DVD-ROM question.

I want to place a single folder named "Documents" at the root level of the DVD with a single .pdf file in it. When I add the DVD-ROM content to the project by selecting a directory on my hard drive named "Documents" what I get on the burned DVD is the .pdf file at root level with no "Documents" folder.
Help?
-- Larry Chapman

Put the 'Documents' folder within another folder, and then choose
that folder in Encore as your ROM folder.

  • AIR to use for DVD-ROM application - a question

    For a customer (a sound-enginering in film) I am looking for a solution to produce a DVD-ROM (like the 'old' CD-ROM application) for the presentation (a sort of portfolio) of +/- 400 soundfiles (not music, but real sound).
    In the past the production of CD-ROM application was done using "Macromedia Director".
    Now for the past two weeks I have discovered and studied a little about the "desktop" possibilities of AIR-technology. This has greatly impressed me.
    I would like to use AIR (build with Flex) to produce the whole interface for the DVD: displaying the soudfiles in different way: categories, maybe treemapping, searchable database with SQL-lite etc...
    My question is: has someone experience with the use of AIR for DVD-ROM? Can he/she recommends something? The pros/contras?
    Thank you in advance,
    konrad

    As ab1301 says, you can bundle the AIR runtime on the disc if you sign up for a redistribution license agreement:
    See  http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html.
    However, I believe that still won't get you what you're looking for.
    I assume you want the menu to run directly from the DVD. However, AIR applications must be installed to run -- you can't run them directly from a portable storage like DVD-ROM, USB memory stick, etc.
    So, if you want to have the installer for your AIR application be on a DVD, and have it install the application on the user's computer, you can do that (but you'll probably need the redistribution license and you'll probably also need to write your own custom installer). This thread doesn't provide a complete answer but it does offer some relevent advice:

  • DVD Rom, RAM, and SSD question(s)

    I purchased a nice T400 (6475-B14) on Ebay and I have upgraded a number of items on it to get it to where I want it.
    I upgraded the OS to W7 Pro, put in a Lenovo 4GB RAM stick (now I have a 4GB and a 2GB), and I swapped out the HDD for an Intel X-25 G2 80GB SSD.
    90% of the time the machine is great, however I have run into a few problems and I'm really hoping that someone here can help me.
    The first issue, is the fact that every once in a while the machine can't start.  I end up having to restore the machine using R&R.  I don't know what could be the issue.  I've replaced the OS and HDD so I'm not sure what to do next.  I am by no means a computer expert, but could the mis-matched RAM (1X4GB with 1X2GB) be causing the problem?  I don't mind getting another 4GB stick, but if it won't do anything to fix the issue I don't want to waste the money.
    Number two, I'm trying to burn an image recovery disk, but according to the Nero Tool I can't write with my drive (HL-DT-St DVD-ROM DU10N).  Do I need additional software?  I find it hard to believe that Lenovo would include a drive that only reads and is not capable of writing on DVD or CD, but based on the searches I've done on this forum and others, I can't find any other answer. 
    Lastly, the SSD seems to be working great (I've only had to restore the system once since installing it, see issue number one), but I see in the Lenovo download site there is an ISO file for SSD's.  However since I can't burn a DVD, I can't burn the ISO file.  So my question(s) is/are do I really need the software?  Can I use my Apple Mac Pro at home to burn the ISO file and then use that disk to install the software?
    Sorry for the long, rambling questions, but I have tried to search a number of forums and the internet in general and I haven't been able find the answers.
    Thanks!

    hello mate,
    For your first issue the RAM can be the problem. U can mix different size of RAM but make sure to use DDR3 PC3-8500 or DDR3 PC3-10600 memory. And also the T400 does not support ECC be careful to don't mix ECC and non ECC memory.
    For your second question your HL-DT-St DVD-ROM DU10N is just a DVD ROM reader and it's not capable to write any CD or DVD.
    I don't know about the software for your SSD but if it's an ISO file for windows you can burn it with a mac it won't make a difference. All discs burned on the Mac work across platforms.

  • DVD drive will not read DVD-Roms

    I recently tried to reinstall a game that I had played previously, only to find that my drive will not read it. I can hear the disk spinning, but my computer will not recognize that there is a disk in the drive. I tried some of my other games and I noticed that all of the older games, that ran on CD-Rom, had no trouble installing, while the ones that ran on DVD-Rom never showed up in the drive.
    This is strange because I have installed all of these DVD-Rom games on my laptop before with no problem. I've tried doing simple fixes, like updating everything and uninstalling then reinstalling the drivers, but nothing helps. 

    Hi,
    If it worked before then try few System Restore points and check. Could have happened due to some update.
    Also provide the Product number of your notebook if restore doesnt help.
    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

  • I just installed a new DVD rom/CD-R drive in my G4...I can't install OS!

    Hey guys!
    A friend recently gave me his G4, but the CD/DVD drive wasn't working, so I went to Best Buy and bought a CDRW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive by "Dynex." I installed it and the tray pops out and it appears to be doing something when I put in the operating system DVD, but the screen blinks a file folder and a question mark.
    There is no operating system currently installed.
    Are only certain drives compatible with this computer, or is there something I should be doing upon start-up?
    Thanks!

    Hey! I Found out the drive I was using was incompatible. I put in a Pioneer drive and it worked great.

  • SATA CD or DVD ROMS or BURNERS?

    This is something that occurred to me, This could be either an interesting question or the dumbest question on earth, What if you use an IDE to SATA adaptor and then run a SATA cable for lets say a CD or DVD ROM or BURNER?  

    Plextor has just announced a SATA DVDRW

    They are selling a SATA conversion kit for oder drives too. Great!  

  • Sunblade 1000 will boot from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM

    I have Sunblade 1000 with a pre-installed Solaris 8 OS. I originally purchased the workstation without a CD-ROM. I bought an old Sun 411 CD-ROM. After installing the 411 CD-ROM, I entered "boot cdrom". Somehow it will not boot from the CD-ROM drive. When I do a "probe-scsi-all" I will often get "fatal scsi errors", but sometimes the SCSI info will be displayed, bizzare. When I type the explicit or long device name with the boot command, it still will not boot. After looking for solution in the Internet and exhausting a few UNIX friends from my questions, I called Sun. According to Sun, the only compatible CD-ROM for the Sunblade 1000 is the DVD-ROM, which is OEM by Sun,and usually ships with this workstation.
    After, getting over the shock that Sun sold the Sunblade 1000 without providing backward compatibility, and suffering the humiliation of spending much need company resources for a potentially useless CD-ROM, we broke down and bought the DVD-ROM.
    After spending $500 dollars for the DVD-ROM, the Sunblade still cannot boot from the DVD-ROM. If I boot from the disk, and after the system comes up, the DVD-ROM shows that it is mounted, I can browse it's content, etc.
    I currently have the Solaris Installation CD in DVD-ROM drive. I also tried booting off the Solaris 2.51, and 2.7 CDs. Here are some info that comes back when I entered the various commands:
    ok banner
    SUNW, Sun-Blade-1000 (UltraSPARC-III), Keyboard present OpenBoot 4.0, 512 MB memory installed.....yada yada
    ok boot cdrom
    Boot device: /pci@8, 700000/scsi@6/disk@6,0:f File and args
    boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix
    Enter filename[kernel/sparcv9/unix:
    ok probe-scsi-all
    /pci@8, 700000/scsi@6
    Fatal SCSI error at script address 8 Illegal instruction
    Fatal SCSI error at script address 8 Illegal instruction
    Thanks in advance,
    Joe

    I'm quoting from an old usenet article from Tony Walton
    (@...sun.com)
    http://groups.google.com/groups?q=solaris+probe-scsi-all+reset+auto-boot&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&site=groups
    �
    You should only run probe-scsi after the hardware has reset
    but before it's initialized to start running Solaris (you
    might get away with stopping then running probe-scsi early
    in the boot sequence, but that's only a matter of luck,
    really).
    The recommended sequence is to disable autobooting if it's
    set (so the machine won't boot itself automatically after a
    PROM reset), then reset the hardware, then probe-scsi, then
    re-enable auto-booting (if it was enabled in the first
    place).
    So, go to the ok prompt, then
    setenv auto-boot? false
    reset-all
    probe-scsi (or probe-scsi-all)
    setenv auto-boot? true
    reset-all

  • No hard drive or dvd-rom

    Hi Guys,
    I have just had a system built for me , which contains the following
    MSI Neo 965 Mobo
    Intel core duo e6400 conroe 2.13ghx
    320gb SATA hard drive
    1gb DDR2 800mhz Ram
    I have installed my own radeonx1950pro 512mb card and my dvd rom(ide).
    When i first turn my pc on at the diagnostic screen where it shows what is connected (ide primary/master ) it has none , i then get two options f1 to continue and del to enter setup. if i press f1 it goes to a screen where it shows my hard drive and dvd-rom , and ask me to hit a ket to continue , when i do i successfully boot into windows , when  i goto bios and into boot sequence none of my devices are there , any ideas? the only way to load to windows is if i keep hitting f1. Sorry if this sound a newbie question , but my last pc was all ide and i know nothing about SATA. also i added a memory card reader in to the floppy drive space , when i look at my drives my only hard drive has the letter H , and one of my memory card slots has the drive letter C ?????
    Regards
    Lennon

    sounds like you have a windows that was installed for previous system. You just plugged it in and hope everything work just fine. Right?
    On this P965 Neo board, the PATA controller is off to JMicron external controller. So for sure, you need to install the proper driver for this controller. Check on the sticky links on top of this forum table. Get the latest driver and installation instruction there.
    Also, make sure your SATA HDD is pluged to the correct port. Which port you're using?
    In the BIOS, what did you set for the SATA and PATA? Everything has to be setup properly, refer to your motherboard manual on those settings.

  • DVD-ROM created in DVDSP does not show files in Windows

    Hello,
    I created a DVD-ROM in DVD Studio Pro 4 with the purpose of having a working DVD and also have additional files in that same disk. It all works fine in a Mac; I can watch the DVD, and I can also access the additional files (one .pdf and one .mp4) from the Finder. The DVD also works fine in any DVD player.
    However, when I put the disk on a Windows computer, I can only watch the DVD movie, but the additional files DO NOT appear in Windows Explorer. If I open the dvd drive on a Windows computer, there's only the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders, and nothing else.
    Does anybody have an idea of what's going on here? PLEASE HELP.
    Thank you.

    This is an m2v file playing on the windows machine. Of course I would have preferred to run with a mac, but the end display software does not run on a Mac.
    Windows Media Player, using the commonly(?) installed Klite Codec Pack which includes and mpeg2 decoder, shows it as having a length of 6:38.
    VLC will play it as well, but shows not timecode on a windows machine.
    The whole movie is there and I can scrub until the end in WMP. In fact Windows Media Player will play it to the end. And as it hits the end, the timecode should show 10:00 minutes, but it does not, it shows 6:38. On a Mac it shows 10:00 minutes
    The end movie is to play in software (Windows Samsung's Magic Info Pro) that loops when the end time code is reached. Which it thinks is 6:38. The only problem is that it loops at 6:38 of the original movie which is not the end of the movie.
    Sounds like a relativistic spacetime problem.
    Before I get slammed for asking Windows related questions -- I put this in the compressor forum to see if there was some compressor setting I was not enabling, or some tweak that I could do to make an m2v file windows friendly.

  • DVD-ROM not recognised with M/S setting

    Hello, I just purchased a SD-R2412 DVD-ROM drive to replace my defunct drive (same model). However, my old drive was CSEL type and this new one is M/S. I didn't know there was differences within same models. This new drive is not recognized by Windows XP (SP2) and the second IDE controller disappear. Also, it is not possible to boot from CD, so I guess the BIOS is not recognizing the drive either.
    I've seen some discussion regarding the reverse (old M/S, new CSEL) and some solutions for that case, but I haven't seen any comments on my problem.
    My guess is that the drive is configured as slave and the BIOS is unable to recognize it in this position. If so, the question would be if there's a way to configure the M/S drive to act as a master.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Hello
    It will be very interesting to know, which Toshiba unit you have. As far as I know the drive is already set to slave but I dont now about exactly position of the jumper. Nevertheless take a look on the label which is on the drive. There you can find a picture how to set the little jumper to master or slave.
    Best regards

  • DVD-ROM and Spotlight

    I don't think this is a iDVD problem, but thought this forum is still the best place to look for some help.
    Just finished an iDVD project. I've got a slideshow built in Photo-to-Movie and iMovieHD, and am using iDVD '08 to encode & burn, along with two other short movies. The kick is that I'm adding about 1000 jpegs or so to the DVD-ROM portion. The finished disk plays fine on my DVD player and PS3, and even a Dell laptop, but when put back into the mac that burned it the playback is horrible...at least for 5-10 minutes or more. And the culprit seem to be SPOTLIGHT indexing all those jpegs. If I wait 'tilt he drive activity stops (but that is quite awhile) it plays fine, even from the start or main menu. Or if I add the disk to the privacy preference in spotlight, it plays fine too.
    So, question 1.....is there anything I can do to the DVD-ROM portion that would either stop the spotlight indexing or make it much much faster? I'm making a bunch of these for other people, and though most aren't Mac users, it is annoying that it doesn't "just work."
    And question 2......am I crazy or shouldn't Apple be able to tell that If I launch DVD player that indexing should be paused in any case? Seems like a defect in the DVD player app if you ask me.....it should be able to delay indexing.
    Question 3....is there something else I'm missing?
    Thanks
    jb

    I'm wondering if is possible to address the timing of when indexing takes place through preferences.
    If so, this might be another option. (not sure if this option is only available for actual hard drive/s or alternate volumes as well).
    I'm sure you are also aware of apple's FB thru iDvd's Menu in order to make suggestions for improvements to this software as well. (launch iDvd and from the Top Menu scroll down to "Provide iDvd Feedback".
    Try the following if you haven't already (uncheck applications in hope that DVD Player will not undergo indexing automatically as soon as a dvd is inserted). Note: I haven't yet tried this myself so I have no idea if it will actually work or not.

  • CDRW/DVD Rom drive disabled by Panther

    Looks like same problem as dozens of others, but no answers. After upgrading to 10.3.9 the Sony CRX820E is hiding. Toast titanium says "no CD Recorder found" CD's show up in finder but not DVD's. (it is a DVD Rom drive)
    Anyone find a fix for this recurring problem or do we just write it off to "progress"?

    The entire computer is 6 years old almost 7, and it worked fine until recently.
    Maybe its to do with the new power supply I put in, I put a 750 watt power supply in to replace my 250 watt, because I recently got a new graphics card.
    the power supply is plugged in correctly, and my system tells me the drive is there, it just won't read DVD discs.
    I'll give a run down of how putting the new power supply in went:
    1) I found out that the plug I would need for my floppy drive was required by my new graphics card, so I took the IDE cable out of the Floppy drive and motherboard, and plugged the power supplies plug into the graphics card.
    2) After a problem with my computer not being able to find either the DVD Writer or CD drives, I found the problem was a loose IDE cable, which I promptly put back in place, then my computer was able to find the drives.
    3) Afterwards I changed my BIOS a little, I changed it so it wouldn't try to find a Floppy drive, and changed the sequence of booting the system from having the floppy drive boot first to the DVD/CD drives boot first.
    4) I started up my system and popped in a disc for a game, 3 different times the drive refused to work, 3 different times I found a solution that got it to read the disc, then afterwards if I put a different disc in it wouldn't work, and the fix wouldn't work a second time.
    I hope this helps answer me, but here is another question. Can a device be plugged in to any IDE port on the motherboard? If so, is it possible using the IDE cable to plug the DVD drive into the port the Floppy drive was plugged into might help?

  • Video DVD-ROM works on EVERYTHING except "new" Macs

    I've got a video on DVD-ROM that will play on PC, stand-alone players, G4s, G5s and a year old Intel mini. It will not play on "new" (within 6 months?) Apple machines. I don't know if it's hardware -- I've tested it on Pioneer, Sony and NEC drives and they all read it.
    Any suggestions as to why the newer Macs have trouble?

    Update: I tried the disc on more than a dozen macs at the local electronics stores(from iMac to Mini, Macbook to Powerbook Pro) and it works fine.
    Question: Is there a security setting or some such that would prevent the video from playing on a particular company's systems? or drive maintenance?

  • H520s Windows 8 DVD-ROM disabled and error 19 - registry corrupt Help please!

    Hi all and hoping for help with H520s, 64bit  OS Windows 8. Error message showing  problem with DVD-RAM Mat**bleep**a SW820; this is disabled in the device manager, and I can't use the DVD drive as a result. (yellow triangle)
    Have tried windows fix utility on pc ; drivers are up to date. Have disabled, enabled etc. But it's still error 19
    This was working perfectly until a couple of days ago when Microsoft ran a mega load of updates, including critical windows 8 updates. Am wondering if there's some conflict?
    Have searched the Lenovo solution centre for up to date drivers for the dvd-RW but there aren't any. Don't really want to uninstall the DVD-ROM drive and attempt reinstall unless can definitely reinstall and can't find anything that reassures me I wil be able to do so.
    Wondering if Is this similar to another issue on Toshiba pcs where it seems, according to various searches,  it was a corrupted registry entry due to conflicts with pre installed pc rescue type utilities?
    I'm no IT expert and the idea of registry fiddling is not reassuring.
