  • Multi-format DVD burner, Blu-ray playback, relatively quiet operation

  • Those of you looking for a new DVD burner with Blu-ray playback will be pleased with this drive. It exceeded our expectations in many of our tests and it was a fairly inconspicuous operator. We just wish it had a faster-rated speed for burning double-l...

  • The ASUS BC-1205PT is not only a very capable Blu-ray reader but is also excellent at burning those DVDs and installing those games. The thing is though, while this is all fantastic we would recommend that if the space is available that you get a stan...

  • Abstract:  The BC-1205PT is a SATA DVD writer that can also read Blu-ray discs. It cant write data to blank Blu-ray discs, but Blu-ray writers are a lot more expensive. We had no trouble watching our Blu-ray movies using the included copy of CyberLink PowerDV...

  • Abstract:  With Blu-ray taking tentative steps towards mainstream acceptance, its heartening to see prices dropping. Blu-ray writers such as the Lite-On LH-2B1S (web ID: 110688) are tempting, but, at £400, theyre out of range for those with ambitious media-c...

  • Turns your PC into a Blu-ray player.
  • Pricey; relatively slow burning speeds for DVDR and CDR.
  • In terms of performance, the Asus BC-1205PT works just fine, reading most of my Blu-ray discs with no problems. The only problem with this drive is the price — at RM2,000, it’s a little steep for a Blu-ray drive, considering that Sony makes a...

  • Its about time that consumers finally get a reasonably priced drive that can handle the new HD formats without having to shell out ludicrous amounts of money. Although such scenarios inevitably happens with every major shift in technology, this move b...

  • Asus BC-1205PT proved itself as a very fast and reliable drive. With price set at about US$250, it is still miles away from the price point of classic DVD-RW drives, but for that price beside good DVD-RW you also get Blu-ray player, so if you’re thi...

  • Le lecteur Bluray, Les multiples formats DVD supportés, Les vitesses décriture
  • Rien
  • Ce nest pas une première. Pioneer, entre autres, est déjà passé par là. Pourtant voir une offre de produits se diversifier est toujours une bonne nouvelle. Ainsi Asus entre-t-il dans la course au lecteur Blu-ray à intégrer dans une tour avec son BC-12...

  • Abstract:  Dette Blu-ray-drev fra ASUS leveres med en udmærket programpakke fra CyberLink, der både viser film og udnytter drevets dvd-brænding. Målingsmæssigt er drevet gennemsnitligt. Det overholder de lovede hastigheder udmærket, men specielt ved dvd-brænding ...

  • Modsat HD-DVD så yder Blu-ray drevet en acceptabel hastighed og dette kan nemt give det en fordel når det gælder om at indtage rolle som fremtidigt medie for PC verdenen. Brændere er også en smule mere almindelige. Innovation/Teknologi - 4Blu...
