I also had one back in the day, it's pretty much useless now.
I have a vague memory of using the drive with a PC and MakeMKV could rip the video HD-DVD to a .mkv container, I'm not sure if it still supports HD-DVD these days the site says DVD/Blu-ray only.
thanks all, I only bought it years ago to back up my library and I guess I only posted to see if there was anything worth stripping out it or just bin it lol
