Replacement of Superdrive with internal Blu-Ray Rewriter?

I have an older Mac (Mid-2007) and I wanted to change the pre-installed Superdrive with this Blu-Ray internal rewriter, http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Arrival-100-Original-Slot-Load-BD-DVD-Rewrite r-UJ-225-PATA-Blu-ray-disk-Burner/168556
But I believe that the Superdrive is 9mm, would this work, (as the drive is 12.7mm).
Any help is appreciated, Thank You

To my knowledge Apple Mac OS X does not support Bluray at all. There may be an aftermarket program you could use but I'm not sure.
Also I doubt you will find a BR drive that will fit inside the space allotted for the Superdrive.

  • Can I replace my optical drive with internal blu-Ray player?

    Basically what the question says. I have a MacBook Pro mid-2009, and I'm wondering if I can replace the optical drive with an internal blu-ray drive.  I would want to be able to read and write to regular CD and DVD still though, that's a must. Also, if there is an internal drive I can put in, will OSX Mavericks support playing a blu-ray movie just because my computer can read it?
    Thanks for any knowledge or advice you guys can offer!

    No.

  • Please Suggest a Compatible Internal Blu Ray Burner to buy for PE13 with Windows 7

    Can anyone tell me brands and models of currently sold internal Blu ray burners that are compatible with Premiere elements 13 using Windows 7? The list on the Adobe website seems to be outdated models. So far I have tried the Pioneer BDR-2209 and the LG WH16NS40 and both are recognized as drives by PE 13  but display "media not present" when a Blu Ray disc is inserted.  I need to be able to burn blue ray discs from my PE 13 software. Which model internal drives are you having success with? Thank you!!!

    Premiere Elements 13 Windows 7 64 bit.
    I have been using a LG Blu-ray DVD burner (12X) successfully for Premiere Elements 4 through 13. But, as far as I know, this brand/model is no
    longer sold.
    The "Media Not Present" issue is not unique to Premiere Elements 13, and I question whether one fix or suggested burner is a universal solution.
    Suggestions before buying any more burner for this purpose...
    1. Explore other brand/type Blu-ray discs
    2. Uninstall Premiere Elements 13 (usual Control Panel way), do a free ccleaner run through CCleaner - Download
    and the reinstall the program with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    If "2" does not work, then delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file found
    Local Disc C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    13.0
    and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    3. If all else fails (or before doing all of the above), determine if the Burn To: ISO Image works for Blu-ray.
    You can take that ISO Image and get it to Blu-ray disc using a program such as ImgBurn. (Install ImgBurn with great care
    since it comes with "baggage of carry along programs" if you do not make the right choices in the download and install.)
    Please review and consider the above. Right now, finding the one size fits all Blu-ray player in your specific computer environment may prove
    frustrating.
    More later.

  • Satellite A200-21t CD/DVD drive replacement with an Blu-ray reader

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A200-21t notebook that came with the mat****a UJ-850 drive.
    My original drive isn't working anymore...
    I'm planning to buy a new one, but i would like one that has a buit in Blu-ray dvd reader.
    I heard that not all players work with Toshiba's laptops, so i would like some help to find a bluray drive that would work with my notebook.
    Two drives caught my attention:
    the Panasonic UJ-120 and the Sony BC 5500A.
    Do these drivers work with Toshibas?
    Does anyone has another suggestion?
    Thanks very much for the help!

    Hi
    > Do these drivers work with Toshibas?
    I think you will have to test it yourself.
    As far as I know Toshiba didnt mention anything about compatible Blueray drives for Satellite A200.
    The point is that not all drives are compatible due to different master/slave/c-sel settings.
    Using not compatible ODD you will get an IDE #1 error message and the drive will not be recognized by BIOS.
    But I read here in the forum that some guys managed to upgrade the own Toshiba units with a blue ray drive
    Therefore Im thinking that youve got a good chance to upgrade it.

  • Install an internal blu-ray burner on a 24' iMac 2.4 Ghz

    Been trying to find an internal blu-ray burner drive to install on my 24 inch iMac 2.4. Does anyone know of an internal drive I can use. Thanks all.

    Get a Panasonic UJ-235 (SATA) or UJ-225 (ATA). I installed one in my 27" iMac. It works like it came from Apple. Any 12.5 mm slot loading optical drive will work in an iMac, but the best option is the UJ-235. Your best bet on finding one is on ebay as they aren't redily avaliable for retail purchase as they are mainly for oem aplications. Wait, check to see if you optical drive is sata or ide, if it is ide you can't use the UJ-235, it will take the UJ-225. the way to check is in the sytem information. Look under ATA, if it is your current superdrive will be listed there adn go with the UJ-225. then check serial-ATA, if the suoerdrive is listed there then go with the UJ-235. Toast will burn a bluray, makemkv will rip one, and Mac BluRay palyer will play it. You can do a decrypted rip an clone a commercial blu ray with MakeMKV and toast. But there is no reson to do that because the blank double layer discs are more expensive than buying the movie. Also Handbrake is now bluray ready, you have to do a decryted rip first. But you can make a m4v file that is much better than ones you purchase on itunes. itunes only has them in 720p right now but you can make them in 1080p with handbrake, and incrase the bitrate. Granted, it will take about 12 hours with the 2.4 dual core intel, but it will do it. I have the 3.4 i7 with 32 gb of ram and it takes about 3 hours. I heard a 12 core mac pro can do it in 20 min, so long as the ram is maxed out at 96 gb. But my set up ran about $4,000 and the mac pro set up like that will push $10,000.
    Really, your best bet is to use a full speed external through firwire 800 or usb2. The read and burn speed is determined by the drive anyway and those fullsized drives are so much faster than laptop internal drives that the iMac uses.

  • Internal blue ray player?

    Is there an internal blue ray available for my macbook pro? Or software to play a blue ray disc?

    No, there is no way to play a Blu-Ray disc in the MBP's internal drive, and I haven't heard of any internal Blu-Ray drive replacement option. The best you can do is an external drive and some third-party software that, last I heard, was new and still a little wobbly on its pins. See "more like this" at right.

  • INTERNAL Blu-Ray burners.

    Forum,
    Does any one know of an internal Blu-Ray burner which is compatible with Mac Pro?
    LiteOn tell me their products are not cmpatable.
    Thanks,
    Michael.

    Hi gogiangigo,
    I looked in the archives and found a reference to internal Blu-Ray burners which are compatible with Mac Pro.
    Choose Pioneer Blu-Ray BDR-205 which Amazon will deliver on Tuesday.
    LG Super Multi Blue OEM is also suitable for Mac Pro but was not available from Amazon.
    The USA OWC site is very useful.
    So ,hopefully using Toast 10 I will be able to write Blu-Ray discs.
    Do you think I should retain the original DvD writer in addition to the Blu-Ray burner?
    I suppose Toast will give an option on which burner to use.
    Many thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Michael.

  • Internal Blu-Ray options?

    I'm looking to purchase an internal Blu-Ray burner for my pre-2009 MacPro. Anyone out there have any recommendations? Thanks!

    That's a SATA drive, which should work in the 2009 Mac Pro's, but the 2008 model like I have and the OP is IDE. Any IDE options left? Looks like most of them are NLA.
    That's a drive kit that includes a SATA to 4-pin power adapter and a cable to the SATA ports on the main logic board It will work in any Mac Pro (with OSX).

  • Internal blu-ray

    Are there any internal blu-ray drives that will work with the mac mini?
    Thanks,
    Glor

    cannot run blu ray on a mac at all unless I did something wrong
    Completed my testing.. My mission was to watch a non ripped blu ray on my mac using a USB external blu ray player, Sony/NEC JV edition.
    :confused:
    Short Version - There appears no way to play a blu ray on a mac unless you rip it. Period ... but I tried really.
    Detailed Version
    Did some testing today, on a new 4gb mac mini w/ snow leopard and a USB External mac friendly 'labeled' external sony/nec blu ray player. I use the mac mini as a media extender connected to my 52" plasma and back to my 'PC Config'
    The 'PC config' is cat5 connected via GIGe from the mac mini back to a Apple Extreme that acts as a network hub connecting to my NAS, (2x2tb raid) & PC (Windows 7 on Quad core 8gb ram 20TB HD (5x 2TB internal and 5 x 2TB external) NAS and ADSL2+ Internet (got all that).
    Here are my results; no surprises.
    Litmus Test : On a windows 7 PC it lets you play a blu ray disc on it (go figure) or dvd/cd of course.
    Test 2 On the Mac it plays a dvd only
    Test 3 On the Mac running window 7 in parallels it plays a dvd only
    Test 4 On the Mac running windows 7 in boot camp it plays a dvd only
    Test 5 On the Mac networked to a PC with the blu ray drive shared it plays a dvd only
    Test 6 On the Mac networked to a PC with the blu ray drive shared it plays a dvd only in Parallels 5 and Windows 7
    Test 7 On the Mac networked to a PC with the blu ray drive shared it plays a dvd only in boot camp running Windows 7
    Software used for windows 7 (pc and in MAC vm) VLC, and Cyberlink Power DVD 10. The mac will run an MKV file (ripped blu ray no problem), too mcuh trouble, I just want to play a blu ray.
    Hope to avoid buying another blu ray player.

  • Are there any Installation instructions for adding an MCE internal Blu-Ray burner to a Mac Pro(2013) running OS X Montain Lion?

    Looking for any installation instructions or assistance in adding hardware (MCE internal blu-ray burner multi-drive14x) to my Mac Pro system running the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion.

    Ask the vendor if they provide installation instructions. Otherwise, do a Google search for links on installing optical devices in a Mac Pro.

  • What drive to replace the superdrive with?

    A few days ago the superdrive in my Powermac G4 (MDD - 1.42Ghz) decided to start making tons of circular scratches in any disc that is inserted into the computer. I have a feeling it's going to have to be replaced (actually - this is the second superdrive in the computer. First one was replaced under warantee within the first year... but that's not an option anymore...)
    So... what drive should I use to replace it? Is it best to stick with whatever is currently in it - or is it possible to replace it with one of the new dual-layer drives found on dealmac? Most of those don't seem to be specifically mac compatible, but often times things like that work anyway. Does anyone have any experience replacing their superdrive with something else? How does iDVD, itunes, etc. work? Thanks!!!

    I installed the Pioneer DVR-111D in my MDD G4 and have not had any problems using it in any applications. I moved the OEM Combo drive down to the second bay and use it as the disk source for copying CDs and DVDs.
    BTW, IMO, the 111D is a very quiet and smooth operating drive compared to most optical drives I've heard.
    Note, you have to remove the 111D's tray faceplate to use it in the MDD G4 as the faceplate will interfere with the opening and closing of the flapper doors on the MDD G4. Not a big deal, just pry it up gently from the bottom with your fingers and it will pop off.
    Good luck.

  • C55DT-B520​8 internal blu-ray burner?

    I have a Satellite C55DT-B5208 and am wondering if it's possible to install an internal blu-ray burner. If so does anyone know of a decently priced one that would work in this model?
    Thanks for any help!

    Satellite C55Dt-B5245 (PSCN6U-008002)  <-- Has ODD
    I don't know about Blu-ray, but the model above in your same part-number family has an optical drive. So you should be able to install the same one.
    If you want to pursue it, call a parts vendor and ask them to look up that second model. (It's too new to be listed there.)

  • FD Trinitron WEGA KV-30HS420 problem with Sony Blu-ray players

    I have a Sony FD Trinitron KV-30HS420 television, which has worked very well over the last 11 years or so.  I've owned a Sony BDP-S780 Blu-ray player for a few years, and it has worked very well with my TV.  I believe I updated the firmware on the blu-ray player a month or two ago, to the M07.R.0631 version from December 2014.  When I plugged a USB flash drive into the player - one I've used several times before successfully - the screen went black.  The only difference I can think of is that I created folders on the USB flash drive, and put the mp4s into the folders.  I think I may have had a similar problem with the blu-ray player a year or two ago when I also used folders on the USB drive, but I was able to fix the problem by unplugging the player and rebooting.  That did not resolve this issue. Now, if I try to turn on my player, which is hooked to my TV via HDMI, the "Sony Blu-ray" symbol appears as usual, then the thin blue line that stretches partially accross the screen horizontally, but at the stage where the screen will usually flicker and the blue line will expand to fill the whole length of the 16:9 screen, the screen instead turns black.  It appears the player is still functioning (as I'll explain below), but the TV is no longer able to process the signal. I spent several hours with Sony tech support going through everything - checking the connections, swapping HDMI cables, lowering the resolution on the player, and changing other player settings, but I still have the same problem.  If I hook the player up to a newer Vizio HD television, everything works fine - which is why the player seems to be functioning ok.  If I hook my HD DVR to my television, it continues to work fine as well - so I don't think it's a problem with my HDMI connection on my TV.  It appears to be a communication issue between the blu-ray player and the TV. I have been meaning to buy a second blu-ray player anyway, so I purchased a Sony BDP-S5500, thinking that might resolve the issue.  But the exact same thing happens when I plug it into my Sony TV.  That blu-ray player also works fine with the newer Vizio TV.
     I spent several additional hours with Sony support making sure there wasn't an issue with the new Blu-ray player.  This included about an hour of hold time, and being forwarded to over 4 different support staff, including an "escalated" forward to a "Level 5" support staff.  I had to repeat the issue several times to the staff, including Yeng (Employee #C8WZ), Charlie (Employee #C75Y), and Mel (Employee #C822).  The first staff I spoke with - Eric - told me he'd call back the next day after checking compatibility issues.  Neither he, nor any other Sony staff, called back after 2 days, so I called support again - they had no record of my conversation with Eric, and I had to start the whole process over again.  The Sony phone support so far has been very disappointing, to say the least. Any help would be appreciated.  I'm guessing that by plugging in the USB with the folder structure, it somehow triggered a setting on the older BDP-S780 blu-ray player to use an updated setting - a setting that is common with the software on the newer blu-ray player.  Has anyone else had a similar issue with one of the FD Trinitron WEGA tvs?  Thanks for your help.

    Your older TV is not capable of displaying either 1080P or any progressive program at tthat. On a standard definition (SD) non-progressive CRT like yours, blu-ray is a complete waste. Even if it could accept the signal, it wouldn't look any better.
