I can now watch dvd's on-the-go on my android tablet!
I bought this to watch dvd's on-the-go with my asus transformer infinity. It took a little bit of tinkering, to make it work. So, to save you valuable time, here's how to make it work on your android tablet.
(1) Install mxvideo player on your tablet.
(2) Plug your dvd writer SE-218 into your tablet via usb.
(3) Press the eject button to eject the tray.
(4) While the tray is open, press and hold the eject button until the green light on the tray stays lit. Then release. This brings your dvd drive into av mode.
(5) Close the tray.
(6) Now, eject and open the tray and put in a dvd.
(7) Your tablet will now recognize your dvd as a usb device. Your tablet will appear to be frozen for about 10 seconds. Don't panic! It's just reading the dvd disc. Just leave it alone until it's read it.
(8) Using a file manager, navigate into the usb device and find a vob file that is big, like a couple gigs or so. Play it with your mxplayer.
VOILA! You can now play dvd's on-the-go. Please spread the word. Amazon is only selling this puppy for 34 bucks. Well worth it!

I forgot to mention. Every time you plug in your drive to watch a dvd, you will have to eject the tray and press the button for 3 seconds.
