You need bluRay software for playback (http://www.macblurayplayer.com/) or recording (Toast)

your TV needs to have a HDMI port. If it does, this BluRay will work for you.

You need to convert the AVI files to MOV format and the Apple iMac needs to be able to play HD. This is a great product by the way.

Yes. It comes with software to play blu ray discs on a PC. It does NOT come with any for Mac.

You need to buy software to play Bluray movies. It has to do with Sony's stupid licensing for Bluray. So yeah, if you want to play movies on bluray you will have to spend an extra 50 bucks.

Nope, Sorry, you can't. You can use a Western Digital Media Player, Roko or a newer Bluray player.

on a mac you go to system preferences then hit sound and click hdmi for audio output

...further investigation; If you have a Mac you simply hold the 'command' button down and click on the speaker icon at the top of your screen. This opens a dialogue box and allows you to select HDMI as your sound output...worked for me.

I use the optical connection from my TV. So two other inputs are available, RCA type right and left and a minijack. So if your bluray can adapt to either of these two inputs, the answer is yes.

Mac's do not inherently support blu ray, however, there are multiple options for free software that will play blu ray's from this drive on your mac with no issue. Personally I use VLC player.

I have used it on a Mac with Mac Blu-Ray Player. I suspect a Windows machine will need a software player. You need two USB ports to use the player and the cable may be too short to reach a second port, but a USB extension works fine.

Codec rights have made it pretty tricky to play blurays on pc's. There's 2 good ways that I have found to make it work efficiently. "PowerDVD HD" is a program you can download to play blurays. It has native support for 3D and everything. I had a bad experience with it though because it would constantly skip around and some images would randomly appear corrupted. The best option for me was to obtain a copy of AnyDVD HD. That will make blurays playable in any media player, but will always be running in the background.

Yes, you will need additional software to play the Blu-Ray format. Google Mac Blu-Ray player and you will find both paid and free software for doing so.
