Anyone use this on a computer Bluray drive? Being a 3D cleaner wondering if playback to perform cleaning wont work on a non 3D setup?

It cleans my 3d drive nicely, though if u don't have one I don't think it'll work on a non 3d drive :-( Next best thing is to get a reg dvd or blu ray cleaner, that should do the trick ;-)

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

For the most part. I had trouble with installing the Cyberlink software from the drive and ended up copying the install to the local drive to make it work. I can watch DVDs but not bluray discs as the cyperlink software that comes with the device does not support windows 8 and high def at the same time. They want me to upgrade. Not sure if it is worth it.

I"ve been wondering the same thing. According to the manual, it has a resume function. I bought 2 of the 570 players 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to resume playback on any bluray yet. They all start playing from the beginning of the disc. Don't know if it's the way I have it setup or if it just isn't available.

I'm not sure because it says in the box that it only cleans CD drives and DVD players. It never mentioned Blu-Ray players. If others say that it does clean Blu-Ray players then you can purchase it, but I suggest that you find something that says it can clean Blu-Ray players just to be on the safe side.

Its really stupid but there is no bluray playing software,its a rip off,the best I can recommend is buy cyberlink powerdvd 14 ultra,or torrent it if you do that sort of thing.Sounds illegal but guess what,you

I've tried a few different video types but all through a smart bluray player. What are you playing? based on how it seems to function id say that should work.

Tried it on a pc mini disc. works fine. but the machine does tend to leave swirls on discs after cleaning but they usually still work.

My vinyl to pc capture was pre hdmi. I used rca to pc audio input. Software must have vinyl clean up feature.outcome is not high quality, but provided a clean retro sound on cd for a friend who's father recorded the album for her. sorry, HDMI audio in from rca...haven't tried. Maybe Audicity could help

In my experience, the drive has been great - I've been using it to burn DVDs/BD-Rs & it can be used for 3D playback so long as you have software that supports it. Is this the best drive on the market? No - some pricier drives have extra features, such as HD upscaling for DVDs (which I think is useless, btw). Is it the best drive under $100? Yeah, in my opinion, it is. In regards to write speed, it depends on the type of media: 16X is the fastest write speed for BD-R, 24X for DVD-R (but that speed is only available in DVD drives - the fastest DVD-R speed available on a BD drive is 16X), & 48X for CD-R. The -DL, -RW, & -RAM variants always have lower speeds. However, as the other answer mentions, the fastest BD-R discs currently available have a maximum write speed of 6X. In terms of read speed: the BD-R read speed may not be the best (12X), but it's plenty. It's faster than needed for BluRay playback & fine for the BD rips that I've done.

I tried this item on a tray loading dvd recorder/player and was not realy happy with the results. The lens cleaner is a cd that has a very small brush built in, therefore if you have a slot loading multy drive, I would'nt recomend because of the little brush having to enter into a very narrow area. There is a chance that it may damage your multy drive. This cd is more comvenient to use on a tray drive.

Mr., Miss, or Ms? To answer your question, I have used the disk cleaner in all my machines and so far so good. I also have an older DVD player plus an older DVD recorder plus my Blu-Ray and I have cleaned all of them OK. with the disk cleaner in question. My hobby is seeing and collecting movies so I use my machines many hours a month. The disk cleaner did a super job on all of them and restored them back to original operating condition. I cannot guaranty it will work on your machine but it did work on all mine. "RAF"

Yes, as a DRIVER for playing a CD it works great...the only issue I have with it is I thought that it would include some built in software that would enable me to copy my Windows Movie Videos I made on Windows 8, and copy them to a CD using this item, and voila, I could play it in a DVD. Shows what I get for thinking. I have to find some kind of software that will convert it from WMV Movie Maker Project to AVI or MP4, something like that. Easier said than done. If you know what I'm talking about and can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Other people said this was a cheap item, but I didn't see it that way at all. The cord is a little short, so if your tower sits to the side of your computer, you may have to put it up on a couple of books, or a small box to get the height up tall enough to reach your port. Mine are on the front. Good Luck and Merry Christmas

Hi Shaune Lewis,This was the kind of solution I was looking from a long time and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience thro' this post.I have a Sony BDP S-570 Bluray player which says it is 3D ready and a Viewsonic PJD 6531w 3D ready DLP projector...But I am not able to play a 3D bluray disc (christmas Carol 3D) with this setup from my Sony BD player... Could you please suggest the best option to bridge the gap b/w my Sony BD player BDP S570 and Viewsonic Projector PJD 6531w..?Thanks for your time in responding to the post...

It makes blurays just fine if you have the necessary software - I am on mac and use Toast. They just take ages to burn with Toast but that's not the burner's fault.

sorry, can't assist. I use it to write blu-rays from my PC,, have never needed to try and play using it, have a blu-ray player for that.

It does very well cleaning. Just my two cents though, don't put any discs that have a golden look to them (such as xbox 360 games). They will become unreadable.
