Blank DVD will not be recognized

Huhu,
i have troubles with burning DVD's (i guess also with CD's, but haven't tried yet, no blank CD @ /home )
I'm using graveman (also tried brasero), it found my CD/DVD drive and also makes copies from CD's/DVD's
But when i start burning an .iso file, it appears it didnt recognized the blank DVD. Graveman just continues "burning" even if i open the CD slot.
Error messages from graveman aren't that helpful.
My PCmanFM also recognizes my CD drive, i can mount CD/DVD and copy files from it, so no problem seesm to be there.
I know this post is somehow ridiculous to some of you, but i'm really lost right now.
Need some help

thx for reply - the thread is really heavy.
i just gave it a try and switched to cdrtools, but graveman and brasero still won't burn the .iso.
graveman just stops before starting burning.
brasero tried to burn - without success - but gave an error report

Blank DVD will not load so that I can burn to it

Hello,
I have been trying to burn playlists in itunes onto a blank dvd. I can burn CDs, but when I try to insert a blank DVD, it checks media and spits it back out. Neither will my MAC show the blank dvd on my desktop when I insert it outside of iTunes. I have an internal DVD drive and an external one....same story!!??
The very last time I tried to burn a DVD in iTunes, it started, but then I got some strange message about the spool running out?? I've never seen it before.
I have verified and repaired my preferences. Any ideas as to what could be wrong?
Thanks,
John

John,
what kind of DVD? Plus or Minus?
If using Plus media try to switch to Minus.
btw. what kind of drive came with your Mac?

I-DVD created DVD will not play back on i-Mac 27"

The i-DVD Tutorial says "When you have burned your DVD, you will have your own DVD that can be played in any DVD Player or any DVD-EQUIPPED COMPUTER"
Unfortunately I do not find this to be so, and I would like to know why, please. The DVD created is in UDF form. It plays back perfectly in my Liteon Player via the TV. It will play on my Windows PC via either WMP or Nero, BUT IT WILL NOT PLAY on my i-Mac, neither by Quick Time nor DVD Player. I get the message "not in a form recognised." Goodness! It was created on the i-Mac, via i-DVD !!
All my software is up-to-date of course.
Can anyone tell me WHY?

There are a variety of reasons why a burned DVD will not be recognized by a DVD player.
I'm interested to hear you say that you burned the disk with iDVD and yet the disk does not playback on the same computer that created the disk. If you put a standard purchased video DVD into the computer does it playback? If it does not then I would focus your attention on the Computer / DVD drive itself and not iDVD.
Things to try:
1.) Make sure the DVD disks you are using are compatible with your computer's optical drive. If you use a disk that is not supported by your computer's SuperDrive you may get inconsistent burn results. You can find out what types and speeds of disks your computer supports by going here and looking for the "SuperDrive" section under your model of computer: http://support.apple.com/specs/
2.) Older drives / players may not be able to read newer types of burnable media. Use DVD-R disks that list a lower speed. Burnable media comes with numbering on the original packaging that indicates the speed of the disk (Usually 1x,2x,3x, etc.). The lower the number the more compatible the disk will be with more DVD players.
3.) Try different brands of media. I personally try to stick with media made by companies with a long history of making recordable media.
4.) Lower the burn speed in iDVD:
iDVD > Preferences > Advanced > Preferred DVD Burning Speed
-- The lower the number you choose the more compatible the resulting disk will be with more DVD players. It will also increase the amount of time it takes to burn the disk.
Hope that helps

Blank 16x DVDs will not burn in internal DVD burner

Hi
Some blank 16x DVDs will not burn in the internal DVD burner on my iBook G4.
My iBook tries to load the DVD-Rs but it spits the DVD out after 2 tries.
Any reason why

IPhone 4 will not be recognized

I want to sync my new iPhone 4 for the second time but windows will not recognize it. I plug in my phone to the computer (via USB) and it will charge but it will not be recognized by the computer therefore it won't be recognized by iTunes either. Help?!?!?! Y

To update iTunes and sync an iPhone you need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an Intel Mac.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:

Hello there, tomazdes.
The following Knowledge Base article written for the USB SuperDrive, offers some practical steps to try when issues present themselves with particular content playback (feel free to skip Step 3 when working with an iMac or MacBook with built-in drives):
Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2801
Particularly:
Accepts discs but they don't mount or are automatically ejected
Make sure the drive is not placed upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up as shown in section 1.
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
Connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
OS X Snow Leopard v10.6 or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
OS X Lion v10.7 and later: Click the Apple () menu and then hold down the Option key. Choose System Information from the menu.
If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized at other times. Is it because i am not uninstalling it

I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized subsequently. Is it because i am not uninstalling itunes before I download it? Surely this is a basic thing, ie that my devices need to recognize each other?

After you dry the iPod:
How to fix a wet iPod or iPhone | eHow.comfix-wet-ipod-iphone.html
Connect the iPod to a charging source overnight and then try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement. Not much else for troubleshooting here. Sorry.

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.

DVD will not play on iMac in Bootcamp using Windows 8

I am trying to play a DVD in Windows 8 being run with Bootcamp on my iMac (OSX 10.9). The DVD will not autoplay in Windows. You can see the DVD in the folder view, but can only access the Video_TS and Audio_TS files, not the actual playable DVD. Have tried playing it through the folder view as well as Windows Media also to no avail. Booted down Windows and into Mac OS, and the DVD autoplays just fine. How can I get it to play in Windows mode, as the software we are running for a certain program needs to be accessed constantly before and after the DVD needs to play?

tried the vlc player it's free to download and works better then other players really

My cd and dvd will not play

my cd and dvd will not play

Ah, I'm sorry! I think I misunderstood your second post. Open the Start Menu and click "Computer." A window should open that shows the drives in your computer. Is one of the icons your DVD drive? What drive letter is it? Is the the D: drive?
Put a disc in the computer. Tell me a little about the disc. Is it a CD or a DVD? Is it a retail version of something or is it a homemade, recorded disc? Is it computer data (such as an application, game, or documents), a music CD, or a movie?
Once the disc is in the computer, right-click on the disc drive in the Computer window we opened and select "Open." What happens?

What can I do, if a DVD will not play?

What can I do, if a DVD will not play?

You don't want to change the player Region Code. If I remember correctly you can only change the Region Code three times and it sticks to the last Region Code you selected.
Does the DVD play in another player?

DVD will not play on standalone.

Ok so here's the deal. I imported my DVD using MpegStreamClip - this is a DVD previously built by me, but back in the days I used Pinnacle... which wasn't so long ago. I imported this DVD as .m2v and AIFF audio, and built a project in DVDSP 4. The simulations run fine and I have had no problems up until the point that I burn the DVD, and the DVD will not play on a standalone player.
When outputting from DVDSP, do I need to Burn/Build/Format/Build&Format? Is it one of my settings that I need to change?
I know this question has been asked before, but there seems to be no solution out there yet.

I have an HVDVD_TS folder, but not the usual VIDEO_TS folder - could this be evidence of my problem?
It's the smoking gun.
Keep your m2v files.
Take the aiff files and encode them in Compressor ac3/Dolby 2.
Create a new project in DVD SP. Make certain the SD button is selected.
Import ac3 and m2v assets and you are good to go.

DVD will not complete using FCP share

I am trying to burn a DVD in FCPx. The audio and video files are created but the DVD will not finalize. The progerss bar sits at 95%. What should I do. I have been able to create DVD's in this way in the past.

Can you try another project to see whether it is a project-specific problem? (You can choose HD as output device so you don't waste media.)
How long is your movie and what is its format?
