User questions & answers

Question:	Does this burner and software work with apple computers

Question:	It work with mac osx
Answer:	We received the product in about a week.
Question:	We are only allowed to use M-Disc, is it certified to burn them

Question:	Why does all my burning software identify this burner as a pioneer bdr-209m? Contacted Buffalo, still waiting

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with windows
Answer:	It should work with Windows 8 though I only used with Windows 10. If you insert a DVD and a video player does not start up, you may need a player that will recognize the drive. On a recommendation from a friend, I installed "VLC media player" and this app opens when I insert a DVD into the Riodadas player. VLC is a free and open source media player that works with all Windows versions. You can get the player here: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Question:	Can this be used to install windows 10 without the need to somehow install a driver first? it's rather tough to do that when trying to install an os
Answer:	This is basically a laptop optical drive in an external case with USB connection. I would think so. If the installation disk contains the installation software and the computer can access a USB device then it should. Changes to the boot device may be required.
Question:	Does this play games like sims
Answer:	It's played all my games without so much of a skip.
Question:	Does this work on macs
Answer:	Won't work with Mac 10.15.7! It was working before; now it seems useless. I see someone else is having this issue.

• Premium external UHD 4K Blu-Ray Writer Super-Muti drive.
• Support M-DISC BD-R. CNC aluminum body.
• The UHD blu-ray drive can read UHD, read and write regular Blu-Ray, DVD, and CD with proper software. For regular blu-ray, DVD and CD, you can use whatever applicable software that come with your computer, or search for the proper software to install on your computer.For playback UHD blu-ray, we recommend using “CyberLink PowerDVD”. It is a 3rd party software that require additional purchase, and it is the only one that we found is reliable.
• Please make sure your equipment meet the CyberLink PowerDVD requirement by going through a test by search " Ultra HD Blu-ray Advisor " before purchase. Please note that Cyberlink PowerDVD currently has only PC version. For MAC users there is no suitable UHD blu-ray software yet to the best of our knowledge. So on Mac computer you can only play and write regular blu-ray, DVD, and CD but not the UHD.
• Do not use illegal downgrade firmware or playback software. It may damage the functionality of the UHD drive.

User questions & answers

Question:	Just want to confirm this drive will play UHD disks as there is one review saying yes and one saying no
Answer:	Yes, after downgrading my firmware to 1.00 MakeMKV like everyone says, it still could not decrypt the disc. I also tried AnyDVD and it couldn't either. The firmware downgrade worked because I successfully performed a rip with DVDFab with no issues whatsoever. Unfortunately, AnyDVD and MakeMKV haven't figured it out yet.
Question:	So is this really window pc compatible? what does it mean by blu-ray software needed
Answer:	No, per the description of the product. The description clearly states that it *reads* 4K UHD. It reads *and writes* all other formats.
Question:	Has anyone used this for 4k uhd blu-ray backup with makemkv
Answer:	It worked on my iMac desktop for a minute or so and was never heard from again. Even though I bought it a while ago, this is the second time I tried to use it... no luck.
Question:	Does this drive truly burn bd-xl / uhd / 4k disks
Answer:	Hello, yes, it can work with your MacBook Air. Please notice that the Slim USB External DVD Drive Burner is special designed for the Apple Macbook, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air or other PC or Laptop without internal drive. No eject button design, powered by USB port from your PC or Laptop, plug and play. Thank you for your attention.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this play all 3D blu ray discs
Answer:	Theoretically, it should play all 3D discs since all 3D discs are 2D discs with an extra angle for the left or right eye.
Question:	comes with installation CD for Mac
Answer:	I just emailed them with that question. What i am really wondering, is what I paid $149 for, instead of getting the one that cost $116. haha But, the stuff on the disc cannot be installed on a Mac. It is in .exe format. So, no go there.
Question:	Does it work with windows
Answer:	Th good news is that it works fine with Win10 and Win10 Pro. The bad news is that it is mechanically a very odd machine and difficult to use. The strange-shaped on-off switch on the back is hard to use and inconvenient. The front right corner "button" that opens-closes the disc tray is very hard to see & use, works sometimes, other times only with great difficulty. Very peculiar designed machine, and I have relegated it to a distant, seldom used #3 of my 3 Blu-ray recorder-players.
Question:	Can you just play Blue Ray movies in it
Answer:	Long reply ahead, but this is useful information for anyone new to Blu Ray on PC. Unlike DVD and CD before it, Blu-ray is built with some pretty hefty encryption designed to stop piracy. To (legally) decrypt Blu-ray movies, a programmer needs to pay exorbitant fees to Sony. Cyberlink and various other companies pay this fee, and ironically, Microsoft has to pay it for every XBox One they make. So, every Blu-ray drive for PC has to make a choice: bundle a copy of some program that owns a Blu-ray license, or just deal with only being a backup solution for a small price decrease. No Blu-ray drive is going to play Blu-ray movies out of the box. You can spend $20 or $200+, but you still need licensed software to play the movies. Unfortunately, the best choice right now is Cyberlink and their PowerDVD. Alternatively, they're *are* programs out there that let you simply copy or rip the Blu-ray, but those are of questionable legality and usually require an expensive ($100+ per year) subscription. If all you're after is something to play movies, I really just recommend a $60 4k Blu-ray player or a PS4/XBox One. PowerDVD runs $60 here in Amazon, so you'd be paying the same for a physical device as you would a piece of code.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I tell the cables apart
Answer:	headset. this product it is terrible. it causes noise on the system and affects the speakers and the headset. There are better audio switches out there.
Question:	What is an integrated f cable for
Answer:	No
Question:	is this device compatible with Surface Pro 3 & Windows
Answer:	Hi Tjay! I have the headset switcher you are considering, and it works great, but it is really made for attaching a microphone, speakers, and a headset to one computer. I would not recomend it for your application. However, if you search Amazon for "audio switch box" you will find many low cost switch selectors designed to connect multiple audio/video (A/V) devices to one A/V device. Most of these switch selectors are not too expensive, plus they give you video options you may want to use later. For your present need you will utilize only the audio inputs and outputs, all of which support stereo. Your biggest challenge may be that most of the switch boxes utilize only RCA-type audio jacks. Your computer, ipad, aand iphone probably use only miniature plug-in connections (3.5 mm); for some of the switch boxes you will have to purchase one or more "Y-adaptors" to converts RCA to 3.5 mm. One Y-adaptor sold by Amazon is listed as "2 x RCA Male, 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable 6-Inch" (about $3 + free shipping). A few of the switch boxes you may want to look at are listed as: 1) "Gino PC Monitoring 4 In 1 Out VGA Ports Audio Switch Box Blk" ($23 with four 3.5 mm inputs and four VGA inputs, plus one 3.5 mm output and one VGA output. Probably your best choice); 2) "Sima SVS-14 4 Input Manual A/V Selector" ($16 with four RCA A/V inputs, one RCA A/V output, plus a 3.5 mm headphone jack to monitor audio inputs); 3) "3-Way Audio Video AV RCA Switch Selector Box Splitter For XBOX XBOX360 DVD PS2 PS3 with AV Cable" ($4 with three RCA A/V inputs and one RCA A/V outputs); and 4) "TCC TC-716 6-Way Stereo Source Selector; BLACK VERSION" ($30 with six RCA A/V input/outputs, four of which are RCA and two, 3.5 mm. With this device, multiple inputs can be monitored at the same time and you would only have to purchase one Y-adaptor). I would say your best choice may be the Gino device because all the audio inputs and outputs have 3.5 mm connections (no Y-adaptors are necesary). Hope this helps. Blessings to you!
Question:	Does the Cyberlink media suite work with Windows
Answer:	It will work, but he will be conforming to an unbalanced signal, so he'll run the risk of getting some buzz and hum.
Question:	Anyone use this just for kb/mouse but not video? i use an hd tv as a monitor and have extra hdmi on the t.v. so only need the kb/mouse functions
Answer:	Yes, you will just need a 1/4” to headphone jack adapter if your headphones do not already have a 1/4” connector.
Question:	The switch fails about 1 of 100 switches and I can't recover mouse/keyboard function without restarting the system I am switching to. Any fixes
Answer:	I don't quite understand the question, what do you mean by external sound? Basically this device can act as a "3 input to 1 output" switch or "1 input to 3 outputs" switch. It is a passive device. So if you have several audio sources connected to one speaker pair, then you will be able to switch from one source to another and hear them separately in your speakers. Or if you have 3 pairs of speakers and you have a single audio signal, you can switch from one pair of speakers to another and listen to how the music sounds on different speakers.
Question:	Does it work with Linux
Answer:	I would suspect you can. I run 3 different line level synths using this device. Works great.
Question:	Can you use a keyboard key/hot key to switch computers
Answer:	There is no impedance protection on or off button on the selector box.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it work with 4k
Answer:	This is just a switch, it does not provide amplification etc... No reason it couldn't if you used a cable to go to a speaker instead of the headset output. Of course just ignore the Mic connections.
Question:	will it work with usb type c
Answer:	Never had that issue with mine.
Question:	does anyone else experience the same problem with having trouble closing the front slot of the drive and the front slot doesn't close properly
Answer:	There's not a mute button, but the entire top rotates as a volume control. You can turn it completely down to effectively mute, and it's quick and easy to spin.
Question:	What is the usb hook up
Answer:	Contact the seller. Amazon will assist you in obtaining what should have been delivered as a part of your purchase.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work on mac os mojave
Answer:	Just tested on my macbook pro 15.6 (2016) running mojave and it works
Question:	I have a question will this be able to play on a lg blu-ray home theatre system or a tv ? if i plug in the usb in the input
Answer:	No this is windows/Mac OS does not work on android TV’s. I am building a windows 10 high speed computer. Then I am hooking up this to my 55” tv using it as a monitor then will be able to watch blue ray through the computer to the tv. If you have a windows 10 computer that has an hdmi port and has usb 3.0 hook you’re computer through the hdmi. Otherwise you need to get a regular blue ray player to hook to your tv.
Question:	Does this support mdisk. if so does it support 25gb, 100gb or 125gb mdisk
Answer:	According to Pioneer's site, single double and triple layer m-discs are supported. Since 125gb is quad layer, it might not be supported by this burner but other sizes will. https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/Computer+Drives/BDR-XD07B
Question:	Will it work with a usb-c adaptor? my new dell laptop only has usb-c
Answer:	I just received this product. It doesn't have a USB-C cable, but the cable included is NOT proprietary. It's a standard USB 3.0 cable, similar to those included with USB 3.0 HDDs. The only difference is it's white, and it's very short.
