DVD Drawer problem
This is probably a simple problem, the drawer on my DVD re-writer/player will not stay closed. I had earlier been attempting to copy a DVD which had a problem and wouldnt copy(using sonic) Now the drawer keeps opening with or without a disc. Is it simply broken? I would appreciate any advice.
Try closing manually the DVD tray(drawer) when the computer is off. Turn on the computer and insert a good DVD disk or music CD and see what happens.
Hope it helps.

Re: Satellite Pro A300 - DVD drawer does not open most of the time
I have a Satellite Pro A300-1NH laptop. The DVD drawer does not open most of the time. Occasionally it does, but most of the time it does not.
Sometimes if I manage to get a DVD/CD into the drawer to burn something to, the burn works.
Most of the time the computer does not recognise that there is a disc there, and then I can't open the drawer again to get it out.
Can anyone tell a novice what I need to do to sort this out please?Have you noticed this when you try to open drawer using eject button in the drawer itself?
Almost every player has integrated eject button. Can the drawer be opened using this eject button? -
DVD drive problems : should I buy the new iMac ?
Hello, being new to these discussions, I don't know if this question was answered before.
My last iMac's DVD drive stopped working after 3 years use. And from reading the discussions, this problem seemed quite common.
But 3 years is not bad, considering the posts talking about the DVD drive not working on NEW iMacs.
Does anybody know if Apple is going to do something about this soon ? My computer is a working tool, and I cannot spend time or money on repairs all the time.
Thank you.
A Mac user since 1985+"Well, since nobody has an answer, I suppose I will wait until I no longer see the DVD drive problems on the discussions."+
That might be a while. I bought my iMac Oct. 15 and the DVD drive is already not responding. Backing up files, I had burned 2 DVDs from the same package, Toast says this one is a CD-RW and unwritable, and makes a noise like it's trying to eject it but nothing happens. Disk utility says the DVD drive is empty and nothing shows up in the Finder. Using Terminal (drutil eject) and starting up with the mouse button held down makes the same noise as trying to eject it in Toast, with the same results - nothing.
Still trying to find the receipt to take it back & get it repaired. I sure miss the hole for the paper clip. -
every time I launch the DVD player program it crashes instantly i've tried to restart cause I thought it might need a restart but it still does even after the restart.
I too am having DVD Player problems, though certainly not that consistently. About 1 in 10 times I start up DVD Player it will immediately dim the screen and display in front the multilingual "you must restart your computer" message. Never happened with Tiger, but that was also a different computer. Doesn't matter whether I'm playing a VIDEO_TS folder or whether I'm playing a disc, doesn't matter whether there is even a disc in the player or not. For VIDEO_TS folder doesn't seem to matter if the folder is local or on a network. Also, I have had the same effect when viewing VIDEO_TS movies through Front Row; thus I think the problem may be pretty deep in the OS's video code, perhaps even in the driver. My system has Santa Rosa motherboard with x3100 built-in graphics.

X11 drawing problem after 10.6.3 update.
The latest software update has caused drawing problems in the only X11 application that I need to use.
The application (among other things) draws a tree diagram where boxes are drawn around text. The boxes are connected with lines. The boxes may be filled with a background color.
The issue is that the box outlines, which should be black, either do not get drawn entirely, or are partially drawn. Further more, as the window is resized the outline is drawn with various colors with portions potentially missing. (This is very basic stuff, not likely to be deprecated.)
If I could upload images I could show the effect, since we have a number of workstations without the 10.6.3 update.
Would the moderator (or someone) direct me to the appropriate web site where I could file a bug report about this?
Thanks.
Additional Info:
This app has been working just fine since 1996 till yesterday, when I updated to 10.6.3. The application also works fine with the latest Ubuntu release, the failure is only on Mac OS X 10.6.3.Filed Apple Bug Report 7814332.

Dvd drawer will not close completely. Any suggestions?
I have a HP Pavillion dm4. Operates windows home premium. 64 bit The dvd drawer stopped operating properly. Suggestions? Thx ed
What do you mean by it stopped operating properly? Does it no longer open or does it not read DVDs? Can you explain more on what the issue is?
Thanks

The problem is not so much with Premiere Elements as it is with challenges faces in the operating system registry. Basically, DVD burner programs, like Nero, which are installed on your computer at the factory, refuse to share access to the DVD burner with other programs. -
Whenever i try writing cd's or dvd's,there is always a write error,i've tried writing 5 cd's today and a dvd but not even one completed successfully,any help please?my dvd ram is mat**bleep**a dvd-ram uj-850.
Regards how much space is available on the hard drive there is almost 90Gb of the 160gb available. Regards are we talking about writing or re writing this for writing either to CD or DVD. What ever happens i put in the disc, select the folder and it gives a message saying there is insufficient space on the disc for the files selected try removing some files and try again. This happens even if the folder has a file in it of 200Kb not even a quarter of a Mb. But as i say it reads Cds and DVDs no problem.

Superdrive replaced, DVD-DL problem still exists (sorta)
I have a Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 ghz Intel Xeon - the machine shipped with a SONY superdrive up top, and I installed a Pioneer in the bottom slot.
The SONY drive was able to burn dual layer DVDs - I am using Memorex DVD+DL disks. The SONY drive was NOT able to read the DVD dual layer disks that I burned.
The disks are readable in all other machines in my house (All Macs)
I called Apple, they said this is a known issue, and I needed to swap out my superdrive. I just picked it up from the Apple store and it now has an OPTIARC AD 7170A drive, which I believe is a SONY as well.
I just tried burning a dual layer DVD with the newly replaced drive, and it worked fine the first time, however the verification failed. The 2nd dual layer DVD I tried to burn just plain failed - MEDIUM ERROR.
The drive CAN burn dual layer DVDs, but it CANNOT read them. The drive can read and burn DVDs no problem.
Why on earth would the brand new drive fail to read the dual layer DVDs, but everything else reads just fine???I had very similar problems with the Sony OPTIARC drive in my 2007 Mac Pro (Intel Xeon, 10.4.11).
I found others having the same problems here with the OPTIARC and some said it was 2nd-rate quality. Also - I never liked the noise it made while burning, sounded "cheap."
I got the Samsung Internal DVD/CD 'Super-MultiDrive' DVD DL/CD w/LightScribe. From macsales.com ($29.95 USD). This unit requires you install Patch Burn (software) but runs fine, no more "coasters" from any format DVD, including DVD-R DL (but never tried DVD+R DL). After testing, bought a 2nd one for the lower bay.
The Samsung unit comes with a plastic front (bezel) which must be removed to fit properly. This is easy & quick: illustrated instructions on the macsales.com website.
I wanted the Lightscribe labeling system: no fuss & bother with design / printing labels. Burn DVD, flip it over, launch Lightscribe, enter text in"Edit mode" - click "Print" and 3-4 minutes later your DVD is labeled.
I do wish I could find a way to get both drives working at once (i.e., labeling two DVDs at once, burning two at once). Otherwise: completely satisfied. -
Someone else posted a similar thread, but his issue got resolved. Here's the deal.
I have the system described in my signature. The PSU is not mentioned, but it is an Antec 400W PSU that I bought specifically because it met the suggested requirements set forth in the Trouble Shooting guide (I'd list the amps, but I really don't want to open my computer up right now). Anyways, the screen draw performance is horrible, particularly in Windows Media Player 10 and at http://www.pcpitstop.com during the video test. The odd thing is that when I play games (Rainbox Six 3 Raven Shield for example) I see no problem in video performance. I just reinstalled windows, updated it, and then installed the latest 4in1s and nVidia driver (66.93) and tried it: same problem occurs. I have tried my Mushkin memory as well as some cheap SimpleTech stuff I have, and both give problems. Any suggestions? Do you think this may be a problematic board? Does any other KT880 Delta user have this problem?Quote from: drummer13 on 07-March-05, 15:53:33

There is the URL to the beta bios. It is named as index.zip, but I downloaded it and it is fine. In case the .exe file doesn't work, just download the 1.8 bios file from the kt880 webpage and use it. That was the one I used.
I don't think this is a quality of memory issue. I set one up for my friend with some corsair memory in it and it did the same thing. And the beta bios here (1.9b6) fixed it and mine. I am not sure what exactly it fixes, but it does fix it. My computer was the same. good on games, bad on desktop. It's got me, but all I know is my system is a beast now.
Hope this helps... but remember, don't cry if you blow stuff up using beta anything.
I'm crying now... I recently got a KT880 with 512MB x2 Corsair PC3200 value RAM. Right now not overclocked, DDR set to SPD mode. I was using bios 1.8 and I couldn't install WinXP SP1 or SP2 with "Vlink8X" enabled in the bios. Once disable I can install everything. Even then sometimes my PC will restart itself for no apparent reason, even with onboard Gigabit and AC97 disabled. I tried bios 1.96 and now my PC reboots itself again and again during POST. How I know, the keyboard lights blink every 5 seconds or so. Anyone else experiencing this?

JInternalFrame drawing problem.
Hi gurus
Please could you help with a java problem that I cant find an answer to over the net:
I have a JDesktop which contains multiple JInternalFrames. On one JInternalFrame i have attached a JPanel on which to draw on. I have multiple threads (simple ball shapes) that need to be drawn onto the JPanel and have left it up to the indivual threads to draw themselves (as opposed to using paintComponent in the JPanel class). The drawing on the JInternalFrame works perfectly fine.
The problem arises when the other JInternalFrames are placed on top of each other - the balls are drawn over the top most JInternalFrame. What am i doing wrong? I have attached snippets of the code:
public class Desktop extends JFrame implements ActionListener
public Desktop()
setTitle("Agent's world");
setSize(w,h);
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JDesktopPane desktop = new JDesktopPane();
setContentPane(desktop);
/************* Agent *************/
JInternalFrame agents = new JInternalFrame("Agents War", true, false, true, false);
agents.reshape(0,0,(int)((w/3)*2),h);
Container contentPane = agents.getContentPane();
canvas = new AgentPanel(agents);
contentPane.add(canvas);
/************* Button *************/
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
ButtonGroup buttonGroup = new ButtonGroup();
JButton start = new JButton("START");
start.addActionListener(this);
buttonPanel.add(start);
contentPane.add(buttonPanel, "North");
agents.setVisible(true);
desktop.add(agents);
//sets focus to other frames within the desktop
try
agents.setSelected(true);
catch(PropertyVetoException e)
//attempt to refocus was vetoed by a frame
/** Method to listen for event actions, i.e. button clicks **/
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
//passes through 'this' to allow access to the getList method
Agents agent = new Agents(canvas, this);
agent.start();
public class Agents extends Thread
public Agents(AgentPanel panel, Desktop desktop)
panel =_panel;
desktop = _desktop;
setDaemon(true);
/** Moves the agent from a spefic position to a new position **/
public void move()
Graphics g = panel.getGraphics();
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
try
//set XOR mode
g.setXORMode(panel.getBackground());
//draw over old
Ellipse2D.Double ballOld = new Ellipse2D.Double(i , j, length, length);
g2.fill(ballOld);
i++;
j++;
if(flag == true)
//draw new
Ellipse2D.Double ballNew = new Ellipse2D.Double(i , j, length, length);
g2.fill(ballNew);
g2.setPaintMode();
finally
g.dispose();
/** Activates the Thread **/
public void run()
int i = 0;
while(!interrupted() && i<100)
try
for(i = 0 ; i <100 ; i++)
//draw ball in old position move();
sleep(100);
catch(InterruptedException e)
public class AgentPanel extends JPanel
/** local copy of internal frame */
private JInternalFrame frame;
public AgentPanel(JInternalFrame _frame)

DVD Burn problem. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use"
Hello everyone,
I initially had a lot of problems with PE8. However the nVidia driver update solved most of them.
Just thought it was important to report success as well as failure!
However one problem remains. I get the following error at the 96% mark while burning. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use". It is always at the 96% mark and the program is "compiling [something]" when this happens.
Having searched this site I notice that user rgferg posted a similar problem 13 days ago but was redirected to repost in a different place, but never did.
I have tried to burn a 1hr clip 4 times and every time I have selected the slower burn speed (8MB/s) as has been suggested. It seems that inferior media is a culprit, so I have bought some [quality] Verbatim DVD-R media to try in my Phillips SATA optical drive. I am sceptical this will work, but open minded nonetheless. I will give it a whirl when my computer has stopped capturing the VHS I am working on.
Each time the burn failed the disk was automatically ejected and the burn process had actually started and progressed perhaps ~40% or so.
This indicates to me that it is a drive sharing issue, rather than a media issue. Somewhere on this forum it suggests that I go through a 20+ step process and delete/disable every piece of software that can compete with Premiere among other things. IF I do this what do I burn with outside of Adobe? Do I have to get imgburn or whatever it was called? What if I like Nero? Nero 6 has worked great for me for 3 years.
So given I am willing to uninstall my old optical drive burning software, who out there can recommened commercial software that for them creates a painless Adobe burning experience with no errors or conflicts? Perhaps there is another solution that I did not see on this forum?
I am running Windows XP SP3. I have the latest nVidia drivers for my SLI GeForce 7600 GS cards. I have 3 monitors. RAID 0 SATA, 2GB RAM, Athlon X2 5400.
Justin.OK been working through the list of 20 things Adobe recommends to fix DVD burn error. No luck yet:
system meets minimum requirements
Project size does not exceed disk capacity
successfully burned project to DVD folder -thus skip to step 8.
8. Using new blank media for burning
9. Try different media and DVD burners. Bought Verbatim DVD-R. Don't have another DVD burner. Adobe's supported burner list is VERY short, so of course mine is not on it.
10. Uninstalled Nero 6. Did NOT uninstall Acronis True Image workstation or Lightscribe. These do not access the drive unless I say so!
11. Have not yet disabled startup items and services. This will take a lot of work and will leave to last. Deactivated Spybot thus far.....
12. Disabled IMAPI CD burning COM
13. DMA if available already set. Haven't set this in BIOS yet. I already think it is, but will check next boot.
14. Updated DVD firmware
15. Already updated nVidia drivers
16. Don't have any other DVD drives to disconnect.
17. MPEG workaround. Will resort to if required.
18. Disable Autoplay? XP only has "prompt me each time to choose an action". I have set this for ALL file types.
19. Have NOT refreshed the DVD drivers in the registry. This step involves uninstalling PE8. Will leave this as last resort.
20. Visit forums to see if other have the same problem. Hi guys
So still working through some of the items above.
Can anyone direct me to advice on how to write the encoded files sent to the hard drive, or the VOB files that PE8 failed to burn to a disk? Will the former work with DVD menus?
What a process.
Stay tuned.

My DVD burning problems solved....here's what I did.
Like some of you, I was having MAJOR problems burning DVDs. My initial setup was a dual 2.0 ghz G5 purchased in July of last year, so it came with a 8x burner and iLife '04 (iMovie 4.0.1 and iDVD 4.0.1). Seeing as how I have 1.5gigs RAM and a fairly new system running 10.4.3, I didn't think I was going to have any problems burning DVDs....
HA.
Nothing worked right......a 1-hour long project burned for more than 8 hours without finishing, or iDVD would quit for no reason, or the burn would fail. I noticed that Terminal said that during these burns it was only burning at 4x even though 47x was requested. Chapters were not working. Applecare was not helpful, only suggesting that I try to burn under a new user, and then call them back. That didn't work either.
I probably took the lazy man's way out, but I decided this waste of time was unacceptable. I went out and purchased a 16x SuperDrive Pioneer DVR-110D replacement from MCE for $92, and upgraded to iLife '05 for another $79. I installed the drive myself (VERY easy with the included instructions), and tried the new setup under a newly created user.....
PERFECT burning every time. Not only that, but Terminal showed a requested burn speed of 16x and a burn speed of 16x. A two-hour project is now burning in less than 8 minutes. Multiplexing still takes time, but it's less than 1 hour!
On an interesting side note: when I try to burn under my regular user name, I STILL get an burning error (says image not complete, or incomplete....something like that). But under the user name created just for burning I have no problems. The chapter problem was solved when I stopped putting a chapter marker at the very beginning of my iMovie projects, since iDVD automatically puts one in called "Beginning," which you can change to anything you want.
Maybe this will help others.....
Dual 2Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1.5 gigs RAM, iMovie 5.0.1, iDVD 5.0.1it was only burning at 4x even though 47x was requested.
That's a issue discussed in the past.
It turns out that 8X DVD burning means about 47X CD burning - you were requesting 8X DVD but only got 4X DVD burning.
I haven't seen it discussed anymore so maybe Apple got around to eliminating that 'quirk' in terminology.
I suspect some of the early 8x DVD burners didn't perform as advertised. I'm glad your new 16X burner is working for you. -
DVD Player problem after 10.4.7 upgrade
I don't know if I posted this to the right forum so I'll repost it here. Sorry for the repeat. Compared to others on this forum my problem seems trivial but it is still somewhat annoying. After installing 10.4.7 upgrade combo I can no longer use Apple's DVD player app. The app launches and recognizes DVDs but cannot make it through the title before it hangs. It responds to eject and quit. It informs me that skipping to the next chapter is not permitted and it does not crash. I have tried: dumping the prefs, fixing permissions, and re-running the updater. On the same machine if I reboot onto the other drive with 10.3.9 the DVD player (V 4.0 vs V 4.6.5) works as advertised. Any ideas?
TIA
DaveI HATE FM! OK so I found the problem. I posted and got some ideas. I downloadsd Pacifist and re-installed DVD Player. (one version back 4.5 v 4.6.5) I removed all power from the machine for 10-15 minutes. The problem was still there. After giving up in disgust I left the computer alone for a day. This morning I figure I'll check out a DVD I just made using VLC. (afterall it still worked) So I stick the disk into the drive and DVD Player launches and I'm waiting for it to freeze and....@#% #@*& @#* *# % #*&^@! It works just fine! So I stick in the comercial DVD I had been testing with and its all better now. BUT I DON"T KNOW WHY!
Sorry for the rant.
Thanks for all your kind help.
V/R
