## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work on macs**
A: on iMac 2017 OS Catalina: it will play DVDs — sometimes. I was able to rip (2) Deutsche Grammophon CDs to Apple Music and then it quit: it doesn’t matter whether the CD is CBS, EMI, Deutsche Grammonphon or one that I burned myself on an older Mac, Disc Utility can't mount them and (formerly iTunes) Music can’t read them. They show up on the desktop as “Audio CD.”

**Q: Can this be used to install windows 10 without the need to somehow install a driver first? it's rather tough to do that when trying to install an os.**
A: People are really making this sound hard just plug it into your computer and do any scans it ask I put it on windows 8 and 10 computers. I already ripped 1000 CD's and put them on my MP-4 player and on a Flash Drive in case of a computer crash. I like my type of music not the crap on the radio today and you don't have to listen to everybody's opinion about everything.

**Q: Does this play games like sims 2?**
A: It's played all my games without so much of a skip.

**Q: Does this work with windows 8?**
A: It should work with Windows 8 though I only used with Windows 10. If you insert a DVD and a video player does not start up, you may need a player that will recognize the drive.  On a recommendation from a friend, I installed "VLC media player" and this app opens when I insert a DVD into the Riodadas player. VLC is a free and open source media player that works with all Windows versions.  You can get the player here: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well!
*by B***N on February 22, 2026*

Bought this to rip dvd's to my hard drive for personal use. Has been working perfectly fine after about 25 dvd rips. Takes somewhere between 15 and 50 minutes, depending on the size and content of the dvd. It has had trouble reading one or two of the discs, but generally works across the board. Pretty solid for the price!
