blu-ray

Hi There, I foolishly installed 13.5 thinking it was the critical security update from a few weeks back but upon restart, I got an extensions error. 'Open System Settings' or restarting did nothing so after a 40min call with Apple, we finally found the subtle text which allows you to rebuild...

Hello. I am in the process of trying to find an external Blu-Ray/DVD drive for my Dad's M1 MacBook Pro. He will be using it primarily to watch Blu-Ray and DVD movies so playback is his focus as apposed to burning/writing. I want to future proof it as much as possible and would be...

Hello, I am looking for an external UHD/Blu-Ray drive that has been confirmed to work on a Mac. I have been reading a few threads on the MakeMKV site and also some reviews from Amazon. I would rather not have to flash a drive, as I know the Pioneer drives are supposed to work out of the box...

Good day fellow Mac Users I am wanting to migrate my DVD and Blu-ray collection of disks to my Plex instance on my Synology NAS. I have a 2017 MacBook Pro and am looking for recommendations on affordable tools and hardware to accomplish this. while I have used the USB SuperDrive and Hand Break...

I decided a while back that I am no longer buying digital media from iTunes or anything similar, and going back to adding to my already large physical media collection for movies, TV Shows, and music. I am adding all my content to my Plex server, and while my storage for Plex is very large, I am...

For the 27-inch iMac I would like to be able to watch my Blu-ray discs on it and possibly burn the disc so I can include footage in my YouTube film reviews (that part is still up in the air for me since I don't know what kind of copyright infringements I could possibly get). Since the Apple USB...

Are there any free Blu Ray rip apps around? Which would you recommend?

Hey all, I have a Plex media server that I've ripped lots of my Blu-rays and DVDs to. Everyone at home can then stream them over the network from the Plex to their iPads, laptops, etc. I want to purchase a film from iTunes (buy it, not rent it) but wanted to find out if iTunes provides me with...

Hi- I hope I can explain the situation properly - seemingly several places with several potential issues that I do't know where along the line the problem is. Short version is that my Blu Ray suddenly stopped connecting to internet . Network settings does not show my WiFi network name (though...

Hi there, I want to buy an external LG Blu-Ray burner to archive some data. I've read that I can use the built-in MacOS feature for burning BRs. Is that true for M-Discs as well? Can I read BR M-Discs burnt by Mac from a Windows Machine? (Never had a BR burner; but e.g. for CDs there was the...

Selling my 2010 6-Core Mac Pro with updated Apple hardware (Apple's Broadcom WiFi ac + BTLE 4.x card, USB 3, and more). Quick specs below, wondering what it may go for on the market. Thanks for any advice! 6-Core 3.33GHz Xeon Intel "Westmere" - 240GB OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 6G SSD (Boot Drive)...

I've already asked something similar to this a while ago, but I thought I may try and rephrase my questions and what I am looking for. Anyway... I am planning to take on a personal Blu-ray project (that takes on as close to the look and feel of an actual, physical, Blu-ray release you'd pick-up...

Hey everyone, Sorry if this comes off as a bit newbish, but that's what it kind of is. My iMac is from 2008 and it has become kind of a dinosaur and is pretty much no good for anything more than managing iTunes and surfing the web. Editing and creating video projects, etc. has become a big...
