ATAPI DVD A DH 16A6L-CSCSI CD Rom - HP Pavilion A6700F PC

DVD burned with this writer does not play in DVD Player; wondering whether it is the medium or the writer or something else. DVD will play on the computer with some difficulty.

Hi chottabacha,
This issue could be cause by a variety of things. Your DVD player may not like the DVD-R you used. The disc burning session could have been left open. The DVD player may not be compatible with the DVD files on the disc.
Try burning a disc on another brand of DVD-R and see if it makes a difference.

If you mean the 10.4 DVD is a full-retail copy for any machine, not the version that came with the Mac mini.

DVD Studio Pro 4 Burning cd-rom, not dvd for playback on TV

Hi there.
I completed an HD project in FCP 7, compressed in "Compressor" and now want to burn a DVD in HD in DVD Studio Pro 4.
I went into "Preferences" and made what I believe are all of the necessary changes to make this happen.
However, when it burns, it won't burn a DVD for playback in a DVD player. In fact, one of my DVD players identifies it as a CD-ROm, and sure enough, it plays in the computer, but not in a DVD player.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

HD DVD is a dead format, abandoned by its developers a few years ago after losing out to Blu-ray.
However, HD DVDs will play on later model Macs and a couple of (now obsolete) models of HD DVD players that were made by Toshiba.
Normal, set-top DVD players and Windows DVD player programs have never been able to play HD DVDs. They only play DVDs, which are standard definition only. Some DVD players will upscale the output of a DVD (again, standard definition) to HD dimensions for playback on HDTVs. Some actually do a pretty good job ... some don't. But the fact remains that the source being played can only be standard definition.
So, if you want to make a disc that will contain HD content, you'll need to make a Blu-ray disc. If you want to make a DVD that will play in DVD players, you'll need to make a DVD, which again, can only be standard definition.

Why doesn't my Atapi dvd burner read data disks?

I've burned some work files from work onto a dvd on a mac intel and took it home and my dvd player won't read it. Does anybody know why?

THAT is how MY problem first started! Last year I discovered my DVD-R (Matshita, on a 2009 iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4mhz etc.) drive would not even accept anything but a MUSIC CD... within weeks, even those failed to play. I've posted thewhole long tale in another area, so am not going to hijack YOUR thread by repeating it here. But, Apple, what gives?? There is a HUGE problem going on with this particular DVD-R drive and we need HELP! I've already spent MONTHS following instructions here (end even elsewhere) on trying to get it working again, to no avail - worse, my AppleCare just expired on me 2 months ago, when I THOUGHT I had another 6 months AND that I'd get my DVD drive working again on my own, anyway...).
RECALL, please?

Installation from atapi dvd W DH16W1P asking for drivers

The machine apparently boots correctly from the DVD/CD device, but instead of reporting that the CD is found and asking whether to check the media, it wants to know the device type. IF CDROM is entered it wants a driver disk or one of the available drivers. This is a bit confusing to me since it just read the CD to boot (but then I am easily confused).
Is there a workaround short of building a device disk?
Can you build a device disk on a USB flashdrive? (This box has no floppies).
I'll happily read FAQs already available if anyone has a suggestion on narrowing my search.
My current probable workaround is building a USB linux install and just booting from that instead of installing on this machine, but I'd sort of like to erase my confusion and possibly save some others the problem as well.

i am having exact same problem, but it is with installing windows 7. anyone got any new info on this old thread?

Ide/atapi Dvd-+rw Problems !

okay i had msi 5.03 drivers installed my dvdrw drive wont read any disc nor write
my samsung cdrw would work just fine !
firmwares are upgrades !
then i upgraded to 5.10 drivers w/ ide installed same problems ..
i went back to MS IDE drivers but the dvds i burned were currupted (both drives can read data)
however the MS IDE drivers made my hdd very slow .. searching mp3's from winamp libs and playin them would make them hang which was v annoyin..
now i dont know what to do :( (dvdrw drive works fine on my other system(intel))
i read other threads in which they say dont install ide-sw .. i selected the IDE drivers and then after next it would ask me to install ide-sw or not ! so am i not even suppose to tick the ide driver on the main screen or what !
i cant just make this work :(

ultimate11, you can mix and match:-
Have your IDE 1 using nvidia pata
& Ide 2 using microsoft drivers.
How are you ide ports being used, ie
IDE 1 Master ??????
Slave ??????
IDE 2 Master ??????
Slave ??????
ide 1 master = samsung cdrw/dvd , slave = iomega dual dvd rw
ide 2 master = seagate 120gb , slave = seagate 80gb
like i have said earlier even while i have uninstalled everything dvdrw burns currupt disc .. cdrw is workin fine ! .. and my ide hdd are v v slow

CD-DVD Drive won't read CD-ROM just burned -- readable on other computers

Computer: Satellite C655D-S5048
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Software used for burning: Roxio
Burn process goes smoothly -- options set for creation of read-only disk. Disks are 700 Mb, 52x of good quality.
After having been burned, when reinsterted in the drive, the computer reads the disk as empty, and offers options on how to burn files to it.
On any other computer, the disk is readable.
Ran Toshiba Laptop Checkup -- nothing found.
Tried running cleaning disk through -- no improvement.
Thoughts?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Peter--
Thanks! However, after spending a while on the phone with Toshiba, their tech and I came to the conclusion it might be a hardware problem. I was advised there were two separate lasers/lenses in the drive -- one for reading; one for burning. Given I was able to locate a (brand new) replacement TSST drive online for $29 plus shipping, I opted to order one -- I'll post whether that solved it or not.
As to different burn software -- the outcome was the same for Toshiba Disc Creator, Roxio, and freeware called Shampoo (I think).

My DVD drive is not working in my HP Pavilion DV 2715

Windows Vista 32-bit, the drive stopped reading/writing DVDs but still reads CDs fine. I have tried running the Microsoft Fix-it application, with no success. Drive will eject and give error to insert a disc, even thought there's a DVD already inserted. I don't think the drive is there for the DVD to read/work. In my computer it shows the CD drive, but no HP DVD drive!
Just want to get the DVD drive back working again....HELP =)

Hi,
First, try following the procedure under the sub-heading 'Let me fix it myself' on the link below to remove the Upper and Lower filters if they are still present and see if this helps the issue.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982116
If it still doesn't play DVDs, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

CD, CD ROM won't play / DVD ok. Compaq Presario A940

AMD 64 bit dual processor. Windows Vista SP1. Someone else reinstalled operating system, but didn't upgrade any drivers, or microsoft updates. I performed all updates from Microsoft, and drivers listed from HP, including BIOS Flash. This solved numerous problems, including wireless access. Both sound and video are perfect on DVD. With CD, or CD ROM, you just hear the CD spin, quiver as if it's trying, but nothing is recognized. Device manager doesn't show any problems. Only DVD is listed. Rather than just remove and reinsert DVD / CD player into it's connector, I swapped it with a known good one, same model number; HP Super Multi DVD Rewriter; Model-GSA-T20N (S05D) Same problem persists. I didn't check device manager again yet to see if there are any changes. I'm almost certain this is a driver issue, but since I'm here on this forum, I'm open to any relevant suggestions. I usually try to find the simplest solution, which usually works

I did miss the comment about swapping with a known working CD/DVD drive. Sorry!
I'm not sure that this is a driver issue, as the CD/DVD drive should at least recognize that there is a disc in the drive. I've made no software changes, checked registry filters, and even uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes betting that the issue was software related. No joy. If yours is like mine, it returns a "unsupported media" error message (although mine is a CD media recognition issue). I saw where someone advised to uninstall the controller entry under the IDE ATA/ATAPI section in Device Manager, reboot, and scan for new hardware. Still no joy for me.
I'm currently looking to do a hardware replacement, and was thinking about upgrading to a Blu-ray drive. Still looking for solutions before having to replace, but everything that I see points to a hardware issue. Still looking though.

CD-ROM error on boot after replacing DVD drive -Qosmio F20-574

Ok so I have a Toshiba Qosmio F20/574 and I'm trying to replace the factory DVD drive (TEAC DV-W28E) with a Liteon DS-8A1P (f/w CX12). With or without a DVD drive Im getting a CD-ROM error on boot. The only time I do not get it is when I boot with the factory DVD drive.
Here are the things I've tried...
-Cleared the CMOS
-Removed the bezel to make sure its plug all the way in
-used the EEPROM utility to set the drive to slave.
-tested the drive in another laptop
-unistalled the factory dvd drive through device manager and tried to boot with the new dvd drive
Here are the things I found weird...
- in the BIOS (ACP BIOS 1.30) under Device I/O it shows the Hard Drive and cd drive but its not listed by name, its showing only the IRQ of the master and secondary IDE controller (Built-in HDD Primary IDE (1F0H/IRQ14), CD-ROM Secondary IDE (170H/IRQ15)). This doesnt change, even if I boot without a DVD-Drive.
-There is no BIOS update available for this laptop. This is a Toshiba from Japan and Ive tried using Qosmio F20 BIOS 1.40 from another region but it doesnt work.
-I cant seem to find an update firmware for the Liteon DS-8A1P (CX17)
I cannot think of anything else to try. I really need help! Any ideas?

Hello
your Liteon DS-8A1P (CX17) currently in SLAVE or CABLE SELECT Mode
you must make it as MASTER
Toshiba accepts drives in MASTER settings only
you can not make it by jumper , because there is no jumper inside the drive
you can make it master by:
1-firmware update to the drive to make it MASTER.
2-by soldring pin 47 to pin 45 inside the drive (not recomended).

Bd-rom dvd-rw on a G700

hi just replaced my dvd-rw drive for a bd-rom dvd-rw drive and dvd discs work but when i put in a bd disc i get(there is a disc with an unsupported format in drive) i have power dvd 10 & 12 both play bd discs blueray ,mpeg4 and all the format types are ticked so it should play them in theorey. nor will media player classic x64 and i have cccp codec pack installed

DVD-Drive detection

Hi to all
Perhaps somebody has an idea to the following problem.
I'm using a 845E Max2 board and Microsoft Millennium Edition as operting system.
After installing a DVD-Drive, it is correctly recognized on IDE1 in the Mainboard Bios. When Windows then starts it "finds" new hardware and tries to install the necessary drivers. After finishing "installing" i have a "Primary IDE controller (dual Fifo) " in the system shown. This entry has a yellow exclamation mark with the info that the information that the device "is not present and doesn't work proper..." Not necesseray to say that the device isn't recognized in the explorer...
OK; so far so good. But how do i actualize the device driver?
I did install the actual Intel inf drivers (5.0.2.1002)... but that didn't help... still the same problem...
I don't know what's the problem is because this DVD drive is the sole installed device (as master)... all other components are SCSI components... So there shouldn't be any master/slave conflict or something like that at all...
However... many thanks in advance...
Regards
Markus

Insert your DVD drive driver disc and go to Device Manager>Hardware>ATAPI- DVD ROM drive>Properties>Driver>Re-install.
Btw, a good detail of your system hardware info will be better.
