Blu-ray drive for โQuietFunctions the way it really should (When you use diverse computer software) Integrated software (Cyberlink) does not work at all with my pc, just says "Invalid disc format" when I attempt to play a blu-ray disc. Attempted many discs, problem exists on all discs. Installed Totalmedia Theater, and the discs play perfectly. Didn't actually expect software program to come with drive, but I would of offered it one more egg, if I could in fact get it to work.

Receiving a Blu Ray for below 40 dollars is a great deal. Even with black friday offers this deal nevertheless couldn't be beat. With it getting an OEM It is finest that you have every thing you require or know what you are undertaking as it doesn't come with software. I am using this on an HP slimeline S3220n machine with on board graphics. It is about two and half years old and can handle incredibly properly for the most element. No software as what i anticipated but the time you take in the aspect of getting to obtain software program to view Blu Rays you are seeking at the same value as obtaining a retail with application. I am operating a 30 day train of Energy DVD suitable now and it does almost everything I need it to. i have opted to upgrade my Video card to PowerColor AX3450 512MD2-H. When playing blu-rays I noticed it was a bit glitchy. I haven't got the card yet so I dont know how a lot difference it will make yet. I will let you know after I get it up and going.

Basic low expense Blu-Ray player that runs fine. Seriously silly that you need to enter a Con when there aren't any. OEM version at OEM value. Spend a lot more for the retail version if you will need cables and software package.

Low cost, simple installation (tho what isnt these days?), does precisely what it should. Power DVD ver ten is essential to correctly play most blu-ray discs. A fantastic low-cost remedy for HTPC's or even gaming Pc's. Didn't come with a software player, but didn't expect a bare drive to incorporate that anyway. Back in the day we employed to complain about the regular white/cream color of computers... Black is getting a bit old, tho it does match most circumstances pretty well. Operating Windows 7 ࿀bit), Intel Q9300, Nvidia gtx275 video, 42" Panasonic Viera plasma.

It only expense ื.99! The firmware has not been updated because April and can't play films on the Total Media software program. On the PowerDVD software program it comes with there appears to be a memory leak of some kind that causes the image to develop into snowy (like when your old tv set's stations weren't coming in all the way, or at all), and the sound to skip. I know it's not the Blu-Rays mainly because they function fine on my parents' new Blu-Ray player for their HDTV. No help from Lite-On concerning this issue, and I've tried various times. Came with most recent WLOD firmware upgrade set up :( I got this so I could make some good screen captures for a blog I run, and would even pay the extra $$ for the Total Media software package that will allow you to do that...if this player would run with Total Media, which it doesn't. I feel like I wasted my income.

1. Great inexpensive drive2. Operates effectively for playing BR 3. Quiet - mine is not loud at all. At this time I have no cons to report. I have only had this drive for a brief time I have utilised three various BR in it with no problems. I did not use the BR software that came with it I currently had Nero ten Plat which has a built in BR player. The drive played all motion pictures flawlessly. So far I am pleased with the drive.

Incredibly affordable, ื.99 with cost-free shipping, you can't go wrong. SATA drive is a snap to set up, just plug in and go. Windows 7 did the rest. Reconised and installed drive ideal at login, BD-ROM. No computer software but who cares. You can get computer software anywhere. You will will need a SATA cable, and possibly a Molex to SATA power adapter (depending on your PS)Doesn't come with a Blu-ray software disk for me to throw away. This is OEM, and why spend more for a "Retail" box for bloatware Blu-ray player software program, when one particular can get Free of charge options. I guess I'm a lucky a single, no problems what so ever, and it plays Blu-ray with no problems. I can even back up my Blu-ray and DVDs with it with no difficulties. Can even make ISOs of both. Splash Lite plays backed up mk2t, mkv, vob with a sleek interface, supports five.1 and is Cost-free. Save your further ฽ for retail and get this OEM drive.

I built a HTPC with this drive, it was uncomplicated to set up and worked right away with no issues at all. Applied it to set up Windows 7 64-bit. It plays BD, DVD, and CD without challenges. It appears to read considerably slower than the optical drives in my other systems; it requires 5x as long to rip a CD or DVD than my much older technique, but that genuinely isn't an issue when you're just playing a disk. Software program also appears to take a bit additional time to install utilizing this disk. Don't count on this to do anything more than just play media for you. And at the price tag, it does a wonderful job!

I loved it at very first but had small troubles installing it due to video card. Was not the blue ray it self but my video card. Soon after I altered out my video card it had no troubles at all. I discover the playback and handful of other things about it that made my 42 inch screen look so sweet on hdmi. excellent work new egg. Not all video cards will function on it. Individuals ought to verify the spec. to make sure. excellent price. No troubles.

Device is good, I don't discover noise, really enjoying this device...when I got the computer software to perform. PowerDVD 8 is awful. I hate it with the burning passion of 1000 suns. Its a piece of junk. Sadly, just about every single blu-ray playback software program readily available suffers from equivalent problems. The software was so undesirable that I believed "this have to be a dud drive." Google helped though.I commit a really lengthy time obtaining powerDVD to work; updates, finicky settings (core i3 integrated graphics,) and nonetheless it gave me concerns. I'm nonetheless not precisely certain how I got the issue to function - it turned out that I had to register the application for a third and fourth time. At least right after each update. I was worried I'd have to register for every single movie!On top rated of that, the software leaves 500MB of junk in your RAM, and exiting the plan doesn't imply your personal computer will flush that ram. Force-dumping the ram won't do it. It requirements an actual reboot!PowerDVD practically gave me an aneurysm and makes me want to bittorrent blu-ray content material rather do this legit. Built as aspect of an HTPC, employing core i3 integrated graphics and a motherboard with an HDMI port.If you expertise blu-ray playback concerns, confirm that the computer software isn't your issue prior to you commence suspecting the hardware.

I genuinely only utilised this drive twice - when to install Windows 7 House Premium onto my HTPC and when to play "District 9" in Blue Ray working with PowerDVD ten Ultra. Played great, no issues to speak of. You'll require a more quickly drive to play 3D Blue Ray but that's not what I bought this drive for.

Comment:
low-cost was not compatable with my a-bit motherboard, ended up just reselling it lead to i was sick of dealing with it. Worked ok in my other desktops even though, just not the one I wanted it for.

Comment:
Inexpensive. if you are not sure how to update firmware dont get this drive. Update firmware as soon as you get it operating.......

Comment:
Got this for ุ! What a steal! Plays blu-rays flawlessly. Utilizing Cyberlink PowerDVD ten. Wonderful picture and sound by means of HDMI. No application came with mine. Sad face.

Comment:
No probs. right here By no means had the chance to watch Blurays on this, just DVDs.

Comment:
It can lay a blu ray disc. (really?) Really weak physique for little electronic shock. I truned on/off several times due to the fact it appears not to run correctly. After that, this driver was borken by some unusual internal heat. I'll not get any LiteOn item at all.

Comment:
Plays Blu-rays extremely properly A small slow None for the price tag

Comment:
It can read discs? Atleast it was detected by my new build and I was able to load up windows with it. -Doesn't come with any software. to playback dvd's, or blu-rays for that matter.-Lite on has not released any updates as far as firmware. -will need these updates to playback newer blu-ray discs. (a la ps3 updates and other manufacturer firmware updates) Don't waste your time with this drive. I must have paid focus to all these other critiques prior to getting this.Your better off with a standalone Blu-ray player than this point.

Affordable PowerDVD software does not work, but of course they state that you can obtain the newest 贄 version. Totally no customer assistance from CyberLink so i will not obtain their upgrade

Comment:
Will not perform with the supplied computer software. Energy dvd eight updates did nothing at all. The advisor said it really should function. Am running windows 7, p4 three. processor with 2g ram and nvidia 8400GS video card As usual was a superior price tag but I do not want to spend for additional application when the explanation I purchased this one was it came with the essential computer software.
