I can't speak to Blu-Ray, but years ago I used a PowerMac with LiteOn
DVD/CD-RW combo drive with absolutely no issues. But that was years
ago, and times can and do change. YMMV and all that...

I use an LG purchased from OWC several months ago and it hasn't given
any problems (MacPro 1,1)

2009 MacPro + Blu-Ray

2011-02-06 Thread Ted Treen

Hi All,

Asking here as there seems to be very little activity on the MacPro 
list, and I stay on this list for my G5 Dual 2,.0.


I also have an  2009 Mac Pro (bought in April 2010), and I would like to 
add an optical drive with Lightscribe into the lower optical bay which 
is currently empty.


I've been considering a Blu-Ray writer, and have bought the Blu-Ray 
module to expand my Toast 10 Titanium.


Some Pioneer Blu-Ray models seem to give trouble with Macs, and OWC are 
offering LG models, but here in the UK I can get the LiteOn IHBS212-32 
12x BDRW at a very good price.


Does anyone on the list know in the LiteOn is fairly happy with Macs?

And although it's not a primary consideration, is there any software yet 
that will enable playback of commercial Blu-Ray films on a Mac (I have 
an NEC 23 EA231WMi monitor, 1080p resolution)?


Thanks,

Ted
