Dm4-3050us - can the DVD burn DL discs?

I can't seem to verify if the DVD drive will burn DL discs, as there's no logo on the drive housing. Can anyone verify this?
Or is "SuperMulti DVD burner" spec'd out somewhere?
Thanks!

Hm, still not sure - the service manual from the dm4-3050us "manuals" webpage refers to a slot-load optical drive (PDF page 10/120). This is clearly wrong as this laptop has the tray-eject-style drive.

So now I guess I'll just grab a DL disc and try to burn 5+GB of data onto it...

Can I remove the dvd burner and replace it with a secondary bay hard disk?

Hi,
Yes you can, you need something like this to hold the HDD (or SSD):

How to convert MP4 movie to dvd burn ready disc image?

I have a 15 minute MP4 movie (640x480, non-copy protected) that I'd like to save as a dvd burn-ready disc image. (This was a photo slideshow that a friend made into a movie on OneTrue Media. I don't want to add anything else to it, no chapters, additional files etc -- just save as a disc image that can be posted on my idisk public site for a few friends to download and burn to dvd if they wish). How can I do this the easiest way with iDVD?

Welcome to the forums.
You're almost there. Pull the video into iDVD (mp4 isn't the best format for DVD conversion but it should work) and use the Save As Disc Image command to create your image file (set preferences to Best Performance first).

How to identify which applicarion is using the DVD burner?

How to identify which applicarion is using the DVD burner? Ot is not allow me to burn the DVDs genetrated in the Final Cut 7

I think you'll find that the application is Final Cut Pro... the message is bug. I get a similar message when disconnecting external drives after using them with FCP (even when the project is no longer loaded.)
As I mentioned above, the accepted workflow is to export the sequence to one of your hard drives using the Export>QuickTime Movie path with Settings:Current Settings and Make Movie Self-Contained checked like this:
This gets you a high quality "master copy" which you open in Compressor for transcoding. You should use the DVD: Best Quality setting for the duration of your movie.
this gets you the high quality MPEG-2 and AC-3 files for DVD Studio Pro authoring.
If you've never used DVD Studio Pro before, you can use iDVD instead. For iDVD, you just drag and drop your "master" on iDVD and it takes it from there. Both make a very professional product.
hope this helps.

The DVD burner will not open

The DVD burner will not open. I bought a DDV cleaner with the tiny brush, but it will not open for me to get the disc in!

Hello Klaus,
It is the built in Superdrive.

HP dv7 notebook PC does not recognise the dvd burner.

HP dv7 notebook with win7 64bit does not recognise the dvd burner.A diagnostic check says the dvd is working but it cannot play or burn CDs,DVDs as the DVD does not appear with the other HDs in the computer window.Can anyone help?

Hi,
It's possible that this is a hardware issue with the optical drive itself, but try running automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Check if the drive is now working.
If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
Regards,
DP-K

Premiere elements does not recognize Blu-Ray disc, says media not present. Under 12 I was able to record 3 blu-ray dvds using the same burner and discs I'm trying with 13. What is the problem?

I installed PE13 and cannot burn blu-ray DVDs. I was able to burn 3 blu-ray DVDs using PE12. When I select DVD from the menu it recogniazes that it is not a stadard DVD as I get an 'incorrect media' error message. It will burn standard DVDs of the same video using standard DVD mefia.
What is going on here?
When I loaded PE 12 back on the computer I cannot load a file created with PE13. Looks like a format change? Can I convert file back to PE12?

Juergen

Look to Burn To: in the Burn Dialog, and scroll down there to the option that you want.
Please let me know if this ISO Image choice is going to work for you. But I will keeping searching for the answer to these no media present situations.

I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago. Since then I can no longer burn MP3 Discs with Title and Artist Info. Sometimes it only burns every 3rd song. No Audio CD it seems to function OK. The version has the "cloud" but I don't know if that matters or

I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago. I can no longer burn MP3 Disk with Song/Artist info onto disc. It comes up as No Artist/No Title on car CD unit. Old MP3 Disk previously recorded still show all info. Sometimes only every 3rd song is on the MP3 CD. On Audio Disc there is no change and all info still shows up. The new I-Tunes version has the "cloud" on it if that could make a difference. In the select Burn CD mode I can select testing and add song info for Audio Disk but it shows shadowed out for MP3/Data. I added and removed ID tagging from my list to see if that made a difference but it didn't.
Any Thoughts?

This may help. Audio files are actaully in the DATA folder. These can be editted with Soundbooth then they must be imported intot the specific slide in the Powerpoint presentation. Publish the presentation (as you'll read below) and *should* work This reply came from robva65 [email protected]
Let's try this: *Publish* the PPT deck you have. What you'll end up with is a set of files and folders, but I want you to look for the *data folder* that's created as a result of the publishing process. (Unless you specify where you're publishing to, Presenter will publish to a directory called "My Adobe Presentations" by default, so you may have to look there on your harddrive) Inside the data folder will be a list of mp3 files, which, if everything goes smoothly, should make it much, much easier to see which audio is used by a specific slide.
Here's what I mean: for example, after publishing, I have a data folder and inside I found the following file: a24x9x3.mp3 As I double click the mp3 file (which causes it to play using Windows Media on my laptop), I can hear that it corresponds to my slide 9 in my PPT deck. And there's corresponding mp3 files for each and every slide I have in my deck. I'm clicking another file (wouldn't it be nice to see what I'm doing???) a24x20x3.mp3, and that file corresponds to my slide 20 content in PowerPoint.
So again, give publishing in PowerPoint a shot and see if that makes it any easier. Well...not nearly as easy as recording in Audition/Soundbooth/Audacity, but it's close enough to hopefully dig you out of that hole you're in now.
Hope this helps ~rich

I have made several iMovies. Can the DVD be converted or Burned to view on regular tv?

I have made several iMovies of family. Can these DVD's be converted or Burned so that they can be viewed on regular tv?

Hi
There are two kinds of DVDs that You can burn on Your Mac
• Data-DVD - DVD is on deskTop/Finder and You put files on it - This will not play on ANY DVD-Player at all. It's a Data-DVD
• Video-DVD - Here You use iDVD or other DVD encoding program and add movies, photos and audio then when iDVD ask You to - Insert a new blanc DVD - Now iDVD will encode and burn material to this to result in a Video-DVD that should play on most DVD-Players
So dragging material to the DVD indicates - wrong way to do it.
In iMovie - Do not use Share to iDVD but "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (Not HD or other res. as quality will drop)
In iDVD import movie/s from Media button / Movies. (Do not go back to iMovie/FinalCut as this will trigger iDVD to set of the iDVD-BUG when returned here. If You must! Then start a brand new iDVD project.)
Yours Bengt W

Are there any plans to update OS 10.4.11 to include a firmware update for the DVD drive? Or has it already been changed in Leopard?
Depending on what model of Superdrive you have, there may be a firmware update from the manufacturer, just not from Apple. Updating to the latest firmware from the manufacturer often provides for better media compatibility, faster burn speeds, and sometimes even features that were disabled by Apple's version of the firmware.
DVD-R DL discs have one major drawback if you're using them to burn video DVDs - you have no control over where the layer break is placed. The first layer must always be filled completely before any data is written to the second layer. DVD+R DL does not have this limitation. You can place the layer break anywhere you like, just as long as the first layer is more full than the second.

Can A DVD Burner Connected By USB 2.0 Install Leopard/SL ?

I am contemplating getting an external DVD drive to relieve the workload on my internal one.
I would also like it to be capable of working with an installation DVD in the event of my computer's DVD burner failing when I wanted to upgrade the OS in the future.
I know that a FireWire connected burner can do this, but can a USB 2.0 also do it?

yes. a USB external DVD drive will work with any intel mac and let you boot from the SL install disk.

Will the dvd burn a DL dvd

Will the dvd player/burner in my IMAC burn DL DVD`s

Depends on your model. Click on about this Mac under the Apple, then on more info. Click on System Profiler (I believe that's what it says in Snow Leopard) or System Report in ML and see what it says under Disc Burning.
