4.0 out of 5 stars Blu-Ray Burner on the go, October 26, 2009

By

This review is from: DIGISTOR External Blu-ray Burner (Slot-Load) USB 2.0 Powered Drive (Electronics)

I got this DIGISTOR Blu-Ray burner for my HD videos. I am a semi-professional videographer and I record some of my shoots/subjects/videos in High-Definition. At one point earlier this year, I realized that burning to DVDs just will not be enough for HD content - the 4-something gigabytes just won't cut it.

I decided to get DIGISTOR's blu-ray burner because I got one of their their DVD burners as well - External USB 2.0 Powered 8x DVD Burner by DIGISTOR - and I saw from their website -[...]/Blu-ray-burner - that they had a similarly designed Blu-Ray burner.

The reason I was so happy with the DVD burner was that it did not need a power cord for it. I am happy to say that this Blu-Ray burner is the same - no power cord. I use it for my HD video editing, connected to my PC. I also bring it around, it is very light and portable, on my shoots should there be a need to burn output onsite.

It's plug-and-play, no need for drivers - Vista and Windows 7 supports blu-ray natively. And I have yet to encounter a bad burn on this drive. Something to do with it's battery powered operation, but I also made sure it has enough power for burning, I got the dual USB accessory.

I'm very happy with the product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice but..., October 7, 2010

I am using windows7 64 and the software that came with it was not compatible nor is windows 7 really compatible with the player. I don't see much interest in Blu-ray any way because of streaming and downloading. I have no complaints with the drive itself just the compatibility issues with blu-ray.
