User questions & answers

Question:	what's the difference of bp50nb40 and wp50nb40? they look exactly the same and specs look the same. What is different
Answer:	It means that you may use a M-Disk with this device. The M-Disk or Millenia Disk is an optical disc that provides more media preservation (documents, pictures, recordings or any digital data). For more info on M-Disk check the linkhttp://www.networkcomputing.com/storage/mdisc-review-a-thousand-years-of-storage/d/d-id/1099593?

User questions & answers

Question:	will this work well with a MacBook Pro
Answer:	So far I haven't seen or had any problems with my LG Blu-ray burner since I upgraded to Windows 10 Professional. It's running pretty great with no driver issues. Plus I didn't have to install or add any drivers for this Blu-ray burner. So I would say, Yes, It will work with Windows 10 just fine. :)
Question:	I need to buy second cord for this any suggestions for a replacement cord
Answer:	I would recommend the free application ImgBurn. It supports BDLX, M-DISC and many other formats. Nero Burning ROM does support M-DISC, however you will need the full version. Nero Burning ROM 2019 and Nero Platinum Suite are two of their products that support M-DISC.
Question:	I have desktop computer, upgraded to windows 10. have windows media player & vlc. will i need to download a 3rd party app to play store bought movies
Answer:	It can pass through both if you have a proper sound setup that is compatible with Dolby atoms and dts x
Question:	Can I use this on a 4K tv
Answer:	Some people have reported an error code 01003 in PowerDVD... however this is user error not drive error. Quote PowerDVD: "your graphic processor doesn't support Ultra HD Blu-ray movie playback, or the driver is not up-to-date." Meaning your graphics card, or possibly your monitor is not compatible with the type of media. That said the drive can handle it, but that might not be enough to get it to work depending on your system. You might have to upgrade other components as well.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it play commercail bluray movies
Answer:	I only use for ripping cds. As to noise it appears to depend, in my case, on the cd. Some are quiet. Some loud. I have burned cds.
Question:	Does the Cyberlink software that comes with the burner support windows 8.1 and above (Windows 10)? Or do you have to buy the upgrade
Answer:	Box says, Interface : USB 2.0 (3.0 compatible)
Question:	Can i use this blu raywriter on tablets like the lg cd writers?have 1 works well but want upgrade
Answer:	I volunteer at a boarding school for troubled teens fixing their computers and I have used it to install Windows 8.1 on an Asus laptop, it then worked just fine in windows. Windows recognized the unit with the built-in drivers. I'm actually having the school buy one that they can use when I'm not there. I also like this product because there is no power supply and it only needs one USB cable. Less wires the better! :)
Question:	Do i have to use m discs only with this drive? also, is there a certain software that you would recommend to be able to use it to watch blu-ray discs
Answer:	I got one of these. It came with one 1-port cable. I am able to use it that way on a USB 3 hub on a PC.I did order a Y cable that I have not needed to use. My current laptop does have a DVD drive. My next computer probably will not have one.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is m disk support
Answer:	Wheeled Dolly will only fit the 20 gal and above and will not fit this 10 gal Brute. The 10 gal Brute has a flat bottom and no way to attach a dolly. Hope this helps.
Question:	does this device need 1 or 2 USB ports
Answer:	Thank you for choosing Rubbermaid Home Solutions. Our goal is to provide our customers with the highest quality and service. Amazon does state there is a lock that isn't included. You may also find this in the description on our Rubbermaid website.
Question:	Is this compatible with Windows
Answer:	We think it would be best to build an additional solid platform to set it on and attach the wheels to the platform for best support. Also bolt the cabinet to the platform for safety. We don't feel it has enough structure at the bottom to support the weight if the wheels would be directly bolted to the cabinet without the support of the floor underneath. We are very pleased with the cabinet though and would definitely buy another one. Becky
Question:	IS this CDR or CD RW & DVD-R or DVD-RW (or both
Answer:	The shelving would need to be used with this cabinet.
