CS4 or 5 install breaks DVD formatting in Win7?

Searching for the reason I cannot get Windows 7 (64-bit Home Premium) to format a CD or DVD before burning I came across a refererence to such problems started by CS4 or 5 installs. Strange connection, but I believe this was Sony engineers making the comment.
I am having this problem and it started at about the time I installed CS4 Web Premium and also Photoshop/Bridge CS5. My machine has an i7-920 and lots of RAM. I have taken a lot of other steps (repair installs) that have not fixed the issue, although the third-party program ImageBurn can format and copy files and folders to optical disks with these two DVD writers -- and not Windows7.
The language I saw referred to fixing the High and low filters. I don't know what that means. I tired to search here but nothing appeared with several search strings, so I apologize if this has been done to death here before.

Over in the Encore forum there have been extensive discussions of software that "hijack" an optical drive and makes the drive "invisible" to some programs... Encore in particular

  • Software in CD or DVD format

    I would like to get this software in CD or DVD format.

    This is impossible. ExportPDF is not software you install on your computer at all.
    Rather, ExportPDF is a service on Adobe's web site. When you use ExportPDF, it sends your PDF to Adobe, they do the work, and they send it back to you. This works as long as you have a subscription.
    However, Acrobat Pro includes features to export (Save as) different formats, and this is very different. It runs entirely on your computer, and can come on CD.

  • Where to burning MPEG2-DVD format with?

    Since Adobe got rid of Encore and I do not have CS6 to downgrade, I am looking for an free, alternative programm to burn PP MPEG2-DVD format with.
    Do I need a DVD-Authoring software or can simply windows burn the files on DVD for players to read?
    Thx,
    Alex

    As far as I know, you MUST install Premiere Pro CS6 to get Encore, there is no separate install of Encore
    I have seen mention of then uninstalling P-Pro CS6, with being careful to uncheck the option to uninstall Encore

    I am trying to install the cs5 upgrade on my new laptop, however, I cannot locate my cs4 program to install first.  Am I out of luck?

    You do not need the older version installed in order to install the upgrade version, but you do need the serial number from CS4 to prove that you qualify for using CS5.  During the activation process for CS5, after you successfully enter the CS5 serial number you will be asked to select the qualifying version (CS4) from a list and to enter its serial number.
    If you registered CS4 when you originally installed it then you might be able to find the serial number available in your Adobe account online in the Products section.

  • Possible to install HD-DVD Burner in iMac G4?

    Hi, I was wondering if it is at all possible to install HD-DVD burner in a iMac G4? Anyone tried this?

    I know that Toast Titanium 8 for Mac supports Blu-Ray burning (Apple's loyalties are in the Blu-Ray not the HD DVD camp) but the G4 is not a processor I'd ever want to be encoding HD in. The G4 wouldn't even be up to playing discs. So I think you could do it with a Blu-Ray drive but you shouldn't do it. I hate having to wait whilst an SD DVD encodes HD is at least four times longer. Remember Apple hasn't put a HD spec burner in even it's 8-core Mac Pro yet!

  • CD/DVD drive does not read all DVD formats and regions

    Hi
    My Teac-dw-224e-a does not read all DVDs formats and regions.
    It does read CDs but no DVDs at all.
    Not DVD-R and not even regular DVDs. I have checked the region of the DVD.
    I have reinstalled the driver and also tried with different software.
    What can I do?
    Please help!

    Hi
    It is possible that your DVD drive has wrong region settings.
    In this case it is not able to watch all possible DVD movies from different regions.
    Of course you can change the settings 4 times. But after this changing the settings are fixed and its not possible to change it anymore.

  • Install CD/DVD crash every time

    Install cd/dvd all crash --
    -------- the short version ----
    Both are Sawtooth-- all install disks are retail -- tried opt key selection --
    g4 400, had os9, install from boot cd - x2 then x3 then x4.
    upgraded cpu and vid card
    30 days later : slow start = 3 minutes
    try to reinstall osx4, boot disk crashes. osx2 & osx3 install disks crash.
    Attempted following procedures, repeatedly and in different combinations:
    reset nvram, remove pram batt, change ata cables, change cd--drive, run memtest on ram, Removed upgrades = Restore machine to original configuration & reset nvram, remove pram batt.
    Check PSU, seems weak, at 200 w max, test shows momentary drops below specs
    Also remove hds, disconnect zip, put slave hd on same cable with master cd-drive. tried 3 different cd-drives, NONE of these things have resulted in booting from the cd-drive.
    Get 2nd g4 450, 236 PSU, no hds. put hd from g4 400 into it and try to boot from install = crash. Boots to the hd with x4.10 on it, Install TechToolPro4 and make an “edisk”. firewire edisk boots - hd boots- cd crashes.
    IF ONE machine was bonkers I would blame the machine, but two NO, especially the g4 450 is pristine - makes me wonder if it has been used more than a few hours EVER.
    Rework g4 400 - install old 20 gig hd with osx3 on it, it boots, try boot from cd, cd boots up BUT no hd is loaded, in disk utility no drives show up. Change the ata cable and try again, now boot cd attempt locks up. Still boots to hd x3.
    Here's a “hmmm” at one crash I found this line in command line = “ expected / previous boot version not the same” (I don't remember verbatim)
    I thought removing the pram batt cleared that from logic board mem.
    Back at the office I had a PM9600 running osx3.9 (with xlr8 patch) and had to clear the power (pram batt remove procedure) to boot back to os9, but it worked and had no problem of it. why do both of these g4s fail to boot to cd/dvd? Currently (used to originally install osx) Nec 2500 cd/dvd drive and the new Pioneer 112D, new cables, cleared pram and nvram AND reformatted drive from edrive (TTP4 emergency drive).
    I have run out of ideas, unless there is some firmware command (other than nvram)
    Is this an electronics engineer question?
    Any one else ever had this situation?
    thanks for help
    K
    please remember the already attempted diagnostic attempts.
    Is it possible that osx4 added something to boot-rom, or firmware?
    That an install disk will not boot just makes no sense to me at all.

    Since it was two machines, and alot of hardware, and install disks, I had to stop and restart my thinking.
    I put both machines back to stock, made a list of requirements for each bit of hardware, and inspected the disks very closely.
    The original problem may/probably result of flaky powersupply and nVdia card combination. Disks wont boot because nVida requires X 10.4.5 to allow boot.
    All the swapping parts and drives only shifted conflicts, didnt remove them.
    Put New unfromatted hd in G4-400 and (0S9 no boot, OS X2 boot but no install) OSX 3 boots and installs, try to upgrade to OSX4 and crashes, look at disk again, skuff marks = I used a disk cleaner device that spins on the disk, supposed to clean it, but I "cleaned it" 10 times in succession.
    Reboot and install took, so those small skuffs were part of the problem.
    Went to the G4-450 and installed OSX 3 and upgrade to OSX 4.
    Now one step at a time upgrade hardware, and
    #1 keep a running written log of everything done to the machine.
    #2 get an install disk with osx 4.6
    #3 remember the lessons learned ---

  • How to install a DVD on the hard drive

    I have only used DVDs that are not supposed to be copied.  Now I have a video course that recommends installing the DVD to the hard drive, and suggests launching the program from the hard drive will be better.  
    I have no clue how to install a DVD.  
    Thanks,

    Insert the DVD, double-click it to show the folder, and drag that to the desktop, then it will copy.

  • Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro [was: pro]

    Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro. It is coming from my other macbook.

    Install normally means running setup from the orginal discs or the downloadable trial version. If you are copying from a backup or another computer, that won't work.
    Best advice is to download the CS4 trial, and have your serial number ready in order to convert the trial into a licensed version.
    Get the trial here. Follow the instructions carefully or the download link won't work.

  • I need to install I DVD but it says that:An eligible iDVD application was not found in the location /Applications., I need to install I DVD but it says that:An eligible iDVD application was not found in the location /Applications.

    PLease, I am trying to install I DVD but it says that an eligible iDVD application was not found in the location /Applications.
    Somebody can help me?

    It sounds as if you're trying to install an update rather than the actual application itself. iDVD is no longer included with new Macs and you'll need to use your original Applications disc to install it (or, if you never had it at all, but iLife '11 from Amazon to get iDVD).
    Good luck,

  • I need to know the best, safest way to convert video for Mac.  I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer.

    I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer.  This is for a Christmas present!  Help.

    I don't think you need to use a ripper program to read a home movie DVD. Those are primarily for copy-protected commercial DVDs, right?
    I think you just need to transcode the DVD files using a utility like Handbrake, which is free and fast.

    Ask this on the iDVD or the DVD Studio Pro forum. It has nothing to do with FCE. You'll find more experience DVD creators on those forums.
