 MacBook with Snow Leopard working perfectly with free software |

I bought this drive specifically for use with one of my Windows-based pcs. It works great with that, which I expected, and the windows software that comes with the drive is also wonderful and most welcome.
I did not, however, expect that it would work with my Macbook 1.83 gHz Core2 Duo. My internal optical drive is dying, and while it's pretty easy to use a network drive for installs and stuff, it's definitely not as convenient to go back and forth to the other desk. The documentation and all but one of the reviews were pretty clear that this was not a Mac-friendly product, so I was pleasantly surprised when the Mighty MacBook jumped right on playing the music cd in the drive.
I was even MORE surprised when it burned a DVD under the native/finder/disk burning application (no third party software involved at all).
And I was elated to learn that LightScribe had free downloads for the Mac, but I didn't really expect them to work in Snow Leopard.
But they do. AND it plays movies in the DVD player software. I don't know for certain whether my version of dvd player is the one that shipped with my macbook, or whether it's something that was bundled with my snow leopard disk, but movies open right up - impressively fast, as a matter of fact. |
Great product No complaints

| This unit works like a charm with my late 2008 macbook pro with leopard 10.5.6 installed as well as with my powermac G4 with the same version of leopard. Works fast and even is recognized without the need of any driver by vmware with windows XP installed. If you want to buy this go ahead it is great!!! |
Great Product!

| This is a super-fast, easy to install CD/DVD burner that is so small! It is slim and about the size of a book. Burns DVDs quick and easy, also has the terrific lightscribe feature! |

| Does not work with blu-ray as per my search which turned this up as an option. It does work great for all other dvd's. My fault for not ready the fine print. |
