DVD +R and DVD +R DL compatability

According to the specs for the 2005 G5 (Late Model) the CD/DVD unit should work with both DVD +R and DVD +R DL. However, I am getting conflicting reports from people as to it's real world capability to support those two formats.
Any input greatly appreciated!

Great news, thank you.
Might try PatchBurn, it can "add" features that OSX doesn't see...

Some of them at least do DL...

  • How do I find out if my DVD burner is compatable???

    I would like to buy iDVD 6 but the description says"Burning DVDs requires an Apple SuperDrive or compatible third-party DVD burner". How do I find out if my DVD burner (OWC Mercury Firewire/USB2 D109 DVD+/-RW) is compatable??? It shows up as a Pioneer in iDVD3 and is not supported. I don't want to buy iLife 06 and find out I cant use it with my burner.

    The Pioneer 109 should work. My Pioneer 107D and 108
    work fine; and the 108 is recognized as DL.
    You should really upgrade to Tiger and 10.4.4 in
    particular before installing iLife '06. Several new
    features don't install on Panther. Ask my PowerBook.
    I forgot to mention that I want to but my videos from my digital camcorder on to DVD. I currently can copy data and photos to DVD, no problem.

    Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
    Restart your Mac.
    That's why you see this:

    After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click:  Software Update ...

  • FCE 4 and 4.0.1 compatibility issue:

    FCE 4 and 4.0.1 compatibility issue:
    While using Final Cut Express 4.0.1 on one machine I save (saves as .fcp) and now when I try to open the same file to continue editing, on a machine running Yosemite, and FCE 4 it gives an error message saying "This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut".  I have worked this way before (not ideal), I am wondering if the 4.0.1 update is still available and if so where?
    Any Help would be great.
    Yosemite (10.10.01) and Os X (10.5.8)

  • Shopping for new HD: Difference between SATA and SATA II? / Compatibility?

    I'm looking for a new HD to replace the original, now failing Maxtor drive in my G5 tower (1.8 Ghz dual processor, purchased in Aug. 2004), and have just about settled on the Western Digital Caviar SE16 series. It seems there are two types -- SATA and SATA II -- and I'm not sure about how to make a decision on which particular WD model to buy.
    Will either type work in my machine? Or would the SATA II have potential compatibility problems? I read somewhere in these forums that someone with a G5 had bought an SATA II drive, and it wouldn't run with his system. (He said he had to reset some jumper switches to reduce the transfer rate of the drive [??], but now I'm told elsewhere that SATA drives don't have jumper switches.)
    Kinda confusing trying to choose the right drive, so any help is appreciated.
    Also, am wondering if there are any connectivity parts (power cable, SATA cable, screws, etc.) in particular that wouldn't come supplied with the drive. (I'll be ordering a retail drive, not OEM or refurb, so hoping it might come with everything I need.)
    TIA,
    Steve

    Tom,
    Thanks for the info. I don't see the 250GB w/ 16MB cache drive that I was looking for, but OWC has a very good price on the 500 GB drive. A few questions for clarification:
    - Re: +"The later model SATA II drives often have a jumper to limit transfer rates to 150."+ -- Any tips on finding out if these jumper switches are present in a particular drive? OWC doesn't specify this, and this info seems to be generally hard to find.
    - Re: +"...some are SATA I/II which are designed to work on both types."+ -- Same problem here... I'm not finding any info in the various drives' specs on this. To make this easier on myself, I'd rather get a drive that I don't have to mess with jumper switches, or at least be able to determine if a particular drive will present SATA I / II issues. Any additional info you (or others) can provide may be helpful.
    - Will upgrading to a drive with 16MB cache give me an improvement in performance? And are there any compatibility issues with my particular G5? (I'm assuming a 16MB cache drive will work fine with my machine, and based on my reading they do provide a speed boost.)
    Thanks for any info...
    Steve

  • Use PS to convert .doc to .docx and not have the compatibility mode issue

    Awesome I will bookmark that site. Thank you!

    I am looking for a power shell script to convert .doc file to .docx in word 2013 and also make the compatibility mode go away. So the user only has to open it and has no issues with compatibility.  I have found a couple but still have the compatibility mode when opening.

  • DVD burner manufacturer and model number/disc compatibility

    does anyone have experience with what brand dvd-r's work with this burner. i went through a tough time on my windows machine finding the correct type with my sony dru-500a and wanted to see what experiences you all have had. thanks

    I would say that almost any brand should be fine BUT my experience has been that almost any brand other than Verbatim has at some stage or another just not been good enough.

  • External DVD Burners & iDVD Compatibility

    I am looking to purchase external DVD burners for use at my school - that are compatible with iDVD.
    I am running iLife 5 on many different pre-intel Tiger Macs (mostly eMacs)
    I have looked for a definitive listing of burners and have been receiving conflicting pieces of information.
    I understand that I students can save iDVD projects as Disk Images then burn after the fact... but it would be nice to know which External Burners are compatible with iDVD without having to go the Disk Image route.
    Any assistance that you can provide me would be tremendously appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Dave

    Hello Dave,
    iDVD 5 does not natively support external burners. What you have discovered concerning the creation of disk images, though, is not simply a workaround, but a widely recommended procedure, as it greatly reduces the risk of burn errors.

  • Burning DVD - PC/Mac Compatibility Problem

    I purchased my Mac Pro at the beginning of this year. I used the DVD burner for the first time a couple weeks ago. I am a photographer and burned 317 images on a Memorex DVD-R for a client. I tested it on my computer and it seemed to work fine. When she received it, she could only open 87 images. It didn't show any other files on the disk. I burned a couple other DVDs and the same thing happens. Each time there are a different number of image files that show up when it's opened on a PC (from 75-87) but it looks fine on my computer. I don't know what's causing the problem. Help!!

  • Tecra A8-EZ8312 DVD Drive Replacement Compatability??

    Hi All..
    Working on a clients Tecra A8-EZ8312 to replace the dead DVD drive.
    For whatever reason Toshiba apparently is hardware specific?
    What's so special about the DVD Drives that the Bios wont recognize a basic DVD replacement Drive?
    Does anyone know what drives are compatable with the Tecra?
    Please don't answer with "Call Toshiba for a replacement drive".  There's a better answer out there.
    Anyone have experience with this?

    Tecra A8-EZ8312 (PTA83U-03202C)
    These two part numbers will for sure work.

    if it is from the T400, T500 or W500 then it is compatible with the X200 ultrabase.
