CONSTANT "Supported Disc Not Available" message when trying to play DVDs

Does anyone have any idea what the **** is going on with Leopard!? Specifically, whenever I insert a DVD to play it in DVD Player 5.0, i almost always encounter the message "Supported Disc Not Available". At first I thought perhaps it was that I was trying to use some DVD encoded or burned with really new technology or something but then thought that that wouldn't be the problem since Leopard was just released and well after the most recent video DVD formats. Furthermore, the DVDs in question were released years ago. That said, what the **** is going on. I've verified and repaired disk permissions millions of times. I've tried restarting, shutting down and waiting then restarting...nothing seems to help. Can anyone advise?

Hi everybody, I have experienced that frustration also. I don't clearly know why the message appears, however I know that it happens with discs burnt form a computer (just like ronanocallaghan said). I haven't found a way to solve the precise moment, however THERE IS a way around it. When you open DVD Player instead of clicking on "Play" go to File > Open DVD Media. Once the dialog box appears select the DVD, select the folder inside the DVD most likely called "VIDEO_TS" and click open. This way the DVD Player will successfully find the movie or whatever you are trying to see. I don't know the reason but hey, it works. Another weird thing is that this just happens in the computer because if you try to play it in a DVD it doesn't give not error! Hope it helps and i'll keep finding the reason of why it doesn't work!

Itunes store not available message when trying to play purchased programs

When I try to play one of the tv series purchased on itunes I get a message 'itunes store not available, try again later'. All other purchased tv shows and movies play just fine. Can anyone help?

I'm having the same problem. One TV series refuses to stream on the Apple TV, stating the iTunes store is unavailable. All other purchased content streams fine on the Apple TV.
I can download the TV series in iTunes on the computer, then stream from the computer to the TV. That works, but not when streaming directly over the Internet without a computer.
I have engaged Apple Support, but so far they have been pretty useless in assisting me. I have sent them screenshots, hand-held videos of the problem, descriptions. This is insanely frustrating and very disappointing.

HT4108 not authorized message when trying to play a video on the tv?

does anyone know what to do I purchased the video from i tunes. I'm trying to play it throuh the ipad to the tv but it won't connect it says not authorized?

Were these songs purchased using another account?
" I opened a new iTunes account and copied the files to the new account. "
Do you mean to a new library?
Account is a user neame and password with which you purchase content.
A library is your collection of media.

Supported Disc Not Available error

I have anew mac book pro that is about a month old now. I've never used the DVD player until today trying to watch a movie. I got an error message that states after I pop the DVD in : Supported Disc not Available
I've tried several DVD's and I have the same message with each one. I'm playing a cd right now while I type this. Any thoughts on this problem??

Hi - we have the same problem and I tried this fix but the repair permissions buttons are greyed out when I select the DVD Rom - if I change to the hard drive then they become active again.
Can you suggest any reasons why this is ? We are logged in with administrator rights - grateful for any assistance

Why do people using other brands of smart phones get a "not available" message when they try to view vids that I made on my iPhone 4s?

I made a video on my iPhone 4S and e-mailed to another party to view. The other party told me he could not view it. He said he got a "not available" message when trying to view it. Next I sent the video to him in a text message. He had the same problem again.

I have the same exact problem. let me know if you figured anything out

My Mac Mini doesn't recognize my Avengers DVD--it keeps saying "Supported disc not available." I've tried other DVD's which work, but not this one. itunes and everything else has been updated to the newest versions. Help?

My Mac Mini doesn't recognize my Avengers DVD--it keeps saying "Supported disc not available." I've tried other DVD's which work, but not this one. itunes and everything else has been updated to the newest versions. Help? Also...It doesn't recognize the digital copy DVD.

I have ALL the exact same symptoms as on my home computer.
It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc.

One Step DVD in Mac OS X DVD Player = "Supported disc not available"

I created a few simple movies in iMovie HD 6 and burned them in iDVD 6 as One Step DVDs from the iMovie Project file using Verbatim 2x DVD-R discs. The final DVDs have no trouble playing in my standard component DVD players, however they won't play on any of my Macs. I get a "Supported Disc Not Available" error message when I launch DVD Player.
Is there a compatibility problem between DVD Player and DVDs burned with iDVD??

My version of DVD Player is 4.6.5 which works fine, but I don't EVER make OneStep DVDs. Check your version.

Supported disc not available; i.e. imac not recognizing "burned" dvd

After using iDVD, and not being able to create a finished dvd from an iMovie project with my 1000mz iMac, I had to use my daughter's 1.4 gz iBook, and successfully burned a disc image.
After I burned a DVD from the disc image, it played fine in my home DVD player, and the iBook from which it was created. However, when I put the disc in my iMac, the disc was not readable within DVD player. I kept getting the following message:
"supported disc not available".
Although the name of the DVD appeared on the desktop, DVD player could not play the contents of the DVD. After visiting the Apple store, the "genius" suggested the super drive in the iMac is very sensitive, and after age, may not read all discs.
Now my question:
If i need to upgrade to a MacBook (so I have a faster processor to finish DVD projects), and the finished discs are not readable in my iMac, does this all make any sense? Is there another explanation as to why the finished disc was not readable in my iMac, yet was readable in 6 other Macs at the Apple Store? Could it be the media (I doubt), the super drive in the iMac, or the way in which the disc was burned using the iBook? (I used "Toast" to burn the dvd, not apple's "disc utility" .Any advice is most appreciated.

Yes it could be the media....some drives don't like some kinds of media. You might find if you switch, things get better. I like verbatim. Is it a DVD-R or DVD+R? How old is your iMac?
http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia
the super drive in the iMac
Yes it could be that too. Could even be a dirty/dusty lens in the iMac. If it's not working now, I'd try a CD/DVD lens cleaning disk. Some users don't like these and think they can damage things, but not me. But use at your own risk.
or the way in which the disc was burned using the iBook?
Since it worked well in many other players, it sounds like you've got a pretty good burn. But I said pretty good. You can get better burns if you burn at slower speeds - I use Toast at 1X when I want the "best" burn. I doubt Toast is the problem though, just maybe the speed of the burn.
DVD compatibility is still not where it should be for home computers, Macs or PCs.

HT2499 why does my dvd player all of sudden say "supported disc not available" for dvds i have played in the past

My dvd player has been displaying "support disc not available" for all dvd's that i put in that just weeks ago were playing fine. ive tried cleaning the player and that did nothing...dont know what to do

I'm having the same problem lately. I have a mid 2010 21.5" iMac with an internal SuperDrive running Yosemite. I tried putting in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and "The Giver" rented from RedBox. Both spin sputter for a bit and then eject the disk back out. So, it never mounts and no software (Finder, Disk Utility, DVD Player) ever gets a chance to see it. Both play fine in a 15 year old DVD player, and my purchased copy of "The Dark Knight" mounts just fine in the iMac. So, I have to assume that something is being done to the DVD's that rental companies are given to prevent them from mounting or something.
Not having any luck on Google trying to confirm that.
I guess I need to amend this. Both DVD's play fine in a early 2011 13" Macbook Pro with the internal SuperDrive. It's running Mavericks still and has a "MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-8A8". The iMac has a "OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H". Not sure if it's the drive, the OS, or what (although I will say I'm fairly certain I was having this problem on the iMac before Yosemite, so it's probably not the OS).

Why does the DVD player say "supported disc not available?"

So, regular DVDs will play and are recognized on my Macbook Pro, but I'm trying to play a recordings DVD (for a music literature class) and the DVD player says "supported disc not available." The DVD is supposed to work on my operating system since it's the newest one, but I don't know how to fix the problem! Please help!
Thanks!

Please give me a comprehensive answer to every possible direction. Thank you!
