DVD not working on standalone player

I burned a DVD of a bunch of pictures for my grandmother, and it won't play on her DVD player. It spins and spins and says it can't find the disk. She has a brand new DVD player. Can anyone tell me if I did something wrong when I burned it? The DVD works fine within my computer on my internal DVD player.
Thanks! ~Serene

I also tried the DVD on another standalone player, and it didn't work there either. So it works on my computer's DVD player, but nowhere else. Do I need to format it another way? I wish iDVD was more specific on this. It doesn't say anything about burning for stand-alones.
There is no formatting issue in iDVD; its purpose is to create DVD's that will play on standard players. I suggested trying another player just as a precaution. Some users have gone through many procedures trying to resolve a problem only to find out that the problem originated in the player.
It is a Memorex DVD+R DL. 8x. I don't really know what that means.
DVD+R and DVD-R are two types of DVD. Read this article for more info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD%2BR
I think I burned at max speed.
8x is related to the speed at which the disk can be burned. The veteran posters on these forums recommend a burn speed of 4x or lower.
Even though your DVD plays correctly on your computer, it is possible that your disk has errors resulting from the burning process. The advice in Bengt's post has many useful tips on how to avoid these errors.

DVDs created in Elements 8 do not work on standalone players

Hi,
I've been using Elements 7 on Windows 7 before Elements 8 was released.
The source of video is a SD HDD-camcorder and for all the projects I created 4.7 gb dvd-folders, then using a seperate dvd-writing software to burn to discs.
Now since Elements 7 wasn't officially supported I upgraded to Elements 8, but the problem is that the dvds created - although same workflow, do not work on standalone dvd players.
Now, the source is the same, I've tried diffrent dvd-media (dvd+r, dvd-r) and diffrent software for writing dvds, and i've tried four diffrent dvd players and only one player is able to playback the elements 8 dvds.
The dvds are of the type Autoplay-dvd.
I assume given these combinations i've tried - the process of compiling a dvd has changed in Elements 8 as compared to Elements 7 which then outputs less compatible dvd-folders.
Googling around on the term "Opendvd" i found a concept of DVD-V and DVD-R and a knowledge base article on Microsoft hinted that these are diffrent modes of dvd-video or something and I'm wondering if this might be the reason - regardless of it, i've no idea how to fix it so i really need help on solving this issue,
hope somebody can help.

Okay, I took an even more systematic approach to this problem yesterday,
here's what i did (all burning done in cdburnxp),
1. using a dvd+rw disc i burned an older dvd-folder which i knew worked - worked fine in player, this was just to confirm that the player could indeed play back dvd+rw/media.
2. using the same disc i burned a dvd-folder which was created in elements7 - it worked.
3. using the same disc i encoded a project created in elements 7 loaded in elements 8 - it worked
4. using the same disc - i tried once again tried to create a new project added one old video file too see if there might be something wrong with the source video.
At this point i also did some research using the Get Media Info option in premiere, and the framerate for the same file was reported as 29,97 and 25 depending on where on the harddrive i tested it - might be because premiere adds some metadata to it.
5. using the same disc - i reencoded an elements 8 project which didn't work on standalone players, burned the dvd folder - it worked
At this point i was thinking, okay, maybe the Media I did use orignally wasn't compatible, so i gave it another shot in #6 and #7.
6. Using a dvd-r i burned the image from step #5 -burned at 16x - it worked.
7. Using a dvd+r I burned the image from step #5 - burned at 16x - it also worked!
Now the confusion is complete for my part - and I can not find any conclusive reason for the misbehaviour orignally reported.
Seems like either Premiere Elements or the media was having a bad hair day when I originally reported this problem.

NetStream.send not working in Flash Player 11.2 Beta with Cirrus, Please confirm if it is a bug

Title
NetStream.send not working in Flash Player 11.2 Beta with Cirrus, Please confirm if it is a bug or feature
Description
Problem Description:
NetStream.send can not send data to peerstreams when using with cirrus. Conflict with documents.
Sorry for tag the build as 11.0.1.3 while the bug is actually on 11.2 beta since the bug report system didn't have 11.2 beta yet.
If you are not responsible for 11.2 beta bug fix, please help a hand to handle this bug to 11.2 team.
This bug is "killing" to your application, so we really appreciate your help. Thanks.
==Publisher==
nc.connect("rtmfp://");
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc, NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS);
ns.publish("sendtest");
...//after connection success.
ns.send("clientfunction", "ok"); // this line cannot reach subscribers. even if subscribers have client object correctly.
==Subscriber==
nc.connect("rtmfp://");
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc, cirrusid);
var client:Object = new Object();
client.clientfunction = clientfunction; // target function
ns.client = client;
ns.play("sendtest");
Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile the code in the attachment to SendTestExample.swf (not be able to paste it here)
2. run it under flash player 11.2.202.19 beta
3. run it under flash player 11
Actual Result:
HeartBeat is:
Start HeartBeat:
send hello
send hello
send hello
which means NetStream.send was not able to call "clientfunction" as expected.
Expected Result:
Start HeartBeat:
send hello
in client function: hello
send hello
in client function: hello
send hello
in client function: hello
which can call into the clientfunction as flash player 11 did.
Any Workarounds:
I can not find it out since it's an api level bug. But this can be very important for lots of applications which rely on send to do rpc.

in GETURL function , It is not working in flash player 9.0.124.0.

=always then its working fine.but my question is what will happed
if they will introduce any new flash version in future please tell
me what is the permanent solution for this issue.

There is no way to know what will change in the future. This
is the solution that works now. It will probably remain in place
for the reasonable future.

Go to your actual realplayer (program), click the top right button (Realplayer with an downwards arrow) and update your software. Make sure Firefox is closed while you do this.

I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash player on some of my favorite web sites. Is there any alternative that will work on I-pad instead of flash?

I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash Player on some of my favorite web sites! Is there another alternative to watching these site options on my I-pad?

Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices - something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

New Applications model DOES NOT work with StandAlone OSD media

If you are able to create StandAlone OSD media, the new Applications model DOES NOT work with it.
- The creation of the media will be successful
- The application installation itself will be successful
Yet after the application is installed, it shows the correct process it needs to complete based on the return code in AppEnforce log, but does not process that information back to the the TS Manager so it appears to attempt to download a policy which fails
causing the task sequence to error out..
Thanks,
Squirre1

It is very similar to this description:
http://madluka.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/error-0x8000405-when-installing-applications-to-a-workgroup-system-during-build-and-capture-task-sequence/
It is using the application model, since it is not attached to the domain it is on a workgroup. But it is on standalone media and not during a build and capture sequence, it is during an OSD. But alot of the same puzzle pieces fit. Basically pointing to
the new applications model not working during standalone OSD when the MP is not available. i would say that not enough information is getting encapsulated into the Application when exported onto the StandAlone media.

DVDSP v 1.5 +OS 10.4.9 = DVDs play in a standalone player, not apple player

I recently upgraded my OS to 10.4.9, but my DVDSP is version 1.5. Now it will "build" dvds, but it won't "build and format" (burn) dvds. Does this have something to do with quick time 7?
ALSO: I burned the audio TS and video TS folders to a DVD - and it plays, but only in my stand alone DVD player. When I try to play it on my computer Apple DVD player says disc is not supported. What's going wrong?
I Mac Flat Panel Mac OS X (10.4.9)
I Mac Flat Panel Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Turthfully I am suprised DVD SP even runs at all on 10.4.9. It stopped being usuable awhile ago in OS terms. Is your iMac also an Intel Machine? If so you would need the Universal Binary
As to getting something to play that works on standalones but not the Apple Player, it is strange. How did you burn it since the Format from DVD SP is not working?

DVD Studio Pro dvd not working in dvd player

Hi There,
I'd really appreciate your help.
I've burnt a dvd using DVD SP - it reads 'formatting succesful' and ejects the disk.
It works on my mac but not on my dvd player - it reads 'disk error'.
Here's the thing: I've burnt it with ToastTitanium and it works on my dvd player.
So it's not the dvds I'm using that's the problem.
I've checked other forums and I've unchecked the box 'lossless linking' - still not working.
I'm desperate.
Please help.

Hey Mate,
Merry Christmas!
Just to be clear, here is a screenshot with a new project with no media, no template, no first play set etc...
And as you can see DVD Standard is greyed out.
Bizarre...

Windows 8.1 DVD not working

Microsoft removed the ability to play DVD's in Windows Media Player in Windows
8. You can download the free VLC
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html player or spend some money to
enable the Feature Pack which will enable playback in Windows Media CENTER but
not Windows Media PLAYER.
Windows 8.1 pro has Media Center/ Windows 8.1 does not and Microsoft req an upgrade to the pro. I found that the file above allows me to watch DVDs. I have attempted to ts with HP, my harddrive and DVD have been replaced and I was still not able to watch or burn Any DVD or CD put in drive was rebooting my PC... I dl VLC and now I can play DVD, still not able to burn. Just thought the above info would be helpful to your tech you now have. Years ago Hp use to have a very good support center.

What HP system SKU did you purchase? There are patches to get back these features if you have switched your HDD out.

Unable to make a DVD to play on standalone player from DVDSP4

This post summarizes a problem I wrote in about last week. DVDSP4 on my main g5 will not burn a simple DVD to play on a standalone player. My second g5 can do this. This rules out problems with external players and media. I have uninstalled reinstalled the software and it still won't do it. Before that I had tried deleting the preferences. It has been able to create disks that play on the computer's own DVDPLAYER.
I have to fix this problem. What's the next logical step? A new burner? Is there something I'm missing re: the computer itself? (which seems okay.)
Chris

Take a look here for some media brands (did not see HP or who makes it). Verbatim are usually good for +R DL and Taiyo Yuden -R for single sided. (Many people swear by TYs, the DL is a bit more open)
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
Image to disk
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
It sounds like something fishy is going on with the machine, but worth trying other media. You may also want to try to build to another location and make sure you are formatting from there. Perhaps somehow you are using an older build?
Also check your VTS view and try making the first play VTS 1 (even if it is only a few seconds of black).
But it does sound like something on the burner itself may be off. Try the disc image as a start or use Toast if you have it. (I seem to get more reliable burns that way as oppossed to using DVD SP)

Quicktime plugin for screen capture does not work in flash player 11.2

Hello,
I have created a quicktime plugin (it is .component file) for screen sharing purpose.
I have used quicktime framework for that. plugin is detected in flash player.
This plugin is working perfectly for flash player 11 and below.But,
It does not working in latest flash player 11.2.
I have seen following error on console -
Google Chrome Helper EH[240:e92b] *** QTCaptureSession warning:
Session received the following error while decompressing video:
Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-8974
"The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -8974.)".
Make sure that the formats of all video outputs are properly configured
Note - Compression format used in plugin is kBMPCodecType.
Please, help me.

The issue ended up being the change in resolution to my external monitor. Flash was unable to detect the proper coordinates of the color I was trying to select because I was running my monitor in HD mode rather than selecting an actual resolution from my monitor preferences. Changing the settings to an acutal resolution, instead of generic "HD mode" fixed the issue.

Why will a Leopard backup DVD not work on G5.

A couple of Leopard issues:
1, When I a make a dvd backup of my Leopard dvd using either Disk Utility or Toast it will work fine on the intel but will be spit out of the G5. The G5 cannot make double layer so I must rely on a computer that does! My G4 can make double layer but it is 400 miles away now! When is a copy not a copy?
2, Leopard disk utility repair permissions takes a long long time. It gives the errors discussed on other posts but why such a long time?? By the way, the Diskwarrior site gives some cautions about repairing permissions but does not address the inordinate amount of time, with respect
to Tiger, issue.
Other than the above and some applications no longer launching or working properly I appear to have two stable systems working. As I have done for years I install a new OS on an external drive, find out what works and what don't and in a few weeks upgrade the main drive. I usually use Supperdupper but found out it does not work on Leopard, a least for me! So I have not yet figured out how to make an archive copy of a Leopard system. Hard drives are like people, they eventually die. I have not tried a restore using Time Machine so I do not have any faith in it yet!

The fact that your G5 cannot make a dl DVD means nothing. I am sure it can read it, and that's all that counts. If you can play a movie on the G5, it can read a dual-layer DVD. You have some other issue there.
I would also point out that not all DVD DL blanks are equal and some machines can only read the + and some only the - types. A homemade dual-layer DVD is not the same as a commercial one.

This is a known "issue" which has been discussed here many times. We do not know why it takes a long time. Only Apple knows.

Have you looked into CarbonCopy which claims to be Leopard compatible?

Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.
Thanks,
