You DON'T want to install that included software. It's almost impossible to remove/uninstall and hangs up opening many many repeat files and it causes other problems. It's like malware.Buy the latest CyberLink PowerDVD 14 or higher. I purchased the download here on Amazon.

Sorry. I messed up. It works great with Windows 8.1. With the bluray software, not included

It does not come packaged with software for blu ray playback. It only has basic burning software included. You have to buy extra software for playback.

No you cannot because the bluray only has video outputs not inputs. You have an audio input option using digital but that's about it. What exactly are you trying to accomplish ??

It makes blurays just fine if you have the necessary software - I am on mac and use Toast. They just take ages to burn with Toast but that's not the burner's fault.

It will play both, HOWEVER! It will not play Bluray movies without purchasing additional software for Bluray playback because Sony corporation owns the Bluray standard. I do not buy Bluray nor do I buy Sony products for that reason. I use free VLC player for DVD movies.

Sorry - don't have a bluray player so I cannot test it for you. Maybe someone else can help?

I didn't play with it enough to see if the Bluray INPUTS sounds from the HDMI. (I believe the HDMI is for output.) The optical digital is easy to pipe any sound that would normally be coming out of the TV into the bluray. ie VCR, Wii, laptop. Set the bluray on "TV" and it plays whatever the TV speakers would be playing. (I'll have to check if there is an "HDMI input" mode on the Bluray.)-Will

Software can be downloaded online or you can request a disc from us - I would need to know what you operating system you have and if you are needing a media player to play blu ray/dvd or the burning software to burn cd/dvd/blu ray - Thank you

After much searching and trying free software that just wasn't up the the task, I went ahead and paid for Mac Bluray, By MacGo, play for my Mac. It works flawlessly and plays all sorts of other video formats also.

I suppose you arent being funny because there is a fairly good description on amazon It plays blu ray discs besides DVDs and also media files stored on a USB drive such as mp3, mp4, wmv, avi & jpgs.

You're welcome. I have owned this unit for a little over a year now and it has done a great job. I use it exclusively for Blurays and I have a different stand alone for DVDs.

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.

It doesn't come with the latest software, but it does provide adequate software for Blu-ray and some other creative video editing. Have only used it a few times but seems to be flawless and worked fine with DVD and Blu-ray movies.

There is no software. Its plug and play. You can use window OS to burn to and read your non-movie blu-rays. If you are talking about a Blu-Ray ripper software for movies, make sure it can remove/handle the security stuff otherwise it won't copy it and you could have playing problems if your monitor doesn't support security stuff.
