Will I be able to burn home videos that have been transferred to my Mac, using these DL discs in an Apple USB SuperDrive

Yes, I burned videos with the drive in my iMac. Keep in mind that format and size (MB's) are factors.

Ok first you have to make sure that your DVD burner excepts double layer DVDs and if it does,then you should be able to burn your vids onto the disks,I hope this helped you.

No, you would need an actual External Hard Drive, like a Western Digital 1 Terrabyte drive, for instance, to back up using your Mac's built in "Time Machine" software. This Superdrive is for reading and burning CD's and DVD's to and from your computer. You could burn documents, pictures, etc onto a DVD or CD, but that is much more laborious. Hope this helps.

I can't say. I have a PC and a Mac and I only use it on the PC, I know it's not compatible with the Mac. However I do use freeware, "Handbrake" and "VLC Media" on the PC because I find the PowerDirector incredibly un-intuitive and I've not even been able to produce a dvd with it. I do, however, make raw footage dvd's with Handbrake and then load them on the Mac and use Movie Maker to create the finished product. Bottom line, I wouldn't buy PowerDirector again. But that's just me.

It really can't be easier to do, it's plug and play on any mac. I'm a video editor and this is actually my favorite hdd brand. I have read several bad comments but beside the ones I own @ work we have about 15 of them including raids and smaller discs and it's been about 3 years and no failure so far ( we use them 7 days a week some we never unplug or disconnect)

im sure it will work, but the thing is if the usb port (not on your mac) does not have external power supply, it will drain power from your mac. it is best to get the one that has external power supply. you might want to get a second opinion from where got your mac. you probably dont need this device just to connect the SuperDrive, you could just connect is straight to it, unless you have other devices you want to connected simultaneously.

Haven't tried making CD's yet, but I do know I can that it works on my MAC and I can play DVD's. I have an old MAC that runs on OS X. I guess you can try it, I would.

The first thing you have to do is to make sure that the drive is set to the format your MAC uses. It should work perfectly fine.

This is just the divice; it does not come with the software; that has to be downloaded for your specific operating system. There is more than one choice for the software, (more that one brand name). It is tricky to work correctly on a MAC for Blu-ray, but DVDs work much better. Almost all software available will play DVD an CD on this drive. Apple does not have a business interest supporting external drives like blu-ray, since most of its software, applications, entertainment, are available through iTunes. very respectfully, Curtthom@cox.net, Frankfurt, Germany

I just recently purchased a MacBook pro with a DVD burner. I asked at the Apple Store about the newest MacBooks and was told they no longer make them with a built in DVD burner. You have to purchase that separately and connect using the USB port.

I wouldn't take a chance. It was supposed to work on my Imac and it read CD's and DVD's but wouldn't burn a DVD. I got a new drive from Apple and it works like a charm. I don't trust this product.

Lisa, I'm sorry. I don't know. (I'm not much of a computer expert, and I don't want to tell you wrong.) when I started to play a cd I was really surprised that my new Mac mini top of the line didn't have a superdrive. I guess everything is going toward streaming. I think I would visit the apple store just to be sure. Those guy's and gals know everything about Mac. Good luck. I'm sure they can help you out!

I personally wouldn't recommend buying them. I het a write error on every burning software I've used. I will spend more to get TDK or Verbatim.

Since I do not have a Mac Super drive, I truly do not know. Other users indicate that they should work just fine.

No, it will not burn DVD. Also Apple does not support older operating systems, therefore you cannot install and use software. Beautiful and functional, but limit to what you can do with it.

Yes, I bought this Tripp Lite FireWire and plugged it into my SonyHandycam and it worked great. On your Macbook air, you will need to run the older version of iMovie 9.0.0 which shows up easily when you type iMovie into the search box on your Macbook. iMovie HD (the newer version) does not support this transfer process. Then use iDVD to burn the DVDs by selecting Share/iDVD from the iMovie 9.0.9 drop down menu

Hi there, almost all kind of videos I've been played on it, mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, flv with no problem. I've used dlna to share the videos from mac and pc. I hope this will help.
