The DIG-79102 comes with a relatively unique software bundle. Instead of turning to a company like Nero or CyberLink, DIGISTOR has included Arcsoft's TotalMedia Extreme 2 suite as well as their own REWIND archiving software.

ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre 5 - TotalMedia Theatre 5 is your all-in-one media player for PCs. Whether playing Blu-ray and DVD discs, AVCHD or high-definition files on local machines or videos on a UPnP server and online, the program has it covered. With an intuitive and innovative user interface design, excellent playback quality and performance, and industry-leading playback technology, TotalMedia Theatre 5 brings the premium movie experience to you.

ArcSoft TotalMedia Studio 3 - Use the TotalMedia Studio application to capture, edit, and author customized high definition (or standard definition) content, like photo slideshows and home movies. It is for making discs that contain scene selection menus and chapters. Simply follow the steps along the top of the screen and design your own scene selection menus or use the provided templates. Then burn your content to Blu-ray, AVCDH disc or DVD.

ArcSoft ShowBiz 3.5 - Use the ShowBiz 3.5 application to capture and edit your standard or high-resolution home movies by combining videos, photos, music, and transition effects. You can also trim your videos, add a soundtrack, and personalize it by adding a logo, title, and credit screens. When finished editing, you can easily convert your movies to play on most portable devices like iPhone, iPod, Apple TV, PSP, PS3 and Xbox360; or you can share them by uploading to YouTube.

ArcSoft TotalMedia Backup and Record 2 - Whether your most important files are audio, video, email messages or Internet Explorer favorites, the TotalMedia Backup & Record and Utilities applications let you easily back up and restore everything you can think of. Simply click one button to select all your irreplaceable files, then click once more to back them up to CD, DVD or BD.

DIGISTOR REWIND - DIGISTOR's REWIND software enables permanent and secure archiving on Blu-ray discs. Designed for ease-of-use by both consumers and professional users, REWIND features a user-friendly interface as well as automatic file and folder tracking. It also has the ability to update existing archives, span multiple discs and pause an archive mid-burn, letting you finish it later. Along with that, it has an embedded restore application that ensures restoration of archived files to any computer, without having to install software.

 

While not the smallest or flashiest portable drive to come through the 'Labs, DIGISTOR's Blu-ray Disc writer is not short on features. Along with a heavy duty design, the DIG-79102 offers some of the fastest BD reading and writing speeds available on a portable unit. The drive is capable of 6x BD-R, 6x BD-R DL, 4x BD-R XL and 2x BD-RE writing speeds and a maximum BD read speed of 6x. The DIG-79102 also features an internal battery and comes bundled with Arcsoft's TotalMedia Extreme 2 suite as well as DIGISTOR's own REWIND archiving software. With all this, it's easy to see why the DIGISTOR DIG-79102 gets an 8 out of 10 for its features.
