Hey everyone. Can you use a wd my passport for mac on pc. I just purchased the Samsung Slim Portable DVD Writer SE-208 for my Macbook Air that I received for my birthday, however, I'm a little bit cautious to use it. Verizon media manager for mac download windows 7. The samsung se 208ab external dvd drive is a suitable alternative to apples superdrive which is very overpriced. This DVD drive works really well for macbooks and netbooks or all in one computers.
Thanks to you all, I am now further advanced. The SE-208AB DOES work straight out of the box! My confusion came about because it is difficult to properly place the disk on the tray due to 3 little spring loaded lugs that stick out beyond the diameter of the disk's hole. I realise that this is to make the disk secure but it could easily damage (enlarge) the disk's centre hole (since it has to be forced) and this could make the disk wobble in time. Because of this I assumed (wrongly) there must be some software to retract these lugs when the tray is opened.
My Hi Fi friends are paranoid about enlarging the holes in their CDs. Otherwise the SE-208AB is working well so far except it won't play back.vob files that I have converted from MPEG4 files using Flv Crunch (free version). (Yes, you guessed it, I'm a novice at this but am learning quickly, in no smal part due to the generosity of forum contributors. Take a bow, one and all!!). Update to this thread. I have used this same drive for several years without problem.
After upgrading to Yosemite on my mid 2009 Macbook pro the drive no longer appears to work. When I put a CD or DVD, or even blank CD-R in the drive. The green light flashes a few times, but nothing shows up on the desktop.
I cannot locate any support page for this drive on the Samsung site. I'm concluding that they have stopped supporting this drive and new drivers are no longer available. A bit sad for a device only 3 years old.
