        I bought this bluray writer to copy ACHD video from my SCHD cards to Bluray disks. THe writing works great and the disks play back on this product. I have a Sony 8 year old bluray player and have not been able to get the disks to play back on it. I have also copied DVD disks with this product with no problem.
