Conflict with Sony DVD RW DRU-700A...............??

I have a Creative Audigy 2 on XP Home.........using the Creative Organizer, I can't burn my cd because in Strument/Options/Burn...NO CD RW is displayed.....it's strange because I can burn my cd with Nero....... I already installed the latest driver for Audigy 2 and for Sony........but the problem remain....What can I do?
Thanks

This does work, I had trouble with both my sony's 540a and a 70a-dl.
Also if you have NeoTV .0, this program when started will take out your dri'ves. It seems to be a burning engin conflict of some kind. I just found out about it myself. I can reproduce the problem over and over again. I have not found an coilation yet between SB and NeoTV, but the problem goes away when I uninstall it..so there is some kind of conflict their.
Good Luck

  • No 1x burning with Sony DVD RW DW-Q28A

    My 2.7 GHz/Dual Power Mac G5 comes with the Sony DVD RW DW-Q28A. I am unable to burn a DVD at 1x. Why would I want to burn at 1x you ask? At lot of DVD Players will only recognize 1x and 2x burned disks. We have the ridiculous situation of having to create DVD's with the Dual G5 and then transferring our creation to an 800 MHz iMac in order to burn at 1x so that people don't return the DVD's. My daughter recently had her PowerBook fixed by Apple. I noticed that part of the fix was installing a Matshita DVD-R UJ-825. That drive is also able to burn at 1x speed. Is it that this Sony model is "speed challanged" or is it just a problem with my drive?
    I don't even know if buying 1x and 2x media is a solution with this particular drive. I have also read that there might be a firmware upgrade available for it. Unfortunately, from the directions I read, I would need to remove the drive and use an external USB connection with Virtual PC or install it on a PC and flash there. Are there no other solutions?

    There is no official Apple firmware update for your
    drive - using non-Apple firmware will void your
    drive's warranty.
    Regarding your trying to burn 1x: Try another brand
    of DVDs and make sure that their speed rating
    includes 1x
    The same brand I used to burn on the laptop at 1x was used on the G5. It just seems that the Sony drive is "too stupid" (okay tha'ts not a technical term - lol) to listen to Toast when I request a 1x burn. On the Powebook with the non-Sony drive when I tell the software to burn the disk at 1x, it does, taking over 40 minutes. The blank DVD's I'm using are Verbatim 16x that are rated "up to 16x".
    Just to make it even more clear, I have no problems burning 16x discs using the Sony drive. They are readable when used on my computer and on very modern DVD players that have DVD drive transports originally designed for PCs. They just won't play, for instance, on my Sony DVP-S500D which is a much older machine. When I burn at 1x on the iMac or Powerbook it plays fine on the S500D.
    At the end of the day, if the drive won't burn at 1x what's the difference if Apple voids the warranty on a drive that can't be used for the purpose for which it was intended -- namely the creation of DVD's that will play to a wide range of DVD players.

  • Dual-Layer (DVD+R DL) burn hang with Sony DVD RW DW-Q28A

    I have been trying unsuccessfully to burn an imovie project with idvd. Symptoms are some of those described in other topics:
    - idvd goes through all stages and hangs in burn
    - hang is always in the multiplexing phase
    - EncoderServer and ThumbnailServer also hang
    - all wait for a semaphore
    I have seen the entries for upgrading the firmware on the Pioneer drive, but did not see anything similar for the Sony. I am using Fuji DVD+R DL disks.
    Any help is much appreciated

    This problem has really not been resolved; I have worked around this problem by purchasing Toast, as iDVD has failed miserable on each attempt.

  • Clarification using Elements 7 and Sony DVD architect please ..

    Hello all,
    I am close to finishing my 2nd set of "How To" instructional DVD's.
    I have been reviewing the required steps in order to create a menu with "Sony DVD Architect."
    I see in a past discussion that it was mentioned to:
    “ .. Export [your Elements project] as an MPEG2 file without DVD markers, then adding the DVD markers and menu in either NERO or Sony DVD Architect Studio .. Note if you export MPEG2 you need to use the smart-rendering in the applications to ensure your video isn't re-rendered ... resulting in a slight quality hit.”
    Is this still a good way to do this?  Would it be better/worse to export the Premiere Elements
    project as an ".avi" file and pull that ".avi" file into Sony DVD Architect?  Then, render with Sony DVD Architect?
    Thanks!
    --Tom Nickel

    Steve,
    Thank you very much for your prompt reply!
    Yes, I wasn't concered about markers, I figured that I'd create all of that in DVD Architect.
    But, you've raised an issue that I had not thought about!
    My DVD will be about 1 hour, 25 minutes.
    Of course, I did expect a small loss in quality as some compression will be required in order for the material to fit on a standard DVD.
    So, where sould the compression be done?  I know that Elements will compress down to whatever length is necessary
    (To render, a selection something to the order of: "fit contents to disk").
    Even if I "pre-compress" in Elements to fit on a standard DVD will DVD Architect re-compress the program material?
    Thanks again,
    --Tom Nickel

  • Sony DVD's

    I have been using Handbrake and Mediafork with a lot of success to rip my DVD's to mpeg4 to watch them on my AppleTV. However, I am running into problems with Sony DVD's they have ARccOS protection and I am unable to rip so I can watch on my ATV.
    Anybody know of a Mac ripper program that will work on Sony DVD's?

    David, MacTheRipper would be the program you're looking for. I have been using macTheRipper followed by Handbrake with great success. Since you did not say which Handbrake you're using I suggest Ver. 7.1.
    I believe the latest Mediafork /Handbrake is still beta And might still have a few bugs. When using MacTheRipper pay close attention whether Disc RCE reads
    CLEAR or DETECTED. If it reads detected set the RCE region for your disc otherwise the default settings are OK. I hope this helps, good luck.

  • My Sony Dvd recorder is not recognized

    Since I downloaded iMovie 09 I can get it to read my videos off of my Sony dvd camcorder. iMovie 08 worked well with the Sony but now I can't upload videos. Am I doing something wrong or is iMovie 09
    not compatable

    I have similar problem with Sony dvd 505E, Imovie09 will not import files, says they are not readable,however Iphoto is able to read from same Handycam the still pictures stored on the memory stick. This Sony handycam, using same USB connection, has no problem importing movies into Windows PC but i would like to edit in Imovie09.

  • Does Superdrive stop seeing already burned Sony DVD-RW's?

    I use .mac's Backup program with Sony DVD-RW's. Out of a box of ten, I've had 3 that Backup initially "sees", but then when it tries to burn, the burn fails.
    After that, I can't get Disk Utility or Finder to "see" the DVD-RW. Note, the DVD-RW's in question were successfully burned at least once before this occurs.
    Is there anyway to restore or erase the DVD-RW's so that Finder/Disk Utility and/or .mac Backup can use them?
    Or do I have an extraordinarily bad box of discs?

    No doubt you shouldn't be having this problem.
    But never rule out the DVD media you are using.
    Sorry to say there is a huge difference in quality and compatiblity.
    I would try something like Maxell 16X DVD-R media
    I always read the back of the Jewel cases and make sure they will burn 1X through 16X this way it will burn on just about anything out there. There quality is top notch and you can buy them in a 3 pack for under $4.00
    See if that helps. Cheers Don

  • Error 50 when DVD backing up using SONY DVD RW DW-Q30A

    When trying to burn a DVD to act as a backup, Itunes begins the process, then reports it cannot burn the disc due to an unknown error - the only consistent one seems to be Error 50. Somewhere in the discussion threads there was an article correcting this problem for a different drive, but I am unable to find it again. No new drivers for BIOS etc - always automatically updated
    Thus 2 questions.
    1. Does itunes have a problem with Sony DVD RW drives, and if so how do I sort it out?
    2. If no-one can solve Q1, can they point me in the direction of the article mentioned above?
    Many thanks

  • Sony DVD Drive Problems

    At our school we have a number of iMacs (flat screen with round base) of varying varieties. We've found a problem with a select number of them after upgrading the software from 10.3 to 10.4 (Tiger). 1ghz and 1.25ghz models (later iMacs)
    All of our iMacs with Sony DVD Combo or Super drives no longer recognize DVD's - commercial video or data. Those iMacs with Pioneer Combo or Super drives still work just fine.
    When a DVD is put in the Sony machines - nothing happens and it is ejected about 45 seconds later. Preferences are set to run DVD Player. When we start DVD player before hand and insert a DVD, clicking Title or Menu options give the "no available disk" message.
    We've tried trashing the com.apple.DVDPLAYER.plist file and restarting the machine (worked in another discussion thread - no player brand mentioned - Sony?) this made no difference.
    Any info on this? The upgrades appear to have rendered these Sony DVD players just a CD player (in function - About This Mac shows them as DVD RW's, etc.) Again, this only affected those iMacs with the Sony brand drives, and we don't expect we had 14 DVD drives go bad in one weekend.
    Thanks for any info.
    - Tom

    HI Tom,
    In your original post you indicated you upgraded to 10.4 Make sure every single iMac has the same version number. Click the Apple logo top left in your Desktop, then click, "About This Mac". When the pane opens the Mac OS X version numbers will be displayed. They need to all be at: 10.4.11
    And... make sure all the possible Software Updates have been done.
    After I did the 10.4.11 update, I couldn't use Sony media to burn CD or DVD on my Macs. Specialist at a nearby Apple store suggested I used Verbatim. Sure enough... works like a charm. For whatever reason, the most recent 10.4.11 version just doesn't like Sony and you aren't the only Mac user experiencing this issue.
    " Again, this only affected those iMacs with the Sony brand drives, and we don't expect we had 14 DVD drives go bad in one weekend." I hope you mean DVD as in disks not hard drives ????
    Something else to try. Open Disk Utility from the Applications/Utilities folder. Insert one of the DVD's and see if Disk Utility sees it in the panel on the left.
    And... My CD or DVD doesn't appear on my desktop
    If you insert a disc into your optical drive and nothing seems to happen, try the following:
    Open a Finder window to see if the disc appears there. If it does, your Finder preferences are set not to show CDs and DVDs on the desktop.
    To change this setting, choose Finder > Preferences, click General, and select the "CDs, DVDs, and iPods" checkbox.
    Check your CD & DVD preferences by choosing Apple menu > System Preferences and clicking CDs & DVDs. If you've set the computer to ignore a CD or DVD when it's inserted, you won't see your disc on the desktop or in a Finder window. Change the appropriate setting to open the Finder when a disc is inserted.
    One last thought. DVD's and CD's... all it takes is a thumbprint and the laser can't read the disk. Try cleaning the disks and see if that makes a difference. You'd be surprised. Here's tips on how to do that: http://www.ehow.com/how2049991clean-dvd.html

  • Whirring Noises while Burning Sony DVD

    Hi Everyone;
    I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem - I'd like to determine if it's a hardware (Matisha DVD-R UJ-846) or media problem. On occasions, when I go to burn a DVD, the drive makes a very loud, deep, whirring noise - like it's spinning up, then down, then up (and so-on). This is with toast 6, btw. If I leave it going, it returns an error (I'm not sure what the error is right now - I now cancel it because anything that makes that sort of noise can't be good...)
    This is with Sony DVD-R media burnt at 4x (disk allows up to 8x, but have read elsewhere that the Superdrives don't like 8x media) but would this be enough to cause that sort of noise? Or does it require a trip to Apple?
    The main problem is that it isn't consistent - I've successfully burnt some, and not others, but am reluctant to keep it running should it cause some internal damage...
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Burning DVD in Lion Problems. Keep getting REGION ERRORS in SONY DVD PLAYER @ playback. Settings correct. Leopard burns fine with all media. Lion does not with TOAST. DVDSTYLER burns a readable disk.

    I have tried several types of media in a brand new (less than 2 months old) 27" iMac running the latest version of Lion. It will not burn a standalone DVD player readable disk. I am in North America and buring in NTSC format. Settings are set properly. Buring at BEST speed - states its burning at 3x. I have tested SONY printable DVD's +R and Verbatim non printable -R disks in Lion with Roxio Toast 8 & 10. No luck. DVDSTYLER burns a readable disk, but not realy happy about the look and functionality.
    I am getting REGION LIMITATION errors in the SONY and other stand alone DVD Players.
    Disk plays in XBox 360 and laptop PC also.
    I am set to region 1.
    AS I stated, DVDSTYLER does burn a readable disk, the problem seems to be with TOAST and LION ?
    My old 21" iMac running Leopard 10.5.8 has no problems with burning. Any media, Toast 8, disks perform just fine.
    Any suggestions ?
    My only solution is to do the editing of movies I need to do on the 27" and transfer them to the 21" for burning.
    lame
    Or use the sub par DVDSTYLER program.
    acceptable but disappointing.
    ideas ?

    SONY DVD player is brand spankin new.
    Have not tried Imation disks.
    Its just puzzling that Leopard and Toast 8 produces a DVD where as Lion and Toast 8 produces a coaster.
    I tried not printiable Verbatims. Same result.
    Need printables for the projects that I do.
    Appreciate the suggetsions.
    Will be methodically dilligent and post any results here.
    any help from any others would be appreciated.

  • Sony DVD-R 1x - 8x compatible with iMAC G5 isight?

    I just purchased a box of Sony DVD-R and after reading the warning on the box I'm worried that it could somehow damage my MAC.
    It reads: "Always check if your drive is compatible as using this disc on some drives/recorders might damage the disc or device."
    How can I check if the Sony DVD-R 1x-8x is compatible with my iMAC?
    Thanks for your help.

    Lots of people report successfully using Sony disks. I myself prefer TDK or Fuji, but Sony will work just fine.
    I assume that they are the full-sized disks and not the mini-DVDs that are used in a lot of camcorders. If so, I can't imagine how that disk would damage any drive.
