CD RW Burners

 X( Does anyone have any info' on how to get the new burners to work correctly. I have tried my CR52 (latest firmware) on two different machines with varing results (none satisfactory). When I try to make an image of my "C" drive (Drive Image) the computer locks up (Abit KT7A-Raid). On the non-raid machine Drive image works OK, but the burn speed is very erratic. A 40x is recognized as 32x, and burn speed averages about 16x. Using the so called "High Speed" cd's that come with it, they aare recognized at the correct speed. But, the burn speed is still slow. MSI support suggested I RMA it, but I doubt that would help. Just for comparison, I have a 48x Lite-ON that works perfectly in both computers.
If anyone can help with this $60 "Paper Weight" I would appreciate it.     X(  X(

I needed another burner for a computer I was building for a  relative. Might as well get the newest, I had good luck with MSI video cards, so,  a burner is a burner, right ? Wrong !!! I had to take the one out of my second computer and keep the MSI. Their support suggested RMA, but doubt that would help. I'm reasonably sure it is a firmware issue. I agree about Lite-On, and learned a haard lesson. X(  X(

    I had a av cord that plugged into the iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 but its not compatible with the 5 connector. Right now i have to email myself the videos in small segments and open and save on the iPad 2 to burn them.  Is there an easier way to burn these from my iPhone 5 or through air play on apple tv?
    Thanks

    Connect the phone by USB to the computer, import with image capture, iPhoto or whatever application you use to import movies, drop it into iTunes.

  • I can't burn a playlist to a disc, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas, i can't burn a playlist to a disc, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas

    i can't burn a playlist to a disc from itunes, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas?

    Additional information: 
    -also ran "Repair" with new download of iTunes
    -am using the same spindle of CDs that worked perfectly a month ago.  Tried another brand also to be safe.  None worked.
    -ran CD/DVD diagnostics within iTunes with Apple Care - no issues apparent
    -also tried write-speed 20X on advice of Apple Care (don't know why they thought 20X would be the magic number after the other 3 I tried didn't work)
    -tried running itunes in another user account on the computer - same problem, same error code
    -Apple suggested it was a copyright issue.  I can't even burn music that I created/recorded myself, so that doesn't make sense.
    -They thought maybe Quicktime wasn't installed properly, so we checked a film in Windows Media - it played, meaning Quicktime was fine apparently. 
    Solution:
    Unclicked CD text option & Sound Check, ran burn from the File drop down menu (max speed) on a Philips CD-R and it worked!  Had been right clicking the playlist name and selecting Burn option from there.  That being said, it did not work on 2 other brands prior, with same settings.  Not sure why.  Just happy it's working again. Is it a brand issue?

  • Premiere Elements 11 - No Burners Detected

    Hi All,
    When I try and burn a project to DVD I get the error showing on screen 'No Burners detected' - if i choose AVCHD the burner shows up.
    I am running windows 7 64bit.
    Any ideas how to fix this issue.
    Sean

    While you are figuring out if Hunt's article will help, you may create your DVD a different way
    Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
    Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
    When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
    Use Taiyo Yuden single layer or Verbatim Two layer Or Falcon Pro for inkjet printable Two layer

  • External DVD burners once and for all!

    I did not buy my mini with a dvd burner on purpose because I wanted to use Lacie light scrib. So, does it work? Can you use other external burners with iLife 5 and iDvd 5 as advertised when it came out? Or am I wasting my time?

    Edward,
    iDVD5 will let you "save as disk image" and then burn the image with Toast or Disk Utility. on external drives.
    Also there are some other helper apps and maybe even drivers from LaCie that will let 'em burn directly from iDVD, but I prefer the image route in any case....

  • Will iDVD 6 burn a dual layer with 3rd party burners

    G'day from Oz.
    I've posted similar to this under the iDVD 5 forum, as this forum wasn't started, but no answer yet. Hopefully people browsing here have updated to iLife 6.
    Quote from .... http://www.apple.com/ilife/idvd/
    "Go for the burn.
    Once you finish your DVD masterpiece, only one step remains. Burning it. Thanks to stellar compatibility, iDVD 6 makes the big burn a painless process.
    With support for a wide variety of DVD media formats — including DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD+R DL — iDVD 6 teams up with a compatible SuperDrive or third-party DVD burner to offer you more media options than ever. You heard right: iDVD lets you burn using compatible third-party DVD burners.
    iDVD even lets you archive projects as disc images. Saved this way, your projects are extremely portable and take up less space, and are read-only. What’s more, they’re already encoded, so you can quickly burn them to DVD whenever you have a free moment or a burner handy".
    end Quote.
    ** Note the 'DVD+R DL'. **
    Does this mean that burning a dual layer project with dual layer 3rd party burners will be supported?
    I've updated to 10.4.4, but my Sony dual layer burner still shows as 'Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)', in 'About this Mac'. The 'unsupported' means 'no dual layer burning' as far as I know. Also, I believe dual burning is only supported from within the OS itself? True or not?
    Let's see who's first to try the new iDVD 6 out with a 3rd party burner & dual layer disk. If it works, it means iDVD 6 really does support third party burners.
    Please post results.

    G'day.
    Further to my post a week ago re this subject, from the iDVD 6 help pages.
    Quote
    Newer SuperDrive optical drives in Macintosh computers can burn discs in DVD+R DL (Double Layer) format. Double-layer discs store almost twice as much content as single-layer discs, making them a great choice for large projects.
    To see if your computer's SuperDrive can burn DVD+R DL discs, choose Project > Project Info. If you see 8.0 GB (Double Layer) in the DVD Type pop-up menu, you can use these discs for your project.
    To burn a project to a DVD+R DL disc:
    Choose Project > Project Info and choose 8.0 GB (Double Layer) from the DVD Type pop-up menu.
    Select the encoder setting you want to use. If you have more than 120 minutes of content, select Best Quality.
    Click OK.
    Click the Burn button (shown above).
    Insert the disc when you see the prompt.
    If your project is small enough to fit on a single-layer disc and you insert a double-layer disc, you see a dialog giving you the option to change the media type. You can cancel the burn and start again, or insert a new disc and continue.
    You should always burn double-layer discs directly from iDVD and not from a disc image. Double-layer discs burned from a disc image may cause playback issues in some DVD players, such as freezing during playback.
    End quote
    The last sentence is interesting, as the commonly suggested method of burning Dual layer discs is by first creating a disc image, then burning with Toast or Disk Utility.
    Also, my Sony shows up as supporting 8 Gig in iDVD 6, but still shows as 'unsupported' in System Profiler.

  • PE12 - No Burners Detected

    HI,
    ok so I've got over my other issues and was ready to burn my project to DVD...
    Unfortunately, the dialogue window comes up with a "No Burners Detected" message and there is no drive for me to select.
    Like many other topics I have read, I can see the drive if I select AVCHD but that is no use to me.
    I have gotten around the issue by writing the DVD folders to a folder and then burning to DVD using IMgBrun but this really is a cop out... I've spent good money on PE12 and expect to be able to use it to do the basics!
    I've not got Roxio or EasyCD installed so have covered off the discussions that mention that.
    Any clues?
    Distraught - Daran.

    Daran
    I would consider "Burn a Disc" dialog pop up normal when you insert a blank disc and the drive is not set for AutoPlay.
    versus
    And, check out Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/AutoPlay and place for your settings
    More later as I think about the external DVD drive no working either.
    Thanks for the updates.

  • Do Blueray burners work with a PPC G5 (dual 1.8GHz)

    Do Blueray burners work with a PPC G5 (dual 1.8GHz)?

    All BluRay burners are SATA, so you'd need either an External Firewire Burner or a SATA<->IDE converter if replacing the built-in CD/DVD drive.
    Then you'd need Software like Toast 9 or 10...

  • Using two internal DVD burners in a PowerMac G4

    Has anyone out there installed a second DVD burner in the bottom slot of their MDD G4? And if so, is it possible to burn a DVD via iDVD on "Drive 1", and while that's going, burn another DVD via Disk Utility (with a disc image) on "Drive 2"?
    I'm looking for a way to burn DVDs, two different ones, one on each drive, and also the same DVD but using two different apps so that the time spent duplicating DVDs is cut in half.
    (Hope that made sense!).
    Of course, I know there are specific machines that do this, DVD replicators that you don't need to connect to a computer.
    Or is it better to connect an external DVD burner drive, and then is it possible to do the aforementioned above?
    I'd rather not have to get an external drive. I have a SuperDrive that functions, but resides in a G4 iMac that died, so it's just sitting around unused. And if that G4 iMac was working right now, I'd be using it to burn my other DVDs at the same time.
    I guess you can see where this is going!! I used to have the capability by using two different machines, but since the second machine is (GASP!) acting like a Dell (broken), I'm a sitting duck.
    [By the way, my bottom slot is home to an old PowerMac G3 CD-ROM drive that fit like a charm. I bought a CD-RW drive for it originally, and could not get it to fit-- it was shorter lengthwise than could reach the connectors --so I ended up putting that CD-RW drive in my PowerMac G3 and swapped drives].
    Is it even possible to use two internal DVD burners in a PowerMac G4?
    PowerMac G4 1.42 GHz DP   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2 GB RAM / ATI Radeon 9700 / USB 2.0 PCI / Serial ATA 133 PCI

    If you have two hard drives in a G4 MDD you should be
    able to run two burners at once as long as they are
    not getting data from the same hard drive.
    Both burners would then have to be set
    Master. Option-Eject would then probably not work
    for the second drive but there is a menu bar item
    you can install for ejecting disks.
    I kind of lost you there. As "experienced" as I am with Macs.
    I have actually, 4 drives in my computer. ATA-66 is the original install, a Seagate 120 GB that I moved there after trying it out and finding no real speed issues (I don't have any benchmarks, but my proof comes from the work I do-- moderate video editing with iMovie and Motion... the apps reside on the 120 GB and my projects are in different places. I saw no difference in speed from when it was originally attached to the ATA 100 bus, to when it moved to the ATA-66).
    On the ATA 100, I have a Seagate 300 GB drive.
    On my PCI card bus, which has both ATA-133 and Serial ATA-150, I have a Maxtor 300 GB drive connected to the former (which is a 133 speed drive), and a Western Digital Raptor 74 GB connected to the latter (which is an SATA 150 speed drive).
    Both are never used at the same time, by the way... at least, I don't remember. (Which reminds me, I better check that. I told myself I'd never do that, but lately, I've been swapping project files from one to another to organize space and all). Talking about the Raptor and Maxtor drives.
    So what would I do then? My SuperDrive on top is a factory original install, and as I mentioned, the other SuperDrive I'd put on the bottom comes from a dead iMac G4, so it would also be an OEM drive. I just don't know if it's the same speed as my PowerMac's.
    I do follow, however, what you mean by two drives. So for my iDVD project, I'd be burning it from iDVD, from wherever my media files are stored, in this case, the Maxtor 300 GB.
    Are you saying that I'd be fine if I then took a disc image that resides on my Raptor drive, and make a DVD from Disk Utility?
    What I'm not sure about is how to set it up. I wasn't aware, until now, that optical drives also had master settings. I knew hard drives did. (So in essence, duh, it would be logical for optical drives to have it).
    When I put my CD-ROM drive from my PowerMac G3 into the lower slot, I didn't set anything. Though, since it's a read-only drive, it probably didn't matter.
    But I'm sure it would with two DVD burners.
    So what should I do there?
    (Thank you for your help by the way. It is greatly appreciated!).

  • Are external DVD burners better quality than an internal on a laptop?

    I've always had this prejudice that stock Powerbook G4 internal DVD drives are poor quality and prone to breaking down. I lost mine after less than a year of service and it seems to me that folks are regularly complaining about stock internal burners going out.
    I've had no working DVD drive for a couple of years on my old G4 and I'm getting a new one this week. I also have a Sony external dual layer DVD burner that is a real workhorse for me. It's what I've been using for all these years.
    Now I'm wondering, when I have the new DVD burner installed next week, do I need to baby it and use the external whenever possible? Should I only use it whenever absolutely necessary and let the external do all the heavy lifting? Is this new internal drive going to fritz out on me after six months just like the last one did?
    I've burned hundreds, maybe close to a thousand, DVDs on my external Sony and the machine is still good as gold. No sign of wear.
    Is there any evidence to support this idea that internal laptop drives are delicate pieces of equipment waiting to break down and that external Sonys are solid and rugged? Or is that just my personal experience and is everyone else happy with their internal drives?
    By the way, my new internal drive being shipped to me this week is an OWC (Other World Computing) drive made just for the older 400 mHz Powerbook G4 Titaniums. There's not a lot of choice in the market for a drive for such an old machine.

    Software is the key to quality. Period, along with the quality of the original content, if it is good quality then you will get good quality, if it's poor quailty then you will get poor quality.
    Use the best.

  • What are third party compatible DVD burners?

    I can't seem to find a clear answer to this question: What is a "third party compatible" DVD burner that I can use with iMovie/iDVD?
    I don't have an internal DVD burner, so I'm thinking of picking up an external one. Problem is, I don't know which ones will work. Is there a list somewhere?
    Do I need a firewire burner or can I use USB 2.0?

    LaCie Firewire External DVD burners are good and they include Toast software.

  • No burners detected

    I recently had to replace the CD/DVD drive in the computer. Since then, Premier Elements 10 shows "No burners detected" when I try to create a DVD. Clicking "Rescan" does not help. I can create a VIDEO_TS folder and use other sodtware to dreate a DVD, but cannot do so directly from PE-10.
    How to fix?

    l3bpilot
    I am not sure what you found. Typically the installation file is the one named Setup.exe.
    If you purchased Premiere Elements 10 from Adobe as a purchased download, you should be able to get another download by going to http://www.adobe.com, Signing in with your Adobe ID and password, going to Welcome l3bpilot, and then My Orders and/or My Products.
    Do not uninstall anything until you are sure that you have the right installation files.
    A popular way to do this is to go to the following web site and download the Premiere Elements 10 tryout from there. Once you have it downloaded, install it using your purchased serial number. The important part of all this is that you read the Note: Very Important Instructions section before you attempt to click on the link for the downloads at that web site. Otherwise you will get hit by Access Denied.
    http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    That web site has some sort of arrangement with Adobe to make those old downloads available. That web site does not sell the download/tryouts.
    Please let us know if that works for you. We can talk about getting additional program downloads from Adobe and your Order in the morning if necessary.
    Thanks.

  • What DVD burners Compatable for Encore 2.0?

    Adobe has a link that is supposed to take you to a list of compatable dvd burners for Encore 2.0. When you download/view the PDF file, it states that the list is for Encore 1.5 (not 2.0). Is there really a list of compatable 2.0 dvd burners????

    Not seen one, but I have always found that my Pioneer burners have been very reliable.

  • SENDING TO MULTIPLE BURNERS

    There are days when I need to burn many different DVD projects using iDVD from my computer.
    1. Is there a way to have more than one active iDVD window open, like in iMovie?
    2. Can you select external burners in iDVD?
    3. Is it feasible to have multiple dvd projects burning from the same computer?
    4. How would you go about solving my problem?
    Thanks!

    I've done two at the same time and, whether I burn one or two, I always use the .dmg method and burn at the slowest speed available (preferably 1x or 2x) - that takes a bit longer, but it cuts down on the possibility of errors, so it's worth it to me. I've not had a problem. Also remember to use quality media (I like Verbatim). And it really shouldn't effect the burn since you'd be using two different burners.

  • Burners that are more "aggressive" reading less than perfect discs

    Has anyone had experience with having to duplicate and work with originals provided by clients that are hard for the dvd drives to recognize properly when you try to make copies? I'm talking about non copy protected - industrials provided to me from varied dvd burners "in the field". Mostly different construction related specialty work. These dvd "masters" are created by feeding a camera's output to a consumer dvd/vhs combo recorder. Most of the dvd's I get are fine, but occasionally my drives "choke" on the originals. The discs are clean (no scratches) and the brand of blank does not seem to matter. I have purchased software that is supposed to have superior error correction properties and it doesn't really help.
    I'm thinking that folks in this forum might have experience with hardware solutions that might help this situation.
    TIA,
    Pete D

    Pete,
    It used to happen more in the past than it does now, but this just happened to me last week. A client broat over a DVD which would not read in all 3 of my Macs no matter what drive I used. It also only played in 2 of my multiple set top players. It eventually played and mounted in my "home" PC of all things. Having a few different brand drives ready to read the discs and a few extra computers around helps.
