Can I re burn a rewritable blue ray disc that has been burnt on?

I am using FCP X and using a panasonic blue ray burner to burn my products. When I use Verbatim Rewritable Blue Ray discs, the first time used....no problem with a great result. When I try to reuse same disc, mac does not recognize burnt disc so does not ask me to reformat disc so it can be reburnt. Is their a way around this? I also have Compressor 4 running if this helps? Thanks

I'm using a Pioneer BDR-206D.
Firmware version: 1.56
I have burned and re-burned Verbatim BD-RE 25 GB 2X discs. Although I think all the times I used these discs was in FCP X for viewing/testing. I don't think I tried them with Compressor.
I have burned BD-R 6X discs with FCP X, Compressor, Encore and Toast with no issues. While Encore burned 6X BD-R discs at 2X, Toast burned the 6X discs at 6X.
The only issue I ran into with this drive was with some Lightscribe discs. Which at the time I didn't even realize they were Lightscribe. The Pioneer drive would not even recognize these disc. They were DVD I believe.
I simple installed the Pioneer drive and used it.
I'm running Lion 10.7.2.

FCPX can't burn to a Blu-Ray disc

I purchased a Blu-Ray drive and some Blu-Ray discs. But FCP can't use the drive becasue it says some other application is using it. I went into system preferences --> CD's and DVD's and set all options to ignore such that no applicaton should be trying to use the device. But FCPx still can't use the device becasue it says it's in use.
How can I find out which application is attempting to utilize the BD drive?
When I insert a disc into the BD drive, I can hear it churning away as if soemone it attempting to read the disc I just inserted. But it's a blank disc and there is really nothing to read.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Jim

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you able to burn a CD from another application or the Finder? If so then try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
If not, how much free space do you have on your boot drive?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Importing a Blu-ray Disc that I created

I created a Blu-ray Disc and I lost The master file. How can I import the Blu-ray Disc to be re-edited again?
Thanks

Let me Google that for you.
Be sure to rip into a video format that works well in After Effects: ideally, an intermediate codec like Quicktime PNG or Animation, Quicktime ProRes, Uncompressed AVI etc.

That is "activation lock". You won't be able to use the iPhone unless this is cleared by the original owner.

How can I update a quicktime movie placed in Keynote, that has been modified outside of Keynote??

HI! I really like Keynote for quicktime playback during a tv/film shoot, and use it frequently on set.
Media assets change frequently though, and it would be nice if the movies I place would update along with the external source.
How can this happen in Keynote? Seems like even if you save the file without copying audio/video into document, it still somehow references the initial placed movie.
Thanks for your help solving this problem, would be great if this app worked like every other app that imports external media.

That's a shame. It takes some tweaking, but PowerPoint can do this. I know it's not something that is needed all the time, but it's something I've needed on a few occasions. I wonder how well the timing would work out if I broke the video up into sub clips and simply assigned a clip to each slide? It's a lot more work and I suspect I'll pick up some clips and pops during the slide changes.
Keynote is still far better at what it does than PowerPoint, but do I ever wish it could do this so I could really show it off to people.
Thanks for the reply!

What can I do about an iMovie app I downloaded that has been "loading" for over 30mon now?

Hi all. I'm new to Apple and don't know what to do. I downloaded apples free iMovie app onto my iPhone 5c wig iOS 7.04. Even though that was over 30min ago now, the desktop icon for the app still says that it's "loading". What can I do to delete it? When I click on the loading icon it just pauses it. Thanks for any help out there in appleland!

See if you can download it as a previous purchase in iTunes on your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519), then sync it to your phone.

Can someone tell me how to enable and ipad that has been disabled without using iTunes

My sons ipad is in disabled mode and his mom doesn't have access to iTunes. Can anyone tell me how I can get it working again?

Take it to an Apple Store for assistance. However, the iPad will be returned to its out of the box configuration (erased). You may be asked to provide proof that the iPad is yours.

HT4847 How can I delete an iCloud backup of a device that has been wiped and sold?

I have wiped my old iPhone and it has already been repurposed. How can I delete its backup from iCloud now?

You'll probably have to get help from Apple on that. If you have an iPhone 5 and are within your 90-day free phone support window, get ahold of iCloud support and see if they can fix this at their end: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

Can I get the serial number for a printer that has been stolen?

I know that when I got the printer, I did an online registration. Is any of that information available?
I purchased it from Staples and I am looking for the receipt but no luck yet.

If you registered the product you should be able to find the information through HP's registration information page here. I just checked mine and it had devices going back about 10 years with the product types and serial numbers.

How do you get Chapter Markers to work when burning a Blu-ray Disc in FCP7?

I created my first-ever Blu-ray disc yesterday, using FCP7. My edited video was 95 minutes long -- it took 10 hours to encode and burn the disc, using an external Blu-ray burner.
The Blu-ray disc looks and sounds great -- but my 21 chapter markers are nowhere to be found. When I play back the disc in my standalone Blu-ray player, clicking "next" on the remote simply advances the video in 30-second increments (instead of taking me to the chapter markers I'd carefully created in FCP -- because this was a music concert performance, the markers are important and I need them to work.)
Somebody please help ...

Hi Larry,
just to clarify in the 'edit markers' dialogue box you have clicked 'Add Chapter Marker' button and this has added the text '<CHAPTER>' to the 'comment' box.
as in the 5th picture on this tutorial

IMac won't accept blu-ray discs

My iMac won't accept a blu-ray disc when I insert it - the iMac spits it back out after about 10 to 15 seconds. I then tried a normal DVD and the iMac accepted it and started playing it almost immediately. Is it not possible to play blu-ray discs on an iMac or Powerbook? Are there any fixes?

Hi guys,
I in the same situation as Seattle Oz, in that I am thinking of buying an iMac and would like to use it to produce high-definition videos. I currently use a Sony VAIO VGN -- A R21S which has a Blu-ray disk drive. I am told that with the use of Roxio Toast, I can burn to a Blu-ray disc but cannot play it. I find it pretty incredible that a product that is renowned for video editing and allows you to produce a Blu-ray disc doesn't actually have the facility to play it! However that being the case, what does anyone else do, to produce HD quality videos and how do they export them, if not by Blu-ray disc. I would also like to know what format the output is in, when it is burned onto the Blu-ray disc.

Premiere Elements 12 does not recognize blank Blu-ray disc.

I just upgraded from Premiere Elements 8 to PRE12. Now when I insert a blank Blu-ray disc in the BR burner, I get a message "Media Not Present". It does recognize the burner, but not the blank disc. Yet when I open PRE 8, PRE 8 does recognize this very same disc in the same burner! Also, PRE 12 can burn a blank DVD in this same burner. The Blu-ray disc also appears as a completely blank in Windows File Explorer. And this is a problem even after updating to release 12.1. The Adobe chat representative tells me this is a know issue with PRE12. I find that difficult to accept, since why would Adobe change in PRE 12 something that was not broken? What's the truth, and when and how can it be fixed?

First, I tried uninstalling, register cleaning and reinstalling Premiere Elements. This was a mess. I kept getting error messages when trying to reinstall. So I had to do a system restore to just before I uninstalled PRE. After that restore, PRE would not open. So I did another uninstall from Control Panel and reinstall, without touching the registry. Then, I was back in operation, several frustrating hours later. But still the BR drive would not recognize Blu-ray discs.
So then I loaded a BR-RE disc, instead of a BR-R, and still no recognition.
Then I installed the external Blu-ray burner, and finally PRE12 recognized the blank Blu-ray disc. I had a sign that this would work when I attached an external DVD drive to burn a AVCHD file, and PRE12 recognized the blank media, whereas it did not recognize any blank DVDs in the internal BR drive for burning AVCHD files. As a alternative to borrowing an external BR drive to see if this fixes the Media not Present message, I suggest using a much more readily available external DVD drive and try to burn a AVCHD file first. If that works, then one can be much more confident that purchasing an external Blu-ray drive will provide the solution.
Yet I deeply resent having to purchase a $125 piece of hardware, which is otherwise useless to me, to fix a bug in a program. The box promises the ability to export a Blu-ray disc. Since their lawyers use the weasel word "compatible" Blu-ray burner required, I fully expect them to take the position that now only an external burner is "compatible", and do nothing to fix the compatibility with internal burners. Potential buyers be forewarned!
As an alternative to paying more money to make their software work as indicted on the box, one might want to settle for only being able to write AVCHD files to a DVD. Most every computer (except Ultrabooks) has an internal DVD burner, which supposedly all that would be needed to burn this kind of HD file. But first, we all need to know, will PRE12 return a Media not Present message when burning a AVCHD file to an internal DVD burner? What are the field reports of any problems incurred doing this procedure? Please advise.
And one more question. When I burn an AVCHD file to a DVD, the DVD is not finalizied by PRE12. After burning the AVCHD file, the DVD shows free space available, but after burning a DVD Video, there is no free space available. Moreover, ImgBurn does finalize DVDs after burning AVCHD files to them. So Is this failure by PRE12 to finalize another bug? Can ImgBurn now finalize an unfinalizied AVCHD disc left by PRE12 -- without having to run another session of PRE to burn to a folder now, of course? If so, how?

Creating Blu ray disc using FCP

I'm curious to know how people are creating a data file for a Blu Ray Disc that use FCP? i.e Toast w/ a third party burner.
Thanks

Will you be using Encore or Toast to encode the video file?
In either you should start a video file exported as self contained current settings from FCP, and encode that to either h.264 blu ray mpeg2 HD in the settings of either Encore or Toast.
What are your sequence settings in FCP?

Blu-ray disc

Is it possible to burn a HD Blu-ray disc from and FCE project? I have Toast 10 Titanium, and a LaCie Blu-ray disc burner.

You use Toast. You export to QuickTime Movie. Take the export file to Toast. Toast burns the disc.

Using an external Blue Ray Disc Drive/Burner with an imac? Can I? Brand?

I have a blue ray player in the living room and I'm just starting to research burning blue ray discs using the imac.
I have an intel based imac, 2.8ghs intel core 2 duo, 4gb sdram, 1tb hard drive.
Should I be able to safely use an external blue ray burner?
If so, recommendations as to a product?

there is no official support for blue ray drives in leopard. Steve jobs said blue ray is "a bag of hurt" referring to the licensing issues for blue ray.
As a result there is no recommended drives as they are not officially supported.
I can't recommend either as I don't use Blue ray yet.
A quick google brought up this
http://www.tuaw.com/2007/01/25/blu-ray-arrives-for-the-mac-wheres-hd-dvd/
Judging by your list of gadgets below your post, it won't be much good as it is for the Mac Pro
All I can say is that Snow Leopard may bring better support for Blue Ray, all you can do is hope!
