I recently purchased an external USB DVD / CD-RW player for my Mac computer. It not include any DVD Player Software. I have been unable to locate any software that plays DVD's on an external DVD for Mac. Their is a DVD player that comes with Mac, but can only be installed if you have an internal Mac DVD

Question 1.
Does anyone know where I can purchase 3rd party DVD player software for Mac? ...

I am wondering what software folks are using to burn with the A05. I bought a bare drive package so naturally it did not come with a bundled software like the DRU-500A did. Nor will any of the software the works with the 500A work with the A05. With my DRU-500A I use the latest version of DVDDcryptor and RecordNow (which came with it) but I am kind of at a loss for the A05. ...

Firmware will work only on the following operating systems;

Windows 98SE
Windows ME
Windows 2000 ...

Now that I've got my DRU500A up and running, I installed both WinDVD and PowerDVD, which both work fine. My question is, what can I do to give either of these software DVD players independent volume control? At this time, neither player adjusts volume on its own, and instead uses the Windows master volume to either mute or adjust the volume.

Dear CDR Labs
