DualDisc not recognized by DVD Drive

Presently, I can't get the CD-Audio side of a dualdisc to respond in my DVD drive in my dual G-5. I can use Itunes on my PC to rip the audio, but since my collection is primarily on my Mac, I'd prefer to do it there.
Any thoughts?

Hi--
The whole next generation audio thing is frustrating
in general, tell the truth. If I had my way, it'd be
SACD all the way anyway
I think I'd agree on that, though I have one SACD dual-layer that won't work in the CD player in one of my cars. It just skips like mad. But it's fine in all my other CD players.
Forgoing album art and easy mac-compatibility, I
still prefer to have enhanced resolution audio or
multichannel when I can. ***** sometimes to be on
the bleeding edge.
It's not just Macs that have problems with the DualDisc, though. I've heard of car stereos having problems, along with some PCs as well. I have an old FireWire CD drive I've found works pretty well for the DualDiscs. And I've had pretty good luck with two different PowerBooks. Not with an iMac G5, though.

  • Mac Pro not recognizing bootable DVDs and Disk Utility giving odd results.

    My issue is complex, but I'll try my best to explain it as I can.
    One has been resolved it seems, but I am including it so that the whole issue can be seen in context.
    Friday, May 16, 2014
    Last night, after rebooting my Mac Pro from my Bootcamp partition (I'm using Windows 7 Professional if that information is helpful) I received a kernel panic upon Mac OS X booting (Mac OS X 10.6.8).
    My first action was to launch Disk Utility to verify the Mac HD, verify was stopped by disk utility citing that I should insert my Mac OS X install DVD and repair the disk.
    I tried booting from my Snow Leopard install DVD. After the grey Apple logo appeared with the gear spinning below it remained for roughly ten to fifteen seconds (a little long) — then the Apple logo changed to. A grey prohibitory sign (circle with a diagonal line through it, the spinning gear remained. — I tried booting from the Snow Leopard DVD a few time, same result.
    Following this I tried booting using Disk Warrior, same result again.
    I tried booting both the Snow Leopard and Disk Warrior DVDs in both my upper and lower optical drives, with no change.
    I decided to leave the issue and call Apple Support in the morning
    Saturday, May 17, 2014
    This morning I woke my Mac Pro from sleep, opened Disk Utility and tried verifying the hard drive to see if it was temporary — same result, 'please insert the Mac OS X install DVD and repair the drive.' — I also tried booting the install DVD again with no result.
    I then booted my Mac into Safe Mode to check my hardware.
    Upon opening Disk Utility and verifying my Mac HD — the result "Macintosh HD appears to be OK", rand the test again to see if this was an anomaly, but disk returned another pass.
    I performed a normal restart of my system, although Finder was a little slower to load than normal, the system booted correctly. — I then launched Disk Utility and verified the Mac HD, it returned another pass.
    This confused me, after a call to Apple Support the tech explained that 'sometime a Safe Mode boot will fix problems because it disables all non-essential processes when booting. — That makes sense to me.
    However.
    The issue of my Mac not recognizing bootable DVDs remains — it reads disks correctly, it just will not boot them.
    Other steps I have taken to try and resolve this remaining issue.
    1. a PRAM reset. — No change.
    2. an SMC reset. — No change.
    3. Removal of newly installed RAM. — I have tried both running the old and new RAM separately, no change using either combination.
    4. Running bootable DVDs in different optical bays. — No change from both bays.
    a. My upper drive is an MCE Blu-Ray/DVD combo drive, but I have booted from this drive before. (Less than six months old.)
    b. My lower drive is LG DVD-RAM combo drive, I have also booted from this drive before. (Over one year old, replacement for an Apple optical drive.)
    None of the above steps have helped, I still cannot boot from my optical drives — I always receive a prohibitory sign shortly after the Apple logo.
    Other system information:
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    8GB of RAM (4 x 2GB)
    500GB Western Digital Caviar Blue HDD (less than a year old, boot drive for Mac OS X 10.6.8)
    1TB Samsung HDD (for data storage and also containing Bootcamp partition)
    2TB HDD (cannot remember manufacturer, contains Time Machine backups, as well as data storage)
    ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB of VRAM
    Sorry for the long post but I really need to be able to boot from my optical drives.

    Update: found an old Mountain Lion installation USB flash drive I created a while back.
    I am able to boot from the ML USB flash drive, but am still unable to boot from my either my Snow Leopard Install DVD or my Disk Warrior DVD. — I have verified both DVD and they pass verification tests.
    This leads me to believe that the problem resides either in the Mac, or in BOTH  the Snow Leopard and Disk Warrior DVDs.
    Since I am able to boot from a USB drive, I will look into the possibility of creating a bootable Snow Leopard drive, and perhaps also a Disk Warrior drive — at least until I can resolve the 'not able to boot from DVD' issue.

  • K9N2 Diamond Not Recognizing SATA DVD Rom

    I just though I would try to post here to see if anyone had any ideas as to what might be the cause or if I should just RMA the board and hope it gets resolved.
    To sum it up I have a PC that doesn't always like to reboot (not a problem really as I don't like to reboot it except for when getting updates) and will not recognize the DVD drive plugged into the SATA ports.  Originally I thought it may have just been a flaky optical drive as it worked long enough for me to get the OS installed and everything set up back in late June early July.  However for some reason Windows XP Pro x64 and the BIOS stopped recognizing the optical drive.  Since I thought it might have just been a flaky drive I didn't worry about it too much as I had everything set up - was just annoying that I couldn't watch DVDs (but I could just go to the other room to do that so not biggie).  On Saturday I bought a new DVD drive (one that could play Blue Ray disks figuring since I have my monitor hooked up through an HDMI cable why not also have the capability to play Blue Ray disks) and the same problem exists.  The BIOS will on a rare occasion actually recognize the DVD drive however as soon as it reboots again it will not and even when it did recognize the DVD drive by the time Windows loaded up it didn't pick up on it.
    I have tried all four SATA ports in combination with my SATA hard drive (and alternating between six different SATA cables too) but a vast majority of the time if I have both the hard drive and DVD drive plugged in the PC will not boot up - it just seems to hang (and sometimes doesn't want to let me into the BIOS).

    I haven't tested with a third DVD drive simply because I don't have a third :(
    The original DVD drive (an OEM Sony Optiarc Beige 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD/CD Rewritable Drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118033) was what was being used while I was installing everything and was the drive that I was noticing wasn't always showing up in Windows Explorer (well more often than not wasn't appearing, but it seemed to last long enough to get all the initial installations done and I really don't used the ROMs much past that).  At the time I thought it might have been that the drive just went flaky and ignored it because I didn't use it. 
    The odd thing was it was also causing headaches when restarts were required for the same reason - the PC would freeze up on the motherboard splash screen (lack of a better term presently) where it normally does the POST tests (I think I am remembering that correctly .... when all the beeps takes place) so I unhooked the SATA connection to the motherboard for the drive and then the PC would actually reboot normally without the hanging.  This made me also think it was the drive causing problems.
    I've been running without any optical drive hooked up for a couple months now, but with getting my copy of Windows 7 I was getting ready to install that and picked up what I thought was the needed fix in a new DVD drive however when hooking it up the same problem started up again.  This time when trying to figure out a setting that actually worked I rotated through all six of my SATA cables (motherboard came with extras ) and rotated them through all four normal SATA slots.  Well actually I tied all six slots but it didn't seem like the BIOS wanted to pick up on slots five or six (the E-SATA if I recall correctly) as having devices (when I had the HDD and DVD Drive in slots five and six it said it couldn't find a bootable device).
    I'm at work now so I can't double check in the BIOS but I am pretty sure it is just set for SATA since I don't use RAID or AHCI - I'll check again on this when I get home though.
    The oddest thing about the whole thing (to me at least) is the lack of consistency with the BIOS recognizing the devices (well the DVD drive anyways).  I would have thought that if it recognized the device (which it has from time to time) that it would keep on recognizing it, but it seems to want to forget that it did recognize it even after it did by the time Windows loads up. 
    It does not seem to have any problems when only the SATA HDD is hooked up though. 
    If it really is the MB being flaky I think I would only have four options:
    1)  Buy a SATA PCI controller card and see if I can get things up and running that way - though this wouldn't solve the problem if the motherboard is flaking out and not 100% sure what it would do for installing new OS quite yet .... not to mention be a little odd when there are 5 other open SATA ports on the motherboard)
    2)  RMA the motherboard and hope a replacement/fix can be made and be without a PC for the duration
    3)  Not upgrade to Windows 7 and sit on that upgrade till whenever and also have a new expensive paperweight (if I take the ROM out of the PC)
    4)  Get a new MB .... really don't want to pick this one since I built the thing tail end of June/beginning of July (just was slowly ordering the parts for longer than that .... I really need to stop doing that - kills possible return chances)
    Of course I can also hope it is something else that I am just missing and that none of those are needed.  I actually built my setup based on what a friend of mine has since his is/was pretty solid.

  • Aio Remote: PDFs not recognized by Google drive.

    Aio Remote on iPad Air2 iOS 8.1.1 - I created a PDF on my iPad from my HP Envy 7640 using Aio remote app. In the files/document section it's there (3 pages) as a PDF. But when I upload a copy from Aio Remote to Google Drive it's not recognized by Google Drive as a PDF even though it has a PDF extention. I have other PDF files stored in Google drive that are perfectly fine. It must be something in your app that is the problem.

    More info: if I send it from Aio remote as an email attachment to myself I get a PDF that I can upload to Google drive and Google drive reconizes it as a PDF. again proving it is Aio remote that is doing some thing wrong when uploading to Google Drive.

  • We do not have a dvd drive. how do we install the photoshop software?

    I would like to install but do not have a dvd drive. how do we that?

    There is no macbook of any vintage that doesn't have a dvd drive if it has any kind of optical drive, but you can always install the trial and enter your serial number into that. You will lose the special link to uploading to costco if you do it that way, though.
    What makes you think your mac can't read a dvd?

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive in my dv9925nr

    Windows will not recognize my dvd drive in Windows 7. It shows up under device manager under cd drives, but will not list in in my computer and will not recognize it as a drive in burning applications.

    I haven't installed and started testing the BETA yet, just downloading from MS tonight.I would suspect upper & lower filters,since that is the most common cause of cd/dvd problems from XP-Vista.

    OS X Disk Utility not recognizing Seagate 3TB drive in dock
    Been scouring the webs and can't quite figure this one out.
    I just purchased a Seagate 3TB drive intending on using it for Backup.
    Ended up plugging it into a dock and couldn't get it to show up in Disk Utility..
    Interesting enough, I plugged this into an HP laptop and it displays just fine.
    Anyone know the solution?

  • HT1583 After the Burn, I tried to play the DVD on my iMac, but will not recognized the DVD.  It worked on my DVD player connected to my TV.  First time it happened. ok.

    After  completing the Burn process, I tried to play the same DVD to the same computer, but did not recognized the DVD media.  It worked ok on the DVD player connected to my TV.  I've been burning DVD for a quite a awhile, this is the first time it happened.

    Hi
    This usually depends on
    • BURN SPEED - not set down to x2 or max x4 - BEST IS N OT BEST - it gives max burn errors = BAD DVD
    • Brand of DVD used - MeMorex, NoName etc are known problem makers - I only use Verbatim
    • Type of DVD used - DVD+/-RW and DVD+R and DL-DVDs - can give a variety of problems - I only use SL-DVD-R
    • Low free space on the Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - also gives bad result
    - interlaced SD-Material (as on old CRT-TV (tube)) - I never go less than 25Gb
    - HD-material - then 4 - 5 times more seems to be a good safe minimum.
