Quality was fine as you would expect from a Canon product

that way you can get your money back easily if it plays up

I bought the "Software Included Bulk Version" (£80.99 at time of purchase) but they sent me the "Software Not Included" version (£62) so i got in touch with Amazon customer support through the webchat service, and they refunded me the difference, so i'm very happy with that. Thanks again Amazon!The drive arrived in the plain brown Amazon shipping box in an open bag with some padding. The drive looked new and didn't display any signs of prior use at all, and of course the drive works as intended and also works better than ever now that i downgraded the firmware from 1.04 to WH16NS60 1.02MK.On another note, i think it is absolutely disgusting that viewing 4K UHD movies is locked to the Intel platform to start with, and that i had to go out of my way to get a drive AND firmware to enable the drive so that it can be 'used' to 'watch' them.When you first try to run a 4K UHD in the CyberLink player, you will be presented with an error telling you to "install SGX PSW" and when you download it and try to install it, you're met with yet another error, that it cannot be installed because you're on the wrong platform!So, in order to watch your 4K UHD discs on PC, that you bought, the big wigs in the movie business, you know, the big brained woke ones, came up with a novel DRM idea of trying to get you to buy an very expensive Intel based system! LOL No.Just buy one of these drives, or any of the others on the 'friendly drive' list, and downgrade your firmware and use something like DVDfab or MakeMKV to be able to watch your 4K UHD movies!It's YOUR disc, you bought it, you should be able to watch it from the disc on your AMD based system!.

Competitive price with all the features and Windows 10 compatible software. You must have software to use Blu-ray, and this item has it bundled with cable and screws too!

Tyst, gör vad den skall på bästa sätt, lätt att modda till att läsa UHD

Acheté ce lecteur il y a 3 ans pour une config PC. Je n’ai utilisé que des DVD depuis. Je mets pour la première fois un disque blue-ray et me rends compte qu’il ne détecte pas les disques blu-ray (no disc error). Il semble que la lentille laser blu-ray est morte sans avoir même été utilisée…

Compré esta grabadora Bluray para usarla como reproductor en mi HTPC. Gracias a un sencillo proceso de downgrade de firmware (no oficial), la unidad puede leer tanto BD como UHD 4K y usar reproductores que se beneficien del procesado de vídeo con MadVR. Funciona a la perfección, muy contento con la compra. Como nota añadir que la unidad viene sin caja, simplemente envuelta en plástico con los tornillos, CD de instalación y manual de uso.

Lo uso come unità esterna con apposito adattatore. Masterizzati finora circa 50 dischi, fra Blu Ray e DVD, nessun tipo di problema riscontrato.

Guter Brenner mit Firmware Downgrade spielt das Teil sogar UHD Disc ab.Brennt bis jetzt zuverlässig BluRays. Verbatim und MediaRange getestet (6x) und Double Layer (4x).Ist bereits der fünfte BluRay Brenner, 2 verschiedene Pioneer Blu-Ray Brenner und 2x ASUS BW-16D1HT bereits im Einsatz gehabt.
