DVD-RW choice for Tecra M2

Please,can anyone tell me what DVD/RW I can fit into my M2? Id also appreciate knowing if theres such a thing as a multi-region one available? Reason being that my current Teac DW-224E-A has run out of regional options and is fixed on Region 1.
I had assumed that, because laptops were portable, you could watch DVDs all over the world,but thats not the case with the Teac.
Appreciate advice on this. Thanks.

Regarding DVD drive compatibility, please read this thread as Tecra M2 DVD caddy is same as M5: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=30468&tstart=0
Regarding a Region-free drive, I'm not aware of any genuine part being capable of doing so.
Suggest you Google for possible software solutions. Someone else here may be able to recommend something, but I couldn't possibly comment :-)
If you only play two different regions, why not have one drive for each (the locked one you already have, plus a second)?

  • DVD-RW replacement for Tecra A3

    I've got a 2 1/2 year old Tecra A3 that came with a Mat****a UJ830s DVD drive. During the 2 year guarantee period, the drive has been replaced 5 times, now I'm out of the guarantee period & it's broken again.
    Could somebody please recommend a substitute drive (preferably dual layer), with regular firmware support & proven reliability.
    Since I'm far away from a Toshiba service centre, I shall be doing the installment myself - could anyone provide helpful hints for this job.
    Many thanks

    Hi
    I have downloaded the user manual for the Tecra A3. I found it on the Toshiba support page and all the compatible CD/DVD drives are mentioned in the user manual.
    So you should take a look into this doc and should choose your favorite CD/DVD drive.
    The replacement is not very tricky;
    To remove the optical drive module follow the steps below:
    1. Turn the computer upside down.
    2. Remove one screw securing the optical drive module into place.
    3. Slide the Slim Select Bay latch to unlock position.
    4. Grasp the optical drive module and slide it out.
    Thats all!

  • After making a movie and wanting to burn a DVD, I go for iDVD in the 'DEEL'  menu. Then I get the question ' where is iDVD? What is the problem?

    After making a movie and wanting to burn a DVD, I go for iDVD in the 'DEEL'  menu. After couple of seconds I get the question ' where is iDVD?
    What is the problem? I cannot find iDVD in the programs map.

    The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

  • New HDD for Tecra M2

    Hi,
    I want to install a new HDD 80 GB on my Tecra M2 1,8 GHz, bought it dec 2004. In that days a new 80 GB HDD was the product PA3230U-1H80. Now a new HDD of 80 GB for Tecra M2 is under the name PA3407-2H80. Can I use the latter in my Tecra M2 (of 2004)?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dr Weekx R

    I have a Tecra M2 from around 2004. it has a large number of pieces changed in it. I've upgraded the processor from 1.5Ghz to 2.0Ghz (tho this does require the microcode updating). A replacement HD from the standard 40Gb to a hitachi 100Gb 7200rpm drive. The wireless LAN can to a Atheros miniPCI card. Also replaced the CD/DVD combo drive with a pioneer DVD-dual layer burner (which required some soldering on the adapter board, as toshiba don't follow standards for master slave configurations).
    I must add that this was all carried out, after the warrenty had expired. The only other thing to upgrade is the LCD screen, which I have sourced to a company in german. as the UK are a complete rip off.
    My point is that the Tecra M2 is upgradable, tho you do need to do your homework first. don't just go and purchase the first bit of hardware appears.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite: New Choices for Customers

    Adobe has announced the new Cloud-based model for software distribution, along with new terms for boxed product upgrade eligibility. Beginning with the CS6 releases, when they happen, upgrade pricing on boxed products will only be availble one generation back. There is a limited window to upgrade now to the current versions at a discount.
    See http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/adobe-creative-cloud-and-adobe-creative-suite -new-choices-for-customers.html

    Eugene:
      Based on the current information we have (from the blog post), which may not be correct and which you should not rely upon:
    There is some confusion about the word "discount." As used in the blog post, in general there are no "discounts" for upgrades, there is the upgrade price and there is full price. But, also in the blog post, there is a special "discount upgrade" if you choose to upgrade to CS5.5 today (prior to Dec. 31, 2011), which is 20% off the regular upgrade. However, Peter used the word "discount" to distinguish between upgrade pricing and full price. It's probably a good idea to avoid using that word there because of the potential for confusion.
    I have CS5 InDesign in work. So I will be able to upgrade that to CS6 when it comes out at the discount price?
    You will be able to upgrade to CS6 at upgrade pricing. Not the 20% discount, but it is "discounted" from the full price of CS6.
    I'm still using CS2 Illustrator and Photoshop, for the little work I do in those programs, they're fine. But if I want to upgrade them to CS6 I have to pay the full amount of an upgrade, with no discount... or will I have to pay for CS6 in full for both of these programs?
    You will have to pay the full price (not the "full amount of an upgrade," whatever that means).
    If you elect to upgrade to CS5.5 prior to Dec. 31 of this year, however, then then you can pay the discounted upgrade price to upgrade to CS5.5 (well, CS5 since Photoshop CS5.5 doesn't exist), and then you can pay the CS6 upgrade price in March/April. So you can pay for no upgrades (full price) or two upgrades (one of which is 20% off).
    At the moment I can upgrade CS2, photoshop and Illustrator for €240 each, to CS5. So wouldn't I just be able to do that now and then buy the CS6 upgrade at a much later date perhaps just before CS7 comes out?
    Yes, you can do that.
    If CS6 has the tools to basically go "File>Export>Epub" and I get a fully working epub file without having to trash about in code afterwards or make complex tagging in InDesign, then I'll be buying it.
    It looks like EPUB is evolving pretty fast, so even if ID CS6 fully supports what you want out of EPUB on Day 1, I bet you'll need to be prepared to postprocess it on Day 2. Or at least long before Day 200.

  • How To create a message Choice for a page?

    Hi,
    I need to create a message choice for a page and on selection of that it should navigate me to next page..like
    ex:
    If iam havng 10 locations like Delhi,Hyderabad,Chennai....
    I need to select one of them and it should be navigated to next page based on the above selection...These values are to be retrieved from database...
    Can u gimme any idea..how to proceed?

    Maybe something like this will help.
    On your <af:selectOneChoice/> component configure a valueChangeListener and set autosubmit to true.
    In your valueChangeListener change the current view like :
    public void handleValueChanged(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
    // Add event code here...
    if (!PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION.equals(valueChangeEvent.getPhaseId())) {
    valueChangeEvent.setPhaseId(PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION);
    valueChangeEvent.queue();
    } else {
    // add additiional app functionality here
    ControllerContext controllerContext = ControllerContext.getInstance();
    ViewPortContext viewPortContext = controllerContext.getCurrentViewPort();
    viewPortContext.setViewId("test");
    Regards,
    Kenneth
    The deferred execution of ValueChangeEvent is necessary as the ViewID can only be changed in INVOKE_APPLICATION phase.

  • Choices for free goods determination

    Hi all,
    I want to have choices for free goods determination, like for Material A I want an option to select either of Material A or B.
    Is this possible.
    regards,
    Vandana Arora

    hello, friend.
    it is possible to do this manually, and not through the free goods determination.
    let us say you want to give 1 unit of either material A or B for every 10 units of C ordered by the customer.  what you do is create a sales order for 10 units of C as the first line item.  let us further say the first line item is item 10.
    enter either A or B as the second line item, which is item 20.  go to the column HL Itm and enter 10.  also change the item category of this line item to TANN.  just be sure to maintain this set up in item category assignment in IMG.
    there are drawbacks to this procedure, in that your choices for free goods will not be limited to material A or B.  but this could work for you.
    you may also wish to create a BOM, wherein free good A can be replaced by B.
    regards.

  • What are the 3-bit field choices for Hw_Arm_Sel in PCI-6601

    Hi,
    I am programming our own driver to operate the PCI-6601. For our application we need hardware arm option. I know it is possible to use 2 counters for that, but NI-TIO should support also hw_arm. Although it is not explained in the registry document at all, after some tedious check in the DDK examples I found that this bits are located in the Gi counting mode register. I know the position of the HW_enable as well as the position of the 3 bits for pin sellect options. What I do not know is What are the 3-bit field choices for Hw_Arm_Sel . I contacted NI support but got no support. How can NI sell boards and when a customer who is not using LAbview or Measurement Studio or DDK, but is implementing his own driver is then so arrogantly turned down from NI? Also, how can NI publish just part of the registers the board support, and when a customer contacs and asks for some registers get not at all support? I can not foretell the missing registers, and it is pretty unprofessional to document just partly the registers of 660x devices. And on request you got nothing.
    I hope someone from the community know about this Hw_Arm_Sel 3 pin options. Otherwise, there is just an option of error and trial. Or simply throw the board in the garbage.
    Dr. Kirco Arsov
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Kirco,
    I have some more information for you :-)
    I haven't been able to speak to the developer who is the most familiar with TIO programming since he's out of the office, but I have come across his notes from when he was writing support for the DAQmx driver.
    As I described earlier, the HW_Arm_Sel bits don't select a connector I/O pin, but an internal trigger signal. There are seven internal trigger lines, and the HW_Arm_Sel bits map directly to the internal trigger signal: 0b000 - 0b111 map to 0d0 - 0d7. In order to route an I/O pin to an internal trigger, you must also write to a few more registers.
    From what I've read, there are two more register families that need to be programmed: TG_x_LevelEdgeReg and TG_x_CombinationReg, where x is the internal trigger number. In your case, you only need one pin from the I/O connector to be your arm start trigger, so TG_0_LevelEdgeReg and TB_0_CombinationReg will suffice for your application.
    TB_0_LevelEdgeReg :: Offset 0x660
    TG_0_LevelEdgeReg is only 8 bits wide, and maps as follows:
    7..6: EdgeMode
    5..0: LESel
    LESel selects the I/O connector pin to use as the source for the internal trigger signal. 0d0 - 0d39 will select the I/O pin of the same number. NB: behavior for TG_x_LevelEdgeReg is more limited for triggers 1-7, and only a small subset of the I/O pins can be selected for those trigger signals. Trigger 0 can use any I/O pin. Setting these bits to 0d63 forces the trigger source low, and can be used as a way to 'unroute' it when you're finished with your program.
    EdgeMode determines whether the TIO will detect an edge of the incoming signal, or just pass the signal level straight through. When detecting edges, it will latch the signal and generate a single TIMEBASE3 pulse instead. 0b00 sets level mode; 0b01 sets rising edge; 0b10 sets falling edge; 0b11 sets either edge.
    TG_0_CombinationReg :: Offset 0x6A0
    TG_0_CombinationReg is 32 bits wide, and has three fields of interest:
    19..16: CombFunction
    5..4: CombTypeB
    1..0: CombTypeA
    CombTypeA controls which trigger subsystem to use as the source for the trigger signal. Since you're coming from an I/O pin and using the edge/level subsystem, you must set these bits to 0b01.
    CombTypeB is similar to CombTypeA, and although you won't be using trigger B, set it to 0b01 to be safe.
    CombFunction performs a simple logic function on A and B. Since you're only using a single I/O connector, you only need the A output, so set these bits to 0b1100.
    All of the other bits should be set to 0b0.
    Unfortunately, I'm unable to test these statements since my test machine is currently being used for another research project. Please let me know what happens if you decide to test.

  • Question - is JavaMail the choice for me? Mass email delivery.

    Hello. I'm thinking about using JavaMail API, and I would like your feedback if JavaMail is the right choice for me.
    I'm working on a J2EE app (running on Glassfish) that will send email out to multiple recipients. The critical parts are
    1) It must scale so that it can send up to 10,000 email multiple times a day.
    2) The servlet that sends out the email must have a descent performance (can't hang while sending out 10,000 email forcing the user to wait, but for the servlet to send out 10,000 emails....I expect a little delay)
    So I'm using postfix for delivery with support for 10,000 recipients. I am thinking of using JavaMail inside a servlet which retrieves the 10,000 email addresses and creates 100 separate emails with 100 email recipients under BCC for each email.
    I am sending out the email in bulks of 100 separate email each with 100 recipients under BCC to address performance.
    Does my solution sound logical? Anything else I should be aware of?

    I'm not speaking from personal experience since I haven't tried to build something
    of the scale you're talking about, but...
    I wouldn't expect the overhead of the JavaMail API to be a significant issue here.
    Of course, you have to use the JavaMail API in a reasonable manner to get good
    performance and scalability.
    A lot depends on the performance of your server as well.
    I would expect the most difficult part to be handling the inevitable failures (network, server, etc.)
    that will occur when working at this scale.
    100 connections to your mail server several times a day shouldn't be an issue, but your
    mail server will be busy sending out all those messages.

  • What is the best and reasonably priced external cd/dvd optical drive for an Imac 21.5 inches from late 2009?

    What is the best and reasonably priced external cd/dvd optical drive for an Imac 21.5 inches from late 2009?

    A lot of people have a Mac where the superdrive has been taken out to be replaced with a harddisk. Try to find a friend who has done that, give him a beer and take the superdrive, then buy a superdrive container from OWC or another for  afew dollars and put it in there. This slimdrive container has a USB connector. There you go.

  • What is the best Mac choice for creating pro-level art/graphics/animation?

    I'm an artist who does a lot of work with Adobe Creative Suite CS5, as well as some video editing and lots of animation. I've been using a 2007 model 15-inch Macbook Pro for the last 4 years, and it seems like it's time to upgrade...it runs burning hot all the time, and the battery dies pretty quick when the cord falls out. It seems like the whole thing is running a little slow, which is probably because I have a TON of graphics/animation/video software on there, but I need each and every program.
    My question is, what is the best new Mac to purchase to replace this one? I want to make sure it lasts as long as possible, and will be able to handle the programs I use now. My first thought is to get another Macbook Pro, because of the portability, and just add on all the higher RAM, etc to customize it. But my husband suggested looking into the Mac Mini, because it's a lot cheaper, and we're a little strapped for cash at the moment. Would that serve the purpose? Or is a Macbook Pro really the best choice for what I need it to do?
    I'd love to hear suggestions from other artists or graphics people. What do you recommend?

    For a "cash strapped" person, unless you already
    have a monitor, one of the new iMacs may be
    a better choice.  If you do have a monitor, I would
    suggest the dual core i7 equipt MacMini.  Since you state
    you are using CS5 stuff, most Adobe apps,
    Photoshop for example, do not make effective
    use of multiple cores.  Also, using any of the
    Adobe products, regardless of which computer
    you decide on, get as much RAM as you can afford.

  • What setting in Toast for creating a DVD-R master for replication?

    I just Downloaded the new Toast 7 Titanium.
    What setting should I use to burn a DVD-R to send in for replication?
    Someone else said DVD-ROM UDF
    There is also a "Make Video DVD from VIDEO_TS folder"
    Which one?

    Sorry peeps! haven't looked here for awhile... (been really really busy...)
    Don't use either of those options unless you know what you're doing and you know what dvdsp is doing!
    If the dvd-r is for replication then you should check region 7 to make the disc region all. It used to be checked by default but is not any longer...! Then when you format set the Output Device to Hard Drive and the Output Format to .img
    Now in Toast you select Copy>Image File. Burn two copies at as slow a speed as possible. It's worth knowing, some say that writing at rated speeds is best but from the many many times I've seen recordable media issues it seems that writing slower solves the problem more than the other way around!
    Doing that will mean that your disc remains Region All, unlike if you use a Build to the Hard Drive and burn with Toast. You can control the burn speed & you don't have to worry about removing the .LAY, .layout files etc.
    Some versions of Toast are helpful, version 6.0.7 or later has options which will remove any files that shouldn't be in the VIDEO_TS directory for you, makes sure an empty AUDIO_TS folder is included etc but that doesn't help you much if DVDSP doesn't let you control the region flags with Builds to the Hard Drive. Using an .img solves all that.
    If you use the Data>Advanced>DVD-ROM (UDF) option you should use DVDAfterEdit or MyDVDEdit to correct the regions settings. Then manually remove the .LAY, .layout, PAR folder etc that should not be in the VIDEO_TS folder.
    If you use the Video>Advanced>DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS folder you still need to correct the regions setting but Toast removes all the other 'stuff' for you and adds the (empty) AUDIO_TS folder.
    FWIW, when you Format & Burn direct to disc out of DVDSP it does as it's told. The .LAY, .layout etc files are removed (see the log) and the regions ALL setting is as you'd expect.
