Rating: - Sony Blu-ray Player Review from Owner
Bought this player a couple weeks ago online on back says may not be able to play mainstream movies. Why? Thats why I bought it:( using Power DVD wont play blu-rays on computer. It says on back to visit a webpage and guess what page doesnt exsist. Im opionion its just another example of how this current government is letting imports from corporation pass into this country without any restrictions. It burns blu-ray media fine but BD-R doent play on all players isnt that great:(Sony BWU200S DVD+/-RW Blu-ray Disc Serial ATA (SATA) Drive
Rating: - 2nd generation Blu-ray burner
I traded a good working Lite-On Blu-ray burner for this one because it can record 4x (with the right media) and can burn dual layer (with the right media). I archive video clips to Blu-ray disc and this burner is the hub of my archive workflow, so speed and capacity are important. So far the Sony 200S works great. The only annoying thing was having to download an updated software file from Sony in order to play commercial Blu-ray discs.

Aside from writing data Editing software does not handle AVCHD files at all. Pinnacle studio 11 just freezes and goes away. Maybe Sony's Vega would work better, but at that price $1000 and more!!!
Rating: - Sony Blu-ray Recorder
Excellent product. Copies movies (decode to write)in 14 minutes and makes perfect copies. Works very well with Blu-ray and DVD media. Quite impresssed with this unit. Would recommend it to everyone in the market for a Blu-ray burner. On the pricey side, but worth it.
Rating: - Major Upgrade to Blu-Ray Recording Options
I purchased this item earlier this month and installed it in an external SATA case (which I had to jerry-rig because 5.25" eSATA enclosures aren't generally available yet). I have been VERY pleased with its performance! I've used it with both my PC (4G RAM, Athlon processor, Gigabyte motherboard) running XP Pro (SP2)and with my dual-G5 PowerMac. So far I haven't burned any BD disks (that will come when I get material that requires it), but the drive has performed flawlessly in burning (and reading) DVD's and CD's.
I'm not sure why Sony decided to make this a SATA drive instead of a ... Read More
