Burn settings to play on older computer

I am trying to upgrade a computer from 8.6 to 9.0 says i need firmware update which it says is in cd extras folder. update not there. went onload to download updates and burned a disk on my powerbook g4 and my imac flatpanel. neither disc had volumes that could be recognized by the older bondi blue imac. what setting do i have to use to burn cds that can be read on this machine. i have toast and disk utility. thanks.

If the disks you burn are readable on the newer Macs then your settings are already correct.
Older CD-ROM drives can't read CD-R disks, no matter what settings the disks were burned with.
If you download the firmware update directly to the bondi iMac then there's no need to burn it to a disk anyway.

  • Burned CD will not play on a computer

    I've discovered that CDs that I have burned will not play on a computer (Mac or PC), while they play perfectly fine on a CD player (in the car, boombox, etc). I have the latest version of iTunes, and I use CD-R discs. What the heck is going on?

    Try different brands of CD_R media. Also check speed of your cd burner and set burn speed in I-Tunes to match instead of maximum possible, If that doesn't work try a slower burn speed. Also do not run other programs while burning. Check your Cd on other players to make sure that is not the problem. I-tunes gives very few parameters to chose from so it is hard to do anything wrong in the program settings.

  • After mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please

    after mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please are there any settings i need to alter as it seems the wav or mp3 file i ceated is being converted to a data file somewhere between the folder and disc drive

    Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD  and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
    Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
    You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....

  • Created project in PE4, burned to DVD - plays on Computer but not on DVD Player.

    Created project in PE4, burned to DVD - plays on Computer but not on DVD Player.
    Vista Ultimate
    Let me know what other info you need.
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, the lowest possible Burn speed will be a step in the direction of compatibility.
    As for the Quality setting, Robert Johnson has done tests on various versions of PE and has recommend a setting of about 7.8 (IIRC). Unlike Encore, where one has many more choices, PE limits one to a Quality setting of 8. This is about equivilent to the recommend 7MB/s in Encore. Robert found that just below the 8 max. actually yielded slightly better results, than did the full 8, on his tests.
    The three things that help to insure the greatest compatibility with set-top players are, and in pretty much this order:
    1.) Quality media - Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden or Falcon (US only)
    2.) Burn speed (slower is better. It might take a few minutes more, but if it works, you don't have returns or have to do it again.)
    3.) Bit-rate around 7MB/sec
    Remember - no set-top player HAS to play any Burned DVD. Most do, but some just do not - only replicated, pressed discs. Also, some player are still sensitive to the -R and +R media types. This is less a problem with newer units, however it still could be an issue with many older ones.
    Personally, I test a "master" on four different players, plus my computer, before I Burn a batch, or ship out any. One unit is a very high-end Marantz, another is a mid-level Marantz, one is an RCA "el cheapo" and the other is an older Pioneer. I figure if the disc plays everywhere, there is a good chance that it will play for the client - though there are still no guarantees.
    Good luck,

  • Burned DVD plays in Mac computer, but not in other players??

    I burned a DVD using iDVD and the disk played in my computer. I then tried to play it in my PC and also on my home DVD players and it didn't work. I burned another DVD and the same result happened: worked in Mac, but no where else. I originally used a miniDV disk and then modified it before sending it to iDVD for burning.
    Why doesn't it play elsewhere?
    How can I burn a DVD that will play in others players?
    Thanks in advance,
    Brad

    Well, you need to check whether your DVD can play a "minus" DVD. Older ones can't. And Mac can only burn "minus" DVDs.
    After I started making DVDs, we had to go buy a new player -- that was a year ago, and now we have to buy another new one because that one has a problem with sound, sigh.
    this is a very expensive hobby! But I love it! Good luck.

  • I made a movie with iMovie and cannot get the audio when I burn into dvd. I would like to transfer video to a dvd to be played in any computer and TV

    Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty.  That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

    If there is an item in there drag it out.

  • Can burn a disc but it won't play on my computer!

    Please help. Since upgrading to Tiger I have not been able to use DVDSP 4. I burn a disc the same way I always have using the same brand of discs that I have always used. The disc burns with no error message. When I try and play the disc on my computer I get the message: Supported Disc Not Available! The disc won't play in any other player either. I'm going nuts over this. Any ideas?

    I burn a disc the same way I always have using the same brand of discs that I have always used
    Describe both your usual disc-burning technique, as well as the brand of discs you're using (as well as whether they're +R or -R).
    Are you burning with an internal SuperDrive, or an external burner?
    If the disc won't play on your computer and "won't play on any other player either," that sounds like an overall bad disc, not just one that "won't play on my computer."

  • HT2499 I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.4. The DVD player does not have a feature to store film clips. Why? This is useful for my work and I had it on my older computer? Why the loss of capacity?

    I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.4. The DVD player does not have a feature to store film clips. Why? This is useful for my work and I had it on my older computer? Why the loss of capacity?

    I cannot recall the DVD player ever being a place to "store" videos - it is simply an app to play videos.
    If your machine is new, then iMovie should be included as the "shrunk" version of iLife is included with Lion (iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto). However, iMovie is not a place to store videos either - it is a video editor. You import your clips and edit them in order to then burn to a DVD or share via a social media site.
    Have you considered simply dragging the clips to your folder "Movies"? That would be a great place to just store them (please be aware that videos are usually large files, so keep your hard drive space in mind so you keep a minimum free and available for the OS to operate properly):

  • Burning DVD for DVD Player and Computer

    Hi everybody.
    I thought that I saw this somewhere here, but after looking for it for the past 1 1/2 hours (Unsuccessfully I might add , I thought that I would just ask.
    When I burn a project to a DVD using Quicktime and iDVD, I can view it on a DVD player and on my Apple computers, but not on a windows based machine. Can I burn a DVD that will play on any computer? How?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Brian

    Could well be a +R issue. The player must be able to read +R.
    -R is the most universal and should play on just about any DVD machine.
    I noticed that the older the machine the more things things can go wrong for no apparent reason. Later model stuff play just about anything even +R, dual layer, RAM etc. Always check the player specs if you have them.

  • Burn CDs to play MP3 format - with Lion

    Can someone remind me how to burn a CD that will play on an MP3 player or older car CD player?  I've done it before, but Lion has had an update since then...and I can't remember how to change the burn settings.  And yes...I am using a music CD-R, not a data CD.  Thanks.

    Treble clef was probably just printed on the disc and has no special meaning. Any CD-R disc can be a audio disc or a data disc. Which it ends up being depends upon how you burn it.
    From reading other posts, apparently the burn item is under File. You select a playlist, then File > Burn  I am guessing at that stage you are presented with the type of CD to create.
    Older car players probably cannot do mp3 CDs.  If you have a MP3 player -- well, I'm not sure how you'd put a CD into a mp3 player. Most ipods I have seen do not have CD drives!  If you mean a mp3 compatible audio CD player, for that there is probably a mp3 format selection or you need to create a data CD with mp3 files on it.

  • No audio on idvd burned disc- sound plays on TV fine but not on macbook DVD player

    First time posting, so please excuse any naivete
    Hi there, I'm having the opposite problem of many of the questions I've read on here- the audio on my burned disc won't play on my computer but is fine on my TV.  I am running the latest version of idvd on a 2008 macbook. The music for the menu is a .m4a file (?) imported from itunes and the movie is an imported project from imovie.  Both play fine in idvd preview and I have burned discs of this project before with no problems.  This time  I burned one disc through idvd, discovered the missing audio, deleted the encoded assets and re- encoded before  saving the disk image and burning another dvd through disk utility. Both dvds are having this problem .  I checked sound on my system preferences, it's on- though I can't find the "main audio" that was mentioned in another thread.  Maybe I don't have enough space on my startup disk?  I've been trashing some things to free up space, but I'm not sure where to check to see how much space I have.
    I'm sending these dvds out as part of job applications so they need to be able to play right on whatever the reviewer uses (mac, pc, tv etc.)- is there a way to ensure it will work universally?
    Thanks!

    Ok.  This is embarrassing.  Just saw that the sound was turned down on my DVD player on my macbook though not on my computer.  Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best. 

  • I have 10.3.1, how come the CD's I burn won't play in my vehicle?

    I have itunes 10.3.1, how come the CD's I burn won't play in my vehicle?

    I have been having issues with edited tracks from Toast/CD Spin Doctor that I send to my iTunes library, so that I might burn them onto a CD at a later date.
    For example, when I try to hear my 3:42 edited track of a tune I had just sent over from Spin Doctor to iTunes, instead of hearing 3:42 of the "edited track", I only hear the first 3:42 of the raw "unedited" track.  In other words, if my raw Spin Doctor file had 20 seconds of silence before the track started, I would hear that first 20 seconds in my iTunes file instead of the edited file.
    Personally, I think Apple needs to allow us Mac users to have a "download previous version" option when serious bugs like this appear on the updates.  Seems they give Windows users links to older versions, but for us Mac users, they make it hard for us to easily find older versions.  I feel like I'm being held hostage waiting for the next version, or patch.
    And when I try to report the issue to Apple, when I go to the "What version of iTunes are you using?", they still don't have version 10.3 listed in their pulldown menus (as of 7/7/11).
    If you want me to plunk down money for Lion, then you better get my iTunes back to where I could use it again.
    Sorry for the rant, I've been in a major vinyl transfer-to-CD groove in the last month, and this just ruins my momentum. Apple has really disappointed me.

  • In itunes 10.6, when I click to burn a cd, it takes 10 minutes for the  "Burn Settings" screen that allows me to choose which cd burner to use to be displayed. I have tried setting the UpperFilters to "GEARAspiWDM" and LowerFilters to null. Any suggestion

    Many thanks for the diagnostics.
    Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2380.
    Error while opening iTunes CD driver.  This could be caused by a corrupted iTunes file or a conflict with other older CD burning applications, either currently installed or previously installed and uninstalled incorrectly.
    With that one, I'd start with solution 3 from the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install

  • What file do I play on my computer in a AVCHD disk folder created with premier elements 12?

    What file do I play on my computer in a AVCHD disk folder created with premier elements 12?

    Phantomkeeper
    Just in case note...the DVD-VIDEO folders/files structure is different from that of the AVCHD format.
    For DVD-VIDEO (burn to folder)
    VIDEO_TS Folder
    and your menus are typically found in VTS_01_0.VOB file in the VIDEO_TS Folder
    and your video is typically found in VTS_01_0.VOB file in the VIDEO_TS Folder
    For AVCHD format (burn to folder)
    BDMV Folder
    and your video is typically 00000.m2ts file in the STREAM Folder
    and your menus are typically 00001.m2ts and 00002.m2ts files  in the StREAM Folder.
    If you want a single file (not yet on a disc) that will play back your Premiere Elements export, then I think you need a consider disc image file (.iso or .vdd).
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/11/pe12-disc-imagephantom-burner-pe.html
    If you take the BDMV Folder from the Premiere Elements AVCHD (with menus) burn to folder into a 3rd party software like ImgBurn, you can put the BDMV Folder on a DVD or Blu-ray disc (to get BDMV Folder and an added CERTIFICATE Folder) and play that back with menus on a Blu-ray player that supports those formats on a supported disc type.
    You wrote
    but I was looking for the file like the VIDEO_TS file that plays from the menu in a DVD folder.
    I have never gotten the VIDEO_TS.VOB file (standalone file) in the VIDEO_TS Folder to playback with a computer player or any other. So, please explain how you have accomplished this, including the player name and whether standalone or computer.
    Please review. If you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask. The situation above is my take on the matter.
    Thanks.
