Ok, I didn't realise that you never found the DVDPlayback.framework folder, the way you answered my post, I just predumed that you had.
The Mavericks version may or may not be differenect to the Lion version you have. I don't know. However, there is more to the folder than just this one file. How they all work and what outside looks into this folder, again I don't know, but I would expect these to be contributing to your issues.
I don't know why you bothered to download a separate player, especially a blue-ray, but you may as well delete it as it is now help to you.
The initialization error, is the same one I would normally see when the DVDPlayback file was still set to internal. I suspect that you are getting the error, because of other issues with the framework.
No, I will not email my framework files to you, as again I have no idea if they would even be any use to you, plus, I just don't want to.
You have to have the correct DVDPlayback.framework on you computer. I stongly suggest that you go to the Mac App Store, to your Purchases tab and download the full installer of OS X Mavericks. This is a large 5GB file and will fully reinstall the operating system onto you computer. It SHOULD leave all your data intact, but backup first, to be sure. If this framework is missing, you may have others too.
Once you downloaded the OS X installer and installed, make the changes to the DVDPlayback files as before, make sure System Preferences > CDs & DVDs is set to 'When you insert a video DVD: Open DVD Player' is set, and you should be right to watch DVD movies.

DVD drive problem; Help please!

Hello!
I just bought a Toshiba laptop a few days ago and it has been working great, except today as soon as I turned on the laptop, the DVD drive opened and now it wont stay closed. Once I closed it, it popped open a few seconds later.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Does anyone know why it's happening? Thank you!
Write what must not be forgotten

Thanks for your help, guys!
Well, my DVD drive closes now. Should I still return it though? Or call Toshiba tech support?
I bought it online, so I didn't really get any warranty.

My Apple desktop computer, 2.4 GHz Intel duo core, OS 10.6.8, stopped recognizing the WD My Book connected via firewire. It works fine with the USB port so it's not the drive. Help please.

My Apple desktop computer, 2.4 GHz Intel duo core, OS 10.6.8, stopped recognizing the WD My Book connected via firewire. It works fine with the USB port so it's not the drive. Help please?

It can be the bridge. It could need firmware update. or the FW ports may be an issue. LaCie seemed to invent the phrase/tip 'resetting firewire ports' due to the issues with their drive cases.
You can try an SMC Reset.
So far I have avoided name-brand and tend to see them mentioned. Often with a new OS (though you are on 10.6.8, but when 10.6 came out there was a common complaint and thread of users: FW or USB worked but not the other interface).

On external monitor: GOOD. after render & dvd: BAAAAD. help, please!

Hi, I edited a 60i NTSC video from a canon XL2, and it looks fine on the external monitor (TV), the FCP preview and everything. It even looks good when I export a QT mov with no compression.
But as soon as I burn it on iDVD and play it on a DVD player, the whole interlacing business goes terribly, terribly wrong.
I've tried all possible exporting settings, but it doesn't work. Should I de-interlace the clips? I've gathered from reading the forums that it might help, but it sounds like a desperate solution, since the text should be interlaced but not the video?
I mean... what did I do wrong? Isn't ot supposed to just work straight-through with the NTSC DV Easy Setup and changing only to "None" on the compressing settings at export?
Any help, please? Anybody?

oh, OK.
For exporting, I used the Export>Quicktime movie, just like you said, using the current setting (i.e. Compression:None)
The DVD player was connected to a PAL TV, but it's OK because the DVD player can read anything. I know because I've watched NTSC as well as PAL dvd movies before.
The Canon XL2 the Mac is connected to, via Firewire, is NTSC, connected via RCA to the PAL TV. Which means the signal I'm watching is Black & White... (I know this sounds WEIRD)... but it's O.K. because what I'm really checking as I edit is the interlacing problem that I got when playing the DVD on the dvd player.... : the BAD problem.
How bad? Really bad. Any sudden movement, or panning of objects with vertical lines, like a painting or a building looks all wobbly and curvey and blurry and wrong, which is unnacceptable for the project I'm doing, as it is a professional work (Meaning that I'm charging money for it, despite the crazy assemble of different products and formats I'm using).
I've gotten things that look good before, but never on Final Cut Pro.. I'm new to the program, and to Mac, and this is the first video I'm exporting to a DVD on this platform.

DVD to iPod but no DVD drive... please read

I just got Peter Gabriel's DVD compilation of music videos, and I want to put a few onto my iPod. two problems:
1) I don't have a DVD drive, but my room-mate does.
2) He can't get the DVD conversion software he has to work (and I know nothing about that sort of thing).
So... what's the best and cheapest (preferably FREE) way to
1) get a music video (or three) onto his computer
2) convert it to a readable format for my computer/iTunes/iPod
3) get it onto my computer
4) put it on my iPod?
It must be possible... help?
Thanks in advance!

Well, it sort of worked. Now the problem seems to be that the DVD has surround sound, and for some reason that's what got ripped and converted, so when I listen in headphones, I'm only hearing 2 of 5 tracks. Any suggestions? Did I miss something along the way?

CD/dvd DRIVE locks up and cannot eject/open at all

anyone know on how to fix this issue with a Notepad dvd/cd writable drive-laptop it is out of warranty- on startup the power LED's light shows green for a few seconds and will eject upon startup if pressed-but once closed and Windows vista is loaded, the cd/dvd drive completely locks up-no power green light displays. and will not allow to eject at all
it is shown in my computer ok.
i tested reseating the ide cable for the cd/dvd drive -but still same problem. (ran a scan disk as well)
appreciate any advice
Thanks

Have your parents try a disk with their account. If it works there, then it's something about your account causing the problem.

Live Drive II help please

Li've Dri've II help pleases I bought a SB Li've 5. and a Li've Dri've II several years ago.
I recently tried to add the LD II to my current system.
I am using a Audigy 2 Gamer ZS in my system.
I can not seem to get the LD II to work (I'm trying to get audio imported through the RCA jacks to rip to MP3 from vinyl).
I think my problem is that I am missing the Li'veWare disk that originally came with the LD.
I've looked everywhere on the creative site and I can not find Li'veWare to download. Nor can I find anywhere to even call a tech support number to talk to creative about getting another disk containing the Li'veWare drivers.
I am running WinXP and could use any help or suggestions, since I'd really love to convert some of my old albums to MP3 so that I can listen to them again.
Thanks,
Paul

KwanTai,
The Li've! Dri've II is not compatible with the Audigy 2. Changes in the card required that changes be made to the interface between the card and dri've.

Dvd drive L632B help

Hi everyone. I have a toshiba satellite A205 and it came with the TssT L632B dvd drive, which is even indicated on the drive itself. I used to burn dvd`s and other cd`s but of late, i noticed that it cannot recognise any blank DVD. Upon checking under device manager, it showed me that the drive type is indicated as L432D. What could be the problem that caused this change?
N.B - My laptop is always at home so the possibility of somebody having changed my drive is very minimal, if none at all.

What's the full model number of your laptop? It should be on a label on the bottom.
What operating system are you using?
- Peter

Cannot install lion. "The Disk is Locked" help please!

I was hoping someone could help me. I just downloaded the Mac OS X Lion and when trying to install, it says there is an error with the disk and that it is locked and cannot install. Does someone know how I can fix this? Now I am also worried that I have lost my files. PLEASE HELP! Thank you!

Try to Repair it, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.
If it's still locked, this might help: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11044944?messageID=11044944#11044944?messa geID=11044944

HT1338 I was backing up my MacBook with Time Machine on my new (correctly formatted) external hard drive. It was going fine when my 2 yo knocked the hard drive. Now TM said "failed" and the Mac refuses to recognize the external hard drive. Help please?

I was backing up my MacBook with Time Machine and using my new (correctly formatted) external hard drive. All was going well when my 2 yo knocked the disk leading to a "failure" by time machine (Latest Backup: Failed). Now the MacBook will not even recognize the hard drive. I have rebooted, tried all I can think of, but no acknowledgement of the drive. The drive itself makes noise and vibrates as if working, but nothing from the Mac. Please help or $100 down the drain... Thank you.

You may have already done these resets in the "tried all I can think of " portion of your post.....if not then here they are.....

Apple Macbook Pro Hard Drive Repair Help Please

Cause of the mistake, i was being dumb and wanted to use my backup timemachine drive for an external drive, so I dragged the timemachine folder out of it and tried to empty the trash can, half way through I realized that it was trying to wipe my whole back up of my computer which would have been forever. So I panic, force shut off the computer, disconnect the drive and restarted the computer. My drive says 200 gb free when I know there is 400 left. So obviously the trash files are still around in my hard drive.
Did a disk verify and there is something wrong and the computer wants me to reboot and use repair upon rebooting the mac. I haven't done this in a while so I'm not sure if it's expecting me to have a backup from time machine.... the one i just fatally "deleted" or if it gets rid of the trashed files. Can someone help me please before I lose A LOT of work.
Update : And let's say I did need a back up, then if I just backed it up right now, with the missing but still taking up space files, would I still get those files in the back up or no?

As I understand it, you can't fix a failing SMART status. Believe me I tried on my iBook! I was originally under the impression that DiskWarrior and Tech Tool Pro could fix anything, but I now understand that they and Disk Utility can only repair the directory. As it was explained to me, SMART was set up to give warning of hard drive failure so that you could rescue your data before the hard drive dies altogether. You can disable it I think, but that's like putting black tape over the warning light in your car that lights up if you are running out of oil--possible to do, but not a good idea.
So if your SMART status is failing, then the only cure is to replace the hard drive. The hard drive can work for a while, but it's on its way out.
Here's a little background information on SMART status:

And I hope this was just a rhetorical question!

N00b mac user - dvd ripping & burning help please

Hi
I have got Mac the Ripper and bought Toast Titanium for my iMac but cant manage to get a copy done yet.
I have tried to rip 2 DVD's using Mac the Ripper and on both it has come up with a warning at the end saying the video has 'bad sectors"
I then open Toast and using the DVD_Video from Video_TS option and drag the Video_TS folder from the DVD I have ripped to Toast as instructed it starts compressing and then brings up a box saying
Quote:
" The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = ILLEGAL REQUEST
Sense Code = 0x24
INVALID FIELD IN CDB
I have also tried using Handbrake to rip the dvd's but that scans the dvd saying its scanning the titles but then just freezes
Anyone have any ideas please?? Its an Intel iMac.
BTW purely legal, making copies of ones I've bought for daughter so she can take on holiday with us
Thanks

Some DVDs especially those made by sony and disney are mastered with bad sectors on purpose as part of the copy protection process. Mac the Ripper is not very good when it comes to these discs. I have to use my wife's pc with dvd fab decrypter to copy these discs. It is not the fault of the imac by any means. Every disc I have copied except for those made by sony or disney since I got my imac have been perfect. Toast could be giving an error because the file from Mac the Ripper may not be playable. Try playing them first with the dvd player or VLC player to see if they work. If they do, make sure you have updated toast to the latest version. Good luck>

Agp/pci clock locking help please

i have the 865pe neo, using patriot memory with winbond 5ns chip, have no problem running at 250mhz in corecenter, however when i try to o/c in bios, when with the agp/pci clock locked, i can still it increasing up to 80mhz/xxxmhz as i increase the front bus speed of the cpu, anyone having the same problem with this board? will new bios fix this? by the way , i can't manually change the agp/pci clock , it's grayed out and "locked" this ths only option available under "apg/pci clock" there's no manual setting, soeone please help i can bring this board back to get the 875p if thats needed
thanks fo ryou help

Hi tgn,
MSI have this feature locked to prevent us from o/c the CPU multipiler settings. Can't say that whether this is good or bad for o/clockers like us. Unlike Abit which unlocks everything, MSI keep settings to what the mobo detects the CPU model is, i.e, if you're running a P4 2.4, then your Multipiler settings will be 18x with 133 FSB x 4 to make 2400+- MHz, try calculating the mathematics way and you'll know how far you can o/c to.
Corecenter o/cing is another way MSI sets as it will directly show you the speed your CPU is running at vs the multipiler settings.
All the Best... :D!!!

DVD from Animations - Help please if you can

We have an 3min animation sequence that needs to be put to DVD.
Animation was created in Maya, it's a 3D building walkthrough, constant movement.
It is supplied as AVI (video track is WRAW) 720x576 (for PAL)
We have placed it on FCP sequence set to Animation, best, millions colours, keyframe every frame.
Sent to compressor - 8Mbps CBR, best motion, GOP size =7 / Structure =IBP, closed.
The resulting M2V looks fine in QT
It also looks fine in DVDSP Simulator
However the DVD created (from an image) both in Apple's DVD player and on set top players looks badly pixelated, grainy and flickery.
Is there something in the make up of the animation that doesn't suit DVD playback? Why wouldn't we see it in the Simulator?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks Colin,
I have exported the supplied file as QT movies using different QT Codecs, DV PAL, Animation, Motion JPEG, also DV stream. If the option is there I have set the field order to Lower first. I have also imported the supplied AVI to FCP onto sequences with differing compression settings as above. All produce the same effect.
I have exported the AVI from QT as an image sequence, once as is and once with the deinterlace ticked in movie properties and imported each image as a frame to FCP onto a DV PAL timeline, this you would think would work around any issue of field order and behave as the sequence settings dictate? I get the same result, the final DVD image looks fine in DVD Player, unless you UNTICK "deinterlace" (which is wierd in itself), then it flickers badly, as does a DVD written from the image.
The best result I have had so far is following your instructions (thanks) in another post for 24fps NTSC, the final DVD was not flickering anywhere as badly but motion overall was a bit jittery. Is there a work around for animation like this with PAL do you know?
Also - maybe this might be a clue?
When I have the clip looking fine in FCP as a DV clip or image sequence on a DV timeline, with the play line stopped or running, the Canvas ONLY looks good at 100%, anything smaller or larger creates this striping moire effect on the image, visible even with the play line in stop.
