Recommended Blu Ray Burner

[danmac520]

I recently bought a new ASUS laptop and promptly re-installed IdealDVD. After multiple attempts to copy a movie and numerous discussions with support, we determined that the MATSHITA drive in my new laptop is configured to prevent copying movies. I am using this as an opportunity/excuse to buy an external Blu Ray burner. I don't really want to spend a lot of money on this. Can I get recommendations for reasonably priced Blu Ray burners, please?
Thanks,
Dan

As far as I know, only matshita brand has such problem, so I think other brand of blu ray burner should be all ok. You may visit http://forum.videohelp.com/forums/22-DV ... c6d385c733 to get some references. Or you can search more by GOOGLE to see what other users think.

In addition, did you try my advice "set your MATSHITA drive to region 1"? And did you still fail?

It was already set that way so, no it failed. I bought a Samsung SE-506 External Blu-Ray drive. How do I get IdealDVD to use it as the source drive?
Thanks,
Dan

Also, Ideal doesn't seem to recognize the external drive as a DVD drive. I try changing "Source" to "from hard disk" & choose the new drive. No luck.

The intneral burning engine of ideal blu-ray copy should can recognize external burner. Now, please switch the burning engine to "ImgBurn" to try.
You may click the configure button on the top right of the main form, then click "Burning" tab, choose "ImgBurn" from the "Burning engine" dropdown list to try again.

If your issue persists, please click on the main form,click "Export log file" menu, save the exported file and send it to our support team, we'll check what's wrong then help you as soon as possible.
