Any Blu-ray Drive Compatible with Mac? - Blu-ray Forum

jceperley · 08-02-2008, 02:44 AM

I'm looking for an external BD Drive that would be able to work with my imac (running Leopard). So far, I haven't seen anything. Yesterday at work I noticed an LG drive we just got in (the BE06, which burns BDs and reads old HD DUDs, and for about $400, which in doing some research appears it wouldn't work, so the search continues. Is there a BD drive that will work with my imac? Do I have to wait until Apple offically comes up with something themselves? Or would the LG (BE06) that I've found work?

All BD drives released will work with a Mac. However, all you can really do is read data and write data/movies with Toast Titanium. There is no Blu-ray playback software yet for Mac. The rumor forever has been that iDVD will eventually do it, but that's on Apple's timeline, so...
