A:AnswerThe LG - 8x External USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Disc Rewriter - Black
Model # BP50NB40, does not have enough storage capacity or a hard drive to record a TV documentary. You will need a DVR recorder for that...^Ivan.
A:AnswerHighly unlikely. Sony wants PS5 users to buy a Sony PS5 drive for optical drives. There's most likely some proprietary handshaking that goes on between the console and the external drive to read PS5 discs.
A:Answer4K Blu-ray in general is near impossible especially for playback in consumer players. You're better off ripping the disc using this drive then storing it on a media server. Problem is 4K rips are huge unless you compress them more then what's the point. Have over 150TBs in storage here and I have filled over 2/3s with my 4K and Blu-ray library. Pricey but worth it for not having to find a disc on the shelf.
A:AnswerIf you have a file on a DVR system that's attached to a computer possibly but there are DRM restrictions that you may cause problems trying to play it back on other hardware. It's not that easy to transverse files from one media to another for playback especially for things captured from modern digital TV signals.
A:AnswerHi there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your inquiry regarding the SP80NB80 not detecting Blu-ray discs. To assist with this, we recommend ensuring your firmware is up-to-date and trying a laser lens cleaner, as this can often resolve playback issues specific to one disc format.

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:AnswerOnly if the files are recorded in 16bit/44.1kHz. Highly unlikely since most Blu-ray audio is 16bit/48kHz minimum. You could use a tool like ffmpeg or something similar to rebuild it at the compatible samplerate then burn it but its not as simple as just burning the files onto a CD.
A:AnswerA Blu-ray Drive Install Disc for Windows, Media Espresso, Power 2 Go, Power DVD, Power Producer are included with the LG 8x External USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Disc Rewriter - Black, Model # BP50NB40...^Ivan.

A:AnswerThank you for pointing out that entry error in the specifications for the LG - 8x External USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Disc Rewriter - Black, Model # BP50NB40.
We will alert Best Buy and have them correct it.

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:AnswerCD-R is in its wheel house but if you're only doing CDs they are far less expensive options out there. I only recommend something at this level if someone is interested in making the drive LibreEnabled for ripping Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray to their own personal media servers.
