MSI GE70 Blu-ray Drive Issue

Just bought a new msi ge70 2oe-017us 2 days ago and haven't had any issues with it until I had to use the blu ray drive today. After I insert a cd into it, it sounds like its loading and then gives off an repeatedly annoying noise. The disc doesn't get recognized at all either. The cd i'm using is working in another computer.
The bluray drive is a TSSTcorp DVDWBD SN-406AB, no flag in device manager and drives are updated.
I have a video of the sound it's making, but the forum won't allow me to post it.

looks like you may need to send it back if the bluray drive has malfunction.

System crash when using blue-ray drive

Hi,
when I use my blue-ray-drive, often the Macbook Pro with Mac OS X hangs, after a few seconds it reboots.
Most replicable is it happens when I insert a media in the drive.
This happens, when I connect the drive via USB and also when I connect it via eSata at the Thunderbolt docking device.
The problem already existed in MacOS 10.10.0
Is this a bug of Mac OS?
I use:
- Macbook Pro Retina 15" Late 2013 wit Mac OS X 10.10.2
- Blue-Ray- Burner Plextor PX-B940SA
- S-Ata to USB 2.0 or eSata bridge/ housing with separate AC-adapter - DeLock 42160
- optional Akitio Thunderbolt Docking unit with eSata-port
Appreciate your help!
kind reagards
Christoph

Uh...no!
You have plugged in a Blu-ray playing optical which will NOT work and may crash your system as long as there is no installed software to support it.
Was there any other additonal driver software that was needed to use this Blu-Ray optical drive under OS X.
DId this drive say anywhere that is is Mac compatible because they make Mac compatible Blu-ray drives.
Not all optical drives (Blu-Ray, too) are Mac compatible.
Where was this drive purchased?
it won't work with Blu-ray discs (and I suspect ANY discs) until you install some Blu-Ray playing software.
Here is a Mac only company that sells only Mac compatible drives and hardware.
Other World Computing (OWC) (macsales.com).

You still need to purchase BLu-Ray player and authoring software, though, with these drives.

External Blu-Ray drive for HP Envy Lightscribe Issues

My HP Envy 13-1100ea came with an HP external Blu-Ray drive (HP Part No: 538333-001) which identifies itself as an Optiarc BD ROM BC-5600S. In the HP Envy 13 service manual it mentions this drive as having Lightscribe functionality but I cannot seem to get the drive to be detected by the Lightscribe Control Panel or any Lightscribe labelling software. I have tried installing the Lightscribe software (older version) from the HP product support page as well as the latest software and diagnostic utilities direct from the Lightscribe site but nothing has seemed to work so far. Has anyone had any success burning Lightscribe labels with this drive or have any advice that might get things working?

The drive has the following logo on the bottom plate:
Which looks quite similar to the lightscribe logo, although it's not exactly the same. The HP Envy 13 support page does not contain drivers for the optical drive and I can't seem to find a dedicated support page for the drive itself. I have tried uninstalling the default windows driver which it reinstalls when the drive is plugged in again. As I said before it has been communicated in various place that the drive features lightscribe functionality and I'd be pretty upset if it turns out it doesn't!

Is it possible to connect an external blue ray drive via USB with a mac mini to watch HD videos?

Is it possible to connect an external blue ray drive to a mac mini to watch HD videos? Iy yes, what additional software / hardware is necessary?

Did you even read the article you linked to?
Here's a quote from it
"The video itself looked fine when it played properly, but it stopped and started constantly, and often displayed with huge, ugly artifacts. And at times, the app would freeze completely and require a force quit.
Just to make sure it wasn’t a problem with one Blu-ray disc, I tried some others. With Hot Tub Time Machine the results were much, much worse. It got a few seconds into the United Artists logo before the movie and completely froze playback. On several attempts. With David Cronenberg’s The Fly, playback was generally better—but the software played the ‘making of’ movie instead of the actual film. I thought there might have been a preference to help with the movie selection, but—wait for it—the Preferences item didn’t do anything when I selected it."
Not very promising is it

Internal Blu-ray drive upgrade.

Hi, as the ongoing saga of desiring a Blu-ray Read & Write drive in a Macbook Pro 17" is still a painful bag of hurt for many people including myself, I still can't help try and track down a suitable possible solution and likely contender.
I previously had upgraded the MacBook Pro's internal 2.5" Hard Disk Drive after having learned at the time that the internal cleareance of my early 2009 unibody MBP 17" allowed a capacious maximum form-factor 'thickness' of 12.5mm instead of the usual 9.5mm for an internal HDD. This was an extremely rewarding piece of info and allowed me to grace the MBP with a 1TB HDD inside, which is absolutely fantastic especially when using space for Bootcamp and of course dealing with Hi Definition video files using FCS, in which you can 'never' have enough space for (transcoding into Apple Pro Res can turn out some seriously huge files). The now fitted internal 1TB drive has now enabled the MacBook Pro 17 to become mobile once again and not fully relying on external drives.
Except Blu-ray.
I'm personally not keen on attaching an external Blu-ray drive which is why I initially got a MBP for mobility and therefore still looking for an eventual compatible internal version. The irony is that Final Cut Studio can edit and process Hi Definition Media, albeit without proper large optical-disc storage media to store it on and FCS's Compressor will even transcode it to Blu-ray format and burn on output to Blu-ray disc (even has a Blu-ray New Batch template). Toast 10 & 11 Titanium deals with Blu-ray (via it's Blu-ray plugin). Therefore it continues to be a painful legacy that the MBP is devoid of one.
My question is this, if upgrading the internal Super-drive to another optical drive, what are the exact dimension restriction and therefore the allowed thickness form-factor for a slot-loading optical drive on it's 'own' and with it's securing bracket/bezel. Is the bracket/bezel a standard fixture that will de-assemble and be re-used with a new replacement, or would any replacement drive come with a new suitable on affixed.
Any thoughts on the following two likely contenders. The first drive by FastMac Reads & Writes Blu-ray, the second drive by Sony Reads Blu-ray only but both makes read & write DVD's (no doubt Sony has a writeable slot-loading version somewhere buried within one of their Web Site because I had a Sony Laptop about 4 or 5 years ago that burned Blu-ray). The FastMac drive looks promising if the company is legit:-

http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/-/3245/2512/-/18658441/Sony-BC-5640H-Slot-Loading-Sli m-Blu-Ray-Combo-Drive/Product.html
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:tGtqxbfqWNsJ:www.sony-optia rc.eu/products/bluraydrivesnotebooks/bc5640h.html+Sony+BC-5640H&cd=1&hl=en&ct=cl nk&gl=uk&source=www.google.co.uk
It doesn't matter if for at least the immediate time being, it may not be actually possible to play Blu-ray movies within OS X lacking the kernels for it. If a compatible drive was found, then the rewards are:-
Storing massive amounts of data (up to 50GB on one disc). Fantastic fro backups and archiving.
Being able to FINNALLY output edited Hi Def video/movies from Final Cut Studio onto a Blu-ray disc and then playing that on a dedicated external Blu-ray player elsewhere.
Booting-up in Bootcamp for attempting to play-back Blu-ray movies using windows drivers, software and built-in OS kernels. (I'm not a Windows person, but can't deny it can save the day where some things are concerned)
Future-proofing; if one day soon Apple smiles on us all and releases a system OS update that enables 'full' Blu-ray support (or some other upgrade)

I have noted that on numerous wish lists for Mac enhancements has been Blue Ray capability. I looked at the Fast mac web site and the specifications were impressive. When I saw the price, I had to have the Heimlich maneuver performed. This is not to dissuade you or anyone else to purchase one. It simply is a reflection of my cheapness ex. for me SSD are overpriced for the value received but I take no issue for those who but them.
What I find to be very peculiar is the issue of apparent compatibility with only pre-unibody MBPs. We know that these MBP are slower than the subsequent generations. Blu-ray vidio files are huge. To load, tranferr, edit and compile these such files is best served with a fast processor. To install this on an older MBP seem like simultanously taking a step forward and a step backward.
Your list of virtues has merit but I have to take exception with your 'Future Proofing'. Apple has a habit of going down the road less traveled. If and when they integrate Blu-ray capability in their MBPs, it does not follow that the Fast Mac drive will be the same or have software compatibility.
I have both a pre-unibody MBP and a unibody MBP. I have changed the optical drive on the old machine and I have just looked inside the newer one (when I upgraded the HHD). They both APPEAR to be identical but I suspect there may be subtle physical differences. Hence this may be the reason why it can be installed only pre-unibody MBPs. (I can be bribed to take the both out and compare them!)
I would suggest to contact the technical department at OWC and find out if they are familiar with this product and what opinions they may have. I have dealt with them on several occasions and they seem knowledgeable.
Ciao.

X200/201 Ultrabase Blu-Ray drive

Does anybody know if Lenovo made a Blu-ray drive for the X200/X201 Ultrabase?
I can't find one on the UK website, but a search on the web finds an old writer that cost £700.
I am only needing a ROM not a writer.

If you get a lenovo one, I would recommend FRU P/N: 45N7459 (aka Panasonic UJ242).
I am pretty sure the Panasonic UJ232A came before the Panasonic UJ242.
When I bought my Thinkpad x201 + Ultrabase x200 the BluRay Burner was listed as an option for the Ultrabase x200, but Lenevo did not have it available for purchase at the time. I did find a new BluRay Burner on a different website at purchase time for the Ultrabase x200. It cost a 1000 dollars. I did not buy the Burner for 1K.
However, I recently got a Panasonic UJ242 with Lenovo's name on it, and the part number above is correct.
If you want to look beyond the part number, I know that Dell has at least one model laptop with a Panasonic Drive that meets the height requirements, and Sony has at least one model laptop with a Panasonic Drive that meets the height requirements. However, the shape of the drive door for a Dell laptop or a Sony laptop may not meet the requirements for the Ultrabase x200.
I am not saying that the Panasonic UJ232A will not work, but I do not know where to get the proper BD-R media for it. I would guess a blank Philips BD-R disk would work based on the fact that a blank Philips DVD+R worked.
Happy Hunting.

Use of Pioneer BDR-2208 blu-ray drive with MacPro

Any suggestions for getting a Pioneer BDR-2208 blu-ray drive to work with a Mac Pro running OSX 10.8.3.? The machine recognizes the drive with the system profiler, but I was able to access it only one time and never again. It's installed in second position beneath the factory DVD drive, and pressing Option-Eject brings up a message box suggesting, incorrectly, that I have loaded a blank DVD and requesting an action. Pioneer tech support says that it was intended for use for a Windows machine, but indicates that 3rd-party software might enable its use on a Mac.

Have you tried Roxio Toast 11 Titanium?
This should provide all the functions you require but.... will not provide "all" features associated with the 2208.
"All" features are software based and currently written for Windows only.
I currently use the BDR-208 as my secondary optical drive and with Toast,.... it works perfectly.
Toast 11 Titanium provides Mac drivers for BD and BDXL media not included in Mountian Lion.
I too am considering the 2208 (due to BDXL) but seeking feedback like yours before I purchase.
If my budget allows.... I will try the 2208 with Toast 11 at some point but cannot provide anything but suggestion at this point in time.
Please let me know if this solves your troubles.

So what blu-ray drives will work nicely with the new FC?

So....well first...hi shane. ok, so.....is it as easy as plugging in a blu-ray drive to my macbook pro with leopard and the new final cut and burning hdv to a bluray disc right from the new compressor or is it not that easy?

Hi
i have an LG BE06LU11,
http://www.lge.com/us/computer-products/optical-media/LG-external-dvd-burner-BE0 6LU11.jsp
And yes it's plug and play-I have found you need to make sure the burner is plugged in and turned on before you open any windows to create bluray content. and best to only put in burning media when FCS asks for it which is after it has done the encoding.

DVD/CD/Blu-Ray Drive on HP Pavilion DV6 not working....

HP Pavilion DV6 with Blu-Ray
The DVD/CD/Blu-Ray drive suddenly stopped popping open or being recognized. I need to double check that there is nothing else I need to try to fix before having to buy a replacement part.
I've already tried....
1. reseting my computer back to factory settings (I know I had a virus or malware and then when it died I just decided to set the whole thing, but it didn't fix the dvd drive)
2. Removed cd. (I had to remove the drive to get the cd out. It was a library cd so I thought that the security strip on it might have caused a problem.)
After these two things it still isn't working. Everything else is fine. I just want to make sure there is nothing else I need to try or check before buying a replacement part.

Hi RavenMidnight,
For the DVD/CD/Blu-Ray drive no longer ejecting, there is not much troubleshooting that you can do to resolve the issue. I have included the document 'Opening a Stuck CD or DVD Drive Tray (Windows 7, Vista, XP)'. This document will show you two ways as a work around for opening the drive. When you do have the drive open, double check to make sure that there are no obstructions in the path of the tray.
If there are not obstructions, and the tray is still not functioning properly. I have included the document for 'Steps for Removing and Replacing the CD or DVD Drive'.
Please let me know if any of these steps have resolved the issue, thank you.

Installing a Blu-Ray Drive in my Mac Pro...

I am considering installing a Blu-Ray drive in my second drive location on my mac pro. The drive I am interested in is this one:
http://www.videoguys.com/bdr202.html
When I spoke with the gentlemen there, he advised me that he didn't believe it would fit in the Mac Pro. How could that be? Isn't there a standard size for all media drives like DVD, CD, and blu-ray drives? Anyone know for sure if this will fit?

It is a standard sized drive and WILL fit
Although you should always be mindful to be sure that you have remove ALL bezels which can interfere with the drive fitting else the drawer mechanism. The easy way to be sure is to make it look exactly like the SuperDrive. The one that is typically missed is the bezel that's right on the end of the drawer. It can be had to spot but it's there.

Satellite P200-1EE - Can I get a Blu-Ray drive for it?

At last, Toshiba have joined the BDA!!!!!!
Does any one know if or when they will release a Blu-Ray drive to replace the HD-DVD drives in a P200-1EE?
I know this post may be little premature but I have felt betrayed ever since buying the laptop and 3 weeks later Toshiba dropping the HD-DVD format.

Hi!
I dont know when Toshiba will release a Bluray drive that you can buy to exchange it with your HD-DVD drive.
But maybe a drive from another manufacture will also work on your notebook. In your case I would go to the nearest computer shop and ask for such a drive. Maybe you can test it in the shop if it works because not all drives are compatible with all notebooks (e. g. pin assignment).
Good luck!

ITunes caused my Blu-ray drive to be hidden

Hi,
I recently brought my Windows 7 computer in for repair because my Blu-Ray drive became hidden while watching one of my movies. The tech support guy said that iTunes was the culprit because it makes changes to the registry for burning CD's... So he told me just to reinstall iTunes. The only problem now is that when I reinstalled iTunes, I get the error message that the registry settings are missing. What do I do?

It'll most likely be a conflict in the device filters in your registry. The following document is a good place to begin with that sort of troubleshooting:

No eSATA, no USB 3.0, no Blu-ray drive in new MacPro's??

Did I miss something, I was going thru the specs and about to hit the Buy Now button, but I don't see any support for USB 3.0 and no option to add a Blu-ray drive?? Does anyone who plans to use a new MacPro work in something less than HD video? I can't remember the last time I burned a DVD.
For a base price of $5000 for 12 core, I kinda expected BD and USB 3.0 and eSATA. I know Intel server class motherboards (which is what Apple use) have USB 3.0. So I'm assuming the lack of BD drive and USB 3.0 is because of OS X limitation and not the hardware? But why no eSATA?
Is this the same deal as with my 2007 MacPro where the eSATA exist but I have to get a cable and backing plate to use them? As it stands right now my 2007 MacPro using eSATA BD drive is more capable than a New MacPro??
Please tell me I'm wrong? Can anyone clarify?
Thanks, Rob.

Tom,
Interesting -- I can see why BD was left out in OS (no secret Mr. Jobs hates Sony royalties), but not necessarily why it was left out as an optional drive (we have other software that can deal with BD authoring/burning). Like it or not, BD is here to stay and can't be ignored forever, it's a matter of fullfilling a consumer choice (regardless of Mr Job's feelings towards it).
Makes sense now that you've said the motherboard didn't get updated ... in motherboard terms staying with a 1+ year older motherboard in a new 2010 MacPro is definitely not ideal. Motherboard changes come out almost every 3 months to accomodate new onboard components.
I'm a fan of onboard hard wired components vs. plug-in card connections when it comes to data transfer specifications (like eSATA, USB 3.0, etc.) just because hard wire provides a better electrical connection.
May have to sit this update out until the motherboard gets updated. True, I could get USB 3.0, and eSATA with expansion cards ... but I've got plans for those slots and can't really spare them just for data transfer use ... onboard solution would have been much better for me.
Maybe all the Apple engineers were working on the iPhone 4 --- doooh!! Lets hope NOT!
Glad they offer ATI 5870, I have two of these in a Windows PC and they are very nice cards -- but noisey when pushed hard. Lets see how they work with Cinema 4D and Motion 4.
Apple's memory out to lunch but their SSD 512GB are actually pretty close to industry prices -- I always start with stripped base unit and get components from NewEgg for 1/3 of the price (in most cases).

How to know if my HP Pavilion Notebook can support Super Multi Blue-Ray drive?

Hi,
My HP laptop is:
HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment Notebook PC support
LM610EA#A2N
How to know if my HP Pavilion Notebook can support Blue-Ray drive?.
I need to install a Super Multi Blue-Ray drive, with these capabilites::: read and write all types of disc formats in one convenient package: CD±R, DVD ±R , CD±RW, DVD±RW, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM and Blu-ray disc.
If it can support, then I must purchase HP Blue-ray device, or I can purchase any other brands, such as LG 16x Internal Blu Ray/DVD/CD Burner Writer Drive + sata data & power cables .
First of all: my Optical drive is: LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support, and with the capabilities
hp CDDVDW TS-L633R
Media Type DVD Writer
Name hp CDDVDW TS-L633R
Availability Running/Full Power
Capabilities Random Access, Supports Writing, Supports Removable Media
Read capabilities CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW DL, DVD+R DL
Write capabilities CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL
Config Manager Error Code Device is working properly
Config Manager User Config FALSE
Drive E:
Media Loaded FALSE
SCSI Bus 0
SCSI Logical Unit 0
SCSI Port 0
SCSI Target Id 1
Status OK

Anyway, Could you please confirm for me this the Maximum resolution of my VGA is 1366 by 768 pixels, and cannot be extended.
That is correct. It cannot be extended. That is the limit for the built-in display. Using an external display that is capable of higher resolution might help in that matter but then you loose the portability of the laptop.
I came across a free BluRay player just this week, it is found here. Leawo Blu-ray player: http://www.leawo.org/blu-ray-player/
It is the only free BluRay player I have found.
That is about all I can do to help. The other possibility would be to get an external Bluray drive that can fulfill all your expectations, give you lightscribe, and possibly a BluRay player included with the purchase. It would be much less worrisome on your part and there would not be any modifications to the laptop.
