Win 8.1 w/ lg external usb br burner. plays br fine. won't read br blanks. why?

An obvious question --- is your LG a BD-Rom (Blu-Ray reader only) or is it a BD-R? Use the FREE program Imgburn and UPDATE your Firmware ---- Updating your Firmware will fix most if not all of your problems and DON'T burn your discs faster than what it is rated for even if your software allows it, that is what causes Coasters.

It may e the burner itself. I have one that does the same thing. I upgrade to a buffalo brxl-pc6u2 external player/burner. Now it works fine. Also have you updated the firmware. Try looking in the help tab. Good luck

I have a similar problem with mine. When I plug the player in, the software doesn't recognize it. I've tried different ports , too. (USB1&2) I never get the green audio lines on the graph. I tried reinstalling several times. In my review I stated that I payed for nothing more than a Walkman.

Showed me the same message and my provider sent me a FILE with correct driver. Check with your provider to get this driver.Mu msr606 reader, now its working fine.

I dont currently have windows 8, but it might be the file type of the video. Maybe try converting it to a different file type.

I run Linux on my PC, so I can't address the Windows issue. And I don't think I even used the USB interface at all ... I just used the "line-level" output, and plugged that directly into my PC's sound card, and that worked perfectly.

I only have windows 7. But had a similar problem with a western digital USB drive. I returned the drive & problem was solved.

I used "HL-340" Drivers, which apparently is this item's technical term ?? And it worked completely fine for me! :) Mine didn't come with any CD for Drivers, the item was plug n play on my Win 8.1 machine, but came across a stand still when using it on Windows 7 For whatever odd reason, so I did some digging around and found this... Here is the mediafire link from one of the Chinese manufacturers from this product: http://www.mediafire.com/download/1d8ltbazbwz3wrm/HL-340.rar Hopefully this helps some people! Item works fine with me, I can putty all day long! :) (as stated in one other posted answer of mine >_<) I used "HL-340" Drivers, which apparently is this item's technical term ??

This is probably 1 of 2 issues, either you arent plugging it in all the way and its losing connection, or your usb port is going bad/isnt up to date/is conflicting. I have win 8 64 bit and only the laser sensei fnatic installed for mice and all system drivers up to date, and it works flawlessly on a usb 3.0 port.

No problems at all playing CD-Rs for me and I have tried dozens. If you have problems, it may have to do with the media your using(I use Maxell CD-R Music discs), your burning software(I use CDBurnerXP on Windows 7) or maybe you got a defective player.

I get the same thing, Tried Win7 and XP with same results. First time I took it out of the box it worked fine but now will record or turn on, reset does not work either. Tried quick + full format with same results. Must be defective, will have to return it.

I have the same problem with one of my LaCie's, I have 6 of them. I know the reason it doesn't work on Win7, and it's my fault. I didn't format the drive correctly when I first got it. All the others work great with all systems. So I can't blame the company.

Using it successfully with Win 7 home. Win 7 saw it without driver disk use. Don't know re 8.1.

I have a feeling it is a limitation in the GUI itself. It cuts off stuff on the USB sticks my father uses all the time and the manual also says nothing about resolving it - so i'm sorta figuring just a text limitation. A sad oversight by the engineers but also could just be a product of not being allowed to use a better quality chip or software.
