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.

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,
Singtoh

Looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

There are plenty of options but I have found that the LaCie d2 http://blu-ray.burnworld.com/burners/lacie-d2.htm works more consistantly. I use Toast 11 mainly for Blu-Ray. The drive does come with a basic verison of the software which is good for most but you need to upgrade to do some serious authoring.

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

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,
Hunt

Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 driver for MacBook Pro with retina display

I see a mention of Google Chrome and VirtualBox in your log. Stop using those and see if the situation changes? From what we know so far, the problem is a software one (Apple's fault), not a hardware problem. Mountain Lion is supposed to fix the issue, which should be out in about a week. So you could wait til then, upgrade to ML, and see if its still crashing or not.

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.
