Do you need special software to read and/or burn DVDs on Mac 10.9. If so, what do you use?

I do not use a Mac I have windows 8 and also another computer with Windows 7 but the Dr did come with a disc I am sure they had the software on it if not I'm sure you can go to the Memorex website and they will have a driver for it if needed

Yes, any type DVD it will read but your PC program (many are free) does the processing as this is only a read/write drive for a PC/mac

Mine was just delivered. I haven't tried it with an actual disc yet but my Mac was able to quickly identify the device with no software needed.

I am using Mac OS X. I want to burn CD's with images that will play in a DVD player. What format do I need to use for saving the files? JPEG, TIFF, PICT, PDF? Thanks for the input.

Haven't tried making CD's yet, but I do know I can that it works on my MAC and I can play DVD's. I have an old MAC that runs on OS X. I guess you can try it, I would.

Alexei Sadovnikov, Burning software for Mac/Apple computers would not be included in the package. Additional software would be required for editing and authoring Blu-Ray discs. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

The answer is already in my review:"Be also aware that any new Mac now comes without a system backup on DVD. Go to Apple support Web pages and look for « Reinstall OS X » and « Recovery Disk Assistant » for details."

This is just the divice; it does not come with the software; that has to be downloaded for your specific operating system. There is more than one choice for the software, (more that one brand name). It is tricky to work correctly on a MAC for Blu-ray, but DVDs work much better. Almost all software available will play DVD an CD on this drive. Apple does not have a business interest supporting external drives like blu-ray, since most of its software, applications, entertainment, are available through iTunes. very respectfully, Curtthom@cox.net, Frankfurt, Germany

It's worked great on my MacBook and a Toshiba running 8.1 and the developer's preview of 10. If you're trying to boot from the DVD drive, make sure the laptop's bios supports external drives and as Tyler said, if you want to play DVDs, you'll need to download another program. VLC Player works perfectly if you need a 3rd party media player that supports DVDs.

Thank you. I use iSkysoft DVD Ripper. Currently the only way to get Chapters using this software is to use the iPhone or iPod settings. Maybe they will upgrade their software because I like having the Chapters. I appreciate your reply.

As far as I know my Mac (which is down in CA currently) can read any disk I put in , I doubt it is double layer. Frankly I do not think I have ever run into double layer DVDs. Check the Apple help line, they may advise you. Sorry I am not more help.

Thanks. Do you have a link to the software for ripping DVD's?If I want to rip a DVD, does the box indicate what file type the DVD is?

I have only played the DVD on my DVD player, so I can't answer the question about your iMac. My booklet was fine, and I have really enjoyed doing MELT. Hope you get it to work soon!

Hi Harvo, The DIGISTOR drive doesn't come with software for Mac that allows regular disc file burning. The Mac software that it comes with is called REWIND and it is built for creating a personal archive of files you want to archive to Blu-ray disc. If you'd like to burn regular Blu-ray disc files to disc, you will need additional software like Toast, which is not included in the package.Thanks,The DIGISTOR Support Teamwww.digistor.com/support

For Mac you need to buy blu-Ray player software. Not sure if Windows build in player will play it the blu-ray disks. May be you need to buy the same application for Windows as well :-)...
