Burned CDs not recognized on PC

I burned two CDs several weeks ago with one movie each that was recognized and played by my daughter's PC. However, I have burned three other CDs with movies since then in three ways different to the first ones which were not recognized by my daughter's PC and, of course, were not played. I then burned another CD as I had the first two but this CD was not recognized by her PC.
Do you have any suggestions about burning a CD on an iMac that can be recognized by a PC? I don't understand why the first two CDs were recognized and playable and the last one was not.
Thanks for your help.
Vernon

What was the video format of the movie that was successfully recognized and played on your daughters PC? What program is your daughter using to view the CD?
The movie files were in Quicktime which she has and used to view them.
What program did you use to burn the CD?
I used a burn folder from Finder for the movie CDs.
What is the video format of the other movies that you unsuccessfully burned?
Quicktime.
All CDs played on my iMac with Quicktime and also with RealPlayer.
Any suggestions?

Burning software not recognized

Had to install new burning software (Nero). ITunes won't recognize burner; can't burn songs from playlist. Tells me to reinstall iTunes. If I do, do I lose my song Library?

Hi Jon,
I am not sure exactly what the problem is with iTunes not recognizing your cd drive for burning playlists, but you can be rest assured that reinstalling iTunes will not delete your library. You music library should be located in your "My Music" folder, which is separate from the location of iTunes.
The problem might have something to do with "AutoRun" of CDs in iTunes, perhaps a setting got changed when you installed Nero. However, I am not sure how to fix the problem- sorry!
Hope that is of some help to you

APE12, burned dvds not recognized, bd-r media does not recognized

I have a problem with burning with my PE12, I have a win7 64 bit PC, with following
BD Burner: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH16NS40 from LG
BD-ROM: iHOS104
Problem 1:
=========
All DVDs I burned with PE12 are not recognized on my HiFi BD-Player, ONKYO-BD-SP809
the same DVD is NOT recognized on the BD-ROM in the same PC
the DVD is RECOGNIZED on the burner (see above) in the same PC
Media is 8x DVD-R, and ONYKO and BD-ROM of course supports this type of media and I used the same medias in the past (Verbatim)
Problem 2:
========
I thought, ok, so I burn a BD, I have BD-R media, which worked fine with pinnacle ...
I made a sample project (1min length) and try to burn it, but the burn menu shows the right device (F: in my case and the right name), but it tells me Status: there is no media inside! Allthough the media is inside the BD-Burner.
I am getting mad about it ... anybody can help me out?
P.S:
Burner, BD-ROM, ONKYO and PE are updated to the newest firmare/versions.
Best regards top the community

Thanks for the follow ups.
Premiere Elements 12 DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc that will not play back on the ONKYO player....
If you take the VIDEO_TS Folder from the DVD disc that will not playback as DVD-VIDEO on DVD in your player and look inside it, do you find a file named VTS_01_1.VOB or possibily VTS_02_1.VOB? If so, can you play that file back on one of your computer players? These are video files.
Can you take the Premiere Elements 12 DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and play it back on the computer with Windows Media Player or VLC player?
Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. It should be generated again after you open a new project. Work with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited. The try another burn to DVD, followed by play back on players of interest.
Any progress up this point? If no....

Dvd not burning properly, not recognized by DVD Player

I have not burned video DVD's for several months until this week when I find that disks burned from disk images created by IDVD no longer burn properly. They are not recognized by Apple DVD player or on two different commercial players that I have. The disk images can be played with Apple DVD player, but once burned to disk, I get a message Disk not Supported. I have tried burning disks from 3 reputable brands with the same results. I just updated to OS X 10.8.5. Anyone have any suggestions?

Another thing to check is your bitRates and whether you encoded the audio to A.Pack/Dolby. I have often seen machines play once or twice then start having playback issues or not play. It can be related to the encode rates (and it may not behave across different machines the same way, in other words it will continue to play fine on some players and not another)

CDs not recognized: ANY HELP APPRECIATED

Hello,
I've been an iTunes since the first version and use it on every computer I own. Love it. I am frustrated installing it on some computers at work. I am a music educator and I like to use iTunes to organize and play my library of audio at school.
I have tried using iTunes (ver. 5., 6, and 7) on several different Dell laptops and have consistently had trouble playing (and importing) CDs. When I insert the CD, the Gracenote (CDDB) window pops up and disappears very quickly (too quickly to read...) and the CD never appears in the left panel. When I Run Diagnostics I get the following:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

So, the CD is read in the drive, but it still never shows in the left panel to play or import. Windows Media Player will do it, but hey, I don't want to use WMP! I want to use iTunes! I have tried updating the Intel chipset drivers as well, no dice.
Any help would sincerely be appreciated.

Me too! I have just updated to version 7.0.2, and now iTunes won't recognize any Cd's I put in the drive to import. It hovers for a while at CDDB Gracenote and doesn't respond. Me thinks this is some sort of 7.0.2 gracenote issue. I've never had any issues with iTunes like this before. I am running bullguard version 6.1, microsoft defender, zone alarm, spyware doctor and spybot search and destroy and none of them have intered before. any suggestions?
I think this is disgraceful that iTunes can put out a new version of iTunes with so many inherent bugs. i count my self lucky that it hasn't deleted my library. i'm off now to get an external drive and back the lot up, because i don't have any faith in itunes anymore. i have 13,000 songs, so i'd be a little ticked off!

Windows Burned CDs not readable

Can someone help me figure out why my Burned CDs won't work on my mac if they were burned with Nero 6 for Windows (I burned several CDs on my PC and when they are inserted in my iBook, three minutes later, they get ejected!) I am wondering how I can fix this, because I also seem to have a problem being able to burn CDs from the finder as well (blank CDs don't show up in the finder, and disk utility says that I am unable to burn CDs, but I have been able to burn them 2 months ago!) please help me out if you know what is going on! I am really frustrated about this!

Welcome to Discussions!
Awhile back, there was an issue with the combo drives that were shipped in the iBook G4's, so it is possible that your experiencing the same failure. Have you tried using CDs that have been burned on a different PC? Will the drive read "normal" CDs? (store-bought music, or retail game CDs) Can you boot off of the OS X install CDs that came with your iBook? If you can boot off the OS X CD, try running Apple Hardware Test. If that comes back ok, run disk first aid, and repair permissions (repair permissions 2-3x in a row). If none of that works, call Apple Support. If you were able to boot off the Mac OS X CD, you might try backing up all pertnint info onto your external HD, and reinstall the System Software.
Best,

Blank CDs not recognized by burning programs [SOLVED]

EDIT: By some divine intervention, the computer just started recognizing my blank CDs, I have no idea why it just started working, but it did!
Hi all, got a new laptop recently (Dell Vostro 1320) but burning programs don't let me choose a "destination drive", as if one doesn't exist. However, if I insert an acutal DVD, vlc-player will run it just fine. If I insert a blank disk, under gnome's "places" an option for Blank CD shows up, but when I click it, nothing seems to happen. How can I make burning programs recognize the existence of my drive? perhaps its not pointed in the right direction? I have brasero and graveman.
Here is my policy file for HAL
<config version="0.1">
<match user="tom">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</config>
I also have my CD/DVD lines commented out in /etc/fstab
#/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/cdrom /media/cd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0
NOTE: I've tried playing around with fstab, commenting, uncommenting, but to no level of success. Please let me know if you need me to post more outputs.
I will try to post some more information about my burning program preferences.
Thanks for your help, and hopefully, it can be resolved!

fstab wont help you at all - that's for reading, not writing.
I know zip about brasero et al, but cdrecord/wodim should be ok to use.
Most probably, your cd will be /dev/sr0 and to burn an iso-image you do something like this:
cdrecord -v driveropts=burnfree dev=/dev/sr0 -dao -eject -data /name/of/iso/image
I hope you realize that cd/dvd-burning is mostly a matter of transferring a whole image, you can't really use it as a 'normal' filesystem (at least as far as writing is concerned).
I guess someone will jump down my throat and tell me it is possible - and it is ... though not in the usual way of using a filesystem ...

2 users on same iMac; 2 different iTunes; burned CDs not appearing in iTunes

My wife and I have an iMac 27", and we have our own users set up; however, we wish to share iTunes music library with each other. (She syncs her iPhone with her user signon, and I sync my iPhone with my user signon.) The songs we wish to share are all CDs that have been burned into iTunes using my user signon. The songs show up in my iTunes; however, they do not show up with her signon. Is this possible, or does that go against piracy laws?
I currently have iTunes in a public (shared) folder; however, this does not seem to work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Timo

Hmm... this is a bit technical,
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

When trying to burn a DVD, my burner is not recognized

I am running WinXP. I recently used Adobe Premiere4, for about a year had no issues with burning. just recently, after creating the show from video shot with a JVC GZ-MG630 camcorder, then to share and burn, the rendering began and roughly 70% in, there was a dialog box < Adobe Premiere has encountered an error and needs to close>, my options were cancel or debug, by selecting either option, the program closed, and I would start over. I purchased Adobe Premiere9 thinking maybe my version was not compat with current updates, etc. i can import the video fine, create the show fine, save the show fine, when I select share and burn, there is a yellow triangle where my burner drive is and selecting burn I get < cannot burn the selected file( or something like that).>
how do I overcome this hiccup and get my discs burned like I used to?

Welcome to the forum.
This ARTICLE contains a lot of general tips on a burner not being recognized, and offers some possible fixes. Often, it is other software getting in the way, or it might be just a simple firmware update needed by the burner.
Good luck,
Hunt

My DVD burner is not recognized by Premier Elements. Burns fine in Nero.

Drives burning, but not recognizing burned disk

I've been burning some DVD disks lately, to make room on my hard drive. When I burn the disks (I am using the system software) they show up on my desktop, and are searchable... as long as I don't eject them. once I eject the disk and reinsert it, it shows up as a blank CD. FYI- I'm using burn folders, and I can see that the disk has been written on. Oddly, this happened to both drives at the same time, so I don't think it's a hardware issue. A re-start did not resolve the issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Bruce

Unfortunately i have no advice, but i am having the same issue... perhaps.
Just recently i've had DVD player report that a couple of DVD's were the wrong region, though both drive and discs were region 1. I have an old external DVD drive and they played fine from that.
Then i tried to mount an archival disk written a few months ago and it read as blank. The external drive also read that. I wrote new copies of the archive, one with Toast and one with Disk Utility.
Both wrote, verified, and mounted on the desktop, but as soon as they had been ejected and put back in, the OS reported i had inserted "a blank DVD".
Until i read that you had the problem on two drives, i assumed it must be hardware.
It now seems that anything i write with the built-in drive exhibits the same behavior.

CDs not recognized intermittently

I've had the Macbook for two days and have been burning my cd collection to iTunes, and when I insert a cd, there seems to be about a 1/10 chance that it isn't recognized by the Mac. It doesn't show up in iTunes or Finder. The only solution I've found so far is to reboot. Each time it's happened so far, the disc shows up as normal after the reboot. It "works" but the process is fairly annoying. Drive problem? Software problem? I ran software update for the OS and iTunes, but that didn't resolve the issue.

I have a similar problem on my imac 24 inch with 10.5. I am importing my cd collection into itunes and usually the first time I insert a disc it doesn't show up on the desktop. I have to push the eject button on the keyboard and when i insert the disc again it is recognized.

CDs not recognized [SOLVED]

Hello,
I've been having a strange problem with getting any CDs to be recognized or "mounted" within Arch--they don't show up in pcmanfm's sidebar; DVDs and removable USB/SD work fine, however. What's even weirder is that Mplayer can find and play the CD.
I'm using:
kernel 2.6.31.6-1
hal 0.5.13-3
dbus 1.2.16-1

I've commented out the optical drives as mentioned in several places.
I also had to add "ck-launch-session openbox-session" to my openbox configuration, as I was getting permission errors with accessing removable media before and this seems like the solution. It didn't fix CDs, though.
This is the output of dmesg upon inserting a CD. I'll gladly post any other info as requested:

Since itunes was updated to 7.01, some of my CDs on my MacBook are spit back out.
