Dvd will not open dvd player

I just created a new DVD video using iDVD, but after burning the DVD and trying to play the DVD on any computer, it will not open unless I open the DVD Player first (I have my settings on DVD Player to automatically open DVDs). Any ideas?

Hi
Most common origin to this are
• Use of Cheap DVD brand e.g. Memorex, NoName etc. - I only use Verbatim (more organic dye in them)
• Burn speed - I set it down to x4
• Use of DVD-/+RW disks - I only use DVD-R as they also play on older DVD-Players (DVD+R don't)

  • I have a mac Book that will not open DVD's of Business Presentations.  I had my hard drive taken in to the Mac Store and had a new hard drive installed.  Since then I cannot open DVD's.  What is the application that I need, and the process. Tks

    I have a mac book that will not open up DVD's recorded with a presentation.  I install the disc in a HP / windows 7 and it works fine.  I had my hard drive replaced and since then I cannot open up DVD's.  Was there a application that did not get installed?  And if so what is the process.

    You need DVD Player. It should be in your Applications folder. If it is in there go to System Preferences>CDs & DVDs and for "When you insert a video DVD" make sure DVD Player is selected.

  • DVD will not open in Finder

    I just tired to put a blank DVD-R into my MacPro's drive - usually it opens and I can drag files to the disk to burn them, but this time the discs are reported as not-recognized. Oddly, I can burn w/ the disk if I use Roxio and other packages that run the drive. Anyone know anything about this?
    I've tried to reboot, can't think of anything else to try...

    Have you tried different media (like a CD-R or a different brand of DVD-R)? When it is reported as "not-recognized", is that a dialog? What does the dialog say specifically?
    In System Preferences->CD&DVD's, what is the setting for "When you insert a blank DVD" popup? Set it to "Ask what to do" if it is not already. Then try to insert the blank DVD. Does the little dialog show up asking what app you want to open the disk in? If so, choose Finder.

  • Adobe Reader will not open Flash Player on my iMac

    Hi Folks,
    For some reason I cannot install Flash Player.  I used to have it on my iMac but now don't, maybe I inadvertantly deleted it somehow?
    I've tried re-downloading the app but keep getting the message as below.
    I've even tried copying the download to a Flash drive from my Mac Pro ( on which it works fine) and saving it directly into the Utilities folder on my iMac, still no luck.  When I click on the icon it only comes up with the option to "remove" Flash Player
    Got any ideas?
    Cheers
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    It appears that somehow Reader has become the default program to open DMG files.  You'll want to open the DMG with DiskImageMounter.app.  DiskImageMounter is found in /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app.
    Right-click on the DMG installer file and select 'OpenWith'
    This will reveal a menu that should have DiskImageMounter.app listed.
    If DiskImageMounter.app is not listed, select Other... and navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app.
    This will mount the DMG revealing the actual installer .app file inside
    Double-click the .app file and proceed with the instructions to install Flash Player.
    You'll actually want to make DiskImageMounter.app the default program to open DMG files so that you don't encounter the same scenario in the future.

  • DVD tray not openning

    OS 10.5.2 will not open DVD tray with F12 key. It will if I mounted on my backup hard drive. How do I fix it?

    Norm,
    I haven't got a solution that restores eject the F12. I too have a PBG4 Aluminium and F12 does not open the tray (actually no tray it is a slot drive). Cannot say if it ever did eject. However just to the right of F12 is a an eject button and it works. Why not use that? There are if needed a number of other ways to eject. I prefer drutil commands in Terminal when I have problems.

  • How to burn a slideshow to DVD for anyone to play. I burned a DVD and can play it on my mac, but will not open in windows

    Need to know how to burn a DVD that can be viewed by any DVD player.  I created a DVD from a slideshow created in iPhoto.  I can open it on my computer, but it will not open or even be recognized in my home DVD player.  I asked a friend to try it on a Windows computer and he could not open it.  What's the key to creating things for friends & family that do not have Mac anything?

  • My CD/DVD drive will not open

    My CD/DVD drive will not open when I insert any type CD/DVD. The CD/DVD just runs but will not open.

    Try cleaning the lens:
    Use a DVD lens cleaning disk.
    Use a few shots of compressed air in the slot.
    Wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth?) around a business card and gently insert it in the slot.
    If no success, a trip to the genius bar at an Apple store is the best option.
    Ciao.

  • DVD Studio Pro 4 will not open after installing Leopard

    I had trouble opening my film project in FCP studio 2 but resolved the problem by trashing the preferences. This did not help other programs like DVD studio pro which will not open at all or crashes as soon as it is open. It also gives me strange messages while it tries to open like" Media-application quit unexpectedly." Would re-installing help? I would have to begin with FCP studio pro and then update all the programs again. Is there an easier way to solve this problem? (Leopard is causing other programs to quit unexpectedly but I don't get messages that some part of the application has quit).

    So far it seems the advice when going to Leopard is to due a total clean install of Leopard on a clean drive before installing the applications.

  • I have had my mac book pro for about a year and a half and suddenly my dvd player will not play DVDs and i can not play alot of things on full screen. Does anybody know how i can fix this?

    I have had my mac book pro for about a year and a half and suddenly my dvd player will not play DVDs and i can not play alot of things on full screen. Does anybody know how i can fix this?

    This could be several things, but let's get the obvious ones out of the way, first:
    1. Judging from your text, there's no problem with anything stuck in the mechanism; it's more an issue of no being to put in a disk. In other words, you're sure that there isn't a disk stuck in your MBP. (That happens a lot for all computers.)
    2. Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, and repair the disk. This should take under 10 minutes.
    3. Perform the procedure outlined here:

    4. After you're done, leave a message here as to the status of the repair.

  • DVD will not stop and start in a Menue Mode

    Hello I am using DVD Studio Pro 4 for a school project and i am looking for some help with this problem.
    The DVD i have created plays and stops when i am watching one of my video tracks, i just can not start the DVD when i am previewing in any menue after i stop it.
    I have created my DVD with 16 menus and 2 video tracks. It burns and plays back fine but i can not stop and start the DVD when i am in a menu mode. The DVD will stop and play when i stop the DVD playing video from one of my video tracks but when i am in menu i push stop on my DVD controller and the DVD will not start back up. The DVD will look like it wants to play but it will not play. I have to open the DVD player tray open in order for it to start the DVD again.
    The DVD is a NTSC, SD, single layered 2.9GB
    Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.

  • Since upgrading to 10.9.4 dvds will not load

    After upgrading to OS X 10.9.4 onto my 2011 iMac, I tried to load a DVD. It whirled around and then got stuck. It took me about 3 hrs to finally get it unstuck.  Now it will not accept DVD's at all, just whirls them around and pops them out. CD's it will take. I then upgraded the software for 10.9.4 and tried again. nothing. I want to install Photoshop and can't get the install disc to run. I'd appreciate some ideas. Nanci
