    The item feels very cheap and like it could break. After multiple attempts (and wasting several discs) I was unable to successfully burn a DVD. I ultimately returned this item.

    I had to download a file and it kept popping up. I kept downloading it and following the steps but it would restart the whole process. Once I finally got it, it would not play any DVD. Sadly, I past the return time frame so I’m such with this thing!! Waste of money.
