LG GH22LS30 Super Multi - Disk drive - DVD?RW (?R DL) / DVD-RAM - 22x/22x/12x - Serial ATA - internal - 5.25" - black - LightScribe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This drive is fantastic. I am running Windows Vista SP1 64bit version with the i7 920 processor. This drive worked perfectly. The initial post on my system detected the drive. I got the OEM version which came with Nero and PowerDVD. I didn't need any screws, SATA cables (although it also came with one), SATA power cable (that connects to the power supply), or a 5.25" brace. I had to email LG because of a question concerning the firmware and I got a quick response. This particular drive already had the latest firmware and it's a plug and play type of drive (which I was told by LG).
Everything worked out of the box, my motherboard detected the SATA drive, and it works like a charm. The only minus is when you are burning onto a disc, Very slow! Still, I love LG products and that's the only negative. For this product, you will get nowhere if you go to LG's website. You have to go to the United States LG website which is http://us.lge.com/
I have an A/C , a cell phone, and a refrigerator by LG. Soon, I will be buying an LG stove, microwave and dishwasher. They never disappoint!
LG= Life's good!

LG GSA-E60L 8X Slim DVD-Writer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have 4 of these disc burners. I create Radio/TV ads for my clients and I got tired of burning one disc at a time, so I bought an additional 3 of them. I haven't had any issues with using them in any way.
Initially I bought the LG with the intention of using the LightScribe feature, but it's much too slow to be seriously considered. This goes for all LightScribe, not just these LG burners.
I would buy this burner again, as I've had no problems with them at all. However, in hindsight, instead of having 4 of the same burner, it would have been easier to have 4 different burners so it's easier to tell which is which when they have blank discs in them - they all show up as the same named drive.

LG Electronics CH08LS10 LightScribe SATA Blu-ray Combo Drive, Retail (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got it home, popped open the pc, used the included sata cables to install it. Closed it up, turned it on, Windows 7 recognized it right away. Then I installed the included Cyberlink software. I was watching a Blu-Ray within 30 minutes of opening the box. I run a HDMI through my Sony STR-DH800 to my 56" Panasonic 56lcz70, looks and sounds amazing. Turned on the pass-through feature, loved it.

LG GGW-H20L Super Multi Blue - Blu-ray Disc Burner / HD DVD-ROM Drive w/ Lightscribe - 6x2x6x/3x - Serial ATA - internal - 5.25" Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For those that are used to using the combination of "AnyDVD by Slysoft" and "DVDShrink 3.2" to backup dvd's and are curious if there are similar steps for doing this with blu-rays. IT IS. Unfortunately there is no "dvdshrink 3.2 for blu-ray disks". There are several other methods that are very effective. I searched for a long time to find out this stuff so read carefully.
In general, what I do with this drive, is backup my blu-ray movies to an external hard drive, then stream them to my 52 inch samsung from my laptop using its HDMI port(which doesn't even have a blu-ray drive. If this sounds like something your trying to do then read on. If not, you should highly consider it.
Using AnyDVDHD by Slysoft first insert the blu-ray movie, right click the AnyDVD icon and click "Rip Video DVD to Harddisk". After that go to the directory in which you ripped the DVD to. Then Locate the correct .m2ts file that contains the movie (BDMV/STREAM).
An .m2ts file for dummy's is the blu-ray version of an .vob file. So usually the largest .m2ts file is the movie. You can run .m2ts files as video files through Nero v8 Showtime. Once you find the main movie .m2ts files (usually about 25 gigs). Locate another freeware program called TsRemux. This is just like DVDshrink 3.2 in the way that it can stream out unnecessary content (subtitles/foreign languages). Through TsRemux open up the .m2ts file that you have determined is the movie. Then you will see the extra contents. Select the first video stream, the first audio stream, and the first subtitle stream (they are usually the English ones, sometimes you may have to re-do this to locate the correct sound, but there should only be ONE OF EACH selected). Make sure you click the box about where the streams are that says "Blu-Ray TrueHD to .....". Click "remux" and viola. What was a 25 gig movie file should now only be about 15 gigs.

NOTE**** Right now it is WAY more cost efficient to back up your blu-rays to an external hard drive than to re-burn them onto a blu-ray disk. Disks average at about 25 dollars each. That's about eight movies for 200 dollars right? A 320 gig e.xternal will run you just as much as eight blu-ray disks but can fit 21 movies (at 15 gigs each).
NOTE* There are no advertisements in this review, I'm simply stating what I use to backup my own blu-ray disks, please only use the software that you find is most convenient for yourself. Thanks for reading and I hope I was helpful.
*Any further question google "Laymans Guide to Blu-ray" and click the first link.
Good Luck!

LG Electronics 8x DVD-R DL/24x CD-DA USB 2 Slim External Super-Multi DVD Rewriter GP08NU20BK Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently got an Aspire One netbook to have an ultra-light computer in my briefcase on a daily basis. I soon realized it would be nice to have a DVD drive to play and burn DVD's and CD's.
The LG Portable Super Multi-Drive is slim and light, just like my Acer Aspire netbook. Its glossy black top attracts fingerprints, just like the Aspire...they look like they were made for each other.
The LG Drive plugs into a USB port on my netbook, so no bulky power pack is needed. The USB cord has two power plugs, because some USB ports may not put out enough power, so the cord allows plugging into two USB ports to get a higher level of power, if needed. One plug was enough with the Acer.
Because the unit is designed to draw a minimum of power, the DVD tray only pops out about an inch when you press the button. You pull it out the rest of the way manually. It also has a tiny "bobby pin" hole for an emergency release, to open the tray if a DVD gets stuck in the tray.
I used it first to watch a DVD movie I had rented. Windows Media Player with Window 7 produced a terrific picture, but no sound. I downloaded the free VLC media player, and the LG then played back the DVD movie with both a great picture, and nice stereo sound.
When I then played the DVD again using Windows Media Player, WMP also was producing stereo sound. I suspect the VLC player installed an audio codec that Windows 7 was missing, and that codec is now being used by both VLC and Windows to play back DVD movies.
I also used the LG to copy some of my favorite CD's to the Acer's hard drive. The LG did the job quickly and quietly. The LG is small enough and light enough to carry along on a vacation. It converts my Acer netbook into a nice movie player, and lets me listen to music CD's when the movie is over.
I am guessing that a lot of folks using Windows 7 may run into the audio problem when trying to watch a movie DVD. They need to understand that the problem has nothing to do with the LG Drive, it simply means they need to download the free VLC media player and allow it to install the audio codecs that Windows 7 is missing...thanks Bill Gates for leaving essential audio codecs out of Windows 7.

LG Super-Multi External DVD Rewriter with SecurDisc and LightScribe GE24LU20 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am extremely pleased with this unit and the ease with which it installed on both my computers (one with Vista Business and a second with XP Professional). Both computers recognized the unit and I was able to burn DVD's and CD's within minutes. While I have not burned a large volume of media so far, I have had no burning failures or other problems with the unit. The Unit itself looks and feels very substantial and you don't feel as though you have to worry about the case breaking with reasonable normal use. The tray of the unit accepts both normal sized media I use and pocket CD's that my Mavica Camera takes pictures with. All in all the unit is a great performer at a good price.
The software that came with the unit is exceptional as well in my opinion. It installed without a hitch and came with a variety of programs that were both easy to use and quite useful. So far I have not had the opportunity to use the Light Scribe feature so I can't really comment on that yet. I would definitely recommend this even though it is slightly more expensive than other LX models.
