DVD/CD loading problem

I have a 3+ year old Intel Mini with superdrive. Recently I rented a DVD and it kept hanging, so I ejected. Ever since then I have not been able to load a DVD or CD. I put it in and the machine makes a few noises and then ejects it.
I read in another discussion that using a DVD/CD drive cleaner solved the problem. Is this something anyone else has tried?
Does anyone know a rough cost to possibly get the drive replaced and how long it would take?

I sometimes get error codes when burning DVD's (verbatim) and I open the drive and blow compressed air into the drive and it works again. I would try that before buying a new drive since the cost is only about 5 bucks for a can of air.
you could purchase a new drive and install it yourself for about $80 bucks or less depending on what you want out of the drive (ie dual layer burner...). If you brought it in it would probably cost you upwards of $150. To be honest replacing a drive in a mac pro is pretty simple and there are multiple how-to's online.

Brand new MacBook - DVD drive loads with clunk, clunk, clunk!

Hi all,
I have set up my new MacBook - very happy so far. This morning I went to load some software via the DVD drive and was shocked at the noise that was made whilst the DVD was loading into the slot and settling - at least three unusually loud clunks. The new iMac I have loads discs silently, so I was thrown by this noise. Does anyone else have this problem? It sounds like something is in the mechanism (there wouldn't be) and that something is about to break.
This is two days old and this is the first time I have used the DVD drive.
Thanks in advance!

me too i got a wii (its the only other slot loading disk i have) its silent and pulls the disk in its self very sleek. like you im disapointed at the extreme noise of the loader but that maybe the price for the slim design? need to see if its the same on a macbook pro?

DVD Image Quality Problem

I just began using Final Cut Studio and elected to burn my DVD from IDVD as I am not yet comfortable with Sutdio Pro. When I play back my disc on any computer MAC or PC it plays fine. However, when I play it on a set-top DVD player two problems occur. 1) I get occasional brief pilelation in a scene. It doesn't always happen at the same place in the playback. 2). Some of the video scenes (especially those which I have extended by slowing the motion, even thogh I have applied frame blending) tend to flicker. Neither of these problems occur when the DVD is played on a computer/monitor or even when played on a tv monitor using the s-video output from a computer. But both happen on the three set-top players I have tried. Any thoughts. Thanks.

Welcome to the world of authoring DVDs. It is very difficult to troubleshoot the exact problem. For starters, iDVD did its job, it made a DVD compliant disc that plays on a DVD player. It plays better on your computer DVD player for a variety of reasons. Your computer has much more sophisticated hardware/software for DVD playback than does a tabletop unit. It could simply be that a progressive scan tabletop DVD player may give you better results. The point being that two different players can yield different results. Artifacts/ pixilation can be by-products of MPEG2 compression (which is what iDVD does to create a DVD). It is helpful to have a basic understanding of what makes a DVD a DVD. When you record on mini-DV you are recording to an already compressed format. Arguably a very good compressed format but compressed nonetheless. This means information is being tossed at the point you are using the camcorder. iDVD, or any DVD authoring app on any computer, Windoze or Mac, compresses this material even further into the MPEG 2 format for playback via a tabletop DVD player. Now mini-DV has about 30 frames per second (NTSC). MPEG (in a very basic nutshell) takes a picture about twice every 30 frames and uses this as a reference frame and then only records the motion difference between that reference frame and the next time it creates a reference frame. So you go from 30 frames/second to TWO, with motion difference! This is how one hour of DV which is 13 gigs, can be compressed to fit onto one DVD. Two hours would be 26 gigs of DV compressed to one DVD! Hence the general quality difference between one-hour and two. And keep in mind that is compression will show artifacts that may have always been there but you didn’t see until the other 28 frames where tossed out. Slow motion can also be very difficult to encode. I have found that going under 50% slow-motion is problematic. One work around is to create your slow-motion sequence and send it back to tape and then re-import from the tape. Now it is no longer a software effect but an actual 29.97 fps clip. Clips with a lot of motion, quick pans & zooms, hand held shots and so on, will also suffer more artifacts because the whole frame is in motion and thus difficult to encode. Which is why a tripod is recommended to keep the frame steady!
Just some thoughts… welcome to the Discussions!

I have a Power Mac G4. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem. Now I get an error message stating it doesn't recognize the disc and an error

I have a Power Mac G4 with OX 10.4.11. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem. Now I've gotten two different sets of messages. One states that
the disc is not readable and an error code: 0x8002006D. The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025.
What is going on? I need to burn discs immediately for a conference next week.

"The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025."
The error (0x80020025) refers to an unsupported drive (not disk). I've read about relaunching the Finder to correct the problem. Choose "Force Quit" from the Apple Menu and then choose "Finder." Click "Relaunch" and see if the drive still produces the error. If there's no change, I'd be tempted to replace the drive.

Account Specific Apple DVD Player Audio Problem

I accidently went reverse with the wrong "sticky key" locked during a dvd. (I thought I'd pressed "command-arrow")
Since this I have no audio on any video when using the DVD Player software IN THIS ACCOUT ONLY.
After restarting both the DVD player and the Mac with no success, I switched user accounts, and continued watching said dvd with no problem. Switching back, still no sound.
Clearly I created an error in my user account prefs. In the past, an easy fix. But where do I find the user library/prefs in Mountain Lion?

Hi Chris,
Found the "easy" approach..
A) Hold Option while selecting the Go Menu while in the Finder. The User Library shows as "Library".
B) Keep holding Option as you select Library. (If using Sticky Keys, this means lock the Option Key at point A.)
TADA! The user library is opened before one's eyes.
From there, I switched user accounts via fast user switching, repeated the above. Next I copied the DVD Player folder in Application Support to an external drive, switched back, and replaced the corrupted user folder by copying the one on the external drive.
Sound has returned to the DVD Player! It was likely one file, but none popped out at me, so I just replaced the entire file.

How do I get DVD,s loaded on to my iPadmini

How do I get DVD,s loaded on to my iPadmini?

If you're talking about commercially made dvd's, then you can't, not without breaking the CSS encoding, otherwise known as copy protection. Since doing that is against the rules of this forum, none of us can help you with that.
If you're talking about home made family movies, etc, then you need to get that DVD file to mp4 format. Google and you'll find several converters you can use.

App keeps loading problem solve

Anyone with an app still loading problem can get rid of it by going into the app store. tap on "updates"- bottem right corner. tap on purchased where you get a list of your downloads then tap on the cloud with the arrow, enter your pin. hit ok for app over 20mb. go back into the app store and to your purchased list and wait for it to reload. once done come out of the app store and hopefully all the loading apps are gone. hope it works for you.

I had this same problem when trying to download some training app. I could not delete or get it to upload completely either. Very frustrating. What I did was plug it into my computer, went to Itunes and searched the same app. I was able to download it here and then it starte to sync with my Iphone. You can remove the app after it finishes the download if u want. Hope this works!

Loader-Problem mit I.Explorer / FireFox ist OK

Die Domain "http://woopi.net"
enthält eine "site", die nur mit Flash generiert wurde.
Teste ich diese "Site" mit Firefox, dann gibt es keine Probleme, alles OK.
Teste ich mit dem Internet-Explorer, dann muß dieser erst lernen mit den LoaderKomponenten umzugehen,
nach dem 2. oder 3. "rollOver" werden dann diese Elemente richtig angezeigt.
Ziel-Beschreibung:
beim Aufruf von "woopi.net" wird auf dem Bildschirm die Bundesrepublik dargestellt.
Ein Klick auf die BRD öffnet ein Navigationsfeld mit 7 Button.
Der Klick auf den Button "Alle Banken in Deutschland" öffnet ein Navigationsfeld, in welchem bei einem RollOver
unten links auf dem Bildschirm ein Bild angezeigt wird, in einer LoaderKomponente.
Der InternetExplorer zeigt diese Bilder falsch an, erst nach dem 2., ev. nach dem 3. RollOver wird das Bild richtig angezeigt.
Unten rechts auf dem Bildschirm gibt es den Zugang zu einem weiteren Navigationsfeld, "WebKatalog 2".
Die Darstellung in diesem Navigationsfenster ist geradezu scheußlich.
Hinweis:
auch die Html-Seiten in denen die Flash-Seiten eingebettet sind, wurden mit Flash-Cs4 generiert.
Es wurden keine ProgrammErweiterungen verwendet.
Wer kennt die Problemlösung?

<a href="./cue/queue1.swf"></a>     //das Script in cue.swf:   loadMovieNum("./cue/queue1.swf", 1);
<a href="./cue/queue2.swf"></a>    //d.Script in queue1.swf: on (release){loadMovieNum("./cue/queue2.swf",2);}

Das "Loader-Problem" zeigt sich aber schon in der "queue1.swf" Datei, welche nach _level1 geladen wird.
Es wird hier nur Actionscript 2 eingesetzt. Bemerkenswert ist, daß sich Firefox ohne Probleme sehr stabil verhält.
Vielleicht können Sie hiermit etwas anfangen. Wenn ein SreenShoot eine bessere Analyse ermöglicht, schiebe ich ein Bild gerne nach.

You remove xmlns:ns0 attribute from PlanningOrderRequest and the prefix ns0: from xsd tags. When you declare xmlns:ns0 means it is looking for that ns0 namespace in the project directory or oracle server global directory.

PSE 12 trial version - loading problems

I have been trying for 3 days to load the 30 day trial of PSE12 on my new computer. My computer is loaded with Windows 8. I have encountered problems over and over again with loading PSE12, but never the same problem.
For example: after one download the start menu would open but it wouldn't go to the organizer or editor. So I deleted that program and re-loaded it BUT -
then , it went straight to the organizer - and froze, so I clicked out - tried to click back in, and NOTHING> >> not even the start menu.
THIS IS SOOO FRUSTRATING! Makes me really second guess whether I should purchase this or not
Please help!!!

I think it said error 101, but not totally sure that I recall it
correctly. I deleted everything and reinstalled and then it worked.

Adobe Captivate 8 projects published to HTML 5 shows major loading problems and stops

Adobe Captivate 8 projects published to HTML 5 cause major loading problems in most browsers(IE 11, Chrome v. 35.0, Firefox v. 31). Loading… (screen)
The view stops after a while and only the Loading… (icon) can be seen on the page.
Is this a known problem with Captivate projects published to html5 and is there a way to fix it? What is wrong?
Test the html5 version of this project at: http://kurs.dokker.no/captivate/
and see for yourself what happends.

I changed the Preferences/Project/Start and End Preloader % to 25 and published the projects again. The course: http://kurs.dokker.no/captivate/elev/
stopped like before on one of the first slides, loading… screen like before in IE11.
In Chrome v. 37.0 the course worked badly, would not run, sound missing and buttons not working.
In Firefox 31.0 the course worked to a degree even if the program was advising to use another browser for this content.
In Opera 23.0 sound was missing and else working as bad as IE.
All this testes is done on a PC using Windows 8 connected på internet via ethernet, download speed: 66.57.
I would like to use the HTML5-format since it has a cleaner view than swf-files that appear to be jagged, but there is a lot missing before Adobe Captivates html5 publish is where it needs to be. Her are the complete html5 course and here are the swf based course for comparison.
