I do not know. I sold my mini after about six months because it never truly worked properly. I would not buy a Toshiba anything ever again. Their customer service was not at all helpful.

You need to format it as a FAT32 drive. It comes pre-formatted with the NTFS file system--which can't be read by most Blu-ray players.

As long you have the correct codecs for your OS, it should play. It has nothing to do with the dvd or blu ray drive, rather the player (software apps) playing the VLC files.

Amazon emailed me to answer this question. I was very dissapointed in the LG BP06LU10. I cannot answer the question. I returned the LG BP06LU10 since it would not playback BluRay discs even though it would burn them. LG tech support was useless to resolve the issue and their solution was to spend another $100 for additional software from Cyberlink, and they couldn't tell me if it would then playback BluRay. The vendor just refered me to LG support so I returned the drive and got a refund. You might find support at Lightscribe.com, the inventors of the technology. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Apparently Amazon doesn't log when items are returned. Amazon emailed me to answer this question. I was very dissapointed in the LG BP06LU10. I cannot answer the question.

plug in the external cd/dvd player and reboot. hit F12 during the reboot and you should go to a menu that allows you to choose the external drive as your boot device, then hit enter to confirm when asked.cheersLarry

DLP: Like others, my BD390 quit playing many of the newer bluray discs a couple weeks ago. Firmware is current. After first discussion with LG support, I took the unit to an authorized electronic repair. Am told the unit is working properly but CANNOT be updated further to play the newer blurays coming out, despite firmware updates. Spoke again TODAY with LG support and they confirmed this. Was told there was NO upgrade available for the unit and that NO discount would be given on purchasing a newer LG unit! They were amazingly indifferent and told me I was "out of luck".......would either have to accept the fact this unit was ALREADY outdated for current and upcoming blurays, or buy a newer unit. I WILL NOT BE BUYING FUTURE LG PRODUCTS. DLP

Hey, New information!!!!Download the two zip files under BD570 from http://www.lg.com/us/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=BD570&initialTab;=drivers&targetPage;=support-product-profileunzip them and put the files from the two files on a usb drive formated for NTFS. You could try doing it with FAT32, mine was NTFS though.Plug it into the USB port on the player and it will ask you if you want to update. It added a channel in Netcast and fixed a common problem with Netflix.

You can use pretty much any USB external cd, DVD, or bluray burner or player. The drivers are usually preloaded so there should be no issues.

you should be able to play the disk through whatever your default media player is, ive tried VLC and MCP-HC and both have worked, I honestly have never used or seen said included software, id suggest looking at the setup guide it comes with to see if it's being detected properly

You can buy an external CD/DVD drive($25 and up), convert the game to an ISO image and installed using a USB device, download to a USB drive. The best method so far is is to buy and external DVD/Bluray drive that will allowed you to install the game and also watch Blurays, it has worked great on 1080P, the Blu-Ray drive start around $40.

Nope, Sorry, you can't. You can use a Western Digital Media Player, Roko or a newer Bluray player.

I don't know what programs you have tried, but use the LG software first to make the BD readable and playable, then you need to use a blue ray playing program such as Roxio or Power DVD etc.

Yes, but you need to have the software to play a BluRay installed on your laptop / PC.

from what i can read from resesrching - if the drive is less than 1TB it should recognize the device and play

Not out of the box. It has no cd drive. You would need to buy a external blu ray drive

If your LG and computer has a VGA portals, this should work, however, you will not have sound. Ideally, if you have HDMI portals on both, that would be the best way to go as HDMI cables deliver the audio and the video.
