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...

  • 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.

    They are all the same dimensionally, you just change out your front bezel and the rear mounting bracket. When you install it Windows automatically installs the drivers, but you will have to install your own Blu-ray burning software of course.
    Some advice, the laptop burners are not that great and they are all single layer (25GB) An external burner is way better, but the laptop Blu-ray readers are OK.
     I am running an LG external Blu-ray burner and it's very reliable.
     This software is good and it's free. It lets you go through the burning process first with out the lazar to make sure everything is OK. With this feature you don't waste expensive media.

     PS : Just checked, this one does appear to be duel layer as well. Contact the seller to ask him what he means by "rewriting speed"
     There is even a little you-tube video on the e-bay link I gave you on how to exchange the bezel.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • UJ-220 BD-RE Blu-Ray Drive Burner on HP Compaq 6720s laptop

    Happy New Year!
    I received from a friend a UJ-220 BD-RE Blu-Ray Drive Burner from a broken Sony PCG-391M.
    It's possible to install it on my HP Compaq 6720s laptop? They are the same connectors (PATA) IDE interface.
    I need a driver? I dont't want to write BLURAY just to read.
    Or, it-s possible to buy in Romania a USB 2.0 External Enclosure For UJ-220?
    Thank you!

  • Blu Ray drive/burner can't write dual layer DVD - W500 Vista 64

    I recently did a clean Vista 64 Business install on a new hard drive. I pretty much have everything up and going, except the Blu Ray drive doesn't recognize that it can write dual layer DVDs. I ran Nero InfoTool and it, too, tells me that the drive cannot write dual layer DVDs. (Pretty much everything in InfoTool is checked, read and write, except all the HD-DVDs and the dual layer DVD write functions.) Does anyone have any ideas? My understanding is that the drive can write dual layer DVDs.

    I'll answer this with the same information that I posted at TPF:
    From: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70234
    Reads or writes data with speedy maximum data transfer rates of:
    * 16x maximum (writing to CD-R media)
    * 10x maximum (writing to CD-RW media)
    * 5x maximum (writing to DVD-RAM media)
    * 8x maximum (writing to DVD+/-R media)
    * 4x maximum (writing to DVD+/-RW media)
    * 2x maximum (writing to BD-R/RE SL media)
    * 1x maximum (writing to BD-R/RE DL media)
    * 24x maximum (reading CD-ROM, CD-R media)
    * 24x maximum (reading CD-RW media)
    * 8x maximum (reading DVD-ROM/-R/+R SL media)
    * 6x maximum (reading DVD-ROM/-R/+R DL media)
    * 6x maximum (reading DVD-RW/+RW media)
    * 5x maximum (reading DVD-RAM media)
    * 2x maximum (reading BD-ROM media)
    * 2x maximum (reading BD-R/RE SL/DL media)
    It appears that DL (dual layer) writing in DVD-R and DVD+R formats is not supported.

    Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID.  I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod.  How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please?  I could do with a step by step guide to follow as am worried about loosing aps, music, photo's etc which are on the individual phones.
    Thanks
    Mandi

    On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • 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.

  • Installed Blu-Ray burner in Mac Pro. Vista Bootcamp compatible?

    I have a Mac compatible blu-ray burner in my Mac Pro. Will Bootcamp transfer the necessary driver for it to work in Windows Vista or Windows 7?
    Anybody else have a Blu-ray burner in their Mac Pro's?

    I'm waiting on delivery of my new OWC external and will strip the Pioneer out of it and jam it into the mac pro replacing the second windtubine upon receipt. I know I could have gotten the bare stand alone drive but with the case you also get the flexibilty of moving it around, cables and two 25 gig discs..all for about $100
    Re the 50 gig burning question..try finding 50 g discs...
