User questions & answers

Question:	does it work with dell optiplex 745 computer
Answer:	As Paul O. said, "No". This is only a DVD drive - just the hardware. It would normally be controlled by a computer. The computer then would handle the input from your VHS player and send the information to this drive. You will also need software (program) to make the format transfer.
Question:	does it work with windows
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Will this drive play Blu-Ray discs
Answer:	Yes! You can just set your Bios to (DVD or CD) as "first boot" then turn it on open drive load CD "OS" Windows/Linux whatever your flavor and it will work.Hope this helps!
Question:	Can i use this optical drive to install windows 10 oem pc disk
Answer:	A bunch of nonsense answers! Idiots! Yes. One of these works on my old mac pro 2009 but IIRC it took removing the black bezel on the front of the drive for it to work with the "stick your tounge out" mac keyboard commands. I don't recall offhand if my 2008 had sata or IDE for the optical. If SATA, then yes it would work there too, subject to removing the bezel (which pretty much snaps off). As for other flavors of macs...have no clue at all.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this play copies
Answer:	yes, there are other packs of 50.
Question:	Will this work on my Samsung tablet 7 which has windows and a C port
Answer:	These are standard "toy" motors, so the rated torque will likely be less than 9 g-cm. These are high rpm, so make sure to wear safety glasses when working with the gears, small pieces will fly off until you are good at building geared systems.
Question:	Is this compatible with a Samsung Chromebook
Answer:	Yes, great little kit.
Question:	Does this work with Chromebook
Answer:	I used this to make a simple kinder class project. A balsa wood slat with 1/8" dowels ran through straws that I hot glued to the underside. The wheels I found on Amazon in a bag of 100. Trick with mounting the motor is to be far enough away from the wheel it's turning that the rubber band is stretched enough to turn the dowel. The class did great with the cars and good instructions are on YouTube. I tired to leave a picture on the review of these parts

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this require two USB ports to work
Answer:	USB 2.0 is the *type* of USB port. Currently we are up to USB 3.0 which is even faster. This will work in a USB 3.0 port and you don't need blazing speed to read a DVD.
Question:	does it need external power or just usb
Answer:	no just power from USB port
Question:	I'm sorry. i'm computer illiterate. can i use this to burn my music to a dvd-rw disc
Answer:	I think it would burn music to a dvd-rw disc no problem, but if it was just music, and no video, you should only need a cd-rw disc and not a dvd disc. It burns anything! Good luck!
Question:	Does it work with Windows
Answer:	Perhaps this is info is too late, but I had this LG drive for about 6 months using it with Win-7.I just upgraded to Windows 10 last week, and the drive works just fine. I didn't have to update any drivers or anything.Unless Window 10 found the drivers and installed them in the background, so I didn't notice, but the bottom line is that it works fine.

Verbatim AZO DVD DL Media

The Verbatim AZO recording layer gives our DVD media the competitive advantage—the patented coating delivers protection that lasts generations and provides ultimate resistance to UV light damage. That’s why Verbatim’s been recognized as the No. 1 Optical Brand in the World*--we consistently provide optical media of the highest quality and compatibility. When drive manufacturers test their products for maximum performance, they use Verbatim--so why wouldn’t you?

*Source: SCCG CD, DVD 2003-2012

About Verbatim's AZO Technology

Mitsubishi Kagaku Media (MKM), Verbatim’s parent company in Japan, brings extensive technological research and development to the table. Core technologies, like the AZO recording layer give Verbatim an offering like no other optical manufacturer. This unique and ultra-stable layer strongly resists UV light, withstands high laser and rotation speeds on newer drives and ensures compatibility with current DVD standards.

Verbatim’s AZO recording layer not only withstands the extremely high laser and rotation speeds of newer drives, it also maximizes their performance. Verbatim paid particular attention to the durability and light fastness of AZO; tests show that it is more stable than most recording dyes and the least affected by ultraviolet light.

AZO also offers high sensitivity for reliable high-speed recording and high reflectivity to eliminate read errors. The thinness of the recording layer is also critical. The thinner the layer, the higher the sensitivity and power margin; therefore, the better the DVD works for high-speed recording.

What does all this mean for you? Verbatim AZO technology translates into optical products that cost just a little more but are worth the slight difference. They are products you want—offering reliability, high read and write performance, high-quality photos and sound and superior archival protection that lasts.

AZO Technology

Provides superior performance and reliability, no matter what you are saving. This patented Mitsubishi technology is the most reliable, high-quality optical technology on the market today, and it is only available from Verbatim!

Warranty

Verbatim manufactures our DVDs to meet our strict quality standards. We stand behind the quality of our products—and our Limited Lifetime Warranty proves it!

Compatibility

Our online reviews say it for us; we make DVDs that work--no coasters! Mitsubishi Kagaku Media (MKM), our parent company, has long-standing relationships with drive manufacturers who use our products to test their performance, making Verbatim DVDs the most compatible in the industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I record over video/audio/data stored on a DVD R DL disc?

No. DVD R DL discs are dual layer DVD’s designed for one-time recording.

Do DVD R DL discs require a special DVD burner?

Yes. DVD R DL discs require double layer writers for recording. Verbatim DVD R DL are approved for high speed burning, up to 6X speed, allowing you to store up to 8.5GB of video in approximately 16 minutes.

Will a DVD R DL play in my regular DVD player?

Yes. Verbatim DVD R DL discs are compatible with most DVD video players and DVD-ROM drives.

What does the plus and dash found in the format mean?

When DVD media technology was first developed, the plus and dash formats used different writing and reading specifications. Today, most DVD writers and readers now work with no noticeable performance differences between plus and dash formats. Check with your manufacturers’ suggestion of DVD format for the best compatibility—especially in older technology.

So how do I know which DVD to use?

Recordable optical media is a natural choice for data archiving and backup. Choosing a DVD+R DL or DVD-R DL is ideal, as these write-once discs hold twice the capacity of standard DVDs as well as preventing contents from being erased or mistakenly replaced. Double layer discs are also a great option simple data backup when saving larger files.

Archive

The word archive conjures up thoughts of old, dark libraries or musty basements. However, today’s version of archiving is much different. Archiving digital files simply means creating a safe storage place for important files. Archived data is often a permanent record that is moved, not copied, from one system to another and retained for a specified period of time. Archiving is an easy activity that preserves your data with just a little preparation.

It’s best to have several copies of your digital archives to store in different locations. That’s why Blu-ray discs, DVDs and CDs are a natural choice for archiving. They’re inexpensive, portable and easy to store. Make sure you are using the right disc--the disc name you use should have an R on the end meaning it is write once. A write once disc prevents you from erasing contents or mistakenly replacing data. Also, to extend the life of your disc, consider Archival Grade media that include a gold layer that is naturally resistant to corrosion offering greater protection than standard silver discs.

Backup

You probably leave your digital files tucked away on your computers’ hard drive—assuming they are safe. But what if your computer crashes or files get corrupted somehow? You might lose your digital photos, music and data. Forever. Good news—it is simple to backup your digital files and you can have working copies that are quickly accessible. Getting started is easy; it only requires a backup routine performed regularly and a safe place to store your digital files.

BD-RE, DVD-RW/-RAM and CD-RW discs are a great choice for quick back-ups. Re-writable media allows you to add and edit content. This works well for constantly changing information.

Storage

Whether creating an archive or a backup, always remember to store your discs in a sleeve or case. This will help ensure they are protected from fingerprints, accidental spills, dust and debris, protecting your files for decades to come.

The ideal way to store discs is in an upright (like a book) position in a CD/DVD/Blu-ray case. Ideally, discs should be stored in a location 60-75 degrees F with 35-50% relative humidity. Fluctuations in the storage area should not exceed +/- 2 degrees F. in temperature; relative humidity should not fluctuate more than +/- 5%.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you transfer VHS movies without going through a computer, on this device? thank you
Answer:	Yes, you simply insert the original in top slot, insert blank in bottom slot - close both slots and it begins the recording process. It is pretty fast, at least way way faster than my computer was. When it finishes, the bottom slot opens so you can remove your copied disc, a digital display reads " 0 failures", or "failure" if a disc is damaged or protected. Then you can insert another blank to copy same again - or remove both and insert new original on top and new blank on bottom. All you need is an outlet - no computer needed at all! I love it! Had mine for about 3 or 4 months - it is awesome!

User questions & answers

Question:	Did anyone have problems using this with windows
Answer:	Dec. 21, 2020: It's supposed to work with Windows 10 but it does not work. I didn't return it when I should have - hoped to get it to work but I didn't. Wasted money!
Question:	Will this play cd/dvd's on my lao top? is that what it is for
Answer:	Dec. 21, 2020: I have been unable to use this player. I wanted to return in but since it has so many positive reviews I decided to hang on to it and keep trying but it still is not working. Am I doing something wrong? I have an all-in-one HP with Windows 10 and it usually plays DVDs flawlessly but the DVD 'door' came off and it no longer works so I purchased this...it does not work. The disc goes in, then it makes all these grinding sounds and then-nothing. It stops. Before I throw it in the trash-any suggestions?
Question:	will this cd drive work for still photos and videos
Answer:	Yes!
Question:	Will I need to download a driver to install programs from CDs to my laptop or does it work like an internal drive since it's plug&play
Answer:	From page 5 of the Amicool User Manual: Precaution: Item 3. Whether the drive can be recognized depends on the internal driver program. Almost all older operating systems contain an internal driver program that can recognize the CD drive directly without installation. Please make sure that your computer has the internal driver program. If you don't have one yet, please feel free to contact us. We can send you a link to download a driver. I am waiting for a response from Amicool.

Product description

The PX-891SAF 24X internal DVD/CD Super Multi Writer is Plextor's newly improved half-height DVD Writer. The PX-891SAF reads and writes DVD/CD at blazing fast speed of 24X. The PX-891SAF had passed stringent testing procedure to ensure better compatibility of different media brands available today. It also incorporates new improved chassis design to tremendously reduce noise and greatly improve writing quality. At 24X speed, air flow can cause bothersome acoustic noise. Plextor's unique drive design regulates the air flows, reduces the amount of noise created, and enhances writing and reading quality.

• Highly accurate and reliable DVD recording at 24X. Supports full range of common DVD & CD formats including DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, DVD-RAM, CD-RW and CD-R.
• Secure Media Speed Stability - Ensures that media duplication speed does not exceed encoded maximum rates to provide better burning control and virtually eliminates bad burns.
• Enhanced Recording Stabilization Control - Ensures all drives in a single duplication environment burn uniformly to avoid disproportionate speed fluctuations, which lead either to failed discs or less compatible completed discs.
• Stable Recording Control - The drives have an extensive database of media specs and are better able to communicate and convey these details while burning the disc(s) at ultimate speed.
• Archival Burning Capability - Able to burn virtually all makes of specialty archival media, including the 1000 year M-Disc brand.
• Stable burning throughout - Provides consistent and reliable burning of any file type for the duration of the duplication progress to ensure the recorded media has far greater reliability of playback or that the discs will successfully copy to begin with.
• Less Wear and Tear - since there are fewer bad burns, the system is able to complete its jobs in less burns meaning a prolonged life for the drives themselves due to less use
• Industrial tray gears & pulleys - provides a more stable disc loading tray for a longer life cycle (1 cycle equals 1 tray extend from and then return into the drive)

Question:	Is this drive good for reading and burning cdg (karaoke) discs
Answer:	The batteries last 20-30 minutes (at best). Which does not allow for much play time. The boats were super fast and fun, but the lack of play time left a little to be desired.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with windows
Answer:	The key to this is the play along midi files. The expensive packet has more play along files than the less expensive ones. I got caught out with this variation in prices and realized too late that I ordered one with too little play along files. I hope that you make the right choice for your needs.

Question:	Can this play small camcorder dvds that are dvd-rw
Answer:	This program is really for the creation of Media (the making of Blu-Ray and DVD discs) rather than playback as a media player.
Question:	Will this work with a desktop iMac which has optical drive

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it include software for disc burning
Answer:	Hi Ricko,If the Tv has an HDMI input available you go from DVD player hdmi out to the TV using an HDMI cable if not RCA audio & video which are yellow for video Red for right side audio & white for left side audio. Look at the back of your directive box if it has an s video out use that for video to the dvd player & RCA audio cable red/white for sound. If the directive box does not have an S video out then use RCA cable.for audio & video.
Question:	Will this work with an ipad pro
Answer:	Yes, that is what I use it for exclusively. First I record a program on my dvr, then I play the DVR'd program while recording on the Toshiba. I have a component cable (3 prongs) that runs from my cable box (video, audio L and audio R out) to my Toshiba (video, audio L and audio R in). Works great. This also allows me to control when I start and stop the recording. Sometimes a movie will not last a full two hours, but will stop 10 minutes before to show "coming attractions," etc.
Question:	Can i load software onto my mac with this? mac no longer makes computers with a drive and i need to load some software that is not downloadable
Answer:	If you don't have a cable or satellite receiver and are receiving your tv signals with an antenna, you either have a tv with a digital tuner or a separate digital tuner/ converter box connected to your tv. If you're using a digital converter box from your antenna to the tv, connect the outputs from the digital converter box into the inputs of Toshiba DR430 Recorder and then connect the outputs of the recorder to the TV inputs. You will be connecting from the video (yellow jack), audio (red & white jacks) to the same colored jacks in & out from the Toshiba DVD Recorder to an input on the TV. If you're not using a digital converter box already for your local stations, you will have to buy one to connect to the Toshiba Recorder to record local shows because the recorder does not have a tuner in it. You can buy them for about $30 bucks at Wal-Mart or Radio Shack. I gave you a lot of information but it's easy to setup. They can guide you at Radio Shack. I have one box hooked just this way and it works fine. Hope this was of help.
Question:	Is this compatible with windows
Answer:	Some channels are copy-protected and will not record onto dvd....
Question:	what cables will i need to hook up to my direct tv and tv
Answer:	There is NO such thing as HDMI input on a DVD recorder. Part of HDMI is to prevent end users from recording copyrighted material so you will never see an hdMI input on anything but a TV.
Question:	can you record from cable dvr
Answer:	There are a few different ways that you can connect a cable box to the DMR-ES25S. I've mainly used the composite RCA outputs (red, white, and yellow cables) to connect with. Here is the manual that shows you different ways to connect the cable box to the unit: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/118163/Panasonic-Dmr-Es25.html?page=9#manual
Question:	This device can record tv local programs?. I mean I don't have cable company
Answer:	The DVD recorder's input connections are RF (coax), composite, and S-video. S-video is analog. If you have S-video output from your computer, and separate audio to the RCA jacks, it probably would work. Haven't tried it. If you're thinking about recording protected signals (say, play a protected DVD on your computer and record on the DVD Recorder), don't expect that would work because the electronics typically disrupt those signals from being recorded.
Question:	does it record cable tv directly to dvd disc
Answer:	Yes, absolutely.

User questions & answers

Question:	I've bought an external blu-ray drive before and been screwed. so i have to ask, will this actually play blu-ray discs i put in? like movies i own
Answer:	You will need additional software in order to play Blu-ray Discs. For windows they provide a free viewer, which I cannot comment on, since I own a Mac. For a Mac, I recommend Blu-ray Player Pro, which has a free version, but it has a watermark that does get annoying after awhile. The paid version is $35, and it works great. Hope that helps.
Question:	Can i copy a blu-ray from a blu-ray player using the hdmi output or usb on source player
Answer:	No HDMI is encrypted to prevent copying. However there is software available to make a copy from a blu ray or 4K disc to your hard drive and then burn another disk if you so desire using this drive.
Question:	whats the difference between this model and the pioneer xd05b
Answer:	greetins xd05b is No Longer Available, old model. atte.
Question:	Does it work with mac os x catalina (latest version
Answer:	Yes it does work with the latest version of Catalina. Be aware that to play Blu-ray discs, you will need to purchase a Blu-ray Disc software in order to use on a Mac. Blu-ray Player Pro works great, but it will set you back 39.99. Their free version has a watermark, which does become annoying.
