Hello everyone, I'm wondering if my laptop is blu-ray and UHD compatible. I purchased an external blu-ray drive, but it does not play discs with powerdvd. I was considering getting an internal UHD drive as I believe my external drive is defective, before I buy anything I was wondering if this system is Blu-Ray/UHD ready. Specs: ASUS ROG G752VL-BHI7N32 Intel Core i7-6700 HQ Processor (2.6GHz Base Speed, 3.5GHz Turbo Speed) (4 Cores, 8 Threads) 17.3" LED-LCD Display (1920x1080 Resolution) 12GB DDR4 2133 Mhz RAM (Upgradeable To 64GB RAM) 1TB 5400 RPM Hard Drive 2 M.2 Raid Slots NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M Graphics (2GB Card) Windows 7 Pro (64-Bit) 6MB L3 Cache DVD Writer 1 HDMI Port 4 USB Ports (USB 2.0 and 3.0) Built-In Bluetooth
Have u tried contacting the vendor or asking the question on the ASUS forum. i dont see why it shouldn't work did the external dvd come with drivers?
If your display is only 1080p then why care about UHD/4K anyway. Are you sure you have a blu-ray drive? Maybe it's a DVD-RW. Cyberlink have a tool called BD Adviser. it can analyze your system & generate a report... If your powerdvd came bundled (OEM) with your notebook then it would probably need to be updated...
.........................................good point. **abandons UHD** It's a blu-ray drive. The drive recognizes the discs, but doesn't play them. It is the OEM Version. I'll check with cyberlink for updates and possibly getting a retail version.
It did. I fixed the issue. I installed windvd and it played the discs so there must be an issue with powerdvd. I will use windvd for now.
