DVD not working.

I burned a DVD I made that had videos from iMovie but the DVD is not working. The DVD is in 16:9 and in a 7.0 theme. The iMovies are 960x540 (and 1280x720 which didn't work either.) I burned one DVD with only 960x540 (.mov) movies and another DVD with only 1280x720 movies but neither of them worked. The main DVD menu doesn't even show up. The CDs I used are DVD-R. Anyone have any suggestions on how it can work?? I'm completely stuck.

Hi
In iMovie ? No - can't figure how that would work.
*Play all resp one chapter at a time in iDVD*
Play All Button
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easies and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Never tested though.
• Using another program to do this eg. Roxio Toast™ where there ia a Play All button option.
Mike Evangelist1
You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.

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?

Tiger 10.4.2 Installation DVD Not Working

I a few months ago I had to repair my startup disk (Error: Volume Header needs minor repair).
I rebooted using the 10.4.2 Install DVD supplied with my ibook.
I held down the C key during the restart and continued to hold it down. After about 30 seconds the optical drive stopped spinning and kicked out the DVD. The computer then booted using the startup disk on my hard drive.
I contacted applecare and they sent me out a replacement set of 10.4.2 DVDs. I used them and they worked fine (I only used them once).
After few days ago I encountered the same error on my hard drive (Error: Volume Header needs minor repair). I tried both sets of install DVDs (install disk 1) but the optical drive kicked the DVDs out when attempting reboot.
I called applecare and they advised me to take it into a service centre as it could be the Logic Board playing up.
This morning I thought I would try the install disks again. Whilst the original install disk did not work, the replacement one did and I was able to repair the startup disk on my hard drive.
Can someone please advise me what is going on?
Please note: My ibook reads audio CDs and movie DVDs properly with no problem.
Many thanks

If I were you, I would bring it in for service, as suggested. If you've got the right disk, and a new one at that, it shouldn't spit it out even if it couldn't startup from it.

Replacement install DVDs not working (possible serial number problem?)

I have been sent two sets of Mac OS X install DVDs as my old disk 1 was too scratched by my (now replaced) faulty optical drive.
I asked for a disk 1 and disk 2 replacement and they sent them.
First of all i dont know which is disk 1 or 2 as they arent written on the disk, only "Macbook pro Mac OS X install dvd" and "Mac OS X install dvd"
The first set disk 1 serial number was - 2Z691-5841-A
The second set disk 1 serial num was - 2Z691-5948-A
My ORIGINAL disk 1 serial number is - 2Z691-5967-A
My question is do the serials matter if it is still OS X?
I attempted to install with both these and the Macbook PRo stayed on Grey screen then just spat them both out, where as with my original it goes through the install process (but can not finish due to the scratches)
I called Apple again today when i got them and he said it was the laptop, however i know it isnt as my original disk boots to the install screen where as theirs dont, he said he would send the version of disk with my original serial and see if this works.
So.....does the serial matter? I think he said there are three "versions" of disk 1, and my understanding was you can not use any of these unless it is with that specific version also of macbook pro.
Thanks

I purchased it directly from Apple on the Apple website.
I told the guy at applecare the number on my original install disk 1 and he said he would send that one.
Then i called again later to ask if they needed the serial of my actual macbook pro, he took it and said it looks like they have already ordered the correct CD.
I HOPE it will be here Friday, waiting yet another week.
If it does not work i cant think of anything, my originml works and the laptop has NOTHING installed on it, free hard drive....soooo all i can think of is taking it to an apple store with ALL the disks they have sent me and see if they know whats going on.

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...

Burn to dvd not working

I am new to Final Cut Pro. I created a project, then burned it to a dvd with no problem. I later edited the project, then tried to burn that to a dvd and it will not burn.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong. With the project selected, I insert the DVD and wait for Finder to recognize it. I then go to Share>Burn DVD. I used the default settings both times as far as I know. There has to be a setting or something that I am missing. I am using a new DVD with nothing on it, not the same one as the first time.

Sounds like you made a data DVD, not a video DVD that will play in a DVD player or in a computer optical drive. (And I had read your initial post to mean that your disk was recognized in the Finder.)
If you do want a video DVD, then use Share>Burn DVD. If you want a data DVD, export a movie…using say, the Mac & PC setting in Apple Devices and then burn it in the Finder.
But I'm getting ahead of myself…which kind of DVD do you want?

[Athlon64] CD / DVD not working properly, Neao K8T800 Pro series.

Hi all,
I purchased a MSI K8t Neo2 motherboard along with a AMD 64 3200+ (socket 939) in the beginning of May.
When i installed the parts in my case I experienced some problems getting windows (which I reinstalled) to detect all the Harddrives i had.
I solved this by putting 3 HDD's on one IDE interface, and 1 on a separate controllercard. on the other IDE interface i put my Sony DRU-700A DVD alone.
This worked, to a certain extent.. When I place a disc in the DVD, windows gets a hizziefit and starts to lag insanely, when it's finally done, it won't autostart the discs i put in, i can't double-click it from My Computer as i get the error:
"F:\
Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteprocessMemory request was completed."
Doesn't tell me much.. I then try ro right-click F: and select "exlore", AHA! this works. I get into the disc and i can move around in the foldertrees, but it takes time.. My GOD it takes time...
When i finally reach my destination and try to execute a .exe file, this happens:
"F:\ is not a valid win32 application".
At this point one starts to think: "ok.. i know that.. but the exe-file i tried to start IS..."
NOTE: From time to time i've noticed that it switched between these 2 error messages, i.e i get the "not valid" when trying to start the disc and the "ReadError" when starting a .exe-file, and vice versa.
I have the latest bios, i have tried adding a LG CD-R/W tp the process and tested if that worked, see results here: www.vikholm.se/say_what.gif
I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but i know that CAN'T be right?
I then went into the Device Manager and selected "uninstall" on my Sony DVD, thinking it has to find new hardware on reboot and reinstall it. Windows finds nothing, and i can't seem to get it back again..
Anyways, i noticed that 2 updates to my mobo was avaliable through MSI Live Update, so i choose the newer one and install it, thinking it might solve this problem.
Select reboot -> Click "exit now" on firefox.exe -> run for work as i', late -> come home now just to see that windows did NOT reboot as i got an error code from some exe-file.
Anyways, reboot properly this time and half-way through the boot up it reboots again, and at the loadingscreen where you can see the biosversion and such it says:
"Sec Master drive is not ATAPI compatible
F1 to Resume"
This is my LG CD-R/W. I press F1 and it boots just fine, and i see that my LG is no longer avaliable in My computer.
These are my problems.
To sum things up:
1. Could it be my mobo that is screwed up in the IDE interfaces?
2. Could it be my IDE cables? (i don't have any others to try with =( )
3. I've been in contact with Sony's support, accordign to their firmware testers and producttest programs, my device worked as it should.
4. Anyone have any tips on how to get my Sonydevice back to windows without reinstalling windows? It not, i'll just have to reinstall.
5. If all else failes, can anyone lend me a handgun so i can end my misery?
Thanks a million for reading and if you have the slightest idea of what might fix ANY of the problems stated above, do not hesitate to post. Please.
Milk and cookies for anyone who helps me solve this

The promise controller is simply there to add to their Sata Raid ability. It is not for opticals.
Then let's do some RTFM:
Quote
Pages 1-2 and 1-3
Promise 20579 On-Board (Optional)
>Supports two SATA and one IDE
- RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 supported
- RAID function work with ATA133+SATA H/D or two SATA H/DConnect up to two SATA devices (such as SATA HDD, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM and
two ATA133 devices
> SATA 150MB/s with extensions (SATA II Phase I)
> RAID Smart function
> SATA ATAPI device compatible
That clearly states the ability to get opticals connected. It is admitted, that there only SATA opticals are mentioned.
Quote
Page 2-18
Parallel ATA/Serial ATA RAID Connectors controlled by Promise
20579: IDE3/SER1/SER2 (Optional)
The brand new Promise 20579 chipset supports one IDE connector IDE3 and two
serial connectors SER1& SER2.
IDE3 is a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA 66/100/133 controller that provides
PIO mode and DMA mode 0~5, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 66/100/133 function. You
can connect up to 2 hard disk drives---one IDE master and one IDE slave.
Other devices than HDDs are not mentioned in the IDE3 section.
Conclusion: According to the documentation, opticals can be connected to the promise controller, at least if they are connected to the SATA-interface.
Own experiments show:
If an optical drive is connected to IDE3, the promise controller detects it correctly. If a bootable media is inserted, it is detected as bootable by the controller BIOS.
An old LD 8240 CD-Writer (only MWDMA2/PIO4 capable) works partly, if attached to IDE3, but there are errors. Playing Audio CDs and DAE generates drop-outs. CD burning results in corrupted data on the media.
If I connect a LG 4163B DVD-Writer, there are no issues concerning CD-playback or DAE. CD-recording was not tried out. The DVD-RAM feature fails, possibly due to driver interference.
This shows, that there at least a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive (PATA) might work on the promise controller, but that also depends on the drive itself.

MacBook Pro mid 2010, gray screen at start up, boot from dvd not working.

Backstory:
I was in the process of installing Windows 7 using boot camp, but I was a little bit low on HD space. So, I deleted the user account that had a ton of stuff, and did some other crap that messed up my hard drive. So my computer just won't boot. It shows a gray screen 24/7, going into safe boot/safe boot + verbose doesn't fix the problem. I tried booting from an OSX Leopard dvd, but it won't work when I hold down C, and when I choose the Mac OS X Install DVD option after holding the option key, when I click the arrow button it freezes and doesn't boot. I have Lion installed, and apple says not to boot with an older version of OSX DVD, but there is no Lion DVD.
What do I do?
PS: I'm trying to boot using the DVD so I can reformat my hard drive, trying to do so in Recovery HD doesn't work because it says it 'Can't unmount drive'.

Rockswim,
did it do that only once, or does it do that every time you restart it?

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.

Enhanced dvd not working

For some reason, a set of educational enhanced DVD's suddenly quit working. I checked the device drivers - working. I tried restore points - did not help anything. I restored my computer back to factory condition - everything works except these dvds. Its as if they are not even being read, but the lights turn on and look like it is. I've tried other cd/dvd's and they all seem to work, but there is no reason for these DVD's to just suddenly fail. Any help appreciated.

Hey plain4him,
I'm sorry you're running into this DVD issue. If other DVDs and CDs work, then the DVD drive hardware is good. CDs/DVDs do fail, especially if they are of lesser quality (mass-produced CD/DVDs are more likely to be of lesser quality) or if they are read from or written to often.
It could also be that if there is a certain flash or Java requirement for the content on the disc to run, maybe that requirement needs to be updated. Java updates come out pretty often. You can check the system requirements for that software on the program's website. I could help you with finding that information, if you could let me know the name of the program on the discs.

DVD not working but works in Sim

My project was completed in Final Cut and exported in Compressor. Imported all assets into Studio Pro and after setting all required settings, I burned the DVD. The DVD will play for 28:30 then freezes. The simulator works beautiful with viewing all the way through. I have tried completely rebuilding the project twice in studio pro but to no avail I get the same result 28:30. I have another sequence in the same final cut program and that one stops at 5:03. I am running out of time for this project and need to get it out the door.

Where does the final DVD fail? Set top DVD Player? or DVD Player Application on the computer?
Did you try just opening the Video_TS folder with DVD Player Application prior to burning it (i.e. from the hard drive)?
If it works on the computer, but not on a set top player, then you probably have too high a bit rate at the point where it fails. What settings did you use in Compressor? Another possibility is bad media but if you tried it several times and it fails the same place each time, that's not very likely.

Compaq Presario CQ62 DVD not working after Windows 7 automatic install of upgrades

The DVD in my Compaq CQ62 stopped working after Windows 7 automatically installed updates. The driver seems to be corrupted. When I open Device Manager, the DVD comes up as hp DVD RW AD-7701H SATA CdRom Device and the device status displays...A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32).. There are two drivers installed--cdrom.sys from Microsoft, File Version 6.1.7600.16385(win7_rtm.090713-1255) and PxHlpa64.sys File Version 2.03.32a from Sonic Solutions. If anyone knows the link to download the new driver or how to resolve this problem please let me know.

We are not sure what might have caused this issue. You may try removing the affected filter drivers and check. This has helped few.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start , type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
2. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
3. In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
5. In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
Note After you remove the UpperFilters registry entry and the LowerFilters registry entry, you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall any affected programs.

Photoshop 5 Vista OS DVD Not working

I cannot make backups of my catalogs on my Vista computer from Photoshop Elements 5.
The CDDVDW is a TSST Cop. TSH653Q drive. Photoshop tells me the driver is not loaded, Install Photoshop. I do the install and the same thing happens. When attempting to do a Catalog backup to the DVD drive (in my case drive F) isn't showing up on the list of available drives. Please note I have down loaded Photoshop 5.02 and have the same results. I enjoy the Photoshop product and being able to backup my pictures is important to me. I have Photoshop 5 running in a Toshiba Laptop the OS is XP all works fine but because the laptop was being bogged down by photoshop I purchased a desktop. It is a HP dual core pavilion with Vista as the OS.
I hope you can help me with this problem I enjoy photoshop and have invested a lot of time in my pictures.
Thanks in advance
Jerry

Hi Joe
Sorry for the slow response. My wife and I went Geocaching yesterday, we biked and hiked 6+ miles so these old bones were tired. I did get some good photos though. As far as Adobe and Photoshop elements 5 is concerned I feel it is a great and very powerful bit of software. It has given me many hours of productive enjoyment and enabled me to improve my photos. So I will probably upgrade soon. I do want to thank you for your time and efforts to assist me in straightening out my DVD problem.
Thanks
Jerry
