Hi:
The only suggestion I can offer would be to try each of of the resolution steps, 2, 3, 4 and 5 from the link below.

One of them should fix the problem.
#2 is the easiest thing to try first, then just go down the line.

APE12, burned dvds not recognized, bd-r media does not recognized

I have a problem with burning with my PE12, I have a win7 64 bit PC, with following
BD Burner: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH16NS40 from LG
BD-ROM: iHOS104
Problem 1:
=========
All DVDs I burned with PE12 are not recognized on my HiFi BD-Player, ONKYO-BD-SP809
the same DVD is NOT recognized on the BD-ROM in the same PC
the DVD is RECOGNIZED on the burner (see above) in the same PC
Media is 8x DVD-R, and ONYKO and BD-ROM of course supports this type of media and I used the same medias in the past (Verbatim)
Problem 2:
========
I thought, ok, so I burn a BD, I have BD-R media, which worked fine with pinnacle ...
I made a sample project (1min length) and try to burn it, but the burn menu shows the right device (F: in my case and the right name), but it tells me Status: there is no media inside! Allthough the media is inside the BD-Burner.
I am getting mad about it ... anybody can help me out?
P.S:
Burner, BD-ROM, ONKYO and PE are updated to the newest firmare/versions.
Best regards top the community

Thanks for the follow ups.
Premiere Elements 12 DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc that will not play back on the ONKYO player....
If you take the VIDEO_TS Folder from the DVD disc that will not playback as DVD-VIDEO on DVD in your player and look inside it, do you find a file named VTS_01_1.VOB or possibily VTS_02_1.VOB? If so, can you play that file back on one of your computer players? These are video files.
Can you take the Premiere Elements 12 DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and play it back on the computer with Windows Media Player or VLC player?
Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. It should be generated again after you open a new project. Work with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited. The try another burn to DVD, followed by play back on players of interest.
Any progress up this point? If no....
Premiere Elements 12 - Blu-ray disc not being recogized by Premiere Elements 12 burn dialog Status.
This one we will save for the next step. Next step, I am suggesting a

b. Uninstall (Control Panel route)
c. ccleaner run through (regular and registry cleaner parts)

d. reinstall with antivirus and wirewalls turned Off

Burn imovie to dvd-"not recognized"

I spent 5 days and about 26 hours making this iMovie. I bought the **** DVD's to burn it on to 42 of them for work. I finalized the project numerous times, did the "Media Browser" thing and chose the file sizes. I insert the DVD to burn, and it claims that it is "not recognized" in order to burn it. I am beyond frustrated and NO, Apple, I will not give you any more of my money. Helllllllpppp!!!

When you insert the Blank DVD in the finder with nothing else open.
Does the finder recognise the Mounted Blank DVD?
IF it does try burning a small file onto the blank DVD through the Finder.
If it fails what is the error that the Finder tells you?
If this works then proceed
Use a Free App like Burn http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
Drag and drop your movie files then click Burn. Job Done. 
Alternative
you should be able to burn using iDVD.

Empty CD or DVD not recognized

Hi all
After weeks of burning CDs or DVDs without any problems I suddenly get these errors and I cannot burn anymore:
a.) If I load a CD-R I get from the Finder the message "Dieses Medium kann nicht verwendet werden, da es nicht erkannt wird." in english something like "Media cannot used because not recognized ..."
b.) Same message when loading a DVD-R
c.) If I load a CD-R I get from iTunes the message "Der Brenner wird gerade von einem anderen Programm verwendet." what means in english something like "Burner is used by another program ..."
The optical drive can read bought CD (Music) and DVD (Movie) without any problems. So iTunes or DVD-Player can play them without problems.
I'm not sure but could it be there was a bad software update? I remember some days/weeks ago I got a quite huge software update from apple related to the OS, iTunes a.s.o.
In other posts I've read that people had to exchange their optical drives but I don't think this is the problem here because reading runs without any errors.
Thanks for any support.

[CLOSED] CD/DVDs not recognized (hal-less KDE)

Hello everyone,
after the last system upgrade last week CDs and DVDs are not recognized when I insert them in the drive.
I'm running hal-less KDE 4.6 with udisks installed.
I removed hal after the upgrade, however the drive could not recognize the disks even when hal was running.
I searched the forum but haven't found any discussion reporting the very same problem.
Can anyone help me to debug this?
Thanks!

I had the same / similar problem. Just that given that I build my own kernel I thought this was what was causing it. That's why I rebuilded the kernel and enabled ISO and UDF modules in Filesystems. If you're using the standard kernel I have no idea what could be the problem.

DVD--not recognized AND stuck in drive

I've had trouble with my G4 not recognizing DVDs. I just put one in that was burned at a store with a friend's videotape--it never showed up in the finder. When I launch Disk Utility, it hangs. I am using an older keyboard without the disk eject button; I can't get the disk to eject, can't drag it to the trash because it doesn't show up. When I reboot with the mouse button held down, the Mac won't start up--I just get a Windows-like gray screen of death.
I don't know what the drive is--it's an old Super Drive--because the Apple System Profiler also hangs when I click on the "Disc Burning" option.
How do I get the DVD out, and how do I get the G4 to recognize DVDs?
Thanks for any help--Bob

Hi-
Try and open the tower drive cover, and look for a small hole about the size of a paper clip, in the front of the dvd drive. Insert a straightened paper clip in the hole, and you should be able to open the tray.
You should then try your Tiger install disc. (While you're at it, boot from the install disk, and run Disk Utility to repair your hard drive).
If the install disk is read, then the drive is probably okay.
You may consider an "Archive and Install" reinstall of your OS X.
Prior to that, you may consider a reinstall of the OS 10.4.8 combo update:

Tiger install DVD not recognized by G5

Well, this one really takes the cake. I have a G5 single processor. It has a drive that supposedly will read and write both CDs and DVDs, as confirmed by Apple System Profiler. It presently is on OS X 10.3.9 (Build 7W98). The original install disks were 10.3.5.
I just bought a Tiger 10.4 installation disk, which is actually a DVD disk. While the computer was running on 10.3.9, I inserted the Tiger installation disk per instructions. It never appeared on the desktop or finder windows. Eventually, it ejected by itself.
I then tried to boot from the installation DVD, holding down the C key. It would not boot. It eventually ejected by itself, and the computer booted from the internal hard drive.
I tried all the usual steps. I cleaned the DVD. I restarted the computer holding down control-s, and then ran /sbin/fsck. It said the drive is ok. I then booted from my DiskWarrior CD, and rebuilt the disk directory on the internal hard drive. Upon restarting with the internal hard drive, same result. The computer simply will not recognize the DVD at all. Yet, I put it in another Mac computer, and it did appear on the desktop (though I did not install there).
I assumed that if there was one thing that could be counted on to boot up the computer, it would be an OS X install disk. My assumption was wrong. Yet, I can boot the computer in 10.3.9.

I solved my own problem! On the Tiger page there is a link to if your install disk suddenly ejects. I followed their instructions to update my firmware for the DVD drive, and it worked.

External DVD Not Recognized

I have a Sony DWQ28A Dual Layer DVD burner that I have put up as an external drive attaching to a Firewire hub. Tne Mini does not recognize the burner at all. I have tried Disk Utility and there is no drive showing.
I have heard that Patchburn may be a fix but I have also heard that it works and then it doesn't. I have also seen that Toast Lite 6 should be used with this burner in Mac 10.X environments but I am hesitant to go there when the burner is not being recognized at all.
I would rather ask questions beofre I start downlaoding stuff that is not going to do the job.
Any thoughts?

I just got a reply from tech support at Sony concerning my problems with my DRX530UL burner (external DVD burner did not respond properly). They say that it is not supported for Mac at all.
They listed two drives that are supported for 10.2 and up: the DRX720UL/T and the DRX710UL/T. Note: the /T means Mac compatible! The drives with the same model numbers and no /T are NOT Mac compatible!
The 710 has a slower sustained and burst data rate, (16MB/s vs 21, and 66mbps vs 480mbs), and the 720 comes with Nero and Toast Lite.
Both drives do DVD-R/-RW, DVDR/+RW/+RDL/RWDL, etc etc.
My burner is several years old, and at $180usd, I can afford to upgrade to DL support.
I guess the moral of the story is that if Sony doesn't say it's Mac-compatible, it's pot luck.

CD/DVD not recognized when booted in OS 9

Hi,
I have a PB G4 667 titanium (the gigabite ethernet model) that can boot into OS 9. I normally run OS 10.4.5. I recently re-installed OS 9.2.2 using a generic install disk (not the one that came with this specific model). It boots fine into OS 9, but it will not recognize CD's or DVD's or some extensions, like Apple DVD player (which says it is missing a .lib file.
I also had a new upgraded SuperDrive (MCE Technologies) before I had to re-install OS 9. I didn't try to run OS 9 and see if the drive worked after it was installed, so I don't know if that might be the problem. I tried to load the driver into the extension folder, but there was no folder called "Supporting Authoring files" like the read me text said there should be for OS 9.
Any suggestions as to how to get OS 9 to recognize my CD/DVD's?

HI, marbot61. It sounds to me as though the problem is not that discs aren't recognized, but that your drive itself is not supported by your OS 9 installation — and perhaps it isn't supported in OS 9, period. Call MCE and ask for help setting OS 9 up to support the drive.
If you used a model-specific OS 9 installer disk that came with some other Mac, rather than a retail OS 9.2.1 disc (white, with a big gold 9 on its label) or the installer disk that originally came with your Powerbook, that may be the problem. It may be essential for you to use the disk that was shipped with the Tibook to install OS 9 on it. You should never expect to get a functional OS 9 installation from an installer disk that is specific to any model other than the one you're installing it on, and MCE will be justified in telling you they can't support your drive until you have a proper OS 9 installation on the Powerbook.

DVDs not recognized

On my MacBook Pro the DVD superdrive suddenly stopped recognizing DVD disks. They never show up in the Finder and are ejected after about 30 seconds. CDs mount fine, even DVD burning works fine.
I already tried resetting the SMC and PRAM. Nothing helped.
Does anybody have any ideas what else to try?
Thanks a lot!
The DVD drive is a Matshita DVD-R UJ-857, Revision HAEA

I have had exactly the same issue Powerbook G4 1.67 was burning several disks to day then all of a sudden the mac would not recognise a disk to burn, they are bog standard TDK DVD-R disks. so I have tried all the usual of running updates have updated to 10.5.2, installed the graphics card update and still no luck. There does not appear to be any reference from Apple to this problem so not at all sure what to do next.
Have reset power management
Have reset PRam
Have rebuilt permissions
not much else I can think of doing to fix it

Dvd not recognized

I have a Mac Book Pro 15 inch mid 2009 and dvd's are no longer recognized.
What is my problem and can it be fixed? OS 10.9.3

apele, welcome to the discussions.
As far as I know your Optical Drive will not handle DVD+ MEDIA at all.
You may even have trouble with some of the higher speed media as well.
I think if you check, and be sure to read the packaging.
I have been using Maxell DVD-R that boasts 1X-16X and will burn on your Drive.
Cheers Don
