## Note on Blu-ray drives

If your BD drive does not seem to be compatible with your M-series Mac, it's possible that the error is related to the
region code, which BDs handle differently than DVDs.

### Solution

- Connect your BD drive to your Mac via USB. Using a dongle often yields better results than a direct connection.
- Insert a DVD (not a Blu-ray) into the drive and open the DVD Player.
- If prompted, select a region code for the DVD.
- Eject the DVD and insert a Blu-ray disc. Your Mac should now recognize the Blu-ray discs.

This method has been effective in resolving compatibility issues.
