I have burned several projects using Vegas as well as DVDA5 with this burner without a single coaster....I love it....
Only limitations with USB2 is a 6x burning speed limit with Bluray, but very little Media is available at 6x ...

The BlueRay burner you describe is an LG model now also being shown at Circuit City and Best Buy which, by the description by LG, Newegg and confirmed at the above stores, has a SATA interface.

Is this equivalent or compatible to your stated USB2 ? How ?

My PC (HP Pavilion a250n) has USB and Firewire interfaces and internal IDE. Wiil I be out of luck ?

Yes the LG Burner requires a SATA connection, the portable enclosure that I bought had a SATA connection for the Burner to connect to, I now just plug it into my USB 2 on my Desktop or Laptop and I am good to go....So long as you use the enclosure and USB 2 connections it will work fine for you...

I have this drive and so far cannot get it to burn successfully to a BD-RE disc. During the burn process, it will hang at 0% for quite sometime then immediately jump to 99%. DVDA shows a successful burn but it won't play....

Did you first update the firmware on the drive ? will it burn a bluray with the included software....It should burn BD-RE discs, mine has been flawless with BD-RE and BD-R....
