I’m not sure every drive model out there has a bezel that you need to take off, but so far every drive I’ve seen did.

(Seriously… don’t they want to sell drives?! Mac Pro users want Blu-ray burners! That’s why I wrote this article.) Please mail me if you know about other drives that are compatible (or incompatible!). This can be a problem, because for example even the national LG support desk had no information at all in their system about how compatible their drives are with Macs and OS X. Just make sure you order one that works with your machine.

Here’s how it’s done: Overview of the inside of a Mac Pro and how to add a SATA cable for a blu-ray drive Put the internal Blu-ray burner in the Mac Pro However, according to the French National Laboratory of Metrology and Testing, M-DISC’s showed similar deterioration in quality as other (inorganic) DVD disks in their test. Some drives are compatible with Millenniata’s M-DISC’s, that claims that their discs last longer, though require a more powerful laser because of the material they use. This how-to should work with just about any compatible model aftermarket internal drive, but I would Google the exact type before you order it.
I used an LG BH10LS30, but Amazon no longer sells them. For example, the LG WH10LS30 is not fully compatible with all Mac Pro models (it works with the Mac Pro 5. The Mac Pro so far works with ‘any compatible model’ but that is the problem: Several blu-ray burner models don’t work with OS X. So I think it’s safe to say Blu-ray works with all Mac Pro models, at least in this time-line. So far, I have received mails from people claiming successfully building the BH10LS30 in Mac Pro models from 1.1 (week 32, 2006) to the Mac Pro 2010 models. Update: It’s hard to find info about what models are supported. I don’t understand why people make such a big deal out of this or why Apple doesn’t sell them. Add a Blu-ray burner to your Mac ProĪdding a Blu-ray burner to your Mac Pro can be done cheap, fast and easy. Another app may be better.You might want to get up to speed with Blu-ray first and read a little introduction about what Blu-ray disks are and where the standard comes from. In terms of burning software, I use Toast Titanium 18 at least for DVD film media and data.

I just opened a M disk movie and it plays fine. I have played Blu-Ray movies before so I know it works.
#Dvd bluray burner for mac software
Apple does not supply Blu Ray movie player app so a third party software player is required. DVD Movies open and play with the regular Apple DVD player. Once you have a file -data, movie, or music, it can be burned with any 'M' disk burner and accessed. Unfortunately, RipIt does not copy Blu RAY disks. I rip DVD movies with a simple app called ' RipIt' which seems to work around restrictions to copying films that commercial software like Toast has making copying impossible. I am using an LG BE14NU40 several years now to burn 'M' disks -both DVDs and Blu-Ray.

So that seems covered, although I'm not sure about details, such as preserving create time.īut what if I want to archive to a Blu-Ray M-disc? That isn't supported AFAICT.Īny recommendations? I did a web search and found no clear answer.ĭVD and blu ray 'M' disks Can be burned on Macs with external burner/players. I noticed a menu selection for "burn" to disc. Nothing fancy with ripping movies or anything like that.Ī friend asked about some old archived film scans on CD-R, so I connected a DVD+RW drive via USB and everything worked fine. We have two BluRay drives, one with M-Disc support and one without.Īre you just "archiving" this data "as files"? Whether M-Disc records is a property of the drive hardware, not the OS. That has to do with the media structure of the disc itself and is handled by the hardware. Having said that, I don't believe the app you happen to be using cares about "M-Disc" burning (vis-a-vis "non-M-Discs"). No information I've seen indicates that Big Sur suddenly gained support for Blu-Ray. I doubt Macs would burn to a recordable Blu-Ray blank. Looks like it creates standard ISO 9660 with Joliet and Rockridge extensions.īy the way, I'm ecstatic that my 22 year old CDs were readable and are now consolidated on a single DVD-R. If a DVD+RW drive is connected via USB, the right-click menu has an option Burn to Disc that works fine with a DVD-R blank inserted. (these may no longer work on the latest OS versions). There used to be some free apps for Macs and optical drives: You didn't tell us which Mac you have, what year it was made, and what version of the OS is running.
