So, does this work? I'd quite like if an ASUS BW-16D1HT could work with Cyberlink PowerDVD 17 for UHD discs.

To answer my own question, it seems unlike DVD M-Discs, BD M-Disc's are regular archive-quality BDs branded with the recognizable name under licence. As such all the same surface quality issues are relevant and Pioneer still performs extremely well.

I'm aware which drives can burn M-Discs, but I haven't found much info on the difference in write quality. Is this a non-issue with M-Discs? I have shortlisted the Asus BW-16D1HT and some Pioneer drives. The Pioneer drives seem to have the edge for writing to dye-based discs, and I wondered if...

This may be a naive question, but how hard would it be to connect the original PS3 optical drive to a computer? UPDATE: Here's a blog about doing exactly that: http://sacd-ripper.blogspot.com/ The summary seems to be that you can plug it straight in using a passive IDE adaptor, but there's no...

or just not available to buy yet?

Hang on, "Rip Lock" sounds like a bad thing (as queried in the OP). I've looked this up now. Are there other bad things or just Rip Lock and Region Lock? I've had good experience with LG drives too so far and I would be happy to stick with LG :-)

...and what good things should I look for? I last looked at BluRay drives over a year ago, and I think at that time I found out that some of the slightly older Pioneer drives had some advantages over newer ones. I don't remember exactly what these advantages were, but I remember that the drives...

Hi James. That's good news, but I get this error with 4.3.3.1 and 4.2.0.2: "Unable to load the CloneCD device driver! After Installation of CloneCD Windows has to be restarted!" The error is still there after re-starting Windows. After I installed the trial of version 5 and removed it...

Is it possible to run CloneCD 4 on 64 bit Windows 7? I haven't been able to get it to work yet. The trial of version 5 worked fine, but my licence is for version 4 (and version 5 is not currently for sale).

Update It seems that the best way of converting from .cue/.bin to .ccd/.img is still to burn the .cue/.bin to a physical CD then rip that CD to .ccd/.img with CloneCD. Why don't the developers allow direct conversion? Why force users to connect an optical drive and burn real discs? Why make...

...it can if you're willing to make the necessary registry changes. Windows is great like that. You could ask on Guru3D or OCUK or try Google. I think I saw the .reg file for this when I was searching for something else yesterday.

A brief summary of everything Hmm, I'm not sure you asked a question. Anyway it sounds like this is to do with the way that software can detect CD-ROM drives. I don't think there's much you can do about it. As I understand it, you want to detect virtual drives in Clone CD. Presumably...

Nope If using .bin format, Virtual CloneDrive doesn't allow you to mount all the tracks of a disc if the tracks are different types. Virtual CloneDrive doesn't support .cue at all. The only software I know of that does mount all tracks from .cue files on Windows 7 x64 is from another...

I would it enormously useful to be able to convert .cue/.bin images to .ccd/.img using Clone CD, even if it was just a command line option. Currently to do this you have to either burn the image to a real disc then use Clone CD to create a .ccd image; or you can use third party tool...
