Dell :: Bluray Drive In Sxps 1640
Apr 10, 2009I am probably getting the sxps 1640 and I was wondering would a bluray drive be worth it? I do have a Sony 40v4100 lcd tv. Can this drive output 24p through the hdmi port? And why isnt it a bluray burner like the xps m1530 line? How hard would it be to swap in a bluray drive, do you have to pull the whole computer apart to do so? Should I just spend the money on an external bluray player for my tv?

Apr 23, 2010I have had this laptop for just about a week and a half, and although last week it played "The Dark Knight" BluRay disc, it will not play any bluray at this point in time.
The Acer Arcade Deluxe program is apparently supposed to do that function, but it will not. I have updated the software for AAD a couple of times. I have tried reinstalling it, I have tried checking the driver for the multi-drive. All to no avail!
Right now the Device Manager calls the optical drive a CD-Rom. I do not know if it was a Windowes update that screwed things up, or what, but what is the point of buying a laptop with a blu-ray drive, when 10 days later it won't play a blu-ray disc?

Mar 22, 2009I was about to cancel my original order, as I wanted to go for the bluray.. but in cancelling the order, it appears the 30+ percent coupon code i used has expired as of today.. so for now i'm holding off..
I've seen on the internet, the bluray player or one of them, i think, that this model uses..

Does anyone know if its possible to later on, swap the drives out.. doesnt this involve opening it up.. (void warranty?)...
Dell :: Bluray Drive + Transformer Revenge Of The Fallen Audio Issues
Feb 16, 2010This is for anyone with a 1640/45 possibly same thing on the 47 since they're all virtually identical save processor.
If you have the above plus a bluray drive (specifically the Bluray 4x RE) and Transformers 2 on bluray.
Do you notice that when playing the game there is a lot of crazy distortion sounds and popping noises? Never truly the same or in the same place.
I had this problem with my 1640 and my new 1645.
1640 was P8800, Ati 3670 and similar features as listed in my new configuration.
Bios updates don't seem to have resolved this issue, neither has different laptops. Only thing left is to check if this is specific to my copy of transformers.
I've not really checked to see if this is replicated via other titles but thats next on my list of things to figure out if this thread doesn't garner any useful results.
Acer :: Could Timeline AS3810T-6775 Support External Bluray Drive
Aug 3, 2009I've been looking at the new timeline series notebooks for a while and got really excited when newegg put up this model for $799! Anyways, I plan on getting an external drive and was just wondering if the SU9400 with Intel GMA 4500MHD could support playing a bluray disk on an external drive? From what I'm gathering through the numerous posts about these models, it appears that the SU9400 should playback 1080P off various websites but I couldn't find any info about a bluray player.
If so any suggestions on a compact inexpensive external bluray drive?
Sony :: VGN-FW200Playing BluRay
Apr 13, 2010I went to play a movie, and it froze during the beginning previews. I once got it all the way to the title menu, but it froze when starting to play the movie. I had to eject the disc, because the entire program locked up. So I tried a different disc, same thing. I tried a DVD, and it worked just fine. :/
It never freezes in the same spot. Sometimes it freezes when its inbetween different preview or loading the menu.
I'm using Intervideo WinDvd BD for Vaio. (version 8, I believe). I tried finding an update driver on the sony support site, but it doesn't list it on my model's page.
Intervideo is now Corel apparently, and they only support version 9 and up.
I tried a system restore, because last week I was able to play a movie just fine, but there was no change.
I can't find much support for this kind of problem.
Computer specs.
-Sony Vaio VGN-FW200 series
-Windows Vista 64
-Intervideo Win DVD BD for Vaio, vs.8

Sony :: Can Z Run Full Bluray 1080p On Integrated Graphics
May 9, 2010For maximum battery life, can the Z run full 1080p Bluray on the integrated graphics card and not use the 'external' graphics card? This is query for both old and new Z.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSony :: Z Series BluRay Pictures And DisassemblyUJ232A And UJ242ABSX2-S
May 8, 2010The BluRay drive in my Z11 died sometime last week (UJ242ABSX2-S). After some deliberation, I've made the decision to sit on the warranty claim for now and replace the drive with a 1TB WD hard drive (yes, I know is it 12.5 mm. I believe it will fit).
Simply put, I don't need an optical drive but since the drive cost $500, I'll have it serviced at some point, just not now.
While pulling the BR drive from the Z11, I thought I'd give the BR drive from my Z591 a go in the new machine (UJ232A). It fit in the chassis as you would expect, but you can't fully screw it in place (easily fixed with some sticky tape). It functioned fine; read/write, keyboard eject button, etc.
Also, I believe the faceplate from the X will work with the Z11 with some light modification to the plastic clips. Doing this would be permanent, so I didn't try.
If you haven't noticed already from my other posts, I have little to no hesitation when it comes to pulling stuff apart. This is further reinforced when I pulled the UJ242ABSX2-S apart to take a look at the internals.
Sony :: Bluray Panasonic UJ-232A And Panasonic UJ-242A Differences
Mar 19, 2010Hi i have considered getting a bluray drive for my Sony. I have gathered that these Lenovo's bluray drives likely can be used if they are stripped and i use my own bezel.
The UJ232A does not support DVD+R Double Layer and DVD-R Double Layer and i use this media and it is cheaper than the bluray alternative.
Sony :: Sticking Hard Drive Or SSD In DVD Drive Of Vaio Z
Feb 26, 2009who opened I believe Z and connected a hard drive to dvd drive connector while leaving dvd drive in for cosmetic reasons. Can't find this thread. Where exactly can the hard drive go? Inside the tray?
I am afraid there will be too much vibration if I put regular HD there. For this reason I would rather put there SSD but is there a way to make this a primary OS drive? Seems like last bios allows to boot from optical drive.
Dell :: XPS 16 (Bluray And Memory)...
Apr 10, 2010I have been hearing that the read/playback performance of the bluray drive on this laptop is terrible. Some say that it stutters all the way through an entire movie and it is very loud. Is this true? My second question is about the $375 charge for upgrading from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM. Is it overpriced? Also, how easy is it to upgrade the RAM on the XPS 16?

Dell :: UJ-225b Bluray In M1710
Apr 11, 2008Was looking at Panasonic UJ-225B as a blu-ray writer drive for an upgrade of the DVD writer in my xps m1710. It is a slot loading drive and runs at x2 BD-R writing speeds.
Ridiculously expensive at the moment here in the UK (£325+VAT), so I have to be sure that it would fit/work OK in the Dell notebook before I shell out for it.
Has anyone got this drive fitted in the xps m1710?
