The drive does work on my 2013 MacBook Pro with OSX 10.9. It gets recognized as a storage device without problem. You don't need any special device driver.

Panasonic Uj-260 External Blu-ray Disc Burner

If you want to play unencrypted Blurays, you can do it with VLC player. If you want to go with encrypted ones, you need some additional stuff for VLC (do a google search on the subject) or buy one of the SW players mentioned above. You can also try makemkv for more interesting things to do with blurays. Another tool called handbrake can help you to convert bluray video / audio formats for use with standard video / audio SW. To reiterate some of the things already mentioned. No Blu-ray drive you can purchase comes with any type of Mac software for viewing Blu-ray disks, or writing Blu-ray movies. OS X can burn a Blu-ray data disk with the built in Burn utility.

The playback software MichelPM already named are really all by the same company. Or at least, they all used the same template. The only thing that's different between them is the design of the interface itself. Just looking at each web site tells you they're all the same. They also all time out and force you to buy the overpriced software. Is truly free.

At least it was when I first got it. Your only requirement is to provide an email address to get a one-time, permanent activation code. I was pleasantly surprised this didn't lead to an onslaught of spam emails. It remains free for use with small ads for YouTube, Google+ and others stuck to the interface, which you can hide by changing the view to full screen. If you want, or need the extra goodies the paid version has, you can upgrade, but you don't have to. Don't waste your money on the Pro version.

It adds basically a bunch of useless shovelware to the mix. It says HD authoring for that, and not the standard version, but that is incorrect. The necessary Blu-ray movie plugin used to be included with the Pro version, but hasn't been for quite a while now. You have to purchase it for either, so there's no sense spending the extra money on the Pro box. It's also silly to purchase it directly from Corel/Roxio for $80.

Strangely, it's $1 more for the electronic download. Secondly, you must also purchase the in order to create Blu-ray movie disks. Like OS X, Toast will also create data disks without the plugin. But only data disks.

Lastly, Toast has a never-ending. When one ends, they start another one. So, you buy the software from Amazon for $38. The plugin from Roxio/Corel for $20. Then you send in the rebate to get that $20 back.

Total cost of $38. Be aware that while you can author Blu-ray disks with Toast Titanium, your options are rather limited. You get a fair number of opening screen backgrounds to choose from and can enter disk and move titles of your own, but it otherwise automates most of the rest, so you don't have a whole lot of control over how the final disk looks. The only other way is to spend much more on Adobe's Production Premium CS6 package, which is their video suite.

That includes (among other things) Premiere Pro for editing your video, and Encore for authoring. Kind of a steep learning curve too if you've never used it. Apple Footer. This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
