Occasionally CD-R and CD-RW discs written by a CD-R/RW drive cannot be read by other
CD drives. These unreadable discs may need to be read using the CD-R/RW drive they
were created with. The disc written using the CD-R/RW drive might not be readable by 
CD-ROMs other than Multi-read compatible (UDF compatible) CD-ROMs. 
Multiread compatible (UDF compatible) CD-ROMs are CD-ROMs that can read low
reflectance and support Packet Write.

❏ 

Please note: 

Certain software (i.e. particularly those including Video playback) may require

a considerably increased specification PC to give acceptable results. While this Blu-ray
Disc Rewriter Drive can read DVD-video or BD-MV(BD-ROM) discs, decoding them to 
display on your pc’s monitor requires separate MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 decoding that is done
by separate hardware (either an MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 decoder card or MPEG, H.264 or
VC-1  decoding done by your video card), or separate software that you install to do
MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 decoding. For further details, refer to the documentation that comes
with MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 software.
