Question: What exactly does this do and is it necessary for blu ray?

Hello from Mediabridge... Joshua, I saw your question and thought I would answer since Amazon doesn't typically respond to discussion board posts. HDMI cables are used to connect compatible components such as television and dvd player. HDMI cables will provide digital audio and up to 1080p throughput if they are "High Speed" rated. If you have a 1080p television and a Blu-Ray player, you should be using an HDMI cable to connect them, yes. Be prepared to be amazed. 1080p pictures are breathtaking if you haven't seen them before.

I really don't know if it works on Blu Ray. I would be afraid to try it. I would not like for you to ruin your player by trying this product.

Will,Why do you need an optical cable and an HDMI between the TV and the Bluray? Doesn't the HDMI do both audio and video?Brian

This player does have a Blu ray player and writer on it. If it is not doing so you may have the connection hookup incorrect. Also you must have a mother board and good enough graphics card to use the writer portion.

Robert, this is an interface adapter only, I did not connected it to Blu-Ray drive, but I recomend you to find another adapter with the power Jack separated. God bless you.

I haven't had to use that function yet, but most blu rays do have that function. When you turn the player back on it should ask you to resume or not. Hope this helps you.

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.

I believe that, even though you are not able to resume playback on the Blu Rays, you can bookmark it so you can comeback to the same spot as when you stopped. At the price this is right now, and since I don't need the BDlive until it's reasonably priced for a wireless BR that can do it, this is the one to get!

I cant confirm, as I havent tried to burn a Blu Ray disk. But I would be surprised if it required additional software to burn one. Then again, I was surprised to find it didnt come with Microsoft Office. Sorry I couldnt be of more help.

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.

Does not play blu-ray. Just dvd and cd's. I just bought for the multi region capability and it fits my needs just fine. I dint want to spend a lot of money and I don't think Blu-Ray is all that much better then DVD. I think this was a good buy.

Same here. Works fine with Blu Ray, but says Check Disc when I put in a DVD.

you need software to play blu rays , play back software is about $100.The answer is yes but you'll have to buy additional software .This is the case no matter what player you buy

It reads and writes Blu-Ray just live DVD. To copy, I'm assuming you mean rip, it would depend on software compatibility and protections placed on the disk itself. For example, you could easily copy information over from an unprotected data disk but probably would not be successful trying to rip a copyrighted movie, but then I've never tried.
