Compatible DVD list

I would like to know if all Lite-On DVD recorders compatible with iDVD 6? And is there a list of all compatible DVD recorders.
PS. I'm looking at buying the Lite-On 16X DVD Recorder.

There is no offcial apple list of such burners.
But I recommend Pioneer and Lacie external burners.

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?
Thanks.

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

Compatible DVD-RW drives for Satellite Pro 4320

I want to upgrade the CD-ROM drive of my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4320 with a new DVD-RW drive. If i bought the following drive, will it work with my Notebook?
Samsung SlimDrive SN-S082D
http://www.samsung.com/Products/OpticalDiscDrive/SlimDrive/OpticalDiscDrive_SlimDrive_SN_S082D.asp?page=Speci fications
Or please, if you know of a DVD-RW drive that is compatible with this notebook, then share your knowledge so I and others know what to buy. Thanks.
Or are all drives available nowadays compatible?

Drive compatibility is always a problem by upgrade. The fact is that every ODD will not work with every notebook model. I presume it is because of different pin assignment.
Unfortunately I was not able to find any list of compatible ODDs for your notebook model. Sat Pro 4320 is pretty old unit and it will be probably not so easy to find compatible DVD-RAM drive. Try to contact authorized Toshiba service in your country. They are upgrade specialized and they should know which ODDs are compatible for this Satellite Pro notebook.

Compatible DVD-RW Drives - Power Mac G4 Quicksilver 733MHz

Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver 733 MHz. Does anyone have a list of compatible DVD-RW drives? I want to replace the existing CD-RW drive so I can install Tiger from the DVD.
Also want to install a 3.5" Floppy Disk Drive, anyone know which models are compatible?
Thanks for your help,
Martin

For the least problematic and most compatible brand DVD±RW drive for use in Macs, I'd recommend a Pioneer drive, like this one. You can use other brands (like NEC, Samsung, or LG), but bootability can be iffy from one brand to another. Some of the major names (like Sony) sell rebranded drives, so you never know what product you'll get from one model to another, even with the same "name" on it. You don't need to restrict your search to Mac dealers, because your G4 uses the same DVD±RW drive as PCs. A Mac dealer may include (third-party) Mac burning software, which the drives marketed for PCs won't include. As for a floppy drive, you'll have to settle for an external USB version. Unlike their PC counterparts, older Apple FDDs had a single ribbon cable that conveyed data and power. There isn't any means to connect one of these to the standard interfaces found in the B&W G3s and newer Macs. With the cost of USB flash drives now less than $10/GB, why do you want to install a FDD in your G4? Is it intended for temporary use, until you've copied the contents of older disks to another medium?

Compatible DVD Drive problem on Satellite U200

I am over in Iraq and my commander's cd drive quit on the Satellite U200 laptop. The drive that was in there was UJDA765 which cannot burn DVD's. The problem with that drive is it quit seeing DVD's and the CD part only worked sometime and then it made noise.
I looked for a compatible DVD burner to replace it with and found UJ-822B. Several sites said it was compatible and I found people that say they were using it. Can anyone tell me if it really is? I already had the drive shipped here. Is there something that I need to do to get the laptop to see it? It does not show up in the hardware section, but it has power and opens and closes correctly. I have moved to the point of considering flashing the bios, I have done that many times but do not see any benefit as the changes in the new BIOS.
If I was wrong, can someone tell me a DVD burner that is compatible?

Thanks Barrie,
I ordered the 765 and installed it, however now I am getting the pxe driver error on bootup and the drive is not found. I checked the in the bios and saw no problems, I did change the order of bootup and that did not resolve the problem as I found that recommended on several sites.
I removed the battery and checked the connections but the plug it plugs into is soldered to the board so that is not a problem. The old drive had a cd/dvd (755 model), it is still found but only the CD works, the dvd does not.
I thought about replacing the laser on the drive itself, but now that I have the new drive and it still is not working I am not sure. I am going to replace the bios with the newest version but other than that I think this laptop is just shot.

DVD list in Appleworks to another database?

Have my CD and DVD lists in APPLEWORKS and want to find a new database program to transfer them to before I upgrade to Lion. I'm talking several thousand DVDs and 500 + CDs.

Basically your choice is either Bento or Filemaker Pro. Bento is inexpensive, easy to use, but very limited. It ought to handle a CD database OK but I'm not sure how well it works with very large databases.
FileMaker Pro is expensive and has a steep learning curve: however it's extremely powerful and in many ways handles something like the Appleworks Database.
Note that you will need to export your database as ASCII text and import it into either program: neither can open an AW database (and neither can anything else). You will lose all layouts, and calculation fields will show only the result and have to be remade.
These pages go into some detail on the subject:

Compatible DVD decoder not installed

Hello. I am so helpless...and need advice, please someone....
I was working on a project in Premiere Pro and my computer(Windows XP 1GB) crashed. I heard compatibility problems with CS3 and Vista, so I took my computer to a repair place. It came back with a new hard drive, but the computer says "Compatible DVD decoder is not installed in the computer." All it has is Window Media player..... I have CS (the initial CS version), and I need Windows XP so that I can use Premiere CS version. I do not have any newer version of Premiere than CS. I am sorry, but I am totally lost and have no idea what to do.....

The message is probably telling you that your trying to play a DVD-Video disc without having an
MPEG-2 codec installed. Except for some versions of Vista, Windows doesn't come with an MPEG-2 codec. Most of the time it gets automatically installed with a DVD player software that often is bundled with a DVD drive. Maybe you have an installation disc of such a player lying around somewhere.
Otherwise you will need to buy the codec:
DVD Decoder (MPEG-2 Decoder) Plug-ins
You can check whether or not a Media Player compatible MPEG-2 codec is installed with this utility:

Compatible Dvd Rewriter for Satellite A30 P4 2.8 ghz

Can anyone tell me if there is a compatible dvd rewriter internal unit for my Satellite A30-514 P4 2.8GHz/WXP HE/512MB/30GB/15TFT/DVD-CDRW .And where i can get one.

Hi Michael,
I changed the original CDRW in my A30-141 (a TEAC DW224E) for a Mat****a UJ825S with no problems at all. I just needed to swap the plastics from the old drive.
I don't think the UJ825 is still available now but the later versions should do just as well.
I have burned many a DVD on the Mat****a with no problems so I am very happy with it.
Try Googling for a suitable device, I found quite a range of prices when I searched for mine.
regards,

Mac Compatible DVD Player List?

A few years ago I got a list of DVD players that were Mac compatible from here. Can someone provide me with a link to that list if it's still around. My JVC just died and I need a replacement. It needs to understand iDVD movies as well as copy's (yes they're legal, if you have kids I'm sure you understand the reasoning).
Thanks for any help,
Tony

I thought the same thing until I tried playing numerous DVD's on my mother-in-laws system that shows that support, sometimes they play sometimes not, mostly the latter.
This could be the result of a high rate of burn errors caused by poor media and/or high burn speeds. Such discs will often play in some players and not others and also, not always play in the same player that once played them.
Use good quality media (Verbatim or Maxell) and burn at 4x or slower. iDVD doesn't offer any burn speed options, so you must create a disk image file out of iDVD (an option under FILE) and then use Apple's Disk Utility or Roxio's Toast Titanium to actually burn the disk image to writable at a slow speed (both offer burn speed choices).

Compatible camera list

I am looking to buy a camera to use on some personal projects and build a demo reel. I've tried to locate a list of cameras compatible with FCP 5.0.4 but have so far been unable to do so.
Can someone give me the url for this? Or let me know if these cameras are compatible: Sony HDR-HC7; Canon HV20; and JVC GZHD1US. I am going consumer due to cost, the jvc has a lot of features I like but records to a hard drive and I am old school enough to still want tape, but if it works best with my software, I'll try it.
Thanks for any and all help,
Doug

All of the cameras that you listed, the Sony HC7, the Canon HV20, and the JVC GZHD1US (JVC GR HD1US you meant?) are all HDV cameras and should not be a problem when using it with FCP. When working with Final Cut Pro, you are going to want to avoid the Hard Drive cameras using the AVC Codec, because you will not be able to edit that in Final Cut.
I personally have a Canon HV20 and a JVC HD-100 and they both work with Final Cut Pro. The only time that you will have fun with either of my cameras is when shooting in 24p mode. With the HV20, the camera actually records the 24p timeline on a 60i tape timeline and thus cinema tools is needed to do the advanced pulldown. I among others posted specific instructions on how to do this with the Canon HV20. It is a bit of work, however, the biproduct is awesome. The JVC HD100 is a different story since they use their own ProHD codec.
Hope that this helps.

How do I get previously purchased software on DVD listed as an App Store download?

As many likely have, I have previously purchased Apple software (Aperture, Final Cut Express, iLife, iWork) before App Store began. I obviously do not want to re-purchase but now my Macbook Pro and Air do not have DVD drives.
Is there a way to get App Store to recognize these purchases so that I can have them listed in App Store?

To recognize software purchased on a DVD in the App Store, the only way to do it is to repurchase them in the App Store.
If your MacBook Pro and Air don't have a SuperDrive, you can buy an external optical drive to install it or, if you have another Mac, you can use Remote Disc to install the software on both computers. Also, Final Cut Express isn't available on the App Store

Compatible dvd burner iphoto 6

I'm about to buy an external dvd burner for my G4 12" power book running Panther10.39. I want to burn dvds to archive IPhoto 6, 900 pics for 2005, all about 3mg and maintain albums.
In Iphoto help there is a statement "To see a list of external CD/DVD drives that work with Mac OS X, look on the Apple website." I've spent much time trying to find this list but cannot locate it! Can anyone help? I've ordered a Lacie firewire dvd burner.
Many thanks!

Halifax,
I am using the LaCie DVD burner at this very moment on a 12in Powerbook with Tiger. It works great. DVD quality with iDVD has been excellent.
