thankyou!

I might be in the same boat as some of you... I got my K8N Neo Platinum exactly a year ago. Up til recently, I was content to burn DVD+R at 8x speed with my Lite-on 411S (Single layer). However, I was impressed with Plextor's PX-716A, and moreover I went for the SATA version, PX-716SA. For a year, I never had trouble with the WD SATA hard drive connected to the SATA0 port, so I thought there wouldn't be any trouble with the Plextor drive. When I read a DVD-ROM with this drive, I can only get up to 7.3x speed, while DVD+R writes are limited to 6.5x (on good media like Verbatim 16x). Quality is good, but I am disappointed that the speed is not 16x. I have the latest Nvidia drivers, and I read a few places that I should use the default Windows drivers. Could this speed limitation really be caused by a driver? Secondly, if I install the default Windows driver, what steps do I take (please be specific)?. What should I look for in the alternative location of the driver. When I removed the Nvidia IDE drivers, they came back on the next boot-up.
-K8N Neo Platinum with 1.7v firmware (Nforce 3 250Gb)
-PX-716SA with 1.07 firmware [SATA]
-Plextools v2.23
-WD 80GB Sata HD
-Windows 2000 SP4

No audio on dvd burned with idvd6

Relevant software: Mac OS 10.4.11, iMovie 6.0.3, iDvd 6.0.3
Problem: No audio on dvd burned with iDvd
What happened: Created movie in iMovie (audio and video fine). Shared to iDvd (audio and video fine on playback). Burned Dvd. No audio on dvd but video is fine.
What I did:
1. Saved as disc file. Opened with VLC and DVD Player. No audio, video fine.
2. Deleted encoded assets in iDvd then 1 (above).
3. Removed non-Apple extensions in Library/Quicktime. Then 2 and 1 (above).
I've read other discussions about this same issue and followed those recommendations as well as that in the article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303550.
Clearly I'm missing something. But, what is it? Anyone have any suggestions?

i too am having the same problems with iDVD 6.0.4. I just ended up wasting 5 hours of time burning these damned DVDs... what was really strange is that the first DVD I burned was a dual-layer, and I checked that one on a set-top DVD player and it worked fine. I then needed 5 more copies of the DVD, so I simply inserted a fresh dual-layer DVD into the drive at iDVD's prompt of 'Would you like to burn this disc again?'.
Assuming that they would all be fine since the first one was fine, I simply burned 5 more DVDs. Only now, checking them after I've wasted a godawful amount of time burning them, do I find that they're all f#$ked. Thanks apple.
Crap like this makes me steamed. My PC burning software doesn't have nearly the same simple, elegant interface as iDVD, but it also lacks this CATASRTOPHIC problem. I mean, dual layer DVDs are relatively pricey... so screw apple. i will be glad to go home to my PC after being forced to work with this junky, buggy software.

Using LaCie dvd burner with fce hd

has anyone out there used a LaCie dvd burner with toast titanium 6.1.1 to burn fce hd project? the fce hd files(as a QT file ) contains 2 folders --the movie file along with an a-v 1 file(assuming this a media file) are boththese files to be dropped into the TOAST titanium drop window for burning? burning a dvd takes hours and i'm trying to save myself a lot of aggravation--thanks folks

This is not a Final Cut Express related topic. You're more likely to find LaCie DVD burner users on forums like iDVD and DVD Studio Pro.

Drivers assistance required for graphics card and fingerprint reader with W8 & Pavilion DV7-6B01ED

Hi - I own a HP Pavilion DV7-6B01ED and recently upgraded from W7 Home Premium to W8 Pro. Everything appeared to work fine except for the graphics card I have which now seems to always be on with the fan running, getting hot and running down the battery much more than before. I can not confirm what was reported as the graphics card in W7, but it is reported as the AMD 7000M after the upgrade. My invoice reports that it is a HD6490. Further to this, W8 reported an issue with this device in Device Manager.
Due to another issue (not hardware related) I decided to do a clean install of W8 which would also let me clean things up and to re-partition my disk.
In doing so I deleted the HP_TOOLS and the Recovery partitions. I'm not against recreating these but needed to delete them as I had 4 primary partitions and could not work within the restriction that comes with this. I understood from reading online that these can be recreated and the necessary tools re-installed (or another solution with DVD / USB employed). If the solution to my problems requires these to be installed, I'm happy to do so.
After the clean install, I continue to have the graphics card issue (same details as above) and the other issue I have is with the fingerprint reader. It shows up as an unknown device after W8 install (it did not have any issues after the initial upgrade I performed though).
So I've done plenty of things to try to rectify the issue and this includes installing the HP Support Assistant in the hope that this would help with the drivers. Instead of going through all the steps I've undertaken (I've read plenty in this HP forum and outside of the forum) and used certain W7 drivers, installed this that or the other program but unfortunately to no avail. I cannot get the fingerprint reader working and I still have a very hot and noisy laptop.
I'm good enough with OS and device driver installations and happy to get stuck into some unorthodox solutions if needs be. What can I do to resolve these issues?
Regarding the graphics card - is it a case that AMD have yet to release an updated driver? If so, I can live with that but in the meantime I would like to turn off the AMD card and work only with the integrated Intel graphics. Disabling the device in Device Manager does not seem to work. How do I do that?
The fingerprint reader is no big deal, but ideally I would like it working. What to do here?
If I need to do a re-install of W8 again and then get stuck into the driver installations I'm good with that, but would like to do it in a manner that will let me resolve these issues in the future without too much hassle.
The spec of my machine is: HP DV7-6B01ED 17.3FHD / i5-2430 / 8GB / 750GB HDD / HD6490
Thanks!

Hello AttackofZaq....
Thanks firstly for your reply. I re-installed W8 to start from scratch.
OK, so I thought the AMD driver worked. I had installed it before I posted to the forum but then the problem seemed to have returned. I'll have to play with the settings because just as I type this the fan has started for no reason, same problem as before. Is there any chance Windows Updates in interfering?
Regarding the fingerprint reader - it hasn't helped. In Device Manager I now see Biometric Devices > Validity Sensors (WBF) (PID=0018). Is there some further software I require in order to use the device. I'm going to install SimplePass to see if that's needed.
I'll be back with an update.

DVD burned with Encore on MacPro will not play in all players

I burned a project with Encore last week using my MacPro's stock DVD burner. I was using Memorex DVD+R disks which I've had mostly success with in the past. I tried the final DVD in 3 players before I considered it the final product, and it worked in all 3...1 high end player and 2 no-names. I went to present the project at a screening the other night and their Sony player would not read the disk (but did read everyone else's)! Luckily I had access to another player, so it wasn't a complete embarrassment, but still unnerving considering I have to make about 60 DVDs next month for a client. Any idea what could have caused this?

The difference between + and - these days should be zero. However, if one format gives you trouble, always try the other.
I've delivered to clients where + was the only format that worked, and I've delivered to clients where - was the only format that worked.
As has been said before, the only way to absolutely ensure maximum compatiblity is to replicate your discs. Obviously that's not prudent in cases like yours. :)

Can i replace the dvd burner with a second hard disk in my pavilion dv6 6915nr?

Can I remove the dvd burner and replace it with a secondary bay hard disk?

Hi,
Yes you can, you need something like this to hold the HDD (or SSD):

Using an external DVD burner with iBook G4

Hi,
I am new to this ibook game so bear with me....I purchased an iBook G4 from ebay and hooked my Lacie external DVD burner up to it as it only has a combo drive. Anytime I try to burn DVDs though it says that it cannot use this disk. When I look in disc utility it says that the write ability of any DVD i insert is read only. Under system profiler my external burner does appear as drive type CD-RW/DVD-RW though. What can I do to burn DVDs? I am running osx 10.3.7 by the way and previously used my external burner with an old emac succesfully.

You could try and see if the external optical drive is supported through
third-party burn software, one example of which may be Burn, it is free.
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
{note: there are two links to download - one is for G3s only}
Is the cable you have in good health and do you have a known good spare?
And update the OS X to 10.3.9. Get the large file 'combo' for this;
and then check for security updates, java updates, etc. Be sure
to run Disk Utility's 'repair disk permissions' before & after updates.
You will have to update the Panther 10.3.x system to 10.3.9 and also
get any other updates available to the system. This may be why the
external drive won't work in the present computer. Also, Burn needs
to have 10.3.9 or later in order to work, too...
Hopefully this helps...
Good luck & happy computing!

Replace W520 Sony Optiarc AD-7710H DVD Burner with Sony Optiarc BD-5750H Blu-ray Burner?

I am planning on replacing the DVD burner which shipped with my W520 (4270CTO) with a Blu-ray burner. Evidently not all W520s ship with the same drives.
Does anyone know whether the front bezel on the W520 is the same for the two Sony Optiarc drives mentioned above? If not, which Blu-ray burners can accept the W520 front bezel from the Sony Optiarc AD-7710H, which is the drive my machine shipped with?
Thank you!
W520, Intel QM67 Express Chipset, i7-2760QM, 1000M NVIDIA GPU 2GB DDR3, 1920x1080 FHD LED, 16GB Corsair Vengeance PC3 12800, Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300, Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SATA 3 SSD, Sony Optiarc BD-5750H Blu-ray Writer, Dual-Mode DisplayPort.
Solved!

I think you swap the bezels. I did with mine.

Using an external dual layer DVD burner with iDVD??

I created a 3 hour iDVD file on a dual 2.0 G5 desktop with a dual layer DVD Superdrive. I have since migrated to a MacBook Pro. Now, when I open the iDVD file, it says there is no DL Superdrive on my system and that it will convert the file to single layer or something like that, with the option to cancel or proceed. If I purchase an external DL DVD burner will iDVD detect it and allow me to continue working with the file?? Or do I have to get a whole other Mac with a DL Superdrive (iMac or 17" MBP)?? The error specifically stated 'Superdrive', so I am not sure if just an external DL will work. Thanks for any help.

Sorry to have to post this here, but your topic "How can I see the bitrate while playing a DVD?" in the DVD SP forum.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=325516
has been archived and no one can reply to it.
Thank you so much. Using VLC 0.8.5 to view bitrate was an excellent discovery for those who don't have the cash to buy the DigiGami poducts.
Perhaps you should re-open a new topic for others to respond to.

Poor image quality on DVD made in iDVD - Urgent assistance required PLEASE

I have imported pictures to form a slideshow in iDVD. The pictures are great quality and look good but the problem I am having is how distorted and blurry they become when burning the dvd.
They look good for a split second when they transition in and then transition out, but become distorted whilst on display (set for 5 seconds)
I need urgent assistance please with this matter.
ps I am still a bit of a novice at this.
Thanks

I agree with Bengt - there are better ways to make slideshows. Here is mine:
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD, but they all have one thing in common: they reduce the quality of the photos to that of a movie still frame and sometimes limit the number of photos you can use.
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie 6 as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!

DVDs burned with Encore CS6 won't play in PC/MAC standard player

Wondering what is going on with an issue on Encore CS6 (W8), as it will burn DVDs that work with PowerDVD but not with OS X's default media player or Windows Media Player
Same computer earlier this year with Encore CS5.5 (W7), DVDs would read in WMP as well
No problem with blu-rays

What brand of blank, and what burning speed?
Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
Use Taiyo Yuden single layer or Verbatim Two layer Or Falcon Pro for inkjet printable Two layer

Question re Sony DVD burner with G4 Powerbook

I had some dvds already ripped on my hard drive. Bought the best burner, Sony DRX 830ULT, but after burning a dvd (that was ripped using the Mac) it won't read on the Mac. Question: do I have to both RIP and BURN using the Sony in order for the movies to be played on my Mac?

No problem at all. Patience is one of my virtues.
The MEDIA you are burning to, the DISC, is a special kind of media that only your Sony drive can burn and most likely, read. It is called "DVD+R DL" or "DVD-R DL." This is the format of your disc and our PowerBooks, the 12-inchers, can't read these type of discs.
The last PowerBook G4s to roll off the line before the MacBook Pros took over, the 15" and 17" models, were bumped up to include support for DVD+R DL burning and reading. But not DVD-R DL burning.
The DVD discs you buy in the store that have content already on it, such as Harry Potter (for lack of a better example), are on a "double-sided" disc. Each side has a surface to write on. The "dual layer" discs have only one side that can be written on but have TWO layers.
It is confusing. It's confusing me now and I'm having to check the wording.
Basically, your problem is again what I explained before. To give an example, your Sony is burning oranges but your PowerBook's SuperDrive can only read apples.
What's even more confusing is the terms are intertwined. Some people confuse DUAL LAYER and DOUBLE LAYER and DOUBLE-SIDED altogether.
Double Layer DVD disc = "DVD+R DL" media that only has one side to burn to.
Dual Layer DVD disc = "DVD-R DL" media that only has one side to burn to.
Double-sided DVD disc = any "DVD±R" or "DVD±RW" media that has two sides you can burn to.
Here are my sources that I used to explain this all to you in-depth. (My original answer about the disc media not being able to be read by your 12-inch PowerBook was from my own knowledge):
http://news.sel.sony.com/en/pressroom/b2b/storagesolutions/release/9366.html
http://dvr.about.com/od/dvdrecordableformats/f/dvddlvsdouble.htm
Message was edited by: Pismo 900
I guess this other example would help paint the picture. Say you have a 15" PowerBook with the dual layer support. (Remember, not a double-sided disc which any G4 PowerBook can read as long as it has a SuperDrive). Since the 15" PowerBook--last model to roll off the line--supported burning and reading of DVD+R DL disc media, if your Sony burner only does DVD-R DL disc media, then your 15" PowerBook would not be able to read those discs burned by your Sony optical drive.
So that's why our 12-inchers can't read what you've burned recently with your Sony drive. Simply put. (I hope).

What is the quality of a DVD burned with the Toast BluRay plug-in?

I would like to purchase the plug-in for Toast 9 that allows you to burn BluRay content onto a DVD. I realize that it will not produce a "real" BD, but will it produce DVDs that are more HD quality than the normal SD quality?
Rick

Hi
Don't know if plug-in works with Toast 9. I got mine by getting the full
Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro pac.
Yes this can burn Blu-Ray encoded onto a standard DVD (but much less eg about 20-30 minutes)
• This BD-DVD needs a Blu-Ray Player to be viewed - No DVD-player or Mac can play it
Sony PlayStation 3 Can do that. Some Cheap BD-players neither can not play it.
Quality.
• Very much better than SD-DVD. SlideShows can be very good if done right.
I use FotoMagico (in the Roxio Toast set of programs)
Yours Bengt W
