First should say I live in England - tried to connect to A UK forum/discussion, site kept bringing me back to the USA! The internal DVD drive on my iMac suddenly stopped working, so I bought an external Apple DVD drive for about $100, which turned out to be incompatible with pre- 2011 iMacs. Then I bought the Samsung Portable DVD Writer SE-208, ($30!)I plugged in, it played! Watched a DVD movie immediately. I wanted also to use it: (a) to connect my iPad to a Grundig TV with a HDMI 1 socket (plus AV, scart, & universal sockets) to mirror the iPad, & (b) to connect the Samsung itself to the TV for playing DVDS. Seemed simple; I'd need an iPad to HDMI adapter, & then an HDMI to HDMI cable, (pref gold plated, with FerriteCore)! 100s available, looked through reviews - & found some people warning that sellers/producers are claiming their adapters to be compatible with all iPads & phones, which they're not, won't with latest iPad.
Emailed a company that sells a wide range, & asked exactly which ones I needed to buy. Their 2 line reply wasn't reassuring! They were vague about mirroring iPads, but were absolutely certain that the Samsung Portable definitely can't play DVDs through a TV.
Not the impression I got from the tech spec when I bought it! Any suggestions? (I know system's different in US, but I just saw a thread here about this model of Samsung - just wouldn't let me ask a question! ) Will I be able to mirror iPad, using cables I mentioned? I know this isn't a Mac question, but just in case.is there any way to get this Samsung playing DVD through TV? If not, is there an alternative that'll do that & work so well with my iMac?
Finally, (phew!) I've always understood there's no way to connect an external optical DVD drive to an iPad - a friend just told me I'm wrong. In this case I'd really love to be! Is it really possible? Kind regards, and thanks for any help anyone can offer. Apple Footer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Performs exactly as advertised I use my DVD-Writer by Samsung to burn CDs/DVDs and upload new programs (when necessary). The Samsung SE-208GB/RSBD has a small footprint which works great with my space limitations. However small doesn't mean one has to compromise on performance.
It burns a file to CD or DVD in a short time and it uploads very quickly too. No downtime waiting for the Samsung to get these jobs done.
So far I haven't found anything that is not great about this device. It does everything I need and has performed flawlessly. I use a Mac so getting started was as simple as plugging in the USB and getting started. Rated 3 out of 5 by Lucy from Good for the price It worked as it should. I bought another one months back. There is a price difference of about three dollars because of the color.
The light blue one cost less than the one that was black. No difference in performance.
It is lightweight and compact and I like that a lot about it. I strictly used it to see and hear a disk that came with a textbook that I got at the library. I used the DVD-writer to copy the disk.
The USB DVD-writer worked well. I am only rating it three stars because I just think it should be cheaper than it is. It is a simple gadget. After saying that, it cost about $ than about $35. Rated 4 out of 5 by Richard K.
From Does the job well I needed this as the dvd player in my laptop broke and it would have cost around $ to replace it.This fits the bill perfectly, it is light and small. It has worked without any issues do far.The price can't be beat.The only negatives are that it is very thin and not sturdy, so you will have to protect it. The place where you press is not as well marked as I would like, so it takes get used to where you need to press.I would recommend it to anyone who needs something small and portable.
