DVD disk burned successfuly but is unrecognized

I have tried to burn 2 different iDVD 5 projects with the same results:
1. The dvd seems to burn OK; no errors
2. The DVD mounts OK, DVD icon OK, Video TS is there
3. However, DVD player does not recognize the disk for playback nor does it play on my livingroom player.
I am using a DVD-RW.
The project is only 20mins long
I made an image file. That plays OK. However I had errors when I tried to copy it to DVD using Toast!
Anyone had the same problems? Can anyone help?

I am using a DVD-RW.
The almost certainly is the problem with your living room player. MANY DVD players (especially older ones) won't play RW media
DVD player does not recognize the disk for playback
You mean if you start Apple's DVD Player application, you can not: File>Open Video_TS folder?
I made an image file. That plays OK.
Good
However I had errors when I tried to copy it to DVD using Toast!
Which version of Toast - there are major differences in procedure between Toast Titanium 6 and Toast Titanium 7.
As a result, you may have created a data DVD in Mac OS Extended format and not a DVD in the necessary UDF format required by DVD players.
Click on the mounted disc and do a 'Get Info'. What format is shown?

DVD-R burn fails but...

When i burn a dvd-r on my macbook pro mid-2012 fails but when i connect one external drive (brand: LG) it works and burns it correctly. It makes a really loud noise and it is vibrating a lot. (The LG drive does not make loud noice and it isn't vibrating.... it just works great.) Now the question. Why is that happening?

It could be any number of things.

DVD will burn successfully but cannot be read in any DVD player

I have created a film using Final Cut Pro 7. I have exported as a Quicktime Movie file, used converter to make DVD MPEG-2 and DVD Dolby Audio. I import these files as assets onto DVD Studio Pro (v4.2.2) and add to my project which plays perfectly as we want it to on the Simulation.
When I do either the One Click Burn or Build and Format to burn, the process runs smoothly and says it's successful but no DVD player will recognise the disc. This ranges from top of the line Sony Blu-Ray/DVD players to various other basic DVD players...
How can we get to view these DVDs?

You made an HD DVD. Go back into preference and change it to SD and start over.

When I try to burn a DVD from FCPX it burns everything but the video.

So far I am having this problem on only one project. I am very new to FCPX, so I'm thinking it's user error. When I share to DVD it burns everything but the actual video. I get audio and text effects but a black screen otherwise. The only thing I know that I've done differently from previous projects was using stabilization. I have since burned other projects to DVD with no problem, but this project will not export correctly.

HT1583 What blank DVD disks are compatible with burning a film from Idvd on an applemac?

I have just finalized a project in imovie and this message came up on the screen - "Your project exceeds the maximum duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the project info window".
I have changed the encoder setting from best fit to Professional but I am having burning the film to a dvd. The computer tells me to load a dvd or my driver is busy - which it isn't it only has a blank dvd disk in it. So I was wondering whether my DVD disks are compatible with the applemac computer!
HELP!

Hi
So I was wondering whether my DVD disks are compatible with the applemac computer!
And if You tell - what brand and type You are trying to use - I will be so much easier !
But most often the problem is
• Do NOT - insert the DVD disk before iDVD specifically as You to do this. As Desktop will catch it and try to format it as a Data-DVD - Not what You want (a Video-DVD) as Data-DVD can not be played on standard DVD-players.
To get it even better I do
• Use Verbatim - Never Memorex or NoName etc cheap brands (as they don't work OK for Me)
• DVD-R - as they play on even older DVD-players
• Burn Speed - set down to x2 or x4 MAX ! - Best IS NOT BEST at all here !

Try to clean the laser lens using a cotton wool tip and alcohol.
In my case this helped to solve a similar issue with an optical disk drive.
But be careful during this operation!

Suddenly DVD Drive will read but will not burn

My Dvd drive Mat**bleep**a UJ870BJ from my Tecra A10-SP5802A suddenly stopped reading blank dvd discs. I can play any dvd movie or game but I can't burn any more.
Please help me. Thanks

Using poor quality disks causes a LOT of burning problems for people, a lot more than they realize. The burners that Toshiba uses tend to work better with DVD+R than they do with DVD-R and they absolutely hate Memowreck blank disks (which are basically junk disks anyway). Getting good quality blanks is the most important thing that people need to do, and this is complicated by the fact that most of the blanks available in your local store are normally low quality at best. The ONLY disks worth getting locally are Verbatum with AZO dye made in Taiwan aor the United Arab Emerits or Sony's made in Japan. Otherwise there is a 90% chance that you are buying junk disks.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Errors burning DVD disks

My drive has worked faultlessly since I got the PowerMac and continues to do so for CDR's however I tried to backup around 1.5Gb recently and got and error. I have also had an error burning an ISO image. The error seems to occur arouns a third of the way in. I have had no problem burning films via iDVD in the past but I have not tried one (I will do so after this post).
I have tried from mounting in finder (data dvd), disk utility (iso) and Toast (data dvd and toast). The errors are:
Disk Utility
Unable to burn
"mydvd.iso" - The device failed to calibrate
Roxio Toast Titanium
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03
followed by
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = ILLEGAL REQUEST
Sense Code = 0x21, 0x02
BUFFER UNDERRUN
the DVD-R disks used are the ones I have always used as I bought in bulk some 18 months back.

If you've got Toast 7, do a Disc Info and see what the media code is on the discs you have. This tells who manufactured it. As you can see from this site, Imation uses many different manufacturers, many of which are not of high quality.
If you don't have Toast 7, you can download and use DVD Media Inspector to view the media code on the disc (it's just harder to read than Toast's display).
I would also surmise that the discs could have deteriorated in the 18 months you've had them, especially depending on how they've been stored.

Exported slideshow from Iphoto11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine but show stops 1/2way through because DVD has 2 chapters. How do I eliminate chapters?

I exported slideshow from Iphoto 11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine, but then when playing on DVD player show stops about 12 way and starts over. Seems there are 2 chapters in show. I wan t show to play straight through until end. How do I elimiante chapters or solve problem. Thanks. Bob Low

Try this workflow:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
Play the disk image with DVD Player and see if you get the same start over half way thru.
Did you create the slideshow in iPhoto in the slideshow mode?
or were you in an album and then used the Share ➙ iDVD menu option? What I'm trying to find out is if the slideshow in iDVD is a movie file or an iDVD slideshow with the photos from iPhoto? If it's the latter how many photos in the slideshow?

I click on the file - under "Preview" there is no "Burn" to select. New Lion comes with imovie and iphoto but can't find way to burn family slideshow (pdf) to disk. Slideshow sent to me - is already set up. Have read Apple gave up on iDVD. How do they expect one to burn disk for family?

I converted from a PC to a Mac Mini. I have my PC documents backed up on a DVD disk. I have an external DVD drive connected to the Mac Mini. I want to open them up and save them to the Mac, BUT....when I put the DVD disk in the Mac is NOT reading it!

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your quick response. I should add....it worked before. When I previously inserted the two DVDs into this remote drive, and I went into finder, I could click on the "remote device" line and see all my saved documents (excel, word, etc) on the DVD and open them on the Mac. Now I cannot see them, when I try to open them on the Mac, nothing happens, nothing is displayed. I just re-tested the remote DVD drive with a CD and, no problem, it opened up the CD via iTunes and I cold play the CD. SO......I know the remote DVD drive (it's an LG by the way) is fine, it's something to do with some settings on my mini mac,especially where I could open it previously. I do not remember changing any settings since then.
When I go into system preferences and click on CD/DVD it gives me options of how to open up a music CD (default is iTunes), a DVD (default is iMovie), etc. The problem is my DVD is all miscellaneious files/documents. I just want to be able to see them in the finder. I also tried to open them via microsoft word, from the remote disk and again, it could not open the drive, even though some of the documents were microsoft word documents. Again, I was able to open them previously and the DVD is not corrupted in any way.
Any additional advice?
Thank you!

My disk drive does not play any original dvd or cd anymore, but the copies work fine, no matter which format. Do I need a new disk drive?

Hello All,
since last week my disk drive does not play any original DVD or CD anymore, but copied ones, no matter which format work fine. I am a bit confused that the copied ones still work.
Anybody experienced the same? Will I have to get a new disk drive? Unfortunately the warranty expired last month
Looking forward to your answers and thanks,
Yvonne

An external DVD drive from http://www.macsales.com/ may solve your problems.

Dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk,

dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk, what can I do?

Well I was able to obtain a work around download of Flash and it installed fine but Firefox tells me it needs updating so I go out, thinking I'm "IN" finally to update it and I get that issue of not being able to get the update for it. It's a regular laptop, not a touch screen or one of those new fangled ones for todays world. In fact it's a refurb so it's probably origin date was a year or so ago before all this MS stuff took off fully. So not understanding why I'm feeling like I'm being BLOCKED from getting the updated Flash I need and desire. If I click on the little "X" and tell it to ignore the warning the vid will play just fine but don't want to have to do that every time. Must be a better way.
Again, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum, getting this posted in the Flash forum was my desire but the way Adobe has this set up I just couldn't figure it out. I belong to ALLOT of forums and most are pretty straight forward but this one is confusing!
