DVD Burner not found
I have recently installed a new DVD burner on my PC however when I tried to burn a DVD from Premier Elements it states that the burner is not found.
I have however been able to burn a disc when using AVCHD as it finds the burner.
The drop down for the find burner location is alos blank and not letting me find the drive.
Does anyone have any suggestions as top what I can do to get the dvd recognised.

This is now the 4th old post (this time only 1 year old instead of 3 to 4 like the others) in which you are sharing the same generalized report on what worked for you with a burner recognition problem. In each of your other threads that I am finding, I am asking for the following same supplemental information from you, information which I feel is important to your shared content. So, I repeat
endfates
What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running?
With what type of burner are you working where you had this burner not recognized issue - Blu-ray/DVD/CD or just DVD/CD?
What specific video codecs did you find it necessary to install beyond what was provided for by the program, QuickTime, Windows Media Player,
and the usual assortment of players?
Besides "burner not recognized", did you have any "media not present" issues as well?
This information would be important since there is a 4 year gap between since the last entry in this thread (2010) and your post in this thread
tonight (2014).
Thank you.

Again, I point out that there are negative as well as positive aspects to the try this and try that "codecs". That is why I feel the requested information is important to the serial generalized messages that you are posting one after the other tonight in 1 to 4 year old threads.

Windows 7 install stops at "CD/DVD driver not found"
When trying to install Windows 7 with boot camp, all goes well until it stops and gives me the "CD/DVD driver not found". I have a mid 2010 Mac Pro with a 500 GB SSD drive. I have burned a DVD at 1X from a iso file.
ThanksCan you verify the MD5/SHA1 of the DVD with the ISO using OS X 'openssl md5' or the M$ FCIV tool? The source of your ISO should be able to provide MD5/SHA1.

Disc Burner Not Found Windows Vista
Im getting disc burner not found or burning software not found with iTunes 7.2 using Windows Vista x64
It worked fine in Windows XP!
I use a Sony DRU-810A with latest 1.0f firmware.
Please fix this Apple this is annoying, it worked in XP!Im getting disc burner not found or burning software not found with iTunes 7.2 using Windows Vista x64
the x64 thing may be the key to this.
check your DVD/CD diagnostics. (in iTunes, go "help > run diagnostics" and select DVD/CD diagnostics.) do you see error 2380 showing up next to the CD or DVD drives in the diagnostics?
if so, try reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for importing and burning. the GEAR drivers are available from the following page. (note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit drivers, so be sure to get the version that matches your hardware):

When trying to burn my playlist, I keep getting error message saying cd/dvd software not found.. I've tried uninstalling and installing itunes over and over.. and I still get the same message . I can burn in Windows media player but not in itunes. Please help!
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. (Use your Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste.) -
"Disk Burner Not Found..." My turn -
Or, "When does the Help Reply 72 hour response start?"
First of all, thank you, and you know who you are, for the fix to the Burner Not Found issue. This little rant is simply to help others who will have the same problem as I.
Im brand new to iPods and the like, and it was the Nano that got me hooked very impressive. I also was very impressed with iTunes too.
After I imported all my CDs I decided to burn backup some DVDs mostly cause I could. And I was able to, well at least three of them. Then, admittedly for reasons I dont recall, I did a firmware update for my DVD (and yes, I got the right one).
Thats when iTunes started to give me the Disk Burner or Software Not Found error. What seemed odd to me was that I could still Import a CD, in the Preferences - Advanced - Burning tab, the disk burner iTunes couldnt find was listed. And, with other software, burning a disk worked just fine.
I did as many as you did, I removed iTunes (saving my music under a different name, and location), reinstalled iTunes with the same results.
Finally, I found you good people, and read the fix, well part of the fix. I tried putting my burner in the first Asus grouping I found the in gcdoem.cfg that didnt work, so I did as someone else here did, I put it in every grouping I found that already had an Asus burner listed which worked.
So, thank you.
Oh, then the funny part. When I restarted iTunes, I got this message Could not find your preferred Disk Burner. Ok to use E: ASUS DRW-1608P (ATAE:) instead?
Ah, my preferred burner? that would be the only one I have
Phat
p.s. Could someone explain to me, why in the config file, almost every grouping of burners calls the same dll?
Weird.Hey Phat
This seems to be the same problem I've got and exactly the same burner. But when I add the entries to gcdoem.cfg I still have the same problem. Could you show me exactly the entries you added just incase I've done it wrong. -
Hmm. My internal burner has worked fine in past but today i get a "burner not found" error in all of my burning softwares. I clearly have one, but it is not recognized today. any ideas why?

I have a Powerbook G4 12"--has always worked without problem.
However, this am tried to play DVD--got the error message "valid DVD drive not found". No driver seen in system profiler.
There is no CD or DVD stuck.
Have gone through the workarounds suggested in discussions--open firmware ejects etc...
Has anyone found a solution other than paying $500 to replace the drive?
Many thanksFirst see if the issue is user or system related. Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts and add an administrator account, and log into it after logging out from the Apple menu.
If that doesn't work, try locating a preference in the System/Library or Hard Drive -> Library for com.apple.dvdplayer and removing it. Same for cache files.
If it still doesn't work, try VideoLan Client:

DVD burner not recognized in Leopard by iDVD 7.0.1
Not exactly the same problem I found in my searches, so made a new topic.
Setup: G4 tower, dual Giga Design 1.8 GHZ, 1.5 MB RAM, Pioneer 109 burner.
System Profiler shows ability to burner everything including +r DL.
I had to use a 3rd party hack to get iMovie 7.1 installed. Leopard did not recognize my 1.8 processor as legitimate. It would recognize it if downgraded to 1.7 GHZ, but I chose not to do so. iMovie 7.1 (iLife 08) now launches and works, but I used iMovie HD to make this project.
1. I have burned other DVDs in Leopard with this DVD burner successfully, including a usable (proven) backup of my Tiger and Leopard DVDs, both DL.
2. I have over 100 GB space available on my Startup drive as well as 80 GB on another internal drive that is storing the iMovie project. The imovie project in question is 15 GB.
3. After creating the project in iMovie HD, I exported ("shared") to iDVD 7.0.1, chose a built-in theme and started the burn process. All was going well, so I went to bed. G4 set never to sleep for this project.
4. Next AM found that "error - .... disk not burned due to burner not recognized (error xxxxx). Didn't get the exact error number, but the iDVD project, when saved to Desktop was only 137 MB. The iMovie HD project is 15 GB, so iDVD should have created a project about 3 + GB.
5. Have NOT tried Apple Hardware test. Doesn't make sense to do so when the burner works fine in Leopard for other projects.
Is this problem due to iDVD 7.0.1 failing to be compatible with my G4 configuration like iMovie 7.1? Got no warning when installing or launching iDVD from iLife 08.
Any suggestions? I hope I've given enough useful info.
Incidentally, I'm not in a corner, as I copied the iMovie Hd project to a fW drive, and then used iDVD 7.0.1 on my MB Core Duo to render and burn it. Just want to find out what the problem is with my G4.I'll try that. It may work as it is not iDVD making the determination if the optical drive is "qualified" but DU. As I said in my original post, I have burned DVDs in this internal burner using Leopard and a Finder Burn Folder. It is only iDVD that is between me and success.
I did manage to get the iMovie HD project burned using iDVD 7 on my Intel iMac. I will try editing another iMovie HD project, exporting to iDVD7, and saving as a disk image to a FW drive. I will report back the results, but it may be a day or two before that happens.
I should also probably try the same routine that failed on the chance that it was just a fluke. -
New DVD burner not working w/iTunes
Okay, I've been working on this and digging through these forums for awhile now. I'm still stumped. So here we go:
I had a new DVD burner installed. I'm using Nero software which works fine for DVD, data, etc. However, iTunes gives me the "disc burner or software not found" message if I try to burn a disc from iTunes.
I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes (yes, latest version) twice now. No go.
In edit>preferences>advanced>burning CD burner: still shows the old CD-RW.
iTunes will recognize and play prerecorded CDs and ask if I want to import them.
In help>diagnostics>CD/DVD drive tests, after putting in a prerecorded CD as requested: Optical drive detected IS the correct device (D: ASUS DRW-1814BL) BUT I get a red dot with "no audio CD found" yet the songs are showing in the device window (in actual iTunes behind the diagnostic window).

DVD burning not working after upgrading to 10.5.1
Hi,
I just purchased a macbook and found that dvd burning stopped working after upgrading to mac os 10.5.1. I went back to 10.5 and now it works without problems. Since so far I haven't experience problems with 10.5, I will continue using it.
Anyway, I just wanted to let other users know about this problem. I didn't find any references about it in the forum.
Best wishes,
ManuelHi,
I just got DVD burning to work under 10.5.1. I had originally formatted the OS-X partition as "case sensitive". Today I reformatted the partition as a regular Mac-os journaled partition, re-installed leopard and the upgrade, and now DVD burning works fine. I am not 100% sure, but it seems that using the case sensitive format caused the problem.

When I try to burn disks on iTunes, I recieve the message "Disk Burner or software not found..." I have installed the latest version of iTunes.
Any suggestions on what I should do?
Dell Windows XPI also have the same issue, however, I am Running the release Version of Vista x64.
here's my hardware info:

1 IDE DVD +/- RW Drive - NEC ND-3550A
ATI All In Wonder 2006
I also have Nero Ulta 7 Installed, and it sees both RW drives and works fine with them.
Here's my diagnostics page (I realize Vista x64 may be the main reason, my question is how long before an official Vista ready version of iTunes will be available, and then when will an x64 official version be available?)

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

HP DVD burner not compatible?
I recently purchased the HP Dvd Writer 635i from someone on ebay who said it is mac compatible. HP however, says it is not mac compatible (as I recently found out). My computer recognizes it as a reader, but not a writable drive!!!
Do you know of any place I could get a 3rd party driver for it, or any other way I can get this drive to work? I do not have a copy of Toast, but it seems that it's a hardware/driver problem more than anything...?
I run OS 10.3.9 on my 400mhz gigabit ethernet G4
