I'm just - as I type - migrating the contents of my old G5 to a shiny new 8core Mac Pro but before I go and install my LG 4x BD Burner I have a question that I can't seem to get a definitive answer to.....
I currently use a USB enclosure for the LG BD Burner and have had no problems burning data disks in Toast 8.0.3. It can't do Video disks as that's a limitation of the software which is fine. Going to install Adobe Encore to help with that.
I've read lots of reports of BDR and BDRE disks not even showing up if the LG is installed in the 2nd optical disk bay of the Mac Pro when using internal SATA connection from the motherboard? But USB works fine. Is this true?
So I guess my questions are if I connect the LG using the internal SATA connections:
will the BD burner allow me to burn BD data disks using Toast? (works fine currently on the G5 using an external USB enclosure)
will it burn BD Video disks using Encore? (not yet installed)
Anyone any recent experience of using this burner with an internal SATA connection? Or should I just stay with USB?
Thanks
Steve
