AnswerNo. The CD+G format is not compatible with the DVD drives on Apple machines. Best to buy an external USB powered DVD/CD drive which supports the format.

Best Answer:
Most games come either on CD's or DVD's. Either way, I can guarantee the SuperDrive will work with your game. Although, you should make sure that your Mac's specs match the requirements listed on your game's packaging. If your game doesn't work, most likely it will be because your computer did not meet the minimum requirements, and not because the SuperDrive wasn't able to play it.

AnswerNo. Certain images and videos are protected, and as a result, won't be shown on your TV from the Apply TV. Instead, you'll see a grey and white checkerboard pattern.

can the usb superdrive be hooked up to a normal TV?
I have a dvd drive in my macbook pro that works just fine, but i like to multitask on my down time. so can the USB SuperDrive be hooked up to a normal TV that way i can watch a movie and still be able to use my mac for other things? If not, is there a way to work around that by hooking it up to a secondary unit that routs into the TV?

- Flag as inappropriate (can the usb superdrive be hooked up to a normal TV?)
Best Answer:No you can't hook it up to your TV. This is only really made for Macs that don't have an optical drive built in. Honestly, I would just buy a basic DVD player. They're cheaper as well.
