The attached cable stores away neatly in a groove on the underside so there's no possibility of losing it. This usb optical drive produces almost no noise while processing discs and thus won't be disturbing. This disc reader is compatible with laptops or desktops with Windows OS, mac OS and Linux OS only. 1. Remember to set the DVD Region to United States on the player – Properties – click Hardware Tab – click Properties button – then choose country Region (US is 1) and OK to apply. Remember you can only reset the country 5 times. 2. Please directly connect it to the USB port of the computer. Connection through a USB hub or USB extension cord may affect the device’s functioning. For desktops, please connect it to the back USB port of the motherboard because of potential power issue. 3. For macbook, to eject a disc, you have to use the drop-down "eject" button on your computer under the file tab. Pushing the button on the disc drive won't do anything. Mac OS computers do not display the device icon before placing a disc into disc tray. 4. Computers does not natively support DVD movie playback, so a third-party application, such as VLC, must be downloaded and installed in order to watch DVDs using this cd/dvd player. You could download any one of a plethora of burning software utilities available on the Internet. Or try the following: No fee playing software: Any Media Player, Any DVD No fee burning software for Windows OS: InfraRecorder, Ones, Express Disc Burner No fee burning software for mac OS: Burn for mac No fee burning software for Linux OS/Unix OS: K3b (KDE Burn Baby Burn) 5. There is a basic DVD burner for Windows 10 that lets you copy files from your computer to a disc. More advanced software allows you to make discs compliant with DVD, Blu-ray, and CD and for more obscure tech like VCD players. 6. Just because you have a series of video files doesn’t mean they are compatible with DVDs. In fact, most computer and phone video formats are not compatible. So you need a third-party software to convert your file format to one that can be shown on discs. It won't work even you burn your file onto discs without converting format.

If needed keep your computer charging Hard to open the disc tray 1. Unplug the drive and plugin back it, then while the green light is flashing depressing the button will open the tray. 2. Plug a pin into the small hole on the front panel. 3. Eject from the computer. USB cable too short Use extension cord no longer than 31 inches. High-quality extension cord with braid and shielding layer is better. Shorter cable is better always. Problems about burning Use a third-party software to convert your file format to one that can be shown on discs. It won't work even you burn your file onto discs without converting format.

Worked good for I needed it for

    • Stop debating and buy this one.
Size: Small Color: Black
I spent hours deliberating over all the choices Amazon had to offer. I'm not cheap, but I'm disabled and on a very limited budget, so I was leaning towards the low end of products to stay in my budget. I finally decided to try this product due to the 5 star reviews it got. Right out of the box, feels sturdy and well made. Virtually no setup, plug in the USB cable, and start doing whatever it is you want to do. The reason I needed a burner is most of my old copied music CD's were deteriorating, and I wanted to make new copies to keep in my truck. I was astonished at the speed this drive copied and burned my new CD's. I reproduced 9 albums in a little over 45 minutes. I am more than satisfied with those results. Also during the copy/burn process, I did not hesitate to abuse the drive a bit. Nothing violent, just average bumping, tapping, lifting and turning it, and not a glitch whatsoever, that is until I turned it upside down...It didn't like that...but picked up right where it left off, and had absolutely no effect on the quality of the burns. I also checked all of them and listened to 3 to their full length, and they all sound perfect. There are a couple of "Cons", but they are more than justified for the price and are easily accepted, or worked around. The first one is the "attached" USB cable, I would prefer it to be detachable, so it could be replaced if something happened to the original, but when I considered the fact that it is conveniently stored right on the unit for easy storage, transport, and protection, I decided to cross the "damage cable thing" bridge when I get to it, and move on. The second "Con" is that they don't include any software to actually use it other than Windows Media Player for playing music. So, I did my usual research and found "Express Burn" by NCH Software. It did a great job and very easy to use at an also unbeatable price...FREE! There may be others out there, and of course you could pay to get some premium features, but this program will copy files, create back-ups and copies of your music collection, as well as create bootable CD's to repair your Windows build if need be, without making an additional investment. To close this "novel" (which I almost never write reviews) I will just say I highly recommend this drive, and paired up with the free software you can't go wrong! ... show more

    • Works for now
Size: Small Color: Black
We bought this with a lightning deal so it was a good price. It works with my computer. However, we had an issue with it after using it only a few times. It seemed the DVD tray was not straight so it wouldn't open or close. I had to turn it off (by unplugging it from my computer) and manipulate it some before connecting it again and it finally worked properly. After that, it seems to be better. I just hope it continues working with no issues because I wasn't planning on repurchasing within two months or even a year. There is no power button. It turns on when connected to your device. It connected quickly and easily so there's no need to set up a program to use either. It's small and compact so it doesn't take up much space either. I will say the cord is very short and I wish it were longer. It's almost too close and there's not much space to set it on the table or stand when it's connected to my device. So, in this regard, I don't care for this product. I'm not sure I'd buy this particular brand again when this one gives out. Hopefully, as mentioned, that won't happen for a while. We don't use it often, maybe two or three times a month. ... show more

    • Great addition to modern computers

We have all these old CDs and now computers don't come with CD drives. Bought this as a solution and it works great. Great plug and play and are able to take it to whatever computer we need it. Easy usb in and ready to go in moments. Stores nicely and cord snaps into the bottom. Great to have this when needed. ... show more

    • Spend your money else where.
Size: Small Color: Black
I cannot express the headline enough. Please just save your money and spend it elsewhere this product is a cheap waste of 20$ and Amazon does not help with refunds with this particular item. My first experience with the item was great, it worked the way it was intended to for the first 40 minutes and then never worked as easy and seamless as it should have. I purchased about 22 different DVD discs and each were brand new. About 4 seasons of Dbz, Hunger Games movie collection, and Into the Spiderverse that I had never used physically because my purchase came with a digital code. All of these brand new DVD discs that had never been used before and sealed. First day it arrived I plugged the DVD Drive in and it worked without any hassle, the green button that's suppose to open the slot would never open entirely so I had to pull it out but this wasn't a huge deal, I'd put the DVD in and the movie would shortly play via VLC on my computer. It was seamless and I was able to enjoy watching DVD"s on my computer. Than I immediately ran into issues after about 40 minutes of watching DBZ. The DVD player would close down, initially I thought it was VLC that needed an update so I proceeded to update it. Once again it was working fine, than came another crash sometime 2 hours or so into the disc. No big issue simply re-plug and back on track. After that the DVDPlayer never worked the same. After watching a movie or completing a disc I'd swap it out for another only for the DVD player to refuse to boot up. I'd press the eject button multiple times to get the light to turn on, nothing. I'd unplug and plug it back in, nothing. I'd change USB ports from Laptop to PC each being 2.0 or 3.0, nothing. I'm not sure if this is a heating issue or some kind of eject issue but after taking out a disc the DVD drive will simply refuse to work for 20-30 minutes until it once again decides to boot up again and function. This product is cheap, unreliable, and hardly functions for it's intended purpose. Save your money and buy something that's been made by a reliable company and can truly function without having so many hiccups. I'll also like to comment on something a lot of people have commented about, the cord is extremely short and the main powering unit. It's extremely hard to find where to place the dvd drive if you're using a PC and even harder pill to swallow knowing when the cord goes out so will the unit. Once again SAVE YOUR MONEY ... show more
