Dvd jammed in my Imac,

Hi, can anyone help? I have a DVD jammed in my Imac, i have tried all the eject stuff but i think the problem is there is not only the DVD but the plasic protector disc at the end of the pack. It keeps trying to eject all the time but nothing as yet and don't want to really start messing too much with it.
Any advice would be great!

Hi Ralph, many thanks for that. just typical trying to do a rush job before the holidays! I will try to get to my local shop and see if they can help. I have seen many people stating shoove this in and take the front off, no thank you!!
Have a great Xmas and thanks for the reply

How can I watch a DVD playing on my iMac on my TV using Apple TV?

You can't. The only way is to transfer the movie to your computer and import to iTunes (making sure it is compatible) and either use home-sharing or airplay the movie off an ios device.

I have burned pictures to a dvd off of my iMac. When I try to view them on my macbook I can only look at one picture at a time. Is there anyway to view as a slideshow?

DVD will play on iMac, not on DVD player

I'm burning dual layer DVDs from iDVD. The DVDs won't play on my DVD player, but will play fine using the DVD player on the iMac. Anyone have any idea why?

But for 6 hours of VHS video, it will take two DL DVD disks.
You might want to think about importing the footage into iMovie and editing it.
I put footage from about 35 VHS tapes and about 40 Hi-8 tapes onto miniDV tapes for importing into iMovie and found that there was a quite a bit of bad footage: shots of ceilings and floors, jerky movements, shots of nothing important. With good editing, the footage total time length was cut down, and I have been able to use single-layer DVDs for all my iMovies. I have put our family's photos and videos onto DVDs in chronologic order. I have now done 30 years worth--the last 10 years were recorded onto miniDV tapes so no conversion needed. Some years took only one DVD; other years had to go on several; a couple of years we were very busy on trips/doing plays and sports and it took 5 or 6 disks for the year.
If you are not interested in editing, you wouldn't need to use a computer, just get one of those VHS-DVD converting machines.

A duplicate DVD made on my iMac will not play on it although the original DVD will play on it and on my TV. Answers?

I made a duplicate of a DVD on my iMac but it will not play on it. The original DVD plays on my iMac. The duplicate will play on my DVD player with my TV. The original DVD is not a copyrighted commercial DVD.

That doesn't create a DVD. It makes a copy of the files on the DVD. All you did was put data files on the disk. A disk must be formatted correctly for a DVD player to recognize it as a DVD.
Use Disk Utility to make an image of the DVD, then burn the image to Disk.
File menu, New>Disk Image from <DVD name>
Set the image format to DVD/CD Master.
Once the image is finished, select it in the Disk Utility Sidebar and click the Burn button.

DVD Plays on one iMac/Not another

I've got 2 iMacs running 10.5.6.
I've created a DVD on a Sony RDR-VXD655 digital DVD/VHS recorder/player.
DVDs created on the Sony will play on one iMac and not the other. On the one it won't play on the recorded DVD shows up as a blank DVD. The problem iMac plays commercial DVDs just fine.
I've tried to see what video utilities I have on the iMac that works and transfer them to the one that doesn't, but no luck. The only thing I haven't installed is Final Cut Express.
Any suggestions?
Thanks... DHK

Contrary to popular belief, burning at the highest speed(s) are not recommended.
Burn at the slowest speeds that the discs can use.
When I would burn video dvd's. The newer drives had no problems, but the older drives wold complian, and spit out the discs.
I burn at the slowest speeds, now all of my dvd players are happier.
Just my $0.02 worth

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

DVD Stuck in my Imac

*I have a DVD stuck in my iMac, can't see it on the desk top! Can I manually eject it, if so how?*
Help?
Minchroadster

Hi Minchroadster
Open Disk Utility and select the DVD's image in the left column, then go up and hit the blue eject button. If for some unknown reason the DVD's image is not shown in Disk Utility, restart your Mac holding the mouse button to eject the DVD.

Can you put the small DVD discs from a camcorder in the DVD slot of the iMac?

Stupid question...can you put the small DVDs from a camcorder in the DVD slot of the iMac?

That could be a challenge. If I am not mistaken that camera strictly records to DVD - RW and has no digital output connectors, is that right?
My only experience with a camera like that was a bad one. I was able to get the video off the disc using a tray-loading iMac but it was painfully slow.
iMovie (for example) is designed to work with camcorders such as those specified in this reference:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
I cannot find the DCR-DVD92 in that database
You might consider finding an external USB slot-loading DVD drive, but as I say my experience was painfully slow, and you might run into file format compatibility challenges.
I am sure it's possible but it won't be as easy as importing video from something like an iPad or iPhone. I still use a camcorder on occasion but it has a FireWire port. That's easy.

Have you tried one of those CD cleaning Discs yet?
Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.

Question about multizone DVD player plugged to iMac ?

I want to buy a multizone DVD player to plug to my french iMac. How will it react to NTSC signal ? In short, does the monitor play NTSC/PAL ?

Hi-
Please clarify- exactly how do you intend to connect your "multizone DVD player" to your iMac?
Is it a USB device, or something else? Are you using a TV tuner card, like an elgato, or something else?
You are aware that generally speaking that it is not possible to connect a DVD player to your iMac as if the iMac is a TV, right?
The only way you can connect a device like a DVD to an iMac directly is if you have one of the new 27 inch iMacs, and you make a connection with the mini display port.
Any other iMac will require either some sort of USB connection (assuming that the DVD device is just a DVD drive, and not a dedicated player), or an Analog/Digital converter of some sort, like a TV tuner USB device, etc.

What is this error mean? The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/James Kranz's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use.

I'm using the newest Time Capsule (2T) and I just got this error.
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/James Kranz’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.
It has been running fine (so it think) since I got it a few months ago.

This is your Time Machine backup image on your Time Capsule or other networked storage device that you are using for your backups. To clear this problem, try restarting your Mac, but if that does not work then restart your backup device. Doing these should clear the process that is usiing the bundle, and allow your Mac to properly attach it for use.

IDVD movie plays on DVD player not on imac

Have burnt DVD using iDVD plays fine on DVD player but not iMac that created it. Shows movie as VLC files

Hi
If it follow DVD Standard - as it use to be when created in iDVD. You see at least two folders on the DVD
- VIDEO_TS
- AUDIO_TS (empty and must be so)
Then the usual origin to this problem are:
- Brand of DVD used (Many Cheap brands DO NOT WORK as Video-DVDs) - I only use Verbatim
- BURN SPEED - If this is not set down there are LOT's of Burn Errors - Many stand alone DVD-Players can handle this but the Mac is very picky - I always set this down as slow possibly (x2 most often ev. x4 NEVER HIGHER)
Yours Bengt W
