The good news here is that in versions prior to 2.4, I was not having success with Twitter integration either, but it appears that this has been addressed, and Twitter posting works just fine now. Unfortunately, I was unable to see any posts to my wall on behalf of the application after granting the proper permissions to the App, typing up a wall post, and getting the success message. You are also supposed to be able to post to your Facebook wall.

You can make a Tweet from within the application while the movie plays. Social media integration is another thing that Macgo would like to take advantage of when watching a film. During the main feature playback, the sound is crisp, and the picture quality is amazing вЂ“ obviously much more impressive than DVD or Standard Definition Digital (more on that in a bit). The menus and most special features are not supported at this time, but this is a small gripe considering that most people just want to watch the movie.

Mac Blu-ray Player offers full no-frills playback of the main feature. As of late, there seems to be a stronger than ever effort to continue updating the software as seen in the version history with the numerous recent updates (currently at version 2.4.0 as of this writing). Originally reported as somewhat buggy last year, the folks at Macgo have been hard at work improving and perfecting this product. I am fully impressed with how far the technology has come since its introduction over a year ago, making it a viable purchase for anyone using a Mac who may want to take advantage of Blu-ray playback. With drives and portability aside momentarily, Macgo Blu-ray player remains the first and only easy way to play commercial Blu-ray discs in Mac OSВ X, whether with a Mac desktop (which would be more ideal for external drives and larger full-sized internal desktop drives) or a MacBook Pro. Mac Blu-ray Player: The First and Only of Its Kind Just donвЂ™t forget the recommended minimum specification of a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo or you may not experience ideal performance for Blu-ray playback.

#MACGO BLU RAY PLAYER REVIEW PORTABLE#

This gave Macgo Blu-ray Player a limited audience initially for those who wanted convenient Blu-ray on the go, but with the release of the new 9.5mm slot-loading Blu-ray drives, the doors have completely opened for every portable Mac to have an internal Blu-ray drive. The internal clearance for a 12.7mm optical drive just didnвЂ™t exist, and these Macs needed to wait until the brand new 9.5mm drives arrived to also take advantage of an internal Blu-ray solution.

Unfortunately, 12.7mm optical drives just wonвЂ™t fit into other portable Macs besides the aforementioned 17вЂі machines. Pre-Unibody 17вЂі MacBook Pros have been able to take advantage of both internal Blu-ray drives and Mac Blu-ray Player since their respective introductions due to earlier (non-unibody) 17вЂі MacBook Pros being able to accommodate 12.7mm height optical drives. Several of these Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros meet the recommended 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo minimum specs for the Mac Blu-ray Player and, in addition, are able to take a 12.7mm slot loading optical drive (12.7mm slot-loading Blu-ray drives such as the Panasonic UJ-225 have been on the market since late 2010). Since MacgoвЂ™s initial release last year, pre-Unibody 17вЂі MacBook Pros running a Core 2 Duo could have potentially been early adopters of internal Blu-ray drives and the Macgo Blu-ray player, giving the full convenience of portable Blu-ray playback on the MacBook Pro since the first version of MacgoвЂ™s player.

Early Potential and Portability for Mac Blu-ray Player Now equipped with a Matshita UJ-267 internal Blu-ray drive, my MacBook Pro can now take full advantage of watching my Blu-ray discs courtesy of MacgoвЂ™s Blu-ray player.

#MACGO BLU RAY PLAYER REVIEW 1080P#

The 1920 x 1200 screen looks amazing when watching or working with full 1080p video. The 17вЂі Unibody MacBook Pro is an ideal candidate for both internal Blu-ray drives and the Macgo Blu-ray player. My test machine is a 2.3 GHz 17вЂі Core i7 (quad core) February 2011 MacBook Pro, and the version of Macgo Blu-ray Player as of this writing is version 2.4.0. Obviously, for desktops, an external solution isnвЂ™t as big of a problem, so with that said for the purposes of my discussion and review of Macgo Blu-ray player, I would like to focus on the experience it provides users of portable machines. This limited Blu-ray playback to external drives on these late model portables, which needless to say isnвЂ™t an ideal solution if you are traveling. Mac Blu-ray Player has been around now for a little over a year, but until the UJ-267, which I recently reviewed, and the UJ-167, which both arrived mere weeks ago, there were no internal Blu-ray drives for the Unibody MacBook Pro.
