Data dvd not recognized

Hi
Wonder if anyone can help...
I have recently had a show-reel put together and they have sent me a copy on a data dvd with AVI and MOV files on it. This is so I can burn it and upload it to websites etc.
When I load the disk it doesn't seem to be recognized. There is no icon on the desk top but The iDVD application does automatically open up though, however I can't find the files anywhere.
I have looked in disk utilities and the disk is listed but it wont let me verify it.
Does anyone have any ideas about why this might be and what I can do it about it.
I want to try and burn a couple of copies so any help would be great.
Thanks

Thanks for confirming that Import is correct.
When you say the Capture Scratch folders only hold captured material, does that include Imported material? And if so, when I look in the Capture Scratch folder and see not QT files (as I have seen in the handful of previous projects I have attempted) but small "FCE document files" then I do have some kind of problem, right? I'm just trying to figure out where to start in understanding this, and it seemed to me the external hard drive source was the new variable here; that maybe there was something I had missed in terms of what was required when using the XHD as a source instead of my own camera capture. If that is not the case-- that is, if a QT file is the same whether brought to the system through Capture or found on an HD and imported-- then I have to figure out what I did to screw up the Capture Scratch function. I have not done any render effects. I'm just setting up. I've not done much of this and none at all recently, so operator error is certainly possible. I'll reproduce the export and see if I can refine the settings. Thanks for your patience and thoughtful assistance.

Intermittent : The term 'get-date' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

I have developed a batch harness whereby all scheduled tasks (W2012) invoke a common powershell script that acts as a wrapper to all our housekeeping jobs.
The first step in the wrapper is to create a Transcript file using following code
if ($Host.name -ne "Windows PowerShell ISE Host") # Transcript does not work within ISE
$timestamp = (get-date -format "yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss.fff")
$path = "c:\corp\$timestamp" + "_$pid.txt"
Start-Transcript -path $path -append
As expected the folder contains files with timestamp & pid in name

Date format not recognized -- urgent help needed

Hi,
I'm having a problem when start sqlplus in dos command window. If I start it from C:\oracle\ora81\bin, it won't started and error message showing like 'Date format not recognized' and then come back to DOS.
I do have OWB installed which also has SQLPLUS installed so that there is no problem if I start it from C:\ORACLE\owb92\bin.
For some reason, the path is setting as C:\oracle\ora81\bin before C:\ORACLE\owb92\bin so the default always goes to 81 folder.
If restart the DB instance, and this problem is gone. But it comes back after some application running (our own application and Oracle provided OMBPlus ). We double check our own application, and there is no where to "alter session ...".
Any help will be very appreciatged,
Thanks,
Daming

I'm having a problem when start sqlplus in dos command window. If I start it from C:\oracle\ora81\bin, it won't started and error message showing like 'Date format not recognized' and then come back to DOS.
Do you have a file called 'login.sql' in the folder 'C:\oracle\ora81\bin'? If there is one, is there an 'alter session' command in this file?

Empty CD or DVD not recognized

Hi all
After weeks of burning CDs or DVDs without any problems I suddenly get these errors and I cannot burn anymore:
a.) If I load a CD-R I get from the Finder the message "Dieses Medium kann nicht verwendet werden, da es nicht erkannt wird." in english something like "Media cannot used because not recognized ..."
b.) Same message when loading a DVD-R
c.) If I load a CD-R I get from iTunes the message "Der Brenner wird gerade von einem anderen Programm verwendet." what means in english something like "Burner is used by another program ..."
The optical drive can read bought CD (Music) and DVD (Movie) without any problems. So iTunes or DVD-Player can play them without problems.
I'm not sure but could it be there was a bad software update? I remember some days/weeks ago I got a quite huge software update from apple related to the OS, iTunes a.s.o.
In other posts I've read that people had to exchange their optical drives but I don't think this is the problem here because reading runs without any errors.
Thanks for any support.

APE12, burned dvds not recognized, bd-r media does not recognized

I have a problem with burning with my PE12, I have a win7 64 bit PC, with following
BD Burner: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH16NS40 from LG
BD-ROM: iHOS104
Problem 1:
=========
All DVDs I burned with PE12 are not recognized on my HiFi BD-Player, ONKYO-BD-SP809
the same DVD is NOT recognized on the BD-ROM in the same PC
the DVD is RECOGNIZED on the burner (see above) in the same PC
Media is 8x DVD-R, and ONYKO and BD-ROM of course supports this type of media and I used the same medias in the past (Verbatim)
Problem 2:
========
I thought, ok, so I burn a BD, I have BD-R media, which worked fine with pinnacle ...
I made a sample project (1min length) and try to burn it, but the burn menu shows the right device (F: in my case and the right name), but it tells me Status: there is no media inside! Allthough the media is inside the BD-Burner.
I am getting mad about it ... anybody can help me out?
P.S:
Burner, BD-ROM, ONKYO and PE are updated to the newest firmare/versions.
Best regards top the community

Thanks for the follow ups.
Premiere Elements 12 DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc that will not play back on the ONKYO player....
If you take the VIDEO_TS Folder from the DVD disc that will not playback as DVD-VIDEO on DVD in your player and look inside it, do you find a file named VTS_01_1.VOB or possibily VTS_02_1.VOB? If so, can you play that file back on one of your computer players? These are video files.
Can you take the Premiere Elements 12 DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and play it back on the computer with Windows Media Player or VLC player?
Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file.
Local Disk C

and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. It should be generated again after you open a new project. Work with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited. The try another burn to DVD, followed by play back on players of interest.
Any progress up this point? If no....

[CLOSED] CD/DVDs not recognized (hal-less KDE)

Hello everyone,
after the last system upgrade last week CDs and DVDs are not recognized when I insert them in the drive.
I'm running hal-less KDE 4.6 with udisks installed.
I removed hal after the upgrade, however the drive could not recognize the disks even when hal was running.
I searched the forum but haven't found any discussion reporting the very same problem.
Can anyone help me to debug this?
Thanks!

I had the same / similar problem. Just that given that I build my own kernel I thought this was what was causing it. That's why I rebuilded the kernel and enabled ISO and UDF modules in Filesystems. If you're using the standard kernel I have no idea what could be the problem.

DVD--not recognized AND stuck in drive

I've had trouble with my G4 not recognizing DVDs. I just put one in that was burned at a store with a friend's videotape--it never showed up in the finder. When I launch Disk Utility, it hangs. I am using an older keyboard without the disk eject button; I can't get the disk to eject, can't drag it to the trash because it doesn't show up. When I reboot with the mouse button held down, the Mac won't start up--I just get a Windows-like gray screen of death.
I don't know what the drive is--it's an old Super Drive--because the Apple System Profiler also hangs when I click on the "Disc Burning" option.
How do I get the DVD out, and how do I get the G4 to recognize DVDs?
Thanks for any help--Bob

Hi-
Try and open the tower drive cover, and look for a small hole about the size of a paper clip, in the front of the dvd drive. Insert a straightened paper clip in the hole, and you should be able to open the tray.
You should then try your Tiger install disc. (While you're at it, boot from the install disk, and run Disk Utility to repair your hard drive).
If the install disk is read, then the drive is probably okay.
You may consider an "Archive and Install" reinstall of your OS X.
Prior to that, you may consider a reinstall of the OS 10.4.8 combo update:

Please post back with progress (or not).

Data DVD Not Reading On PC

Hi:
I'm preparing to send off pics I took and imported into iPhoto. I then exported them to a folder, and since there are more than will fit onto a CD, used Toast Titanium 7.0.1 to burn a data DVD with the Mac & PC format tab selected. The DVD will either not show up in one PC I tested on, or on the other it says the files are unreadable. Any suggestions TIA.

Did Toast compress them in order to fit them all on a single DVD? You might try using the Finder to burn the disk and use multiple disks to do the job. I've never had any problems with my burned data disks and PCs.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Data DVD not recognised

I burnt my images on my old PC on a DVD, marking it as a data DVD and making it presumably compatible with other systems. It can be read by other PC's, but not by my new MacBook. It marks it as an unburnt CD!!
It reads CDs & DVDs just fine.
Please, if you have any ideas...
MacBook Pro 15" @2.1GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Sonic is the name of the company (they bought Roxio), not the application. But anyway, I have Sonic DigitalMedia Plus on my Dell and I see an option to burn as Data > "Direct to disc" which would indicate it is probably using packet writing (similar to writing to a floppy or DVD-RAM), then they have the option to click "Make compatible" in order to share the disc. Maybe you didn't click that? If your other PC's also have the same burning software, they would be able to read it even without making it "compatible". Or make sure you are clicking on "Data Disc" instead when creating new discs.
Let me know how you made out.

Burn imovie to dvd-"not recognized"

I spent 5 days and about 26 hours making this iMovie. I bought the **** DVD's to burn it on to 42 of them for work. I finalized the project numerous times, did the "Media Browser" thing and chose the file sizes. I insert the DVD to burn, and it claims that it is "not recognized" in order to burn it. I am beyond frustrated and NO, Apple, I will not give you any more of my money. Helllllllpppp!!!

When you insert the Blank DVD in the finder with nothing else open.
Does the finder recognise the Mounted Blank DVD?
IF it does try burning a small file onto the blank DVD through the Finder.
If it fails what is the error that the Finder tells you?
If this works then proceed
Use a Free App like Burn http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
Drag and drop your movie files then click Burn. Job Done. 
Alternative
you should be able to burn using iDVD.

Also, on a lot of sites I try and go to all I get is squares and letters that don't make any sense. I would just like my DVD to work. I have hardly used it. Since this is an all in one it isn't like I can just pull it out.

ORA-01821: date format not recognized Error in PL/SQL report-4.0

Hi,
I am using Apex 4.0 and i have a Classic report(function returning query) which selects a date column.
The query runs at the backend and gives the output.
But when i run the report on the page, i get the error
report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-01821: date format not recognizedThe values for the date column are like this 14-MAR-13,01-FEB-13 etc... Everything seems to be right.
But I have no idea why this error occurs.
Thanks
Divya

Aren't these errors annoying! But there's a data / format mismatch for sure. What I need to see -- and what will tell you what is wrong -- is
1) exactly what the data is and
2) exactly what the format string is that is being used to convert it.
The values for the date column are like this 14-MAR-13,01-FEB-13 etc... Question: Is this the source data or the target data ( what it's supposed to look like after being converted)?
Let's start there:
What is the source? Is it a DB column? Is it type date or VARCHAR2 or what?
If VARCHAR2, then give us an example of the data that is failing.
What is the format -- I assume there is one -- being used to convert the data?
Are you doing a TO_CHAR or a TO_DATE?
Give us lots of detail, please. Then it should be easy to solve.
Regards,
Howard

Data DVDs Not Mounting

Hi there -
My Power Mac tower is now suddenly refusing to mount my data DVDs - all are discs of photos and other non-video files. All of these discs were burned on this machine. And all are DVD-R's, and different brands of discs.
Is this possibly an issue with my version of Tiger? (I'm on 10.4.11) I have been on this version for a while, and I can't say when this problem would have first started -- I don't think I've tried to read these discs in months.
Anyone have any thoughts that might help?
Thanks!
Tracey

Hi Tracey, and a warm welcome to the forums!
It may very well be the burner going out, & the CD & DVD parts use different lasers, as well as Reading & Writing using different circuits & voltages.
What happens? Do they get ejected? Are they seen if you open Disk Utility?
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.

External DVD Not Recognized

I have a Sony DWQ28A Dual Layer DVD burner that I have put up as an external drive attaching to a Firewire hub. Tne Mini does not recognize the burner at all. I have tried Disk Utility and there is no drive showing.
I have heard that Patchburn may be a fix but I have also heard that it works and then it doesn't. I have also seen that Toast Lite 6 should be used with this burner in Mac 10.X environments but I am hesitant to go there when the burner is not being recognized at all.
I would rather ask questions beofre I start downlaoding stuff that is not going to do the job.
Any thoughts?

I just got a reply from tech support at Sony concerning my problems with my DRX530UL burner (external DVD burner did not respond properly). They say that it is not supported for Mac at all.
They listed two drives that are supported for 10.2 and up: the DRX720UL/T and the DRX710UL/T. Note: the /T means Mac compatible! The drives with the same model numbers and no /T are NOT Mac compatible!
The 710 has a slower sustained and burst data rate, (16MB/s vs 21, and 66mbps vs 480mbs), and the 720 comes with Nero and Toast Lite.
Both drives do DVD-R/-RW, DVDR/+RW/+RDL/RWDL, etc etc.
My burner is several years old, and at $180usd, I can afford to upgrade to DL support.
I guess the moral of the story is that if Sony doesn't say it's Mac-compatible, it's pot luck.

OS X Upgrade DVD not recognized

I just put XP on my old MacBook. Everything went OK, except when I put in my 10.5 DVD it doesn't get recognized by Windows! Is this possibly because it's an "Upgrade" DVD? The original system software DVD that came with the MacBook is 10.4.6., and XP doesn't recognize that, either. So I don't have any way to install the necessary drivers....

Do you have your old hard drive with Lion and does it still function properly so that if you were to reinstall it in you MBP you would be back to square one?
If so I suggest this: Put back your old hard drive and open DISK UTILITY app (in the utilities folder).
Erase the new hard drive and format it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Go to "restore" and from the left side bar drag the old hard drive to the SOURCE window and the new hard drive to the DESTINATION window. Click the restore button and go to lunch. The more data you have the longer it will take (could be 2-3 hours). Use a firewire if you have it or an esata wire even is even faster. These will speed up the data transferr.
After this has been completed, swap the drives and you should be in business. My experience has been that the first boot takes longer than what you are used to.
CAVEAT: I have done this several times with no problems, but never with Lion. If you try this and fail I suspect there is some aspect with LIon that prohibits the transferr but I'll be bold and wager this will not be the case.
Caio.
