I wouldn't recommend the included software for burning -- ImgBurn works MUCH better and is easier to use -- plus, it's free. 12 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Good, but ... By SM I've had this drive for two months now on a Windows 7 64-bit. Worked beautifully for laying blu-ray disks. (Haven't tried burning BD.) However I did a firmware update (that the LG software suggested and did automatically) and now the eject button doesn't open the tray. Windows "My Computer" doesn't even have it as part of the installed devices. So what do I say? As an old Mac user this is all new to me; but I hear that this type of thing is par for the course in Windows. If I find a solution (which I sure hope since I can't play any blu-ray right now) I'll post it. The included software from Cyberlink isn't much to write home about. Although you can do the basic things with it. Update on firmware travails: Spoke to LG. Turns out their R&D knew that the firmware that they had pushed was bad and could make the drive unusable. But what kind of idiotic organization keeps pushing it after they know it's bad?! Aaaargh. At least they were decent enough to let me exchange. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
