I couldn't get this unit to work despite a ton of e-mails to and from the manufacturer's tech support people. My problem: no media player software, including the Cineplayer software packaged with the unit, was able to play a DVD on this unit without false copyright protection errors and other aberrations. Iomega tech support asked me to try a ton of solutions, none of which worked. Then Iomega changed its story and said the problem was the Cineplayer, which won't work under Windows XP! They advised me to delete Cineplayer and try Windows Media Player, but that didn't work either. This unit is going back to the merchant. I don't believe the manufacturer tested it fully and I've given the manufacturer every chance to prove that the unit works under XP. In my personal experience, it does not.

The description of the writer implied that software was included. I specifically chose this article because it was described as working with Mac OS X. However I can not find software from iomega or anywhere else. The result is that the unit is useless to me.
