DVD's not working on Sony dvd player

I just bought some TDK DVD-R 16x. I burned a DVD with my iMac G4 in iDVD. I tried to play it in my Sony DVD player and it said it was was not allowed because there were limitations or something. Can I fix this or do I need new DVDs??

Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the
DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may
encounter. Once the disc image is created,
double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that
should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn
the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually,
you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which
OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in
Applications folder), click on the virtual disc
(maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the
Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your
SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn
icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R
preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait.
Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor
over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to
work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower
for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to
click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This
may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk
to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD.
Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD
Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and
open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio
disks.)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
I'm reading through the forums trying to figure why I am not able to play a DVD burned in iDVD that is "R", but the "RW" ones work fine.
Your post is very helpful and I've looked at the links suggested too. I just want to make sure I'm understanding. I've copied the movie to my hard drive using iMovie and then created an iDVD project. I then need to use either Disk Utility or Toast to make the DVD. I do not need to use the "burn" feature in iDVD. Is that correct?
I would appreciate any other suggestions. Maybe there is something else in the settings or preferences I need to adjust.
Thanks so much.

  • Why my YUPP TV app is not working on sony google player NSZ-GS8 - Need Help

    some of the apps are not working properly. have to close and restart the device. (especially Netflix and youtube).Besides this problem, YUPP TV app is not at all working. not taking the credentials whereas same credentails working well with other devices.Model #: NSZ-GS8 Any suggestions? Do I need to throw the device? really frsutrating..

    I just checked and ABC does not work over airplay. I do have an iPad 2 but I turned off mirroring in order to use it the same way an iPad 1 user would. You are right about the link so I have provided one that is up to date.
    http://theapple.tv/apps/list-of-airplay-enabled-apps/
    The error message is suspect though, as audio should still come through. I assume you've tried the basics (reboot, reset) for both devices. In regards to the video and why it worked that time, whatever the reason is due to something the developer has done.

  • Any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station pls

    any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station please ? classic working fine, so not the fault of the station itself ? it's been bought as a present for my father & he's confused !

    Check the headphone jack with a flashlight and clean it if necessary. The jack on a new Nano is very tight, be sure you push the headset jack all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

  • X-fi Digital in not working for Sony

    I have tried looking at all settings in the users manual etc and I am still not getting any sound from my portable Sony DAT player. Not sure what else I have to do to get this working. It worked fine in my old audigy 2 zs pro.

    I just hooked my PS2 up to my new computer monitor and found this thread extremely helpful. The one thing that drove me crazy was the S/PDIF-in slider control was set to Mute by default and I didn't realize it for a bit.

  • Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 Debugging not working with latest Flash Player Debug

    First to emphasize that never had such issues with Flex
    Builder 2 Beta 2 and Flash Player 9.0.47 Debug version.
    I downloaded Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 and installed it. Then
    trying to debug any Flex app (old or newly created) does not work.
    I don’t get any errors, but after some research I saw
    it’s nagging up on trying to connect to the Flash Player
    debug version.
    1. Uninstalled old versions of Flash Player (FP).
    2. Downloaded latest debug version of FP 9 (9.0.115) and
    installed it both for IE and Opera (Netscape-compatible).
    3. Installed Flex Builder 3 Beta 3.
    4. Created a simple Flex app.
    5. Ran it in debug mode.
    6. Showed a small window with title “Progress
    Information” and a progress + text: Waiting for Flash Player
    to connect to debugger…
    7. Two minutes later I got the error: “Failed to
    connect; session timed out. Ensure that: 1. You compiled your Flash
    application with debugging on. 2. You are running the debugger
    version of Flash Player.”
    Any idea what is wrong? I tried to download an older debug
    version but then FB 3 Beta 3 raises the error it’s expecting
    version 9.0.115. I searched to download FB3 Beta 2 (because I
    deleted it after downloading Beta 3) but unfortunately Adobe did
    their best to wipe it out from their links.
    Any help is welcome.

    Hi Dimitar,
    Did you close all the browsers (and applications which use
    Flash Player) when you install Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 or Flash
    Player? You can try manually installing it from <FB install
    location>/player/ directory. Here're some
    installation/unintallation instructions of Flash Player:

  • Zen Touch, LCD Display not working at all, but player is f

    So I'm on the bus, listening to my Zen Touch, it's working fine, the LCD is working fine. Everything is dandy. Few songs later, I pull it out of my pocket, the LCD is blank. But the player is still going. I can change songs, adjust volume, play all randomly etc etc, but I'm working blind, cause there is nothing on the display whatsoever.
    It was a dry day, so it wasnt moisture damage or anything. And I didnt drop it, or bang it. It went from working fine, to going in my pocket, to not working. Really strange.
    I'm sure its just defecti've, but I leave for a week long vacation in just under an hour (good timing eh? works fine for 8 months and then bam, 6 hours before I leave the country...ugh **bleep** karma), and I'm praying theres a simple fix I'm just missing. I already tried multiple restarts and resets, and I even charged it for a few hours, thinking the battery was just getting weak. But no dice. I doubt anyone can help me, but I figured it's worth at least a shot.Message Edited by myname on 0-24-2005 05:07 AM

    If it won't display anything at all, even after a reset, it's likely there is a hardware problem. You could connect the player to the PC and update the firmware, but I suspect it'll be the same after that, unfortunately.

  • Why the Apple products does not work with Adobe flash player?

    Could be better if the Apple products work with Adobe Flash Player, I know that Steve does not like to work with them, but I think will be necessary soon.

    From Adobe's own site:
    *** NOTE: FLASH PLAYER IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED FOR NEW DEVICE CONFIGURATIONS. FLASH PLAYER WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED ON ANY ANDROID VERSION BEYOND ANDROID 4.0.x ***
    While Flash Player remains on Google Play for installation on Android devices that are certified by the manufacturer, installing Flash Player on an uncertified device may result in unexpected behavior and can potentially destabilize your device. A list of certified devices can be found at http://www.adobe.com/go/certifieddevices. Flash Player WILL NOT be supported on any device shipped with or upgraded to an Android version beyond Android 4.0.x
    Further comments on what is the case on Android devices is irrelevant. Adobe has dropped further development of Flash for mobile devices and Apple has made no indications that they have any plans to do so themselves, so it is highly unlikely that there will ever be a native Flash player for any iOS device.
    'nuff said on the matter. Regards.

  • Bravia Sync does not work with Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B and BDV-N8100W Bluray 3D Home Theatre System.

    Bravia Sync does not function with my Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B and Sony BDV-N8100W Bluray 3D Home Theatre System.  The Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B does not list the Sony BDV-N8100W on the Bravia Sync device list.  Does anyone have an explanation or solution for this?

    Please use a component cable.  With either RCA or optical for audio.  That is the quickest fix.  For current HDMI issues. 
    1.7 upgrade has been known to fix most of the HDMI issues.  Verizon is working diligently to roll out img 1.7.

  • ISight Not Working After Adobe Flash Player Update

    I went on Chatroulette and the website said I needed to update my flash player. So I did. However, after I did, iSight does not work now on the internet. When it's selected as the video source, it just shows a ManyCam logo, which ManyCam has been deleted off my computer a long time ago, so I am unsure why. I can't get any video feed to work. iSight does work for Photoshop and FaceTime. How can I get iSight to work again?

    If it doesn't work on a particular web site but functions properly everywhere else then suspect that the web site has a problem not you.

  • Apple TV Optical Soundoutput not working with Sony Home Theater System

    I just bought a new apple tv. The setup was pretty simple, with the exception that I cannot get the optical audio output to work with my Sony home theater.
    If I switch tha optical sound cable from the apple tv to the cable tv converter box I get sound fine in the sound system, so I know the sound system works fine and is setup to take input thru the optical cable.
    Any one experiencing the same problem?

    hey buddy,
    How old is your Sony receiver? You have to be careful here because receivers that were made about 2 years ago, a lot of the lower range one only does HDMI pass-through. This means that your receiver only passes both the video and audio signal onto the end points, i.e takes the signal from your apple TV and outputs them onto your TV. It does not split the video and audio stream and send the audio to your home theater speakers. So make sure you plug your hdmi and optical out into the same set of input ports. On most Sony receivers, this device is under the Blue Ray class of input, where it takes video from the hdmi and the audio from the optical. If you have them on two separate class, say, HDMI to the DVD in, and optical in to the blue ray, then certainly when you set your receiver to DVD, you get video and audio on your TV speakers. And when you set your receiver to blue ray, you only get audio but not video.

  • IPod touch not working with Sony clock radio.

    iPod 4th gen won't play music through new Sony clock radio.  It charges but won't play or control music.  Works with 2 iPhones tested but not touch.  Yes I am using the correct adapters, universal for iPod and the different ones for phones. 

    Does Sony say it will work with yur model iPod and iOS?
    Do the phones have the same iOS?
    Is the iPod fully seated in the dock?
    Does the iPod sync and charge OK?
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Other uses have reported problems with Sony docks. Use the communities search feature in the upper right and search for Sony. Use the advance search to restrict search to the iPod touch forum

  • Apple TV 3 not working with Sony Bravia KLV-26T400A

    CURRENT GENERATION APPLE TV (3)
    Hi I recently bought an ATV 3 which works fine with a Panasonic TV but is not detected on the HDMI input (or any of the others listed in the Sony menu) by a several year old Sony Bravia KLV-26T400A despite the specs saying it supports 1080 p HDMI input. The HDMI lead is the same that worked successfully with the Panasonic TV.  I have reset the Sony to factory settings, turned the power on and off; cut the power to the ATV 3 and re-booted and tried the fixes I've seen listed on other threads which speak of editing the External Input labels and skipping the ones you don't use (on the Sony) but none of these have helped, can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Simon

    That does make things more difficult. Is the monitor HDCP compliant? Seeing as it's an issue with the display and not the device the only thing I could suggest is to get hold of another TV in order to lower the resolution on ATV. If that doesn't work then i'm not really sure what else to try i'm afraid.

  • Itunes not working as default media player for mp3's in firefox

    In Firefox (and I tried Safari with same results), clicking a link that is supposed to play an mp3, itunes is not completing the operation. itunes is set as the default media player. The mp3 file is actually loaded into user.AppData.Local.Temp, but it is not imported into itunes (nor played). I can move the file to the desktop and then move into itunes. Trying to move from .Temp directly into itunes doesn't work. What am I missing???

  • Adobe reader app not working with sony ereader app.

    Adobe reader on my android tablet does not accept login & therefore I can't get my Sony ereader app to work.
    How do I fix this?

    I am having the same problem. While they might not have anything to do with each other, it seems to be connected to Adobe somehow .When I launch the App on my phone or my tablet,It asks for my sony e reader log in and password. When I put that information in, it then asks me for my adobe ID conformation ..Specifically it says        "Sony Reader Store is using Adobe DRM technology for rights protected content. Please enter your Adobe ID and password to proceed". So you can see how I might think they they are somehow connected. When I put in my Adobe ID and password, nothing happens..it just keeps going to the above mentioned screen and asking for the same info over and over. This happens on multiple devices (3 devices to be exact) so I am a little confused as to what I am doing wrong . I am sure I am missing a step. Perhaps I am asking my question in the wrong forum, but if sony ereader and adobe arent connected then why do they need my adobe log in ? I am not sure if the origifnal poster and I are having the same problem, but any help would be appreciated.
