Unboxing: LG Super Multi Blue Internal Blu-Ray Disc Rewriter

[essentialeugene]

When you play a Blu Ray movie, the drive will work harder because Blu Ray has sharper image than DVD. There is lag time but you don't notice it. The more RAM you have the smoother your movies will play.

[Emexrulsier]

Just picked up this drive yesterday OEM version was surprised it included the disk as the manual does state its only included with the retail.

[cuzaca]

DOES THIS WORK ON A 400 WATT POWER SUPPLE IF NOT HOW MUCH POWER DO YOU NEED?

[IridiumVIII]

@cuzaca - Yes. It will work with a 400 watt power supply.

[cuzaca]

@IridiumVIII thank you very much, it just dosent say it on the box

[feedsmart]

Well when I got mine I got 1 Verbatim 6x Hard Coat with it. I put it to work right away. Got up to 7x burn on a Imation 4x Disk. So far working Great.

[mortonkd]

Gotcha bich! Man you look and sound just like Dave Chappelle.

@mortonkd

Gotcha bitch!! lol Chapelle's Show 3rd Season.

[v12tommy]

Wow, I have never seen one come in a box before. All the ones I have installed have come in a plastic bag with all the same hardware minus the box and the foam packing material.

[spearmintmonkey]

How has that burner been working?

[IridiumVIII]

@spearmintmonkey - Zero problems since install.

[skakky]

@IridiumVIII would this work on a mac?

[IridiumVIII]

@skakky - I'd imagine so but you can't quote me on that. I don't have a Mac............yet. 2012 =] I've seen several posts and forum topics on Blu Ray over at the MacRumors website [Digital Video forums] about using them like they would any other drive.

[IAPOD]

unless you really need a mac id pass on them ive had both desktops and laptops i personally dont recomend but i bought them from future shop so that could have been the problem but ill never go mac again only like garage band and found out i had to buy a hole track pack for 400$ just to get a decent amout of loops since i already spent 1300 on the 13 inch laptop the ram was pathetic the capacity was poor and the cpu trash speakers blew in 3 day could not get money back store credit

[Fredro6969iou]

Dam dude you should've waited picked it up for $99 and it came with blank BD-R and it writes 10x

[videogamerskater91]

how does this work? can you convert a dvd u own to a blu-ray? 

[IridiumVIII]

@videogamerskater91 - Not really. Standard DVDs don't have the same bit rates and aspect ratios of the content used in Blu-Ray. Standard DVD is 720x480 while Blu-Ray is 1920x1080. You would need to upconvert the standard DVD content and the end result wouldn't be all that great.

[gladio4ever]

How can I crack the country code lock?

[reynosoc11]

Good video but you should invest in an Opteka fisheye lens when you are filming close up to an object. Just a little friendly suggestion.

[jyonno]

Thank You!

[Altinator784]

Even though my graphics has hdmi. Do I need a hdmi monitor or will will my dvi monitor work with the blu-ray writer.

[ethanwwwwws]

is the power dvd 10 versionwith 3d

[kruff10]

i picked up the same 3 pack from microcenter for $ 8 99

and i have the super multi blu bd 10x

[hookmeupcasting]

can you burn a normal dvd-r with a blue-ray writer?

[IridiumVIII]

@hookmeupcasting - Yes. You can burn normal dvd-r/dvd+r/dvd-rw/dvd+rw as well as the cd equivalents with this drive.

[digitalblue9000]

wow is the best

[GreatestHooligan]

anyone pls tell me how my XP desktop can not recognize BLU ray format but can recognize DVD of "the same" drive (LG SuperMulti) . I put a dvd movie, it recognizes, but I put blu ray movie, it doesn't even read or appear any data.

[humbert0acevedo]

I found blank BD+R about $2 each.

[TheStiffmaster15]

good video!

[49kingify]

will this work with my net book if i buy the USB 2.0 to SATA cable?

[LLOYD19851012]

i want to get a blue ray rewriter, but need a HDCP monitor.

[onwb9]

No, you don't NEED it... It just works better that way.

[wetend123]

good video

[GRiZLOC]

Hey IRIDIUMVIII

Is that the LG BH08LS20? if so i have the same LG Optical BLU RAY burner and also i have the CH08LS10 BD-ROM DVD/Rewriter I really love it...

Check out my channel for the vids...

[jupiterleos]

What Up Bro, tell me how long does it take to write to a full 25GB disc in your estimation? That's good that you got the 8x model, I was holding out because the write speeds before was kind of slow.

[IridiumVIII]

I'll see if I can run a test some time this weekend by backing up some HD client footage

[jupiterleos]

Thanks man

[rviver1]

blu-rays are expensive! Have you heard about the new 500GB dvd? can't even imagine how much one of those will cost.

[IridiumVIII]

They are pricey at the moment. I've been using the ReWritables mostly. I've been hearing a lot about the Holographic storage media they're developing.

[GotekDarkSamurai]

Love the car choice on your wallpaper. I'm a huge Aston Martin fan.

[IridiumVIII]

They are sharp! Every now and again we'll see one on the road. I got that wallpaper from the Playstation Network

[laurenlead]

Were you using the NTG-2 for this video?

[IridiumVIII]

No, not this time. I'll be posting a video May 10th by request on how to use the NTG-2 on a camcorder without a built in line mic port. I'll be putting some sample audio recorded with that shotgun mic. In this video I used the built in mic of my camcorder.

[irishdigitaldiver]

great vid, thinking about getting one myself, let us know how this goes. I think a new monitor is taking priority atm though

[GlockNinja]

Man you get all the nice toys. By the way, if you need help with video work at weddings, let me know..I'll work for free just to learn. :-)

[IridiumVIII]

I'll actually be able to write it off once business license is approved. I could have used another set of hands 2 weekends ago so I'll keep you in mind.

[dcnutter]

True, the discs are expensive now, but they are similarly priced as the DVD discs were when they were new. So you're right...in time they will be better. However, man that's a lot of storage space on one double layer!

Did you happen to notice if this drive was sold as an external? I can look it up, but I thought I'd ask you.

Good to see you friend. It HAS been a long time, but at least you're keeping busy and making some money doing something you love. Keep it up! :)

[IridiumVIII]

Best Buy didn't have an external version of this drive. LG does make an external that burns at 6x - model: BE06LU11 but it also supports reading of both Blu-ray and HD DVD but at a higher price tag.

[nani1962]

Kickass video those are expensive to buy.

Does your logitech light up it's very slim aswell

[IridiumVIII]

Thanks. I'm working on a new format that I'll be rolling out 2nd week of June [new intro, format - etc.]. So the videos that I can get out this month will just be straight cuts. That Logitech does have white backlighting.
