Will it also play DVD?

I have had mine since 2016 and I love it. Lightweight and easy to carry with my business class laptop. It has done everything I have asked of it (burning and playing commercial DVD's). However, I purchased Cyberlink Power Director with it in order to be able to have the codex software needed to play commercial DVD movies. As long as you have something with that capability on your system it should work great! I have used it to play them on my laptop and have not had a problem. I imagine this would be great for travel with children. Hope this helps!

What connectors are on this device? What is its power source? Thanks!

The drive comes with USB 2.0 cable that connects the drive to the computer and also powers the device.

Does it come with software to watch BluRay movies and tv shows?

It comes with a premium software to watch Blu-ray movies even at 4k resolution

Will this play a game disk?

Game Discs do not use the Content Scramble System used on DVD-Video discs. It is unlikely they are fully compatible.

Does it play PAL discs?

yes it does play Pal formatted disk but dont forget to use pal format player to see it

Will this drive read 4K (UHD) Blu-rays?

To my knowledge 'No', it is advertised as a Blu-ray player/recorder with no indication of being 4K (UHD) capable. I have recorded Blu-ray, it worked just fine.

Work with MacBook Pro?

I was not able to get this to work with my Mac but I believe it had to do more with the lack of Blu-ray player software for Mac than the player itself.
