Since the new MacBook Pro models do not come with disk drives, this has worked really well as a replacement. use it primarily for watching DVDs and burning music CD's and it is an excellent tool for both purposes. When you open the tray and put in or take out a disk, the tray doesn't extend far enough so that the entire disk is beyond the player's viewing area. I took off a star for this reason. Putting in the disk involves tilting it at an angle and then snapping it into place. However, you should be careful not to scratch the disk. hard, but it seems like it could have been avoided quite easily if you were willing to do some work.
The unit I purchased in June has only been used three times over the past two months, despite being twice as old as I am. It looks like the third use My disc drive opens and accepts the disc, but after the disc is inserted I hear the disc spin up and jerk back around, spin up and jerk back around, until the disc stops eventually and it is ejected. As a result, a 300 error code is displayed. I have experienced this with multiple dvd's of different condition, and the result has been the same every time. Unfortunately, I am outside of Amazon's return policy so I'll have to chalk it up to a The reason I don't care for LG products is that I am a fan of their products and wouldn't normally be swayed by a negative review. However, next time I will think twice before buying one.
Once I hooked this up to my computer, I was good to go! With this little external device, I can now play CDs and watch DVDs on my computer. But why do I only rate it 4 stars? As I am on my third external drive, I can at least count on it to last some time since my previous ones wear out or stop working. I find that it lasts for less than a year, then I start having problems. I wouldn't expect to pay more than $20 here, even though it is closer to $30. accomplishes what it set out to do, but does not last overly long.
On my HP spectre running Windows 10, this software works just fine. Luckily, I have a USB hub plugged into my laptop so I can connect the dvd. It should be noted that buying this drive alone will not allow you to play DVDs automatically. For you to be able to view DVDs, you'll still need to download free software. The software can be found by searching online.
When I was unable to use my internal DVD burner on my desktop, I still needed a way to read and write some CDs. It might seem unnecessary to replace the internal DVD burner, but there are many reasons to do so. Because there is nothing fundamentally wrong with it, it is fine. There is a long, complicated story to tell. Let's ignore that and talk about the burner instead. All the device needs is a single USB slot, but if your USB slot can supply enough power to it, then it can work, as mine does. One USB cable has pigtails attached to it so that you can connect it to the other. While these are available on some portable devices, it does not mean they are always required. My only wish for the USB cable was that it was a The bird only measures about 2 feet in length. A mini-sized computer On the device end, there is a USB port.
Next, it displays its information from a tray instead of a slot. As far as slot-load devices go, I've never cared much about them. This is just like a laptop tray where you snap the disc into it, which is understandable since this is such a slim device. In terms of burn times, my internal burner is on par with something like this This is about three gigabytes in about ten minutes. If I include the verification step, which generally is a good idea, the time might be about two hours. You can use it as a DVD player for your TV if you want to get it Don't do it! There is no reason for it to be used for that. The device is designed to be used with a computer, not a television. I am sure that it will work with some TVs, but that doesn't mean that it will work with them all. When choosing a mini DVD player for your TV, be sure to pick one that's specifically designed for that use. As LG lists it as "TV Connectivity", that's a bit misleading since it is just a USB device. I'm sure it will work with most LG TVs, but I can't access the ports on my old LG LCD TV to check whether it works. does not work on my Samsung, but that is not due to the burner so much as it is due to the TV. Please do not Furthermore, I would like to request that people stop giving it a poor review because the "installation CD" is missing and drivers cannot be found for the device. Drivers Are Not Required For This Device! It is simply a plug-and-play device. " Enjoy the game. "The installation CD" is required for installing Cyberlink's free software, which is completely optional. It is unlikely that you are having problems with this because you don't have the right back in Windows95, I never saw an optical drive that needed a driver to work, not to mention a USB drive. When you're using Mac or Linux or Windows XP and later, it won't take long to install Enjoy the game. When it comes to Cyberlink software, it is very good. Due to this, I have seen people knock off stars. For people who need that kind of software, Cyberlink offers it. the software cannot be run for any reason, try to contact them and explain the problem. You should rate the product and not the optional software. LG's fault or the drives' fault is what you should rate.
It has never occurred to me that I would so desperately want to give a zero star review. What a horrible thing this is. There are many CDs or audiobooks on CDs that it cannot read the last track of. In trying to import a CD onto my MP3 player, it always would get stuck trying to read the last track and make an annoying sound that would not cease until the damn thing was unplugged. As long as it stops working completely, that is the only good it has done It is now possible to buy an effective product! It is strongly recommended to steer clear of this hunk of crap.
