    13.5 Broken Extensions, Can't Burn Archive Discs

    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...

    Blu-ray Optical Drive for iMac

    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...

    Burning BR M-Disc

    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...

    iMac & Software for Blu-ray editing?

    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...
