  • QuestionHi, I have two questions 1) Does it write/read UHD blu Ray? 2) Can it be used as a BD player to playback on an LG TV with USB 3.0? Thanks in advance.

    Asked by Eddy.

    • Answer 1 - This drive does write Blu Ray with support for BDXL™ discs. 2 - The drive does support USB 3.0 but as to the question of playback on a TV, that would be a function of the TV. http://www.lg.com/us/burners-drives/lg-BE16NU50-external-blu-ray-dvd-drive

  • QuestionDoes this drive work with Windows 10 writing M-Disc's at 50GB and 100GB.? I'll use it for backing up photo files.

    Asked by Howard.

    • Answer Obviously no one has tried to burn to a BDXL M-Disc. I bought this unit for archiving important files to M-Disc media. First time out the gate with some Verbatim BDXL M-DISC media (100Gb). Only recognized the discs at being 25Gb... upgraded the firmware to V1.02 for "additional media support". Rebooted, then it recognized the media as 100Gb. Tried to burn files to the media. Got an error saying media was not compatible. Called LG Tech Support... They told me the drive only supports single layer BDXL media at 25Gb. Loaded another disc and it was back to only recognizing it as 25Gb media. This thing is a scam with regard to its ability to use M-Disc media. If you are hoping to burn 100Gb M-DISC media (much less 128Gb) to archive all those precious home movies, forget it. It ain't happening. What's most frustrating is that the box that it comes in says it supports 128Gb media and M-DISC media, blah blah blah. Its all hype. I'm going to give LG tech support one more chance to come up with a solution or this junker is going back to Best Buy.

  • Questioncan the lg be16nu50 blu-ray writer connect to an outdoor movie projector?

    Asked by rvrdoowop.

    • Answer As the device only has a usb connector; I doubt it. You also need a pc for the playback software. It would be better for you to just buy a regular blu-ray player.
