External DVD drive
So I recently bought a cheap and cheerful external DVD drive for my iMac as I enjoy watching the occasional DVD.
It's proving nigh on impossible to use as I can't get the device recognised by the Mac. I plug it in via USB put a DVD in and I get loads of noise and flashing lights but all quietens down after about 10 seconds and nothing showing in locations.
If I then plug the player into one of the other USB sockets the process starts again but nothing in locations. My success rate of actually getting the player recognised is about 1 in 10 moves of the USB and it appears completely random as to whether it will work or not!!
I know you're all screaming "should have bought a better player" but is that really it? Or am I missing something obvious?
Thanks
