Advice on DVD Writer for PowerBook - Matshita DVD-R UJ-815

Hi there,
I have been attempting to burn DVDs on my PowerBook using Toast Titanium Version 6 - TO NO AVAIL. During my first few attempts to burn DVDs, the SuperDrive accepted the disc but was unable to complete the Encoding process. Burning data files on a CD-R has not been a problem - now when a blank DVD-R is inserted, it is kicked out almost immediately.
When my computer was purchased I was told that DVDs could be written at 1X. This is proving to be ever frustrating and I am beginning to fear the worst.
Please help.

PowerBook   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

If in fact you are trying to burn Commercial DVD Movies you will need one more piece of software.
You can burn just about anything accept Movies that are Commercial, because they need to be Ripped and then they also need to be compressed with either Toast 7 or Popcorn....Cheers...Don

    Martin, Burning what would be called a standard DVD is not a problem, just drag and drop into Toast,
    However most users that are not familiar with the process think they can burn Commercial DVD and you can not do it without first Ripping and then it must be compressed to fit a standard 4.7gb DVD.
    So you can place DATA, AUDIO, and IMAGE data as is. However if you are trying to copy VIDEO TS from a Commercial DVD Movie,
    You need 2 more pieces of software....Mactheripper......and either Toast 7...or Popcorn...these last 2 have compression software included where other methods cause you to need 1 more piece of compression software to use earlier versions of Toast.... Does this help....Don

  • I have a DVD-Rom and DVD-Video card for Powerbook and need advice

    I acquired 2 accessory components for a G3 series powerbook. I have a dual G4 so have no use for them. There is a M4743 DVD-Rom for Powerbook and a DVD-Video PC card for G3 series Powerbook family M5163. There is also a software CD. I would like to sell them but I really don’t how to explain what this stuff does. I tried Ebay and did not find any matches. Does this make a DVD upgrade for a particular Powerbook? Is something else required? Is Ebay the best place to sell? Any idea what this stuff is worth? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
    Bob

    Robert,
    You apparently have the DVD Video Player Kit for the Powerbook G3 Series "Wallstreet" M4753.
    This is the DVD-ROM module:

    This is the DVD Decoder PC card:
    http://www.ifixit.com/cart/customer/product.php?productid=296&cat=&page=1
    The above DVD PC card is not Apple's but there were two third-party vendors who also offered a DVD kit...VST and MCE. They all served the same purpose and will all be priced similarly.
    Both PC card and optical drive are required to play DVD movies on the Wallstreet, plus Apple DVD Player is only supported when booted to 9.x, not 10.x.
    I really cannot give you a fair price to ask; the above hardware prices are probably high but you will get an idea.

  • Recommendations, please, for external DVD writer for my 2006 iMac. (Internal drive unable to write coherently.)

    Recommendations, please, for an external DVD writer for my 2006 iMac whose internal drive is writing unreadable discs. 
    Model Name:          iMac
      Model Identifier:          iMac5,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.16 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache:          4 MB
      Memory:          4 GB
      Bus Speed:          667 MHz

    Thanks, A Brody.  Don't know what the PRAM battery is.  Here are more details of the fault ... Although I've had the iMac for 5 years this may be the first time I've tried copying a video recording onto the DVD drive (I've made lots of CD copies without a problem).  The folder and files all seem to be reproduced in identical order on the disc but my domestic DVD player cannot make sense of the recording, unlike the original source DVD from which the files originated.  The drive has always been noisy but I've never assumed it shouldn't be!  Does this fit your PRAM battery theory?  If so, please explain more.  Thanks.

  • DVD Writer for Sun Fire V440

    I was wondering if anyone had found a DVD writer that will work with the Sun Fire V440. I would like an internal drive if possible but an external device would also be acceptable.

    Hello,
    the V440 uses a slimline drive like these ones in notebooks.
    Sun doesn't offer a slimline DVD writer (only full-height).
    You might be tempted to install a slimline DVD writer for notebooks or server, but you have to keep two things in mind:
    - Installing non-Sun or unsupported components voids your warranty/service contract.
    - Slimline drives have no jumpers to select master/slave or cable-select . All drives use cable-select (or reverse cable-select). This setting is determined by the firmware of the drive.
    If voiding the service contract or warranty doesn't bother you, get a drive from a dealer that is able to flash a new firmware to the drive or can sell a drive with the correct non-Sun firmware (and the correct setting cable-select or reverse cable-select).
    Regarding the brands or types of DVD drives used by Sun, review the Sun System Handbook.
    Using an external DVD writer in an USB enclosure might be possible, but the integrated USB controller (of the V440) is only USB 1.1 (supporting dual speeds of 12 and 1.5 Mbits/sec) which is insuficient for a DVD writer.
    I would recommend that you browse the messages in the solarisx86 Yahoo group.
    http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisx86/messages
    In this group you can find a lot of expertise. Send a single e-mail to one or two people (pointing out that your question isn't directly related to Solaris x86). Posting a message requires joining the group and please keep in mind that your off-topic question is sent to every subscriber of the maillist.

  • DVD Burn Failed-Matshita DVD-R UJ-815

    Please help: I can not burn any DVDs. I am trying to burn some pictures from iPhoto to DVD for storage. I choose the pictures & then hit the burn icon at the bottom of iPhoto. It will run for about an hour but then stops. I keep getting "Burn Failed: the burn to the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-815 drive failed. Unknown error." I've tried several TDK DVD-R 2x discs & the original Apple DVD-R that shipped with my computer. I am able to burn CDs with no problem but this is the first time I've tried to burn a DVD. Can you also tell me if I will be able to use TDK DVD-R 8x since I can't hardly find 2x or 4x anymore. Thanks to anyone for any help. I have lots of pictures & I've got to get them off of my computer. Thank you very much.

    Matshita DVD-R UJ-815

    I'm having the same exact problem with my Powerbook I think, it's a 1GHz with the same Matshita DVD drive. It'll burn the disc apparently, but it never finishes. it just idles in "Closing Session 1" (i'm using a burn folder in Tiger now)...
    but the problem also occurs in iDVD. and when i burn disc images.
    i've found that when i see it idling (at the end of a burning cycle), i can usually eject the disc and have a working disc, but with no guarantee.
    I want Apple to fix this!

  • After upgrading to the latest version of itune, I get this message when trying to open itunes: "The I'tunes Library File is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to write for this file.

    After importing the latest version of itune, I now get this message:  "The I-tunes library file is locked, on a locked disk , or you do not have permission to write for this file.  How do I resolve this?

    check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in the finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings if necessary. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so
    the important part is to apply to enclosed items !
    also, even if it seems unrelated, try the steps in this support article: iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

    Where can I find a pdf writer for my new macbook air?

    If you'd like to create a PDF from something rather than print, you can create a pdf from any print dialog.
    ie. File > Print > click PDF button lower left > Save as PDF..

  • I'm trying to update iOS 7 and it says I need 3.4 GB of storage to update.. I currently have on my storage 797 MB and 12,6 GB used. How much storage should it write for me to be able to update?

    I'm trying to update iOS 7 and it says I need 3.4 GB of storage to update.. I currently have on my storage 797 MB and 12,6 GB used. How much storage should it write for me to be able to update?

    If your ipad has only 797 MB free and it tells you that you need 3.4 GB to update, then you need to begin deleing files, whatever it takes to free up space.
    Consider...
    Delete apps you don't use.
    Delete videos you don't want (these take up a lot of space).
    Do you have a lot of emails stored on the device?
    Are there apps that store data files, like a PDF reader?  If there are a lot of these, you need to delete some.
    The bottom line is that you need to remove data and/or apps on your device to make more storage available.
    But for videos and photos, always sync them to a computer first to archive them.

  • Check writer for HR PAYROLL

    Can any one clarify that check writer and check writer(xml) concurrent programs that are used for payroll check printing are same? if not when should we use check writer and when should we use check writer(XML)? (why i am asking these because concurrent program short name which is the code for data definition and template are not same,but the data definition name( Check Writer XML) is same for template(Check Writer for US))
    To Enable check writer(XML) i gone through some setups in oracle support should that be performed to use check writer(XML) instead of check writer? and finally to customize my check template where can i get the XML DATA ? Any replies will be appreciated thanks in advance.

    There are several documents on Metalink that provide the steps necessary for using CheckWriter(XML). Basically, the CheckWriter and the CheckWriter(XML) programs are the same however the XML program runs through the Oracle provided data definitiion and xml template to produce the PDF output.
    When you run the Check Writer (XML) program you will find two programs in the Concurrent Request window. The PDF output from the template will generate from the 1st program and the XML data that is used to generate is found in the 2nd program. You can copy the seeded Oracle XML check template and rework it to fit your organizations requirements.
