Blu-ray Player|My First Blu-Ray Experience
Knowing the movie as well as I do, I thought I had every detail down, but the Blu-Ray version was much more detailed, bringing out details that I didn’t even knew existed. Playback was in a word -spectacular! Audio was excellent, too! To make sure that was not a fluke, I inserted the Blu-Ray version of Poseidon – the 2005 remake of “The Poseidon Adventure” – and found that in terms of clarity and visuals, it was truly awesome, and that Blu-Ray was not a fluke, and that this little drive was not a fluke, either. In addition to Blu-Ray playback, it is also a DVD multi burner, with Light Scribe technology. For forty-nine dollars, it was a real deal, and I look forward to the next step – getting Blu-Ray/DVD combos for my two desktops!
NB! Above is a photo of the drive. It is an HP, and is designed to run on the computer’s power supply, although there is provision for AC power as well!
Update
Since writing this several months ago, I have since tried this out with several different Blu-ray player software – namely CyberLink’s PowerDVD version 13, and Nero2014 Platinum. Both worked very well – playback was clear and clean, and there was no hesitation whatsoever. Erlier in this blog, I mentioned that I was going to get blu-ray/dvd combo drives (external) like these for my two desktops, but as time went on, I decided to go a different route. It wasn’t because of this drive, not at all, but because technology advanced, as did my own knowledge. More to come in a later post.
