Product Description

The World's Smallest and Lightest Blu Ray Player - This 4K Ultra HD optical drive and burner supports BDXL and M-Disc and is the world's smallest and lightest player supporting BD/DVD/CD. Introducing USB 3.0, the ultra-compact USB device. The Blu-ray player can read and write to all BDXL discs (BD-R triple layer 100GB media, BD-R quad layer 128GB media, and BD-RE triple layer 100GB media) and Blu-ray discs as well. A mere eight ounces, it is small and light. A Pioneer burner takes just 1oz of power and can be directly connected to a USB port (without an AC adapter).
With Cyberlink software, you can playback content in high-définition, even if it is in standard definition. In PowerDirector LE, you have the ability to import your home videos for editing before uploading them to social websites. You can burn your valuable files to Blu-ray (including triple and quad layer BDXL discs), DVD or CD media with Power2Go 8. This software only works on Windows. It is possible to purchase Mac OS Software
PowerRead, Auto Quiet, and PureRead3+ for Smart Sound & Display - Features power reading, auto quiet, and a combination of both. With PowerRead, smoother playback can be achieved with fingerprints and minor surface scratches on a disc. In Auto Quiet mode, the disc rotation speed is automatically lowered to reduce noise (best for streaming movies, recording music, and listening to podcasts). As far as PureRead3+ is concerned, the drive automatically tweaks the parameters to minimize speakers' sound glitches.
Dedicated Storage & Faster Speeds - Compared to the 50GB Dual Layer Blu-ray disc, your electronics device provides you with up to 156% more data storage space. As much data can be stored on one BD-R DL disc as on ten DVDs (single layer). The same amount of data can be stored on one QL disc as on 27 DVDs (single layer). Six layer dual layer discs and single layer BD-R discs are able to be written. On BD-R discs with triple- and quad-layers, writing is four times as fast.
The bundle includes the Pioneer BDR-XD07UHD Blu-ray burner, instructions, CyberLink Media Suite 10 beta key, USB cable, warranty card, and a premium carry case to ensure that your new external drive stays in good condition and is portable.

Questions & Answers

Can this be used with a laptop that does not have a DVD drive? Do previous drivers have to be installed for the device to be recognized?

Blue ray / DVD works perfectly for my notebook that does not include a hard drive. It takes no time to install the software based on the instructions provided when installing (Win 10). I love the travel case. It's really nice to have a case that works flawlessly.

What type of software will this drivet require on Mac Big Sur, and how much is it expected to cost?

It appears that Pioneer sells its Mac software separately through Amazon, you may need to reach out directly to Pioneer. You can also choose a device that is set up to work with a Mac. Windows is the only operating system I'm using, I only want to play media I want, and I want it to be There was a plug attached to it My laptop does not have a player, so it's a plug-and-play experience for me. I found it to be very useful. Firstly, you need to figure out if the device is compatible with the operating system you want to use it with. It would be a good idea for me to look for Mac Once you know what matters to you, pick what best meets those needs.

Is it possible to purchase a protection plan for this item (similar to the 4 year plan offered by Asurion)?

Your purchase choice will be determined by where you buy it. I don't think its features are worth the price of its software subscription to operate and use.

Selected User Reviews For Pioneer BDR-XD07UHD 4K Blu-Ray Portable Burner & DVD Player - 6X Slim External BDXL, BD, DVD & CD Drive for Windows & Mac w/ 3.0 USB, CD Player, Write & Read on Laptop or Desktop w/ Carry Case (Black)

The result will be positive
3/5

This would be all it would be able to play (aside from DVDs). In reality, '4K Ready' actually means that the drive is equipped with an incredibly restricted copy protection system that only allows it to play 4K UHD discs if it is connected to a computer with an equivalently copy protected graphics processor. For the moment, Intel is the sole provider of onboard support This is the picture of the motherboard. Therefore, if you have a discrete graphics card from any of the above manufacturers, you will not be able to play UHD. Conversely, most pre-owned vehicles are in good condition blu-ray players that are "4K Ready" are actually capable of playing UHD films with the right software modifications and support.

There is an outdated version of the included software
3/5

In order to play Blueray DVDs on my PC, I purchased this drive with software. This drive seems to be a good one. It took a very long time to download the included software and it would not play Blueray discs. It is rather $60 that has to be upgraded. Unlike the previous Pioneer drive I bought this week earlier this week, the optical drive driver does autoload and appears to work fine. The drive I ordered earlier this week was no longer supported by the manufacturer. This is one of the few times I will head to a local electronics store rather than.

Works with Mac OS X, but not with Mac OS X This drive stopped working after I updated my Mac to OS Catalina
3/5

Pioneer acknowledges the Catalina issue on their website and says they are working on a software fix to resolve it. A software fix for this issue cannot be found anywhere. I couldn't get my product to work again after a software update because of poor support. Due to the fact that the return window has since passed, it means I must pay for the trash bin.

Make sure you read the fine print
5/5

You can get away with it if you don't need to play 4kUHD content. Currently, fewer and fewer computers out there are able to use this drive to its full potential because of the idiotic Intel specs. As in my case I should have tried harder to be more diligent, let the buyer beware.

A portable Blue-ray player that works well A writer and player of Blu-ray discs
5/5

I like the case as an added bonus. My new Pioneer Blu-ray player arrived today An optical disc player/writer that can burn Blue-ray discs I have a collection of videos I have shot on Blu-ray discs. So far, I have only made a single Although it was a 21 G disk, it did a good job recording an hour's worth of video I shot in 4K (I had to purchase a 50 G format). It turns out that not all computers can play Blue-ray Several blu-ray discs are available for purchase. I have no problems with it on my laptop, but I don't have any problems on As for the software that comes with the player, I have not used it. Cyberlink PowerDVD20 is the program I use to play Blue-ray You will need Rayrs and Cyberlink Power2Go 13 to burn the discs.

The best portable 4K UHD player out there has a Blu-ray player as well It's time to dig out the blu-ray player! I recommend it especially for anyone looking for a portable 4K UHD player You can play blu-ray on your computer
5/5

It is very small and portable, and it is also very quiet. If you plan to watch Bluray on your PC, you’ll need a player that supports it The ray's have been removed from Windows 10, as it does not have A Blu-ray player is included as well A layer of). This is a great option if you want to play 4K movies on your laptop or PC and especially if you want to record Blu-ray movies A ray.

The ability to share content between my MAC and PC is a great addition
5/5

Using this DVD player / blue-ray player, you can move around with ease I use my laptop PC and my Macbook together with the ray reader / writer. My computer and my laptop don't have optical drives any longer, so this was a great way to keep an optical drive handy. The kit comes with a USB and a USB-C cable You will need a C adapter. The installation package includes the downloadable suite as well as an activation key. After downloading CyberLink Suite 14, rather than downloading CyberLink Suite 10, it told me that it would load CyberLink Suite 14. To upgrade to CyberLink Suite 19, there is a fee, but I am not sure if it will be necessary for what I am doing. It also comes with a handy carrying case. This slim and light bag is easy to carry.

My favorite part is the ending
5/5

My favorite part is the portability. It seems to work extremely well. It has a few incompatibilities with included software. So many new PCs don't come with optical drives anymore, which I think is kind of old-fashioned (and kind of stupid too), but I still buy physical media like CDs, DVDs, Blue Rays. A PC without an optical drive will benefit from this.
