Can it play blu ray movies, does it come with software to view blu ray moves, can it burn regular DVD"s &amp; CD's

It cannot play bluray movies without additional software such as PowerDVD - $50. It burns regular DVDs and CDs with free software such as ImgBurn.

It will play blu ray movies if there is a blu ray player connected to it. The sound will be much better than if the player is connected only to the TV. The unit will not play anything on its own.

Yes and burns DVD's & CD's, only plays blue ray. I've had mine since 2012, very good quality/reliability. It came with a good software package as well.

Yep, it has a DVD writer. It'll play standard DVD and write to blank DVD. It does not have a Blu-ray writer/player...so it wont work with that format or hd-DVD

Also, there are free disk player programs out there, such as VLC Media Player (which can play just about anything you are likely to come across) and ExMplayer which even plays 3D Blu-Rays either in 3D or converted to 2D on the fly if necessary! For burning software, there is Img-Burn, an excellent FREE disk burning program. A search on the internet will help you find them. Good luck! F.H.

There is no software, just this drive. You have to download and purchase software to play Blu-Ray on your PC. The software I chose to purchase is: "Aiseesoft Blu-ray Player". You can Google for that; it works well on my Living Room PC: Windows XP Professional, 3-Ghz CPU, 3-gigs of RAM.

Yes it will play Blu rays. The software with it is not a full suite but you can use Windows media player in Win 8.1 for music. I use a third party program for Blu rays as the one included did not allow for movie playback.

Hello, thank you for your interest. The Super-Multi supports DVD Read/Write and CD Read/Write, but not Blu-ray.

With the right software, you can play Blu-ray 3D movies (I highly recommend CorelWin BD). Same thing goes for editing the home videos but I don't know the right software.

It plays both blue ray and regular DVDs. It does not play HD. Overall it has been an excellent player. However, do not upload the software upgrades. The player won't work after. Though lg did fix it for us since it was known issue.

You need to have dvd or bluray player software mine works great. Burns blueray and dvds fine also as long as you specify the speed and not use autodetect

Yes, but you need a third party software to play DVD and blu-ray, it comes with a Cyberlink bundle, to do this trick.

For sure it plays normal DVD discs. I haven't tried 2D blu-ray myself, but the promotional literature says it will. In fact, it won't play 3D blu-ray unless you have a 3D TV (obviously).

My experience was that with windows 8, you need additional software to play blue rays. It did play CD and DVD though.

Don't know. I couldn't get the software to work on my Windows 7 system (which is up to date.) I had to download 3rd party software to get it to play Blu-Rays.
