Adding a Blu ray internal drive to a Satellite C650D-126

Hi
has any one added a blu-ray drive to a C650D-126???
I have, but i can't get the blu-ray to work. It works as a DVD and CD but not like the blu-ray.
Can anyone help?
My blu-ray details are HL-DT-ST BD-RE_BT10N ATA device
Need help as drivers say it is working properly
Thanks

I think you are the first one with this question. According notebook specification this notebook model is delivered with DVD Super Multi Drive (Double Layer) only.
If I understand you right you have already new ODD inside. When you say you cannot get it work as blu ray what that means exactly? Have you installed blu ray player and tried to watch movies?

  • Blu-Ray Optical Drive

    Is it possible to install a Blu-Ray optical drive (read/write) into the Mac Pro? Will the Apple software author a BD disk then? I am very interested in being able to do this. Thanks.

    I've had a Lacie External Blu-Ray for a while now and can confirm it would also work fine internally. The big issue with Blu-Ray and Apple at the moment is that the only way to author a Blu-Ray disc to work in PS3's and other Blu-Ray drives is to use Adobe Encore/Premiere. Then you come across another issue, Encore/Premiere is not compatible with Leopard. As mentioned here, Toast works flawlessly and is great for backups but that's where it ends.
    Blu-Ray drives are coming down all the time so my advice would be wait 2-3 months and by then everything will have moved on hugely now that Blu-Ray appears to be winning the war.
    If you want to author HD movies from your camera, buy an AppleTV and export for that. AppleTV is one of the most underrated pieces of Apple hardware ever and if the rumours are true that it will be dropped shortly, get one quick. Loads less hassle than Blu-Ray and works flawlessly.

  • Encore CS4 does not recognize Blue Ray External Driver

    I just bought a LG blue ray external drive writer which comes with Cyberlinks SW. From Premiere, I opened Encore to burn (build) a sequence on the LG Blue-Ray burner, but it does not work: - In En Project setting, the “Player” is grayed-out and only “Adobe Player” is displayed. - In En Build tab, when I choose the Format as Blue Ray and Output as Blue Ray Disk, the Build button is grayed out and Recorder shows None Found. However when I change the Format to DVD, the Build settings automatically change and the Recorder LG Blue Ray is shown. How do I make En to recognize the LG Blue Ray and burn in Blue ray format? Thanks, Vlad.

    There are many threads in the Encore forum regarding reasons that burners are not seen. Most of these problems can be traced back to specific software, and most of the rest have to do with how the hardware is set up. You can find most of these in the main forum, and the Burning DVD sub-forum, with a Search.
    First thing that I'd check is that your OS sees your hardware. In Windows, Control Panel>System>Device Manager. Check here (or within your OS) to make sure that it's just not a bad installation.
    Good luck,

  • External Blue Ray Disk Drive and T61, Or is one available for the Ultra Bay yet?

    Hello All,
    I was wondering if anyone has a Blue Ray Disk Drive connected to there T61? Can the T61 handle a Blue Ray Disk Drive? The reason I am asking is because I was thinking of getting one for my T61 and then playing Blue Ray movies thru my LCD TV, the LCD TV being monitor #2. Would the quality be as good as a normal Blue Ray player that is hooked to the TV? My graphics card is Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M. Thank you for in advance for any advice on this.
    Cheers,

  • My iMac Keeps on try to boot on my external Blu-ray disk drive

    My iMac Keeps on try to boot on my external Blu-ray disk drive and not the hard drive. Therefore when I turn it on, it boots up and then it go pass the sound and the apple logo come up on screen but then it frezzes and noing happens; even if I hold down the power button.
    System Software Overview:
    Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
    Boot Mode: Normal
    It should not boot off the Blu-ray read/wrigt.
    iMac from 2013 Q1
    Blu-ray is LG read/wrigt for Blu-rays, HD DVDs, DVDs and CDs pluged in by USB

    Boot into safe mode (restart holding down SHIFT key). If no KP, then uninstall and reinstall those 3rd-party items that Roger pointed out, one at a time, and restart. Continue until you determine which ones are causing the problem. If KP while in safe mode, then most likely hardware related. Run the Apple Hardware Test suite, extended tests at least twice, followed by Rember.  See

  • I have a new iMac 27 and a new Blu Ray external drive.

    I have a new iMac 27 and a new Blu Ray external drive. What is the best way to burn a BluRay disk? I read about TOAST etc but they are getting bad reviews. What software is the best? Im running mountain lion of course. Anyone know of good software to burn this type of disk that ACTUALLY works?

    Okay, a couple of things:
    I still use (mostly) an old version of iMovie because it was/is the only version which will process footage losslessly. However, the newer versions are okay - just do not use the automatic share option, but use  the export to quicktime option where you have many options as to quality, size, etc:
    You will wind up with a .mov file you can drag into Toast to burn (or iDVD to add menus and burn). If in iDVD, you can either burn directly (but not bluray) or make a VIDEO_TS folder which can be dragged into Toast - I also use that if I want to keep a copy to burn later as it has all the necessary files so you can ditch or archive all your clips, etc.

  • Blu ray slot drive for macbook

    anybody know of a 3rd party blue ray slot drive for the macbook?
    will this void my applecare warranty? thanks.

    I just got off the phone with an Apple Engineer assigned to working with our company with the following information...
    No, there is currently no MacBook Compatible BR drive either from Apple or any (known) 3rd Party Vendor. Also, it would void your stock or AppleCare Warranty due to the nature of the upgrade to what Apple Classifies as 'Non-User-Serviceable' parts.
    Assuming you could get a drive that works and pay an Apple Certified Tech to put it in, in theory you might retain your warranty as long as you were willing to return the machine to the stock Combo/SuperDrive anytime you needed service.

  • Experience with MCE internal Blu Ray optical drive

    I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 17".  The was the last 17" laptop that Apple produced.  A MacBook Pro Retina 15" is just not an alternative, as setting the display to the same resolution as the 17" produces letters that are too small to read.  So I have been "souping up" the 17".  I've expanded the memory to 16 GB and replaced the HDD by a 1 TB SDD.  Now I'm considering replacing the optical drive by an MCE internal optical drive that supports Blu Ray (http://store.mcetech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=UNBBD6X -A&Category_Code=STORBD).  Has anybody done this?  If so, have you encountered any problems or limitations?

    I use a Lacie D2 external Blu-ray drive on my Mc Pro.
    It is not possible to play Blu-ray DVD's using Mac OS X as OS X does not support Blu-ray. To watch Blu-ray movies on a Mac you will need to use Windows software such as that made by Cyberlink (http://cyberlink.com/). You can burn Blu-ray data disks and Blu-ray video disks on the Mac Pro using Toast 9, and you can do more extensive authoring of Blu-ray disks on the Mac using Adobe's Encore CS4.

  • Mac Pro 2008 Install Blu-Ray Internal ODD Port?

    Hello everything together I has the LG GGW h 20 L Blu Ray and would like the burner to internal port to attach, but that unfortunately cannot be done. Toast detects the burner however it can only CDs and DVDs burning and no Blu-Ray, I have myself an PCI x Card bought with the SIL 3132 chip record, but
    this does not want to function so correctly. What can I make? Greeting
    from Frankfurt
    My System Mac Pro 2008 2x2,8 2 TB HD end 16 GB Ram

    The PCI card might be causing your issues. There are 2 SATA ports on the Mac Pro's motherboard that you can attach the drive to, but it can be tricky trying to reach them. Also, make sure you have the latest version of Toast. The minimum requirement is version 8, but version 9 is recommended.

  • MacPro blue ray internal  and external burner

    I have Prostudio 2 and the latest updates on my quad core 3.0.
    I want to be able to burn blue ray DVDs and was wondering what is the best buy for a internal blue ray drive?
    Can I burn a Blue Ray DVD using Toast 8 or is it not required?

    You're very welcome.
    I have never burned a movie with mine but I have burned large 3+ GB ISO images using CD Burner XP, and it takes just a few minutes.
    Now, if you mean can you insert a disk in one drive, and copy that disk via the other drive using the same program set to copy or grab disk, that should be possible.
    It should show one drive as the one to copy from and one to copy to, just like if you had two DVD drives in a desktop PC.
    If you are asking can you simultaneously burn two different files on two different burners using the same program at the same time, that I have no clue. I guess you would have to try it and find out.  You would open the program and burn one file to a disk and open the program again and burn another file to the other DVD burner. If the program won't let you open two instances of it at the same time, then you probably could open a different DVD burning program such as the one I posted above and use that to burn the other files with.

  • Install Blu ray internal burner in G5 that has an IDE set up?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to install an internal SATA Blu-Ray burner into a Power Mac G5 that uses an IDE set up for its optical drive by using the current SATA and power cables that are used for the internal slave SATA drive? We would have to use longer SATA and power cables to reach the Blu-Ray drive. Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    Jordan

    Or easier, they make IDE to SATA converters...

  • DVD & Blu Ray Burner Drive Trays Do Not Stay Open When Media is in the Drive

    I have a problem with both Windows 8/8.1 and the Windows 10 Technical Preview (there is no issue when I run Windows 7).
    I have 2 optical drives: 1) DVD Burner and 2) Blu Ray Burner (I just got the second drive a few weeks ago). They are attached to the secondary SATA Chip (see below for specifics).
    The problem I'm having is that when I eject media from either drive, the drive does not stay open, but rather immediately closes. Before I got the Blu Ray Burner, I had this problem with just the single DVD Burner by itself. I was hoping when I installed
    Windows 10 Technical Preview that this problem would not be present, but it is present in that O/S as well.
    This problem will repeat continuously if I attempt to use the eject button and so I either have to grab the disc while the tray is moving, or if I press the eject button again on the drive at the right time, I can get it to re-open and not close (this
    is tricky to get the button timing right as it seems like it has to be done close to when the drive tray is fully extended when it starts retracting). It usually takes me 5 to 10 button presses to get it to stay open. Sometimes it will stay open for about
    0.5 to 1s before it closes again, but most of the times it just immediately closes. I also have the same problem if I use the software eject feature by right clicking on the drive and choosing eject.
    Of course, the expected behavior is that pressing the eject button should open the tray, but not close it immediately allowing you to remove the disc.
    Here is some background information about my system and how the drives are connected:
    1. Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP45-ED3P Revision 1.0 LGA 775
    2. Interface (for both drives): Gigabyte SATA II Chip - 2 x SATA 3 GB/s connectors (GSATA2_0, GSATA2_1) supporting up to 2 SATA 3 GB/s devices
    3. Memory: 8 GB (4 x 2 GB)
    It should be noted that I tri-boot between Windows 7, 8/8.1, and 10 Technical Preview and that this issue is not present in Windows 7, but has always been there in Windows 8/8.1 and now it is present in 10TP as well.
    I've had this system for just over 6 years now and it is still going strong. It should be noted that I have both drives on the secondary SATA chip (as identified above), which is meant to be used with removable SATA devices.
    Since the problem exhibits itself in both Windows 8/8.1 and 10TP, a reinstall of the O/S will have no affect on this problem and so this appears to be some other issue that is consistent between Windows 8/8.1 and 10TP.
    I'd appreciate your support in looking at this issue - thanks!

    Hey Zagayer,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    As you now have two optical drives in your Mac Pro, you need to be able to choose which drive to eject.  That is built into the system.  You just hold the Option key while tapping eject for the 2nd drive.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Eject a disk
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10613
    If your computer has two optical drives, hold down Option-Media Eject or Option-F12 to eject a disc from the second drive.
    Have a nice day,

  • Blue Ray Disk drive compatibility with DVD S Pro, Mac Pro

    Ok, I'll make this an official question, where might I find info on BDR drive compatibility with DVD S Pro, Mac Pro, etc? I'm a little surprised that there doesn't seem to be much info available.
    I can always use my Pioneer BDR-202 with a windows box, I have several, but I'm trying to get AWAY from them.
    Any thoughts, links, etc. welcome, thanks
    Les

    Blu-ray offers a level of interacivity that is not possible with DVDs, so it isn't just an different drive that you are getting with Blu-ray. Seeing how Apple didn't upgrade DVD SP with the new FCP Suite 2, it is reasonable to assume they are working on a separate Blu-Ray Studio Pro, that is going to be completely different than DVD SP. Adobe Encore's support for Blu-Ray is extremely buggy, so obviously moving from DVD programming to Blu-Ray programming isn't just a simple tweak to the code.
    Apple doesn't pre-announce software they are working on so this is all guess work, but it is reasonable to assume that they are working on a Blu-Ray programming application. Be patient. Do you really have the money to burn on the bleeding edge of new technology? A single Blu-Ray burnable disc sells for $20. Two months ago the exact same disc sold for $45. Prices will continue to fall as things stablize.
