in a compatible format. Most DVD-Rs can play MP3 files, but you may need to convert your files to MP3 format if they are in a different format.
Create a playlist of the music files you want to burn onto the DVD-R. You can do this using your software program or by creating a folder with all the music files.
Insert a blank DVD-Ror CD-RW into the BP50NB40, and follow the instructions in your software program you use to burn the music files onto the DVD-R or CD-RW.
If you have a car DVD player or that supports DVD-R playback, it may not support all types of audio formats, so you may need to burn your music in a different format, such as WAV or AAC, for it to be compatible with your car’s DVD player or CD Player...^Ivan.

A:AnswerHi, Amber. Thanks for reaching out and sharing your question about the LG Blu-ray Disc (BP50NB40) model. We’re glad to help clarify this for you. Yes, you can select the burn speed with the BP50NB40 external writer, depending on your burning software. Most programs allow you to set the write speed before starting. We suggest using LG’s bundled software or compatible ones like Nero or Power2Go for speed selection.
For optimal performance and to prevent errors, choose a moderate speed instead of the maximum, especially for audio CDs or important data. If you need more help, message us on social media @LGUSSupport, and we’ll gladly assist you. ^Juvy

A:AnswerMusic will be copied, yes, and it will extract the metadata necessary for the software you use to rip that data, to retrieve song titles, and artwork. Those two elements are not stored on the cd but retrieved by such software.
To be fair, most software can do that, if you have Windows, for example, the Windows Media Player will do it.
A:AnswerYes and no. You can use this to rip bluray videos, but it's your software the one that makes the conversion to MP4. So, if you have the proper software, this unit will do.
