Hi. Hope someone can help! I'm desperately trying to copy my own (bought) bluray copy of Casino Royale and Spiderman 3 onto an external harddrive. Unfortunately, I have little idea how to do this using my Mac Pro and internal Liteon iHOS104 BDROM (just bought). I do have AnyDVD (latest version) as a trial but which I intend to buy if this can help my initial tasks here. I want to retain (if possible) the menus, 1080P video quality and audio (DTS-MA & TRUE-HD included, but only the English language audio is needed). However, I am quite naive as to what other software I need to use. According to VSO, Blindwrite is supposed to make a 1:1 copy, but it creates numerous "B" files which I'm not sure how to deal with. I've read that MKV is the type of file I need to preserve quality in copying to my Harddrive, and I have downloaded a trial MakeMKV. Can anyone possibly give me some advice? Thanks. Rav.
Apologies. My mistake. I realised I only needed to right click on the fox icon in the tray to use that function. Thanks.
Hi. I'm still waiting for a proper review myself but I can give you my very limited and very brief experience so far. I bought it as I believe the drive is the cheapest sata BDROM drive around so far. It performs well in reading BDRs and Dvds from my original bluray collection and dvd movies, but I haven't tried to burn any DVD discs with it. It works well on my Mac Pro and Anydvd so I've no complaints so far. I must admit it was a real pain to set up in my Mac Pro as I don't have accessible sata ports on my motherboard. Furthermore, once connected, I did have lengthy problems in getting my computer to recognise it. But this is a problem of the architecture of my Mac Pro and not the BDrom device itself. The software in the pack is Powerdvd 8 not 9. I think definitely worth a try. Rav.
