How can I write a DVD blu - ray on a mac?

How can I write a DVD blu - ray on a mac? I tried a blu - ray burner and (if necessary) the software to use.

I found the BE14NU40, BD playback/BD write LG, but I don't know if it's Mac compatible.

Can anyone advice a good burner + software?

I used one of them for several years and it works very well with Mac:

    Hi Chris

    CD and DVD burning and playback with different readers are a never-ending story.
    I use an external burner and believe me; I tested more than 10 different media from different manufacturers.
    I could burn some media but not read and read but not burn :(
    I think you should also test different DVD.

    In my manual, I found a list with the CD and DVD compatible. Eventually, you will also find the same list of supported media in the pre-installed user manual you.

  • How can I get my dvd player to play blu ray discs.

    The software plays fine other DVDs, but won't play Blu Ray. This is the Pavilion dv7 3165 with operating system Windows 7 Premium. I never succeeded with this problem and thought that he would solve with updates...

    Download Cyberlink Power DVD10 and save it to the desktop, not in a temporary folder

    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp53001-53500/sp53029.ex

    After it's over, do a right click and go to properties and you should see what is in the screenshot.

    There has been many problems with software programs of virus blocking critical files in the player (s) Blu - ray. For the most part, disable the antivirus or programs was sufficient, but with McAfee, it had to be completely uninstalled. If at this point, uninstall your antivirus software, no matter what it is, and if there is a special tool required by the developer to uninstall properly, use their tool when it will exist. I know Norton and, possibly, Avira requires an uninstall tool.

    Once it is uninstalled restart your laptop and you will get the warning typical of Windows that the world will come to an end to crash, because you do not have an anti virus program on your computer. Just ignore it and continue with the installation of power DVD10, note that it is important that you stay connected to the internet, the software to install correctly. The link is directly from the view of HP it is has no viruses, Trojans etc attached.

    After it is done installing, restart your machine. This is important.

    After the restart, go to control panel, then Auto Play and make sure power DVD10 is chosen for Blu - ray discs, if it has not been chosen click the menu drop down and choose to do and save the setting. Restart your computer and go back to auto play and make sure that the setting has been saved.

    Then, open the drawer of the DVD/Blu-ray with the button on the front of the drawer itself and leave the charge for Blu - ray automatically with the opening of Cyberlink DVD 10

    At this point, you can reinstall your anti virus software if the drive Blu - ray continues to work then you will have to go into the advanced settings and find which files are blocked in the drive and let them. It's not always easy, so I advise to use ESET (not free) or Microsoft Security Essentials (free). I have used in the past and they never gave me any problems with my Blu - ray players.

  • Qosmio G50-129 - can I have it with Blu - ray?

    I was looking for a laptop for a few weeks now and I fell on the Toshiba Qosmio G50-129. I had already seen the X 300 range, which had the quad processor, I prefer, but I did not like the colors of this laptop "boy racer".

    I thought that the G50 was a reasonable compromise - the high-end core 2 duo processor 800 GB of disk space and lots of features. Only two issues I have with this machine is the 32-bit version of Vista (why don't they provide 64-bit - I'll never understand this) and the lack of Blu - ray.

    Now, I'm not a fanatic of DVD or something else that I appreciate that the Blu - ray is the format that is there to stay. To this end, I have a small collection of DVD Blu - ray that I can play on my PS3 and my DVD Blu - ray player hooked up to my surround sound system.

    Can someone please explain to me why Toshiba produced this stunning notebook G50 - 129, but for A £1 499 it does not include a Blu - ray player? Are they crazy? I don't like that they have lost the race format by backing the wrong horse, I expect to get the Blu - ray on A £1. 5K laptop!

    Unfortunately, Toshiba you lost my business as a result of this omission. Too bad you didn't just accept that Blu - ray is here to stay and accept him as most of the other manufacturers.

    Hello

    As you know different notebooks from different manufacturers have different material combination.
    Is that Qosmio G50 doesn't support Blu - Ray player, but this machine has other benefits.

    It was equipped with the Toshiba Quad Core HD processor, that can turn ordinary DVDs in HD quality.
    So you can play DVDs using the internal player and you will get an almost the same quality as a Bluray drive.
    In this case you don't need to buy a new BluRay drive, but you can watch the DVD movies in HD quality!

    However, I searched here in the forum for similar and found issues these topics:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=139719

    It might be interesting for you.

    Finally, I must say that I would not buy a laptop just because of the Blu - Ray player.
    For me it s more interesting a CPU, graphics card, RAM, because these are the parts that are needed for games, multimedia, etc.
    Of course, the blue ray player would be a nice extra but I have a PS3 too and it was already fitted blue ray player

    If this player is not really necessary for me

    ===========================================================

    The system has RAID? If so, it's also very suspicious.

    This error is usually a driver problem and display adapter (video) driver is the most suspicious if she
    may be others. Antivirus/antispyware/security programs, equipment (heat) and major software problems
    can also cause the error. When you get to the section of the driver to use the Troubleshoot utility my generic
    methods in the next message and then return to the if necessary troubleshooting tool.

    Have you recently added hardware or drivers updated? Don't forget to look in Control Panel - Windows
    Updates to see if all drivers have been updated it. Other donor opportunities include the antivirus/anti-
    spyware/security programs.

    When you get to the pilot and sections of the memory of the troubleshooter check the following message to
    update drivers and memory test and then return to the troubleshooter if necessary.

    BCCode: 7F 0x0000007E which is also 0x1000007E

    Cause

    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug control is a very common bug control. TO
    interpret, you must identify which exception has been generated.

    Common exception codes are:

    • 0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation has occurred.

    For a complete list of exception codes, see the Ntstatus.h file located in theinc directory
    the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

    Solve the problem

    If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques.

    • Make sure you have enough disk space.
    • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the
    • Reference of the manufacturer for driver updates.
    • Try changing video cards.
    • Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
    • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

    If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2
    (the address of the exception) must identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

    If the exception code 0 x 80000003 occurs, a hard-coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but the system
    has been launched with the /nodebug. switch. This problem should occur infrequently. If it occurs repeatedly,
    Make sure that a kernel debugger is connected and the system is booted with the Switch/DEBUG .

    In case of exception code 0 x 80000002, the trap frame provides additional information.

    If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following questions:

    • Hardware incompatibility. Make sure all new hardware that is installed is listed in the
    • List of Microsoft Windows Marketplace tested products.
    • Service driver or defective peripheral system. A service driver or defective peripheral system can be
    • responsible for this error. Hardware problems, such as the incompatibilities of the BIOS, memory, conflicts
    • and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

    If a driver is listed by name in the bug check message, disable or remove that driver. Disable
    or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during startup
    sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use safe
    Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the system startup procedure
    in Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

    If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third remote
    control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the boot of the computer service
    by using the Recovery Console, and then by removing the offending system service file.

    Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the
    device or the driver that generated the bug check 0x7E.

    You can also disable memory cache BIOS may try to resolve the error. You should also
    Run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system.
    For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

    The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or
    Once the installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and system
    BIOS incompatibilities. For problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with the absence of disc
    space, reduce the number of files on the disk drive hard target. Find and delete any temporary
    the files that you do not have to have files hidden Internet, backup application and.chkfiles files that
    contain fragments of file saved to disk scans. You can also use another hard drive with more drive
    free space for the installation. You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS.

    If all the accents you need are not available from an English keyboard, you can still list a French KB language as a 'second choice' and switch to it when you need an accented letter.
