blu-ray

Hey all, this is both a solution and question thread. I've had an LG BP50NB40. for the last several years, that has worked flawlessly on my 5K 27", late 2015 iMac. It has worked flawlessly with the main connector of the usb Y plug connected to one of the Mac's USB 3.0 ports. At the beginning...

Sometimes I use Compressor to burn a DVD or Blu-ray of a film I have made but I can no longer seem to do this with compressor 4.8 Did Apple really take away this feature or am I missing something here?

Hi There, I foolishly installed 13.5 thinking it was the critical security update from a few weeks back but upon restart, I got an extensions error. 'Open System Settings' or restarting did nothing so after a 40min call with Apple, we finally found the subtle text which allows you to rebuild...

Hello. I am in the process of trying to find an external Blu-Ray/DVD drive for my Dad's M1 MacBook Pro. He will be using it primarily to watch Blu-Ray and DVD movies so playback is his focus as apposed to burning/writing. I want to future proof it as much as possible and would be...

Hello, I am looking for an external UHD/Blu-Ray drive that has been confirmed to work on a Mac. I have been reading a few threads on the MakeMKV site and also some reviews from Amazon. I would rather not have to flash a drive, as I know the Pioneer drives are supposed to work out of the box...

Good day fellow Mac Users I am wanting to migrate my DVD and Blu-ray collection of disks to my Plex instance on my Synology NAS. I have a 2017 MacBook Pro and am looking for recommendations on affordable tools and hardware to accomplish this. while I have used the USB SuperDrive and Hand Break...

I decided a while back that I am no longer buying digital media from iTunes or anything similar, and going back to adding to my already large physical media collection for movies, TV Shows, and music. I am adding all my content to my Plex server, and while my storage for Plex is very large, I am...

For the 27-inch iMac I would like to be able to watch my Blu-ray discs on it and possibly burn the disc so I can include footage in my YouTube film reviews (that part is still up in the air for me since I don't know what kind of copyright infringements I could possibly get). Since the Apple USB...

Are there any free Blu Ray rip apps around? Which would you recommend?

Hey all, I have a Plex media server that I've ripped lots of my Blu-rays and DVDs to. Everyone at home can then stream them over the network from the Plex to their iPads, laptops, etc. I want to purchase a film from iTunes (buy it, not rent it) but wanted to find out if iTunes provides me with...

Hi- I hope I can explain the situation properly - seemingly several places with several potential issues that I do't know where along the line the problem is. Short version is that my Blu Ray suddenly stopped connecting to internet . Network settings does not show my WiFi network name (though...

Hi there, I want to buy an external LG Blu-Ray burner to archive some data. I've read that I can use the built-in MacOS feature for burning BRs. Is that true for M-Discs as well? Can I read BR M-Discs burnt by Mac from a Windows Machine? (Never had a BR burner; but e.g. for CDs there was the...

I've already asked something similar to this a while ago, but I thought I may try and rephrase my questions and what I am looking for. Anyway... I am planning to take on a personal Blu-ray project (that takes on as close to the look and feel of an actual, physical, Blu-ray release you'd pick-up...

Hey everyone, Sorry if this comes off as a bit newbish, but that's what it kind of is. My iMac is from 2008 and it has become kind of a dinosaur and is pretty much no good for anything more than managing iTunes and surfing the web. Editing and creating video projects, etc. has become a big...
