DVD burning issues after Leopard

I used to successfully burn DVD's all the time before I upgraded to Leopard and now I can't get said "burned" DVD's to play and in some cases, to even burn. I burned video DVD's two ways, by copying the VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS folders onto a blank DVD, in Finder, or with Toast, by also dragging the same folders and copying as data. Both worked ALL THE TIME. Now, when I copy the folders onto an empty DVD and selecting burn (and successfully burning), I get the following message when I attempt to play (using DVD Player): "Supported disc not available". Commercial DVD players won't play it at all (won't even recognize, in fact). Toast says before it even begins to burn, "cannot determine empty space." I've tried numerous DVD media, Ridata, Maxell, Memorex, but not iMation or Verbatim (always burn DVD-R's, btw), although I'm sure that previous to Leopard, I could use just about any media and be successful at burning DVD's. I can burn data onto DVD's no prob., it's just not video. This is the superdrive in my machine: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846: It does work, plays commercial DVD's and DVD's I burned when Tiger was my OS. Should I try iMation or Verbatim? Should I buy an external DVD drive? I've used a DVD cleaner, too, btw. Experts, any ideas? Thank you!

  • Is there any work-around in Mavericks for DVD burning issue's

    Ever since I installed the updated OX I get errors and problems burning disc's ( with my external Sony and OWC DVD burner's. Sometime's it freezes in the middle of burning and other times it hangs by the verification process. Even using Apple's own internal burner give's me these issue's. Even aborting the burn after it hangs is problematic. I usually have to turn off the burner and then on again and eject the disc . I use the latest version of Toast but have tried with Mac's own burning option. It makes no difference, both ways aren't working for me. In Bootcamp while trying to burn (on PC) side. The computer keeps crashing. I have had this experiance on my iMac and Mac Book Pro both early 2011.

    Hi Pavan,
    I am assuming you want to persist some intermediate values from a process XSLT invocation to another process XSLT invocation in BPEL.
    An approach to persist variables in XSLT could be to persist them the target variable itself (in an optional section):
    <li>This can be achieved by having an additional root element and mandatory element (say, data), having the actual schema and an optional complex type element (say, parameters, which would in turn consist of 2 elements name and value and maybe, if needed, type) attached to both the source and target schemas.
    <li>whatever variable you would want to persist, you can append it in the XSLT to the target variable,as children of parameters node.
    <li>Whenever, you want to invoke a partner link, you can have an assignment before invoking, which would assign the actual schema data (from element data) to the input variable of the invoke.
    As there is no inbuilt solution for this, things could get messy.
    Regards,
    Shanmu.

  • Can someone help me with a DVD burner issue on an HP Pavillion dv6700 series laptop?

    Hello all. I have a HP Pavillion dv6700 laptop with a pioneer dvd rw k17b internal DVD burner drive. I recently have been experiencing issues with burning DVDs. It is saying that my burn speed is too low or the DVD is not compatible with the write speed of the burner and will not burn anything. I didn't have this problem until recently and it burned other DVDs fine until then. I have tried numerous brands of DVDs and none of them seem to work. I have also noticed that only the write speed of 2.4x shows in the drop down menu now...it had other options before. I have looked for firmware updates for the DVD burner and there isn't any. I have also checked device manager to make sure DMA was enabled and even tried uninstalling the driver and allowing windows to reinstall it upon reboot. I am running windows 7 operating system and have no clue what has happened to keep me from burning at a higher speed. I have also tried different burning software programs to see if I can get around it...no luck that way either. What has happened and how can I fix this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

  • Anybody have DVD Player issues after 10.7.3 upgrade?

    Aloha everyone,
    I upgraded both my iMac and MacBook Pro to 10.7.3 (I used the combo updater) like any dutiful Apple customer, as I've never had an issue with an upgrade (I made the switch in 2006, so I don't have that much history here).  I didn't notice this at first, but I have several DVD rips whose icons now appear to be a generic file icon.  Furthermore, when I double-click on them, instead of DVD Player opening both the control window and the viewer window, only the control window opens.  When I press the play button on the control window, I get the system error beep.  I can not play the DVD file even when I then choose File ... Open from DVD Player's menu.  I can use VLC to play the DVDs, but I would rather use DVD Player (just my preference). 
    I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue since upgrading to 10.7.3.  This is pretty annoying, especially considering that DVD Player is an Apple app.  Oh, and I use Ripit for my DVD rips.  After purchasing a DVD, I would rather just rip it and play the rip than take a chance on damaging the original DVD. 
    Thanks in advance for any and all responses

    FCS 3 is working as usual for me, although FCP did re-profile the RT Extreme settings and took a couple of seconds longer to start up the first time after updating. What else have you installed or updated?
    I was also on the 10.7.3 beta. It did not change anything in the behaviour of FCS 3 there either.

  • Software Update Issue-After Leopard Installation

    I installed Leopard yesterday and ran the first software update; everything worked OK; the first software updated included three updates: Remote Desktop Client update; iDVD update and Garageband update.
    Today I tried to run another update and had this issue: while the Software Update is displaying a message saying "New software is available for your computer" there is nothing listed below and the install button is disabled! Then I went to the Software Update Preference and saw a message there saying Last Attempt Failed; error occurred while checking
    Does anyone have the same issue while trying a new software update after Leopard installation?
    I do understand there is another new update issued yesterday by Apple regarding login key
    Grateful for any insight re this problem

    Hi. I had the same problem after doing an erase and install of Leopard yesterday. When I go into Terminal (actually iTerm) and type "softwareupdate -l" (to list all updates), I see:
    XML parser error:
    Encountered unexpected EOF
    Old-style plist parser error:
    Malformed data byte group at line 1; invalid hex
    This appears to be a problem with com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist, the property list for Software Update, but I'm not sure. If I type "find ~/Library/ -name '*plist' -exec plutil {} \;" to check all the plists, however, the Software Update plist checks out as OK. Furthermore, deleting that property list and rebooting to force the OS to create a new plist does not fix the problem. Weird. Now, if I type "sudo softwareupdate -i -a" to install all updates (change "-a" to "-r" to only install recommended updates), it works fine. I still get that same error when I try to run Software Update normally afterwards, but if I go to the preferences, all of the updates are listed under Installed Updates. So, I can get the OS to update automatically, but only through the Terminal. This is very weird, and I hope someone can shed more light on this situation.

  • Dual Layer DVD Burner Issues

    Hello every one. I recently purchased a Sony DRX-810UL/T External DVD burner and am having a few issues with it. I have it connected through firewire to my mac mini runing the latest version of panther. It works well with Toast lite which shipped in the box, however if toast isn't launched, and I insert a dvd into the drive, I get the usual prompt asking me if I want to ignore, eject, or burn the disc. Regardless of which option I choose the disc ejects and i get an error message (0x80020025) telling me the drive is not supported. I posted a message on the maccast forums and was told that it was an issue with panther that it had trouble with dual layer burners. I also read one article that said relaunch the finder would fix this problem however that did not work. I am wondering if anyone else has experiences the same or similiar issues using a dual layer burner in panther. Just to clarify i am not trying it with a dual layer disc, it is a single layer dvd.
    Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.
    -Matt

    Hi Matthew
    I have a Dual Layer burner(internal) on my Mac running Panther 10.3.9 plus another burner and when I connected them,I had the same problem.Then,I installed an app called"Patchburn"(it's freeware)and since then,no problems,it recognizes both burners

  • DVD burn issue

    I have Premiere Elements 13 and up till now have had no problem burning DVDs. Now it says the DVD burn is interrupted and advises me to use the ISO image instead.

    donm
    Thanks for the update.
    As for the save location of the iso from the failed burn to disc,
    a. look at typically default location - if you have not already...
    Libraries
    Documents
    or
    Libraries
    Documents
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    13.0
    and in the 13.0 Folder look for the .iso file included with the folders and project.file
    There is the likelihood that the .iso was not really produced. That typically results is the preference Intel HD Graphics 2000 or Higher is not set right, either disabled when it should be enabled or enabled when it should be disabled.
    Open the project to the Expert workspace and expand the Timeline using the -+ slider above the Timeline - opened all tracks which are used or unused and look for
    a. leftovers - whole clips or fragments of clips (could be seen as thin vertical black lines scattered among the track content)
    b. gaps
    c. title and transition placement
    d. placement of those Timeline menu markers if you left them when you did the with and without menus
    What were the properties of those last 3 scenes that you deleted and ended with successful burn to disc?
    Let us review the above.
    Thank you.

  • CD/DVD Burning issues

    Hi all....My system is almost a year old now and I love it...it runs great in almost every situation.
    I am however having a strange problem and was wondering if you guys here might have seen it before...i

    It actually goes throught the entire shutdown process....it does not crash.
    It happens randomly with both of my burners ....only sometimes when I use NERO 6
    and almost always when I try to use CloneCD.
    any suggestions?

  • 10.5.2 Update fixes Leopard DVD burning issues!

    I'd been having problems burning dvd's in leopard ever since i installed it, always had that "Power Calibration Error". I was able to burn discs in Bootcamp, so it was kinda obvious that the problem was in OS X. I've just completed installing 10.5.2 full update (341 MB) from Apple's website and I'm happy to say Apple has responded pretty well. I've burnt 5 Single Layer DVD's successfully. I have no dual layer ones lying around, so I'm not too sure about them.

    Call AppleCare and see if they can help.
    Regular trouble shooting
    1) Create a new account, name it test or something
    2) log into that account to see if the behavior changes
    3) If it does, then there is some problem in your own account.
    4) If it doesn't, restart.
    5) If the behavior still doesn't change, there is some system configuration error
    In this case
    6) Open Disk Utility. Verify your disk, then repair permissions (not likely to fix the problem but will at least eliminate that possibilty)
    7) Get a copy of Leopard Cache Cleaner and do a MODERATE cache cleaning
    8) Restart
    If still not fixed, reset PRAM and the SMU. Look on the Apple web site for instructions for your particular computer.
    If still not different, do an Archive and Install. However go to the Apple web site and download the 10.5.2 Combo updater first. After you Archive and Install from either the disk that came with your computer (assuming that it is Leopard) or the retail Leopard installer. Then run the combo updater. Then run Software Update.
    These problems are disturbing and really shouldn't happen, but they do. However, they can be fixed and you'll find that Mac OS is, overall, much better than the alternatives.
    BTW, I just went through this whole mess for crashes on wake from sleep (USB issues) and failure to sleep (printer driver issue). Another computer had DHCP problems and actually needed a reinstall. However both of them are working fine now even though it was a pain getting there.

  • Cd burning issue after installing and updating snow leopard

    After installing and updating snow leapard to the latest version, the cd burner for i-tunes quit working.  it says" burning disk initializing" then "burning disk finishing"  comes up with the error "the attempt to burn a disk failed.  the disc drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry.  Any suggestions to fix this problem?

    First try other disks, brand new, then try another brand, then consider backup user files and (clean and polish then) c booting off the 10.6.3 disk and simply reinstalling OS X then updating to 10.6.8 again.
    Hopefully this should fix the issue in OS X software, you may have to reinstall certain third party software again that it's kext files got kicked out of OS X by the reinstall.
    If you get hung booting at any time, simply hold the shift key down and then update your software then reboot normally

  • Dvd burning problem after update to 10.5.7

    hi there
    not a major problem, but a bit annoying. after updating my macpro to 10.5.7, my external lacie optical fw-drive is no more able to burn certain dvd-R's, using toast or mac-destop-burn-app. i used this brand (TDK printable) before, using 10.5.6 without any problem. no problem to burn another type of TDK dvd-R's.
    the internal drive is able to burn both types.
    so, i booted into 10.5.6 (parallel-system) to check: problem persists...
    my guess: something may have happened with the firewire connection/protocoll, whatever
    anybody seen this problem? any solution?
    btw, i did all the magic PRAM-permission-daily/weekly/monthly-voodoo
    regards
    christian

    DVD burners change over time. Eventually they quit being able to burn at all due to heat warping both the blank and the laser aiming, bearing wear, whatever. The fact that one brand does still work in the burner and also that you were able to install a firmware update properly tells me that you don't have a firewire issue.
    Your data is getting passed through to the burner, and it burns better on one type of blank than another. DVD's of the same brand will come with different characteristics and they can change by factory process. One batch of TDK's (or any brand) work, then the next batch doesn't. It happens.
    When I have problems burning, I slow down the burn. In fact I never burn a DVD higher than 4X. Too many data errors, with different drives and blanks.

  • Issues after Leopard install.

    Hi,
    I bought my intel iMac in October. It came with Tiger as the operating system. I recently upgraded to Leopard (after Apple sent me a free upgrade DVD of Leopard). Anyway, I had no problems before I installed Leopard. Since I've installed Leopard I've noticed a few 'glitches'. For example, sometimes there are horizontal lines through some of the application icons when I run my cursor over them in the dock. Also, in Safari, when I right click the mouse to open a new window...a new window won't open and the cursor jumps to the search field in Google (the webpage I already have up).
    Has this happened to anyone else? What do you think I should do? I don't really want to do an erase and install...is it easy to put all of my files back where they belong if I do an archive and install? I'd appreciate any help you may have to offer. Thanks.

    Hello, two things:
    1) In your Utilities folder>Disk Utilities>Repair Disk Permissions.
    2) Reset the Pram:
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Try both of these and report back. They are harmless to your computer and can only help and possibly correct the issues,

  • Intel iMac cd/dvd Burner issues

    I attempted to burn some files to a cd today. My burner is the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J:
    The cd's and dvd's I have are compatible. They've NEVER been a problem in the past.
    I load the cd, the finder prompt appears as normal, I click ok.
    I drag the items to the cd and click burn. I chose 8x speed.
    It goes thru the motions as usual, but spits out the cd implying it's not successful.
    The message that appears reads: "This disc could not be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new, blank disc. (Error code 0x80020063)".
    I assumed it didn't work, tried 2 more, same response.
    I then checked to see if there was anything on the cds and yes, all 3 burned, successfully and are readable.
    Mind you I've used these cd's in the past w/no problem. I also just installed Leopard, and my computer is FULLY UPDATED.
    Any idea? Is mine about to fail like the numerous other reports?
    Is there a utility or app in our OS that allows us to check the workings of the burner, specifically? If so, what, where, and how?
    I've run disk utility, w/no detected issues. I've also run techtool from applecare, again, no detected issues.
    Thank you.

    I had this problem on an older MacBook Pro (1st Gen) it turned out to be a dirty laser. I fixed it by blowing compressed air into the slot. If this it is just dust this should fix it but if there is a more serious problem then I think you might need to replace it or buy an external drive to burn DVDs.

  • DVD Sharing issue between Leopard and Snow Leopard

    Today started out pretty straight forward.. I was going to finally upgrade to Snow Leopard.  Turns out I have a bad optical drive (only reads CD's not DVD's). No problem... I will share the drive off my husbands laptop which is already running snow leopard.  Well 4 hours and a  whole lot of swearing later... it was still not working.  The drive would not mount under devices and it seemed no amount of coaxing would work.  I also was not getting the option of choosing a network after I rebooted with the option key (maybe that is MacBook Air only???) when I tried the remote install. I even went so far as to try to share the DVD drive of a windows vista system I have for work.
    As a last ditch effort I threw the disk in an old PPC iMac also running 10.5.8 and Viola!!!!!! the disk appeared as it should and all seems to be well for an install. I post this for anyone else who finds themselves in this position... stop banging your head against a wall if the disk is not mounting with DVD/CD sharing. Try to find another leopard machine to use or use a different technique all together. (target disk mode, making an image on usb.. I've seen them, never tried them). Hopefully you won't lose hours tilting and windmills like I did.

    This solved my problem.
    In Leopard in System Preferences I opened Security. In the Firewall tab I clicked on "Set access for specific services and applications"
    Once I had File Sharing (AFP, SMB) added I was able to access my Macpro on my PowerBook G4.
