Will this drive play NTSC DVD

- Flag as inappropriate (Will this drive play NTSC DVD)
AnswerYes, it will play DVDs. But read on...
That said, I notice you're from London. What you need to know is that this drive will allow you play any region DVD -initially-. After the fifth time you play DVDs from different regions, the drive assigns the last region permanently.
The UK is region 2. Let's say you play a UK disc, then switch to a US (region 1) disc. You'll be fine. But after five swaps, you'll end up with your drive set to the last region.- Answered by Leigh C from San Jose

Burning DVD's & CD's on Macbook Pro Retina
I am about to purchase a macbook pro and am wondering about creating CD's and DVD's. I know that I need an external superdrive with the retina display. Is this all I need to be able to create and burn a DVD or a CD as I will have to do this as part of my job.

2009 iMac and USB superdrive?
The internal superdrive in my 24-inch, Early 2009 iMac w/2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor has stopped working reliably (and most times, has stopped working at all). Was hoping that adding this external USB superdrive would keep my system limping along, however looking at the system requirements seems to have dashed my dreams of being able to continue to use my iMac in the manner for which it was purchased. Would like to know if I am out of luck here, or is there an alternative?

Best Answer:I just added a usb superdrive to my 2009 iMac 24", and like the others it did not work, as for the reasons given.
it seems that they only work with some macs.
Well looking round the net i found information on things to try nothing worked.
I then found a bit on a sudo command you put in with terminal.
ok your new superdrive dvd/cd rom want work on you mac?
it seems apple made this drive but its not back ward comparable with all macs.
Im told it works with 4 macs, that shipped without internal dvd/cd rom and a mac mini or two..
Well I found this in terminal type
sudo nvram boot-args="mbasd=1" Hit return
I rebooted my iMac and as the iMac was starting up it took the DVD that I had been trying to put in but all it did was push it back out.
Now with this little line of code script my USB superdrive is now working just fine.
I don't know much about this script code apart from what I read on the net, all I know it worked for me with no trouble I have wrote a few DVDS and wrote to a few re-writable CD and DVD with out any thing bad
hope it helps some of you out.

Is the player multi zonal?
Can I play CD's from other zones like Europe or Japan with out having to keep changing the zone number. Changing zone numbers only allows you to do I think four times and then you are stuck with the last one you used.
