DVD burner for ultrabse- advice needed

I just purchased a Thinkpad x201 with the ultrabase, but didn't realize that the ultrabase didn't come with a DVD burner. I can't seem to locate the right one to purchase on the Lenovo website. Can anyone let me know what model to look for? I need one for backup, music, to play movies, etc. Thanks for your help!

you can get something like this.
It is called serial ultrabay slim dvd multi. (don't get the serial ultrabay enhanced dvd multi as it is too thick, or the ultrabay slimdvd multi since they use a different pata connector as opposed to a sata connector).

Looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

There are plenty of options but I have found that the LaCie d2 http://blu-ray.burnworld.com/burners/lacie-d2.htm works more consistantly. I use Toast 11 mainly for Blu-Ray. The drive does come with a basic verison of the software which is good for most but you need to upgrade to do some serious authoring.

What are the mac-compatible internal/external dvd burner for 12"Pbook

what are the mac-compatible internal/external dvd burner for 12"Pbook

ibodnano:
You will find internal optical drivers from OWC here. You will find external DVD burners from OWC here.
For the external drives, almost any Firewire burner will be supported by your PowerBook. Here are a few. You can further refine the filters.
Good luck.

This new Superdrive also supports DVD-Audio so you can load more music into it than a CD.

Need new battery and DVD burner for T61

Hi,
I need a new battery. Old one has totally died and won't hold a charge.
The burner is a different story. Sometimes it will read discs other times it won't read at all, so I'm thinking it's on its way out. Can someone supply correct part numbers? Do you need the current part numbers of the parts that I have?
Thx
Mark

Hi Mark,
if you have a 14.1" 4:3 standard screen or 15.4" T61, you will need the T60 type battery now commonly referred to as battery 41+ 6-cell or 41++ 9-cell by Lenovo marketing. If you have a 14.1" widescreen T61, you will need battery 33 4-cell, 33+ 6-cell or 33++ 9-cell.
Here is a useful post with some detailed information I shared with someone else facing similar T61 DVD Burner issues: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T61-and-prior-T-series-ThinkPad/optical-drive/m-p/1077041#M67668. As for part numbers, you will some listed in T61 System Service parts here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-67911#16. I.B.M./Lenovo loves to use many different part numbers for the same component based on the different manufacturers and different Thinkpad models. But basically, what you need is the Ultrabay Slim (PATA) type DVD Multi-Burner which fits T61, R61, T60, x60 dock, x61 dock, etc.: ThinkPad DVD Ultrabay Slim Burner - Overview.
If you need, I have all of these parts available, including New and used Genuine Lenovo T61 batteries and DVD Burners at terrific prices. I have sent you a PM with more info. Check you "New" messages at the top of this page
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

Satellite A60: firmware for DVD burner TEAC DV-W24e needed !

Hi guys,
I have a problem with DVD burner TEAC DV-W24e. It has been some time that it is no more able to write any DVD or CD. Today, I checked the firmware and saw that the version is not the good one at all. Could anybody tell me where I could get the last firmware for that DVD burner or could anyone send it to me by e-mail ! It would be great !!!!
Thanks to all and season's greetings.
Ben

I found a firmware update on the Toshiba page in the Satellite A60 area but its only for these drives:
- SD-R2212
- SD-R1312
- SD-R1512
- SD-R2412
- SD-R6112
- SD-R2512
I think you have to Google or to ask the drive manufacture for the right firmware
Nice page:

Howdy! Welcome to the Apple Discussion Boards!
I have a good opinion of LaCie burners. I have had one for over two years now with nary a problem. I used it with a PB G4 12 inch model. It comes bundled with Toast Titanium, which is really good burning software, IMO.
As far as system specs, check out LaCie's website, but I think anything above 10.2 would be supported.

Looking for an DVD burner for my laptop

Hi there,
I'm in the process of looking for a good but cheap DVD Drive that would fit into the laptop HP Pavilion DV7-3188cl. Can anyone please give me some advice?..Any help is greatly appreciated.. Thanks for the help in advance..
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Use your P/N on hp driver site and find the Service Manual and see what it list for OD that it uses and you can then use that to reference what DVD burner drive you can get. And if it is a Sata drive most Newer OD are sata you just have to make sure it is a DVD burner and then swap the faceplate to match the original one.

Free cd/dvd burner for mac os 10.7 - the version i have is roxio toast but in os10.7.5 when i try to open app - it said can't open app because powerpc apps arent supported ?

- the version i have is roxio toast but in os10.7.5 when i try to open app - it said can't open app because powerpc apps arent supported ?
is there a free app download to burn cd/dvd for os10.7?

Depending on what type of CD/DVD you intend to burn, you may not need any 3rd party applications:
- To burn data CDs or DVDs simply insert a blank disc, drag files to the empty FInder window that represents the disc, then click the burn button (I think t appears near the top of the finder window).
- To burn music CDs just use iTunes
- To create disk images from a CD or DVD use Disk Utility. To burn .iso or .cdr images to disc use Disk Utility.
About the only type of disc burning that you may need a 3rd party application for is to create a DVD movie (iDVD used to do this but no longer a supported app). I haven't ever needed anything outside of the built-in capabilities of OS X when it comes to burnig CD or DVD media. One suggestion is to make sure to remove all of the Roxio software so that it doesn't interfere with the built-in OS X capabilities.
Hope this heps.

DVD Burner for i book G4?

Hi,
I have downloaded and edited a film on i movie, and assumed i could burn it onto a DVD. (I bought the computer for i tunes so didn't check out its other programs. Therefore i don't really know whether the computer has a DVD drive installed?) I will put the computer details below so would be grateful if someone could help me not be so stupid! I need to download the movie onto DVD, and if the computer isn't compatible can you explain how, and where i can buy, a seperate DVD burner. Thanks.
i book G4
Powerbook 6.3
C2 cache = 256 KB
Memory = 640 MB
Inbuilt memory = 128 MB
DIMML/J31 = 512 MB DDR SDRAM
Matshita CR-RW CW-8123
Toshiba MK6025GAS
Reads DVD
CR WRITE = -R, -RW
Any help would be great. Thanks

It looks like you only have a DVD reader and not a writer, so will not be able to burn it onto a DVD
I cannot advise on external DVD writers as I have used on

Best New DVD Burner for a G5

My DVD Burner seems to have died and I'm wondering if anyone can advise on best replacement. I'd love to be able to burn DVD 9's.
Thanks

Have you figured out the reason why your computer becomes unstable after having a disk in the drive?
I am having the same exact issue; after having disks in the DVD drive (PLEXTOR DVDR PX-800A:) they will not eject; I've tried using the eject command in the terminal, and using the "Open Superdrive" menu option.
I've also tried ejecting from Disk Utility but that will freeze the application. I can't force quit the Disk Utility application or even relaunch the Finder. The only way around is to go a hard reboot by holding down the power button.
Every time a disk is in the drive I have to force reboot, this is fast becoming a major issue, the computer works flawlessly otherwise.
I've read that it can be anything from bad RAM to a bad MB. Also, one last item to note, not sure if they're related but I tend to think so. When attempting to boot into the Hardware Test startup disk, the computer goes to the little wrist watch and never stops counting the minutes.
This will also occur when using the boot manager to select a start up disk even without the DVD in the drive, so its not limited to the DVD selection. The computer again needs to be rebooted and I have to select a startup disk from the startup preference pane. Of course the Hardware Test disk does not show as a startup option.
So, this is more than just an eject DVD issue, sounds more complicated than that. Also, just thought I'd mention the drive has been installed for over a year without issue, so its not due to a new piece of hardware.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dual Layer DVD Burner for Mac OS 9

I always figured that the 1 hour burn limit imposed by iDVD was done intentionally to help sell DVD Studio Pro. Now having bought a copy of DVD Studio, I find that the limitation is actually imposed by the number of layers a burner is capable of writing.
My research leads me to believe that Apple released a dual layer burner for the MacBook but no mention of its comaptibility for other models.
So is there a dual layer burner available for other model Macs and equally important will it work with Mac OS 9.2.2?

Funny, the link provided and researched before posting here does show
the MCE drive* to fully support Apple software without Roxio and has a
30 day guarantee if for any reason (including no evidence of failure)
they will replace or refund your money. Less installation fees, if any.
The primary issue, from your perspective, is the need to run OS 9.2.2
and presumably boot native and burn with it. Otherwise, the product
will perform as indicated in their write-up.
{A call to Other World Computing is recommended, to see if they have
or know of a hardware replacement for what you specifically need.}
What they do say, in several places, indicating proper interface with
the Mac OS X system and applications, is:
*An MCE Exclusive (10.4+ required)
iLife '05+
Seamless integration with iLife, Mac OS X
The MCE 16X Internal SuperDrive Upgrade with Double Layer support is seamlessly compatible
with all of Apple's iApps including iTunes, iDVD, and iPhoto. In addition, it is compatible with Finder
Burning and DVD Studio Pro, Apple's professional DVD Authoring software.
These are often a choice for replacement hardware in out-of-warranty units.
And they often supersede the earlier hardware they replace, or match many
specs in new environments, depending on what product application's compared.
The earlier link to search results and product info direct from quality vendor sources
is a recommended path; call the actual company (note names of duration in resale)
or contact a regional or local parts vendor or authorized Apple repair center.
MCE's product, as listed, will do the job in OS X. It may work with Classic9 under X.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can i use mac mini as external dvd burner for my ibook?

i was wondering if i could hook up my dad's mac mini to my ibook in target disk mode to my ibook and if that would allow me to use his mac mini as an external dvd burner. if anyone knows if this would work or how to do it, let me know, thanks

Yes and no. You cannot connect the mini to your notebook and use its drive as if it were an external drive. But you can transfer data from your notebook to the mini and then burn the DVD. And, if you can set up a VNC (that's what Leopard screen sharing is) you could even control the mini from your notebook. Not as transparent a process as having an external burner. And, considering the low prices these days, if you really need to burn DVDs rather frequently, buying an inexpensive DVD burner is going to be more convenient.

Best dvd burner for Mac mini

What brand of DVD burner is most compatible with the Mac Mini? I haven't found one that specifically lists Mac OS in the specifications information.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Many brands are compatible, including Pioneer for example, but for the Mac mini, I'd start with http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/mac-mini/superdrive/ for internal and http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/optical-drives/ for externals. Of the latter, http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MRBFWU2D112/ would be my own choice for DVD burner at reasonable price.
This supplier specializes in Mac peripherals, and these devices will certainly work. There are other suppliers and other brands of course, but the above is a good place to start.

Rate SONY 820 UL/T DVD burner for burning iMovies-what's better?

I have an iMac G5 with internal CD burner, but not DVD burner. I do have the iDVD and iMovie software--so I installed this external driver to burn iMovie projects and after hours of messing around with my blessed iMac G5 and mystified SONY support techs finally learned it won't burn iMovie or Quicktime movies with Mac software bundle it comes with (Roxio Toast Lite 6..) Should I send back driver and get something else, or stick with it and upgrade to Toast 7? I am frustrated since the Sony/Mac software bundle leads you to believe you CAN burn your videos.

Hello Artcart,
the main difference between iDVD and Toast is, that iDVD is primarily an authoring software (it authors the structure of the DVD with possibility of multiple menus, movies/slideshows) while Toast is a disc burning app ( with the possibility of encoding movies for DVD).
If you look through the iDVD discussion board you'll find that most users adopt the "divide and conquer" method:
1. Author the DVD in iDVD because it gives you more choices for menus etc.
2. Create a disk image (a file that behaves like a DVD, but is stored on your HDD)
3. Burn the image file to DVD with Toast (more reliable for burning)
I should be able to select/drag my (NTSC formatted) iMovie project into Toast and the SONY drive will indeed burn a nice DVD for me?
Absolutely. Toast does the encoding, but offers you only a very simple menu (start-up screen). if that is sufficient for you, you can do without iDVD.
To add this: I've been using an external LaCie burner for the last 2 years to create DVDs for a living, and have had a very low failure rate .... no worries
I am not sure what "menu" selection you mean--the "play" title menues offered in iDVD?
Yep.
hope this helps
