I red on the user comments on newegg.ca that it doesn't burn BluRay M-Disk, is that true?

LG claimed that they can support XL disc, 100 GB. Not sure what M disc you referred to. You can always check with LG technical support team rather than relying on readers

I've had some much trouble with the software it's not fair, The answer to your question is yes, true

I don't know what you mean by burn BluRay, but i can tell you that it does read BluRay discs; although, the software that they give us isn't up to date which makes sometimes the reading difficult. It worked better when i downloaded the newest version of the software. I don't know if this product allow us to create a BluRay disc.

Definitely, you may go for a different brand and model, keep asking people, that's a good strategy.
1639615
to tell you the truth I have not tried that yet so I don't know if it will work but try it if it works than you have your answer if it doesn't than buy another unit. read all specs before you purchase then you will know if it does or not. if it does not mention it in the specs than most likely it won't.

To clarify my previous answer, M disc is DVD format not BluRay format per your question. The description stated that it does support it

This device will not burn BD-Rom. It will burn DVD/CD and I have have not had any issues reading Blue Ray discs. Hope this helps to answers your question. Also a link to the Asus Website https://www.asus.com/Optical_Drives/BC12B1ST/#overview

If your mac has a sata interface you can use this burner. BE Warned however this blu ray burner will die on you BARELY outside its warranty so I hope you got it really really cheap. This burner died 2 months outside of warranty on me after me having only owned it 14 months with light use at a cost of $100 and when it was capable of burning blu rays it produced coasters 4 out of ten times. I have another LG blu ray reader that will not read blu rays. LG is junk which is why I replaced my blu ray writer with a ASUS which has been running with no issues for the last 16 months.

Absolutely not, I purchased 2 of these. Sent them both back. I think they're useless because they wont play burnt discs.

I cannot say for sure, but it appears that the "B" version is the current production model. I checked a couple of sites and they seem to agree that the non "B" version is out of production. I have a non "B" model and have no complaints. It "came" with CyberLink. My model plays and writes dvd and cd disks. It will burn a bluray, but will playback if you have hdml. I have burned a couple bluray 25gb and 50gb data disks without any problem other than slow. I have 100gb disk but have not yet burned it; I do not expect any real problem. Ph yes, the "B" model seems out of stock on Amazon but is a little cheaper than the non "B" model. I cannot detect any real difference between the two. The pioneer web site is a deathmarch and not really informative except for sales hyperbole. Hope this helps.

Yes it burns DVD, and no, it won't play Blu Ray, it doesn't matter if it has HDMI, it needs a Blu Ray drive to play it.

Not as far as I can tell. I've dumped my entire bluray collection to 2 5TB drives using MakeMKV where I preserve all the tracks without reencoding or anything like that. I haven't had any trouble whatsoever playing anything even known Cinavia protected movies like Amazing Spider-ManI don't think you have anything to worry about. Cinavia is only a requirement for BluRay players and since this doesn't have a BluRay drive you're in good shape

Yes...ish. For data and DVD disks no problem. Mac doesn't like Blu-ray though. You will have to download software (Macgo is the only one I can find that is reliable) or use hacks with free VLC and DVDFab that are complicated and don't always work, at least for me.

I use this model mainly for DVDs. It is quiet and fast. I have burned 25Gb blu-ray discs but not of the M-disc type. LGs says it supports M-disc.

I've been using it a reader for both data and movies and it works out of the box with no drivers needed. You will need software for Blu Ray Movie Playback.I have yet to try burning anything but nothing indicates it can't be done. You may need burning software for it to actually burn discs. I don't know if the built in burning feature in OS X works with BD Rs.

ive been burning with amazon's basic dvd+r stuff for a while and after a few hundred disks, very few fails.i think my drive is burning up now, is the only problem, but its old and has about 1k burns through it.

I found online that it supports OS X 10.6 and up. I am not familiar with OS X in general so I can't fully commit and say it will be easy to use. Many users are claiming it to be hard to find a good program for burning the data. Apple has never endorsed Blu-Ray so this shouldn't be surprising. I would check some forums before committing to a purchase, but I must say its a great BD burner.

You know, I can't say that I have ever put a CD in my Samsung BluRay, so I had to go do it right now.The nice thing that you get with playing audio CD's in your BluRay is the ability to see CD status on the screen of your TV. You won't get that with a CD player.I am assuming it will show other info on CD+G discs. I don't have any, so I could not confirm that.The player I have is a Kenwood DP-M6640. This unit was top of the line years back with a 6-disc cartridge and also a single disc tray. It means nothing to the kids of today with 1TB of MP3's on hard drive.

My unit don't even work DEAD on arrival. look elsewhere.I think the 3d media units only support 1080p in side by side. Ask the question in AVS forums.

The Verbatim M-Disc web site at http://www.mdisc.com/verbatimusa/ says that the Pioneer BDR-XS05 is compatible with M-Disc blu-ray. But I haven't yet tried with my drive, no occasion or need yet to burn an M-Disc. Nothing there is on the box or in the user manual about M-Disc, but both were printed in 2013. You should better ask directly Pioneer USA and / or Verbatim USA.

Bluray player (no burning) and DVD/CD Burner. No bluray burning. An easy purchase and upgrade though.
