 Ultra-Compact Portable DVD BurnerMay 17, 2010
By Alan Houston
"alanhouston-texas"
I recently got an Aspire One netbook to have an ultra-light computer in my briefcase on a daily basis. I soon realized it would be nice to have a DVD drive to play and burn DVD's and CD's.
The LG Portable Super Multi-Drive is slim and light, just like my Acer Aspire netbook. Its glossy black top attracts fingerprints, just like the Aspire...they look like they were made for each other.
The LG Drive plugs into a USB port on my netbook, so no bulky power pack is needed. The USB cord has two power plugs, because some USB ports may not put out enough power, so the cord allows plugging into two USB ports to get a higher level of power, if needed. One plug was enough with the Acer.
Because the unit is designed to draw a minimum of power, the DVD tray only pops out about an inch when you press the button. You pull it out the rest of the way manually. It also has a tiny "bobby pin" hole for an emergency release, to open the tray if a DVD gets stuck in the tray.
I used it first to watch a DVD movie I had rented. Windows Media Player with Window 7 produced a terrific picture, but no sound. I downloaded the free VLC media player, and the LG then played back the DVD movie with both a great picture, and nice stereo sound.
When I then played the DVD again using Windows Media Player, WMP also was producing stereo sound. I suspect the VLC player installed an audio codec that Windows 7 was missing, and that codec is now being used by both VLC and Windows to play back DVD movies.
I also used the LG to copy some of my favorite CD's to the Acer's hard drive. The LG did the job quickly and quietly. The LG is small enough and light enough to carry along on a vacation. It converts my Acer netbook into a nice movie player, and lets me listen to music CD's when the movie is over.
I am guessing that a lot of folks using Windows 7 may run into the audio problem when trying to watch a movie DVD. They need to understand that the problem has nothing to do with the LG Drive, it simply means they need to download the free VLC media player and allow it to install the audio codecs that Windows 7 is missing...thanks Bill Gates for leaving essential audio codecs out of Windows 7.

 Does Not Work Properly with MacBook Pro in Spite of What It Says on the BoxDec 22, 2010
By P. R. Wiley
I bought this to supplement the drive in my MacBook Pro which has been acting flaky lately.
It does not very well with a Mac OS X 10.6.5, in spite of the fact that the box says it should work with Mac OS X 10.5.4 or higher. Trying to burn a CD from iTunes, it would burn only one track and then quit -- multiple times. The track could be played from the CD, however the title information was "translated" into an asian language.
There are NO mac-related instructions included. Appropriate support info product is not listed on the LG North America website as of this writing. Search for the model number and one gets multiple model numbers NONE of which match what's in the instructions or on the box.

ReviewFeb 28, 2011
By llamden
This was purchased for work. It was easy to install and use. The only thing negative I could say is that it was purchased as "wine" in color but when it arrived it was black. This is much better for a work environment, but if someone really wanted a "wine" color they would have been disappointed.
