DDPE - External CD/DVD Media discovery

We are running 8.4.1.6372 of DDPE. When a CD/DVD is inserted into a USB connected drive for writing, DDPE does not detect the media to be encrypted. Has anyone else encountered this issue? USB thumbdrives detect just fine, it's only the CD/DVD media that is the issue. The Credant to Go module used to handle this, I do not see such a thing in DDPE...

Actually I have the same question. I’m looking for a good external DVD player that users KNOW works will with the IdeaTab Lynx K3011W (running 32-bit Windows 8).
 I've had some trouble with the LG Slim Portable Blu-Ray Multi Drive (CP40NG10) working with my Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx K3011W. It's very intermittent (USUALLY works but not always) and I could not get the bundled Cyberlink software (thus free) to install. Some elements of the suite install but crucial items (like the DVD player) just "hang". I’m still hunting for a good DVD app and using trial versions to find one. I've updated drivers and firmware so that isn't the problem.
If I could find a more reliable DVD player I’d get it. I’d probably KEEP my current one (and use it on some other machine).

  • Is it possible to install leopard from external USB DVD drive?

    Hi all,
    I've read through the various posts on the subject and there doesn�t seem to be a definitive answer on this. I've got a Lacie USB2 DL DVD drive which I'm trying to use to install leopard on an earlier MacBook Pro (core duo 2.0ghz). I've tried the various suggestions (hold c on boot, hold option key on boot, set dvd as startup drive), and so far been unsuccessful. The drive is just not recognized.
    The DVD media is fine(I've got family edition of Leopard), I've successfully installed it on my G5. The Lacie drive recognizes it fine, when I'm in tiger on MBP and insert the disk it is mounted as I would expect. I did try dbl-clicking the install icon as well (in case you were wondering)
    So, does anyone have any other ideas for me to try, or should I go and get a refund on the Lacie drive? The guys in the store (Apple authorized reseller, not Apple Store) assured me it would work, so I don't want to look like a clown if it is possible and I'm just doing it wrong
    Anyway, thanks in advance for any replies.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. Yes the MBP is currently running Tiger, I want to flatten this with a fresh install of Leopard. I can view the install DVD when in Tiger currently.
    I haven't tried what you have suggested, but I have seen various posts suggesting this approach. I've also seen several posts explain how to create a partition on an external firewire Harddrive and this seems to have worked for various people.
    This would however mean that I didn't really need the external Lacie drive at all, as I've got access to my G5s DVD drive over the network. The more I search on this, the more convinced I am the USB drive was a bad idea.
    Once again thank for the response.

  • Problems Installing Win7 using External, USB DVD Drive

    I have a mid 2010 15" i7 MBP which I upgraded to from 4GB to 8GB RAM courtesy of OWC.  I recently upgraded the 500GB 7200RPM HD with a 240GB OCZ Vertex 3 and using an OWC Data Doubler, I replaced the DVD SuperDrive with the 500GB Hard Drive.
    I used an External USB DVD Drive to install OS X SL On the SSD without issues. Also, I got all my updates and software installed and working without any problems.
    I've been running great for about 2 weeks now, so I decided to install Windows 7 64bit Ultimate. I ran Boot Camp Assistant and partitioned the 240GB SSD in half 120/120. Everything went fine with creating the partition. I selected to Install from the Win 7 DVD media in the USB DVD drive and rebooted.  I got a grey screen.  I turned the computer off and turned it back on.  Holding down Option, I selected the Install DVD from the Boot Menu.  I then got a screen with the Apple Logo flashing intermittently with a Circle/Cross Hatch.  So I can't get the Windows Install to start to save my life.  I know the External, USB DVD works since I used it to install OS X and I have no problems using it in OS X.  I Know the media works because I tried a test install, without activation in a VMWare Fusion VM. 
    Any suggestions are appreciated?

    So here is the answer.  The Firmware on the MacBook Pro only supports installation of OS X from External Media and will not install operating systems from 3rd Parties.  I tried to install Windows XP, Win7 Ultimate  32 & 64bit, and Ubuntu 11.04 but no success.
    Supposedly, the MacBook Air does support installation of 3rd party operating systems from external media, but I have no way to confirm this.
    I ended up reinstalling the internal DVD drive installing Win 7 and Ubuntu on the SSD.  Using rEFI, I'm able to triple boot all 3 operating systems.  Then removed the drive again and reinstalled the 2nd HD. Everything seems to be working fine.
    I'm looking for someone who has experience in Mac EFI Hacking to see if there is a way to enable booting 3rd Party OSes from external media.  I'm guessing someone could examine the MBA firmware and figure out how to hack that capability into the MBP.

  • Ejecting Blank DVD Media

    Hello all,
    I have an Intel iMac that has been working great for about a year burning DVDs from iDVD and Disk Utility. I use Verbatim 16x media and always have. Earlier this week while working on a slideshow/video for our swim team; iDVD errored trying to write a disk. No message just stopped and ejected disk. Now, if I insert blank DVD media, it will not mount and ejects after a few seconds. I read something about alignment issues. I've also read that this issue could be related to a firmware/software update.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Leo

    did you solve your problem ?
    I've got a similar thing ... not exact ..... when I have external media they do not eject except if I use disk utility .... boring since just trashing or clicking the small arrow did it for years and now .... NOT ....
    don't know if it's connected, but I've been searching for a why on this for months .... no info coming back to me yet ..... obviously worried if it spells disaster at some point when I am blocked completely

  • 8x DVD media for MacIntel Mini

    I've been searching for affordable 8x DVD media for my MacIntel Mini. A number of first grade brands have only burned at 2x, but I think I've found something which will burn at 8x in the UJ-846 superdrive:
    Japanese-made Taiyo Yuden 8X DVD-R
    Media Silver Thermal
    Lacquer 50 Pack in Cake
    Box Spindle Premium Line
    from Super Media Store dot com
    So I don't come off as a total shill, I'll let you do the googling for it
    The cost delivered was about 40 cents per disc.
    I can't say whether the cheaper bulk-pak versions of this disc will also work, since I have no experience with them.
    Hopefully this thread will collect other suggestions for DVD media which burn at 8x in this fussy Superdrive.
    iBook G4 800, 640 Meg, OSX 10.3.9 + MacIntel Mini w Superdrive    

    NO. I don't want an external drive. I want my SuperDrive be Super as Apple called it.
    Experiencing the same problem: it burns, seems well, but do not read dvd when re inserted. No more than 20 discs in 2 years and half.
    Seems to me that drives used are too delicate (i had the same kind of problem also with my first iMac DV se graphite and its dvd player)
    Regarding compatibility with media issue, it's curious my drive is a Sony and has same problem also on Sony DVD-R ver. 2.
    Well, as far as i know, laser temperature is the greatest difference between burning and reading, (much higher in first case); this could motivate the look of well burning and not reading at all, if the lens is simply dirty..
    Could be that holes of my ball iMac have been designed for a shower??

  • Pre12 – unable to burn AVCHD to DVD media

    I'm using Pre 12 with Windows 8, editing AVCHD video, and want to burn AVCHD to DVD disk media (to play on a Blu-ray player).  However, whenever I try Pre12 shows “media not present” as status, despite having a blank DVD in the drive.  But, simply changing from AVCHD to DVD works fine.
    Some background:  I’ve been a Premiere Elements user since V1 and after purchasing a HD camera several years ago I’ve burned many short HD videos on DVD media s using Pre 10 and 11 AVCHD format option.  However, that was before converting to a new computer and installing Pre12.
    My new computer is a Dell XPS 8700, Win dows 8 64 bit, with an internal Blu-ray Combo Drive (Reads BD and Writes to DVD/CD). The drive shows in Windows Devices as “HL-DT-ST DVDRWBD CH20N”.  It claims to read and write DVD media in either the plus or minus types.  I’ve been using TDK single side DVD + media. I've reported the problem to Dell Technical Support without success.
    So, I don’t know if the problem is with my hardware, media, or a bug in Pre12, and would greatly appreciate advice.
    Thanks in advance

    1. Yes, HD or SD video will burn (in DVD format) to DVD media on either internal or external optical drive.  The reinstall of Pre 12.0 solved that problem.
    2. There was no change to results when attempting to burn AVCHD to DVD media.  The internal optical drive continues to show "media not present", while the external drive shows "ready"
    3. There was no change to results when burning to Blu-ray which continutes to operate correctly - the external drive shows "ready" (and burns are still successful).  Note that the internal drive can only write DVD media so isn't shown by Pre 12 for this task.
    Below is revised table of results:

  • Question on reinstalling DVD media software on a Satellite A100-049

    When I first ran the System Restore on my Toshiba laptop it put these two on but I can see no way to reinstall them without restoring the entire drive back to when I first bought it. I still have WinDVD installed but have removed Ulead (I forget the exact name of the DVD Media software) and cannot now re-install it.
    Would Toshiba send me a proper installation CD for these?
    Thanks

    Thanks. I was thinking that.
    There's nothing wrong with the actual disc as far as I'm aware. There just appears to be no obvious menu when you run it from Windows. It restores perfectly fine. I wasn't sure if Toshiba would send me "normal" CDs for this software. I'm not after anything more than I get anyway.

    I doubt this can be relocated or moved so you might want to just repost in the macbook pro area.

    Can you afford a new Thunderbolt case and cable? any case with FW800 is going to be slow 72MB/sec and less, and any new 1TB drive is capable of 75MB/s minimum up to 125MB/sec.
    Thunderbolt storage can of course when setup properly reach 100's of MB higher using multiple drives.
    Use what you have for a system backup or for secondary backup storage.
    you might be able to take the drive - most cases allow you to open and swap drives - and use this:

  • Can i use ANY external CD/DVD drive with the NEW mac mini?

    We just got the newest Mac Mini and want to get an external drive for importing and burning CD's and DVD's.
    Can we use ANY external CD/DVD drive or do we NEED to use the "Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive."
    Thanks
    Eliot

    Maybe.
    I've had some situations where a non-Apple DVD drive would not do a particular job.  When I tried the same project with the Apple SuperDrive everything worked perfectly.
    This is an area where I would not try to save money.

  • Odd problems with reading DVD media [concluded]

    There is an odd problem I've encountered...(I'm not sure if its a bug with Arch Linux or Linux in general).
    Firstly, the details:
    * I've updated the systems (using "extra", "current", and "community" respositories). So its the current one (0.80 "Voodoo"). I'm NOT using "Unstable" respository.
    * I've already added the user to the "optical" and "storage" groups. So there's no problems in relations to permissions.
    * My fstab entries for the CD and DVD drives are default (I didn't touch them)...That is, "iso9660" and "udf" respectively.
    * My desktop environment is KDE 3.5.5...And I have changed the behaviour of the desktop icons such that DVD media, CD media, and USB devices will have an icon pop-up as soon as you plug them in.
    * I have "hal" loaded in the DAEMONS of /etc/rc.conf
    * I'm using 4 different Linux systems with the following DVD burners.
    => Pioneer DVR-108
    => Sony DW-Q120A
    => Hitachi-LG GCC-4240N (DVD-ROM/CD-burner combo)
    * There are three Sempron 2800+ (Socket 754, 1.6Ghz) boxes and the last one is on an IBM R40 ThinkPad, and I know you can't read DVD-R media on that. But it should be able to read DVD+R media without issue.
    * Two of the Semprons are running Arch, as well as the ThinkPad. The final Sempron box is running Ubuntu 6.06.1
    * When I installed K3b I did: pacman -S k3b dvd+rw-tools
    * All the DVD media is Verbatim DataLifePlus ones.
    Here's what I've done...
    I've burnt two DVD media (they're just video files from last year's Blender 2006 conference thing, so its legal stuff).
    One is a DVD+R and the other is DVD-R media. Both were done on a Windows 2000 Pro SP4 box using Nero 6.6.1.4
    What's the problem?
    Well, KDE in the Arch Linux boxes doesn't recognise the media!...There is no DVD icon that automatically pops up on any of the Arch Linux boxes!
    When I run dmesg on the Arch boxes, the only relevant info I get is:
    ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
    ISOFS: changing to secondary root
    Now if I re-insert these DVD media onto an Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS box...The DVD+R works perfectly! While the DVD-R does not.
    When I run dmesg on this box, I get the following:
    [17179654.808000] hdc: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplet e Error }

    If I re-burn the data onto a DVD+RW, Arch and Ubuntu immediately sees it, and KDE (or Gnome in Ubuntu), will have a DVD icon popping up! I can view the video clips without issue!
    Now here's the really odd part...
    When I load up K3b on either Arch OR Ubuntu, they recognise all DVD media! (As in, they can read the media disc information!)...Tools => DiskInfo
    If I click on the PIONEER - DVD-RW DVR-108 on the tree menu on the left side in K3b, (to view the contents of the DVD-R or DVD+R media), it can't read and pops up an error message informing about a read problem. It suggests I try dmesg|tail to see what's wrong.
    When I do that, I get...
    # dmesg|tail
    grow_buffers: requested out-of-range block 18446744073708569376 for device hdc

    UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
    I repeat the same procedure on DVD+RW, and it works perfectly!
    Should I use another burning application instead of Nero on the Windows box?
    Could it be the way I burn things?
    (Some DVD+R and DVD-R are burnt with multisession while others aren't.)
    Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
    What are your "workarounds" or fixes?

    It *should* work...But they don't.
    I tried this...
    mount -t auto /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
    I get this...

    UDF-fs: No partition found (1)

    I get this...

    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dvd,

    dmesg | tail or so
    I then do dmesg|tail
    Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
    If I stick in a DVD-R that is burnt in one go without multisession, I get this in the dmesg

    UDF-fs INFO UDF 0.9.8.1 (2004/29/09) Mounting volume 'SW', timestamp 2006/11/07 19:37 (1000)
    It reads this disc perfectly and KDE pops up a DVD icon.
    I'm scratching my head as I'm not sure what is the problem.
    Could it be hal or the way the DVD media was formatted?

  • Installation via External CD/DVD Drive

    I have tried fruitlessly to install Windows XP and Windows 7 via CD and DVD on my computer via my external CD/DVD drive. It is a LG GE20 Read/Writer. I can however boot the Mac OS X 10.6 Install Disc from it.
    rEFIt recognizes the disc as a valid windows disc (both of them), but when I choose it, I am left with a black screen and blinking white cursor. I tried my linux mint disk, and got the same result. (It's only working with the Mac OS X Install Disc)
    My Macbook Pro 3.1 (aluminum, pre-unibody, Santa Rosa I believe) currently has a broken superdrive, so I've had to use this external. Unfortunately I need Windows installed natively (please do not tell me to use VMWare, VirtualBox or Parallels, I already have VMWare and VirtualBox).
    I also tried to make a bootable USB from my 7 install disc, by formatting as FAT32 in VMWare, and using "convert" on the DOS prompt to make it NTFS. It is shown by NTFS-3g and is completely working. I copied the entire disc's files over as directed by a tutorial, but it does not boot. (It is MBR)
    Any advice would be thoroughly appreciated.

    OWC (macsales.com) is a good place to shop for Mac-centric accessories. They cater to Mac users. They have FireWire external optical drives.
    If you decide to get one later, you may want to send an email to OWC's sales/tech support to ask if their external FireWire drives are bootable. Just because it is FireWire does not necessarily mean you can boot from a particular FireWire optical drive.

  • Trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit - setup.exe fails due to msxml3.dll error PDApp message [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154

    If anyone is able to solve this they are a genius (or I am doing something very stupid!)
    I am trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit PC but setup.exe fails due to a msxml3.dll error.
    Following a big bundle of recent Windows 7 updates, I started getting 'bad image' msxml3.dll error messages when opening any CS5.5 master collection program (Eg Premiere / Photoshop / Illustrator / Dreamweaver). Following advice on some threads here I tried uninstalling and then using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to clean up install, then reinstalling from my original DVD media.
    Whenever I try using run setup.exe from installtion disc 1 the installing fails due to 'Missing files'. I have also tried dowloading trial versions and runing setup.exe fro mthe downloaded files but i still get the same message.
    I have searched the forum and others have experienced this error but none of the solutions I have found seem to be working for me - as many seem to relate to download installations whereas I am installing from original DVD media (which worked fine before on the same PC)
    These are the FATAL messages from the PDApp log
    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154

    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Unable to initialize. Error parsing setup.xml file
    The PDApp troubleshooting seems to indicate that this is caused by error in downloads but I am getting it with both original media DVD and downloads.
    I have also tried using my logon (which has admin privileges) and under our main admin account - and I get the same errors.
    Is a clean install of Windows 7 + CS5.5 my only option?
    Any help / info / advice / solutions very much appreciated! I have spent the last 2 days trying to sort this out and seem to be getting nowhere.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply kglad - much appreciated.
    I have already tried that option (along with downloading files) as it was one of the solutions mentioned on other threads, but that also failed.
    Any other ideas?
