MCE offers 8X Blu-ray burner for Mac

9 April 2009 17:33 by James "Dela" Delahunty | 1 comment

MCE Technologies has begun shipping its new 8X Blu-ray Recordable Drive for Mac Pro and Power Mac, starting at $399. It is natively compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.2 or later, although Mac OS X does not support the viewing of store-bought Blu-ray movie titles at this time. Nevertheless, the drive can burn Blu-ray discs at up to 8x speed, DVD+-R media at up to 16X and CD-R media at up to 32x.

With Mac OS X 10.5.2 or later, you can record directly from the Finder without needing additional software. Creating Blu-ray discs required third-party software such as Adobe Premier Pro, Final Cut Pro and Roxio Toast 10 Pro. MCE also offers a version specific to 2009-era Mac Pros and an external recorder equipped with USB 2.0 and external Serial ATA (eSATA) connections.

Stay away from MCE Technologies! They are rip off artists. They never have what they advertise in stock and they take your money and refuse to ship the item and even refund your money when they don't ship your item. What a joke. I hope that no one else gets ripped off from them. They should be reported for fraud. [ + quote] This message has been edited since posting. Last time this message was edited on 10 April 2009 18:46
