3-In DVD STUDIO PRO 4: Import assets and etc so burn
Everything works nice . i insert the dvd in my mac pro and it works nice but in a dvd player doesn't works

You may have made a HD DVD, which will not play on styandard DVD Players.
To see if the DVD you burned is HD or not is to look at what is on it in the Finder - if there is something else other than a AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS and possibly a Data folder, you made a HD DVD. If you see a HDDVD_TS folder it means that your project was set up for HD and not SD - in DVD SP prefs you can set default project - SD or HD. I leave as default as SD. If you switch a project from SD to HD (or created a HD Project) you cannot switch back.
Check that first.

A65-S159 - I can't use the CD Recovery because my CD/DVD doesn't work properly

Hi, I need help to reinstall the system and drives. It's a Satellite A65-S159. The CD/DVD doesn't work properly. Rarely, the CD/DVD can read a DVD. So I can't use the CD Recovery. What may I do?
Thank you,
Cabula, Brazil

There are two ways to run the recovery DVD, one is from Windows. Instead power ont he computer with the disk in the drive. And imediatly after powering on start pressing the F12 key. After a few seconds you should see a boot device menu that you can select the CD/DVD drive to boot from. Try that and let us know if you got the boot menu, and if the disk worked.

FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR INTERNAL SUPERDRIVE
This might help. If you haven't done so yet, try installing Apple's SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0, which is on Apple's support site at http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201953 to see if that resolves it. Although it's not specifically for that problem, the firmware update seems to be important for making external SuperDrives work in Yosemite, and it is one step I used to get my SuperDrive to work in a USB external case when plugged into my MacBook Pro.
Please let us know either way, whether the firmware update helps or not in your situation.

Works in Simulator, doesn't work in Mac DVD player

Never seen this before--the Simulator actually works fine, all links and menu calls are flawless. The Video TS in the Mac DVD player, however, menu calls and a couple of links do not work.
The dvd should be fine, I burned one yesterday and all of this stuff was fine on the disk, just had to go back and make a couple of changes today.
Anyone seen this before?

I have seen this kind of thing happen before. You should definately try deleting and old builds when you compile. A couple times i had to delete the parse files and let the project reparse to get the dvd to behave properly after the build.
sometimes i could only get the project to work by deleting the offending menus and rebuilding and relinking them.

Qosmio G30-117: WinDVD Creator 2 - created DVD doesn't work on DVD player

Hi all, need help.
When I create a DVD on WDVD2 all of the menus and the toggles work on a PC but not on any DVD players. They only work on a PC when I use the mouse and click. On a DVD player the arrow keys and play/enter dont work.
Am I missing something?

1.What type of DVD?
2.If it is DVD-R(minus R) it will compatible with more than 90% of standalone DVD players
3.If it is DVD +R,+RW compatibility is limited.
4.I use DVD-R and -RW and so far no problems with dvd players
5.I have done > 20 home DVD with win DVD creator 2 using toshiba Sonic record now with G20 to date without problems
6.Make sure that you have AUDIO VTS and VIDEO VTS files on your created DVD

DVD menu doesn't work right in DVD players

I've created a DVD in Encore for Mac. It plays fine on my Mac and on Windows. However, once it is inserted into a stand alone DVD player, the menu doesn't work right. I have four text menus. In the DVD player, none of those are navigable. Arrowing up or down doesn't work. You have to click a number on the remote keypad and then play. This also causes "Channel 1" or "Channel 2" and so on to display. Any ideas how I can get the arrow keys to work? I don't have a stand alone dvd player to test against.
Also, in Windows, I have someone that wants to duplicate the dvd. They're using Movie Maker. It gives an error that the codec is not installed but doesn't say which codec. Any ideas on that?

The only time I recall similar problems was the issue Jeff was asking about above (Mac, Encore CS3, certain OS). If you don't solve this otherwise, I'd experiment with that.
You appear to have confirmed that there is button navigation. (In button routing, each button points to another.) Where does it break down?
On the Mac/PC, are you using the mouse? In the computer DVD software player, there should be a "remote" that you can use to see if the button navigation is working. Does the computer "remote" option work? If so, it makes it not working in a standalone player even odder.
If not, then look at whether the project works before you burn to disk. Does the "remote" work in the Encore preview? Or build to a folder, then play the DVD from the folder. (I don't know how on Mac; on PC, I find the first .ifo in the VIDEO_TS folder, and play that.)

DVD Menu not working right in DVD Players

Hi All,
I'm hoping you can help me. I'm using a Windows machine. I've created a video in Premiere CS5, dynamic linked it to Encore CS5 and created a Main Menu (with a button to play the whole video and a button to the sub menu) and Sub Menu for scene selection (Containing 9 scene buttons and back button). It works fine with the simulation Remote control buttons on Encore's Preview test.
I have burnt the DVD and tested it in two DVD players one old and one new. The Main menu shows but I can't do anything else. It's animated but it pauses/freezes and them moves again, so it doesn't play smooth on either.
On one DVD player occasionally it looks like you can select the up and down button on the DVD remote control to select the two buttons, but nothing happens when you press the remote Play Button.
I've played it on my computer the menu selects fine with the mouse. The video however played for a few mins before it froze. But I'm not to concerned with the computer play. Just need it to work on DVD.
I have clicking on the 'Show Button Routing' button in the Menu viewing window and NONE of the buttons left, right, up or down are set to 0. So if I'm right in believing the remote should be able to navigate around all the buttons. However, I'm not sure whether the Auto Routing is ticked somewhere as I can't find it. My gut feeling is that this isn't the problem as the menu does not play smoothly and is freezing on and off like it's malfunctioning.
Any advice would be great. Many thanks,
Eve

Hi Stan,
Many thanks for the reply.
I always run in admin mode otherwise the DVD's don't burn at all.
The animated buttons are on the next screen, 'scene selections'. Which I can't get to.
The animations I was referring to are the swirls and film on the background they pause and freeze for a few seconds then play again as if the DVD is not being read properly.
How would I turn off animated buttons anyway?
Nothing happens with I press the Play button either so I can't go straight into the film.
Thanks,
Eve

MY QOSMIO F45 AV425 HD DVD DOESN'T PLAY ANY HD DVD.

Can anyone help me with this issue. My qosmio doesn't play any hd dvd
I've have update the toshiba hd dvd, the broadcom decoder, video and sound card drivers to the latest ones but so far nothing happened.
Any suggestions?
!!!!! Help !!!!!!

Ah.. now I had the exact problem with my a205-s6808 satellite. The problem is with the Broadcom decoder, remember it is only optional to install it. So, Uninstall the Broadcom Decoder and restore your HD-DVD player black to the version that came on the disc (I believe it is version 4.33). Now once you have restarted your laptop Windows will ask you to install a 'Multimedia Controller', do not install this driver.
This worked for me, I hope it does for you. Tell me how it goes.

Media player hotkeys doesn't work with Windows Media Player 11

Hi;
I upgraded my windows media player 10 to 11 version. Now my hotkeys doesn't work. I was wondering if there is a way to solve this problem.

Hi
Do you mean the Toshiba Control buttons which control the WMP function like play, pause, stop, etc
On some Toshiba notebooks the Toshiba control buttons can be configured manually.
Please check this in the control panel -> Toshiba controls.
If you will be not successful I would recommend reinstalling the Toshiba utility again

A mic doesn't work. Adobe Flash Player camera and microphone exceptions are different. Please, help!

Hello!
The trouble began in Google Hangouts on Air. When I'm in conference room I read that my mic doesn't work. I checked settings, chose "default" one time and my microphone name another time. Both variants don't help. On the right end of an address bar I read this message: "this page has been blocked from accessing your camera and microphone". I clicked it, chose "Allow", after reloading the problem returns. Then I went to Chrome exceptions and allowed my mic on the site.
In Chrome exceptions menu I read this: "Adobe Flash Player camera and microphone exceptions are different". Though I chose "Allow" in Chrome I can't do it Fllash Player. I did all the instructions which are given to solve audio problems, but it didn’t help. I also wanted to allow excess for my mic on “Website Privacy Settings Panel”, but I can’t find https://plus.google.com in the list to allow (attach a screenshot). I’m out of ideas what else to do. Please, help!

Which kind of DVD Dual Layer work on MacPro DVD Drive?

On my MacPro 2X3 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon I have, as a DVD Drive, an
OPTIARC DVD RW AD-7170A:
Revisione firmware: 1.N8
Interconnessione: ATAPI
Supporto masterizzazione: Sì (unità fornita da Apple)
Cache: 2048 KB
Legge i DVD: Sì
Masterizzatore CD: -R, -RW
Masterizzatore DVD: -R, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Strategie di scrittura: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: Inserisci il supporto e aggiorna per mostrare le velocità di masterizzazione disponibili
Now, I purchased 50 not branded DVDs +R Dual Layer (like indicated by the features above) but every time I make a burning I get an error message on verifying ("....sector is unreadable").
My supplier told me that
"It is normal that all DVD writers have problems with some DVDs, while
others work perfectly".
So I don't know which DVD I can take..
Has anyone used successfully some kind? And which?
Tnx

There is a web site that rates DVD media brands. Verbatim DL is what I use and never had trouble.

MacBook Pro doesn't boot (Kernel Panic), even CD/DVD doesn't work anymore

It is a very long story how I came to the point I am at right now, so I'll try to keep it really short:
My MPR stops booting and shows that Kernel Panic message (30s after starting the boot procedure with the grey screen and Apple logo), telling me to reboot. It even does not boot from CD/DVD anymore. Zapping PRAM doesn't help. Booting into Safe Mode doesnt work. Booting into Single User Mode and repairing the drive (/sbin/fsck -fy) did help a couple of times; scanning the system with Onyx and removing faulty preferences even helped a lot as well, everything seemed to work fine. But after the next system crash (happened during memtest procedure), I had the same problem again, this time even Single User Mode doesnt help. Booting from external FW-drive doesnt work. Every time: Kernel Panic.
Since I put in 4GB RAM four weeks ago (without any problems until last week), I replaced the new RAM with the old RAM. Still: Kernel Panic.
How I ran into the whole trouble? I replaced the original internal drive with a new 500GB WD drive. Now problems, until I accidently wiped the whole drive with BootCamp assistant.
At some point, I managed to boot from CD/DVD and (deep-)clean / format the whole internal disk, reinstalled 10.5.4, imported the settings and software from my old internal disk, and maybe f*ed everything up again by doing so. ONYX helped me to isolate a couple of preferences that went bad after that import, and after deleting them, everything seemed to be alright, especially after updating to 10.5.6. Until the system crashed next time, during a memtest. Memory seems to be ok though; as I already said, swapping it against the old RAM doesnt change anything, and TechTool didnt find anything. HD seems to be ok as well, neither Disk Utility nor ONYX nor TechTool did find any hardware fault.
After every crash so far, pcscd.pub was corrupted, with 17 instead of 16 blocks (Single User Mode fsck -fy fixed that), which is more than strange since I don't use any smart card stuff which that file is used for.
Now, even fixing that file doesnt help anymore.
Verbose mode shows that the boot process stops right after
Feb 15 18:00:43 localhost /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOs/loginwindow[57]: Login Window Application Started -- Threaded auth
Feb 15 18:0046 localhost mDNSResponder-176.3 (Sep 30 2008 16:59:38)[56]: starting
AirPort: Link Down on en1
It could be interesting to put back in the old internal drive, but I'd like to avoid that at almost any cost since putting back the cases lid was such a p. i. t. a. It doesnt seem to be necessary as the drive itself seems to be ok technically.
The thing that amazes me most is the fact that I can't boot neither from CD/DVD nor from external FW-drive(s) anymore.
Now I'm sitting here with a beautiful 2,5k$ brick and I'm wondering if anybody has a clue what I could do or who to ask (Apple Care won't be available before tomorrow). Thanks a lot in advance!

Alright, "Signal 4" means "illegal instruction", as "info signal" shows.
Rebooting in Single User Mode and doing another fsck -fy shows that everything is as before: a damaged pcscd.pub (incorrect block count) and a "succesful repair" with "FILESYSTEM MODIFIED". Exiting Single User Mode and continuing boot up works this time . Very strange. Verifying the volume using Disk Utility: everything is ok; some of the rights were corrupted though (in detail:
Die Zugriffsrechte unterscheiden sich für Library/Application Support/Apple/ParentalControls/ALRHelperJobs, Soll-Wert: drwxrwxr-x , Ist-Wert: drwxr-xr-x .

but repaired without problems. BTW, "Die Zugriffsrechte unterscheiden sich für..." means "Access rights differ...", "Soll-Wert" means "reference value", "Ist-Wert" means "actual value".
Testing CPU, RAM, video RAM and USB using TechTool Deluxe: everything is ok.

DVD's not working on Sony dvd player

I just bought some TDK DVD-R 16x. I burned a DVD with my iMac G4 in iDVD. I tried to play it in my Sony DVD player and it said it was was not allowed because there were limitations or something. Can I fix this or do I need new DVDs??

Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the
DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may
encounter. Once the disc image is created,
double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that
should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn
the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually,
you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which
OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in
Applications folder), click on the virtual disc
(maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the
Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your
SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn
icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R
preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait.
Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor
over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to
work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower
for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to
click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This
may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk
to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD.
Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD
Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and
open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio
disks.)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
I'm reading through the forums trying to figure why I am not able to play a DVD burned in iDVD that is "R", but the "RW" ones work fine.
Your post is very helpful and I've looked at the links suggested too. I just want to make sure I'm understanding. I've copied the movie to my hard drive using iMovie and then created an iDVD project. I then need to use either Disk Utility or Toast to make the DVD. I do not need to use the "burn" feature in iDVD. Is that correct?
I would appreciate any other suggestions. Maybe there is something else in the settings or preferences I need to adjust.
Thanks so much.

[SOLVED] Automount CD or DVD doesn't work (consistently)

Problem with mounting CD's / DVD's and Device Notifier
DVD's are not mounted in /media/, and the Device Notifier does not show them.
CD's (which aren't actually mounted) I can always access in Dolphin with "AudioCD:/", but Device Notifier rarely pops up (maybe 1 out of 10 times).
facts:
- No device listing in /etc/fstab for DVDROM
- File in /etc/hal/fdi/information/<device>.fdi has bool set to 'true' (and I tried deleting the whole file as well)
- HAL notices that the CD / DVD is inserted (with lshal -m):
storage_model_DVDRW___DVR_K17B property storage.removable.media_available = true
- Tried deleting .KDE4 profile, but that didn't change anything,
- I've got Ubuntu 10.10 installed on the same hardware, and it mounts / shows everything without problems (conclusion: problem is not hardware-related). Ubuntu doesn't use HAL.
- SystemSettings -> Removable Devices -> Automount on Attach is enabled (just in case),
- USB flashdrives and external Hard Disk are mounted and shown by Device Notifier without problem.
- I do get these errors with cat /var/log/errors.log | grep sr0, but they also appear in the rare event when a CD or DVD is actually mounted and shown by Device Notifier:
DVD:
Sep 7 13:55:05 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 4096
Sep 7 13:55:05 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 1024
Sep 7 13:55:05 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 1025
CD:
Sep 7 13:58:57 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0
Sep 7 13:58:57 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0
Sep 7 13:58:57 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 1
(the CD in this case was actually shown by Device Notifier normally! So these errors don't seem to have anything to do with it)
I don't think this is HAL - related, so it must be udev, dbus (not likely), or maybe KDE / device notifier.. ?
How do I troubleshoot this? Any suggestions?

Problem solved:
At one time, I was using the [testing] repo. Removed it from pacman.conf a week ago, because i wanted to get back to the stable packages. I re-installed all the older versions of the packages that are in core / extra and that pacman warned me about. Did not get any further warnings after that, so I assumed everything was fine, and the rest of the system was stable and working just fine. But something must have been broken, see the above. In other words: I messed up things without knowing about it. :-S
Today I added [testing] again to check if this would solve my problems, and it did!
Or... is it just the newer version of udev that is in testing at the moment. :-) Who knows.
This leads me to my next question: how can i safely disable [testing] and return to stable packages, without breaking anything?
