DVD's Rewrite

I am using the suggested DVD's Verbatim -R and when inserting they are just spat out.
I have tried them in another computer and they are OK.
Any help

Check in the Apple menu About This Mac > Mor Info, and find your burner information. In the DVD Burner row you'll find what kind of media can burn.
To rewritable media it must say -RW or/and +RW

  • DVD/CD rewritable drive software

    My daughter has lost the software disc for her HP DVD/CD rewritable drive, model no: dvd550sH02 8.  She needs to reload the software.  I cannot find anywhere to download it from on the HP web site. Has anyone any ideas where I can obtain it?

    Hi:
    There isn't any software like that available for download.
    I use the free CD Burner XP software.
    I install the version without Open Candy, which you can find under the More Download Options Link.
    https://cdburnerxp.se/en/download
    If you want a copy of the HP Roxio burning software, from my HP 6930p notebook, I will be happy to upload the software to my Skydrive folder and you can download it from there.
    It will probably work on any HP PC, but I can't say for sure.

  • DVD drive does not burn/erase rewritables - Satellite P100-347

    Hello,
    I have purchased a Toshiba Satellite p100-347 PSPA6E laptop. It has a DVD Burner with model number: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N (firmware pt06). It has capabilities to burn all types of dvds (please see example using dvdino: http://tinyurl.com/2hbpqv ).
    However, i cannot rewrite on my Maxell dvd+rw (1.4x speed) dvd. everytime i go to a software application to erase a dvd i've written on, it says format not recognised. For example Nero says "This disc is not rewritable and therefore cannot be erased. Please insert a rewritable disc".
    The disc is rewritable because it says on the cover and also it burns on my friends rewritable dvd burner :(
    Please can someone help :( i am really stuck and it would be much apreciated

    Hello all,
    thank you for your replies. Still no luck wth DLA :(. i installed DLA and i get the message 'write-once media such as CD-R or DVD-R is not supported by DLA' even though the dvd is a MAXELL Dvd+RW.
    Now here is the strange part. I just borrowed a friends dvd external rewriter which burns the maxell dvd i have been using... it seems like that does not work on my laptop either now and works fine on my friends computer. perhaps it is not the dvd burner that is the problem but some setting on my pc. can someone please help :(.

  • DVD+RW is not acting Rewritable

    I'm working on an imac Intel Core 2 Duo with a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06 burner. I just bought at box of Memorex DVD+RW rewritable disks for backing up video.
    I successfully burned 3 files, taking up 1.37GB on the disk. But now, when I go back to add more files, or erase the existing ones, I find out that:
    1. Available capacity on disk is Zero KB
    2. I can't delete a file because the Delete button is greyed out.
    3. I can't add a file because I get a message saying that the DVD+RW disk "cannot be modfied."
    This is the behavior I got when trying to do all of the above with a
    -R disk, and thought that I had the flexiblility to record up to 4+GB, and be able to add/delete files from a +RW disk.
    Any suggestions for what I need to do to get the DVD+RW to work as intended?
    Thanks.

    lenn et al,
    That's absurd! First of all, I've burned several files individually on the Memorex DVD+RW.
    And when I went to our local Apple Store to have some problems on my mac 10.4.10 - they USED a Memorex?
    I'm having the same problems as the other 10.4.6 user you answered. I've just tried to burn several albums from iPhoto - it burned one, track 1 and boom - EJECTED - when I put the DVD back in, it spit it out again. I finally got it to stay, tried to burn a second album & voila - the message said to "Insert a blank DVD"!!!
    At the Apple store, the "genius" burned a DVD OK, but not with the application, iPhoto, that I was having problems with! Then he suggested, like with Micro-swift, that I back up all on my computer and reinstall it?!? (or buy 2 items to "fix it" at $250! - like all mac users have $ to burn.)
    I'm really getting annoyed with Mac, Apple, et al. -

  • Third party software for sony dvd burner

    I would greatly appreciate anyone recommending inexpensive software that would work
    with a sony DVD/cd rewritable drive I just purchased. On the box it said it was mac compatible, but
    of course I later found out, only if you purchase mac compatible software. Sony provided a list of third party software that works with the device but its hard to know which ones work WELL with a Mac.
    (I have a mac mini.)
    Thanks for any tips.

    It should just be recognised anyway.
    You can use the Finder, a Burn Folder or Disk Utility to burn data discs.
    iTunes, Garageband to burn playable CDs and DVD backups.
    iPhoto to burn photo slideshows.
    iDVD burns DVD Video discs that can be used in any player.
    The most popular 3rd party software for convenience and ease of use is [Toast|http://www.roxio.com]
    There are many other free and not so free 3rd party applications at versiontracker.com.

  • Would my macbook be able to burn dual layer/ dvd-r 9GB discs?

    Any help would be appreciated.
    (I need an answer fast.)
    I also need a 8-9 GB gb DVD-RW (rewritable) in a small pack (Like 5 of them or something). Could I find this at walmart?

    Would it be possible to buy and external dvd drive that would have the capability to burn dual layer?
    Yes.
    I know they have cd/dvd drives for the macbook air. But I'm wondering if I could buy it, hook it up, and it work with idvd.
    That model of drive will only work on a MacBook Air. You need a third-party model; iDVD 6 and newer can burn to external drives.

  • New LG DVD writer wont work with XP 32 SP3

    I'm experiencing a driver problem while trying to get my new LG DVD writer to work. I have XP (sp3) which uses a Radeon  8500 video card. Nothing I do enables the DVD writer to work. suggestions?

    Just because you bought a dvd player/r/r. does not mean it will burn dvd`s. You have to have the driver/software to accomplish this.
    Example: I bought a new Memorex cdrom/dvd/writer/rewriter when my old cd rom went out. but it did not come with the software/drivers to actually play or burn /write dvds.
    Hope this helps

  • Does the new pro have DVD/cd

    I Am thinking of getting a new MacBook pro and wondered if they have a dvd/cd rewrites.
    mant thanks.

    Only one laptop sold by Apple has a DVD drive -- the 13" non-Retina MacBook Pro. (It's the mid 2012 model, but is still a very capable machine, and has FireWire, Ethernet, USB 3, Thunderbolt, etc.)
    I have one and it copes with some pretty heavy lifting. You can upgrade the RAM yourself and swap the Hard Drive for an SSD very easily.
    The alternative is to buy an external USB optical drive. Apple sells their own one, but there are others that might be cheaper.

  • K9N2 Diamond Not Recognizing SATA DVD Rom

    I just though I would try to post here to see if anyone had any ideas as to what might be the cause or if I should just RMA the board and hope it gets resolved.
    To sum it up I have a PC that doesn't always like to reboot (not a problem really as I don't like to reboot it except for when getting updates) and will not recognize the DVD drive plugged into the SATA ports.  Originally I thought it may have just been a flaky optical drive as it worked long enough for me to get the OS installed and everything set up back in late June early July.  However for some reason Windows XP Pro x64 and the BIOS stopped recognizing the optical drive.  Since I thought it might have just been a flaky drive I didn't worry about it too much as I had everything set up - was just annoying that I couldn't watch DVDs (but I could just go to the other room to do that so not biggie).  On Saturday I bought a new DVD drive (one that could play Blue Ray disks figuring since I have my monitor hooked up through an HDMI cable why not also have the capability to play Blue Ray disks) and the same problem exists.  The BIOS will on a rare occasion actually recognize the DVD drive however as soon as it reboots again it will not and even when it did recognize the DVD drive by the time Windows loaded up it didn't pick up on it.
    I have tried all four SATA ports in combination with my SATA hard drive (and alternating between six different SATA cables too) but a vast majority of the time if I have both the hard drive and DVD drive plugged in the PC will not boot up - it just seems to hang (and sometimes doesn't want to let me into the BIOS).

    OS:  Currently Win XP Pro x64 (have Win 7 x64 disk but cannot install due to said problem with DVD drive recognition)

    I haven't tested with a third DVD drive simply because I don't have a third :(
    The original DVD drive (an OEM Sony Optiarc Beige 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD/CD Rewritable Drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118033) was what was being used while I was installing everything and was the drive that I was noticing wasn't always showing up in Windows Explorer (well more often than not wasn't appearing, but it seemed to last long enough to get all the initial installations done and I really don't used the ROMs much past that).  At the time I thought it might have been that the drive just went flaky and ignored it because I didn't use it. 
    The odd thing was it was also causing headaches when restarts were required for the same reason - the PC would freeze up on the motherboard splash screen (lack of a better term presently) where it normally does the POST tests (I think I am remembering that correctly .... when all the beeps takes place) so I unhooked the SATA connection to the motherboard for the drive and then the PC would actually reboot normally without the hanging.  This made me also think it was the drive causing problems.
    I've been running without any optical drive hooked up for a couple months now, but with getting my copy of Windows 7 I was getting ready to install that and picked up what I thought was the needed fix in a new DVD drive however when hooking it up the same problem started up again.  This time when trying to figure out a setting that actually worked I rotated through all six of my SATA cables (motherboard came with extras ) and rotated them through all four normal SATA slots.  Well actually I tied all six slots but it didn't seem like the BIOS wanted to pick up on slots five or six (the E-SATA if I recall correctly) as having devices (when I had the HDD and DVD Drive in slots five and six it said it couldn't find a bootable device).
    I'm at work now so I can't double check in the BIOS but I am pretty sure it is just set for SATA since I don't use RAID or AHCI - I'll check again on this when I get home though.
    The oddest thing about the whole thing (to me at least) is the lack of consistency with the BIOS recognizing the devices (well the DVD drive anyways).  I would have thought that if it recognized the device (which it has from time to time) that it would keep on recognizing it, but it seems to want to forget that it did recognize it even after it did by the time Windows loads up. 
    It does not seem to have any problems when only the SATA HDD is hooked up though. 
    If it really is the MB being flaky I think I would only have four options:
    1)  Buy a SATA PCI controller card and see if I can get things up and running that way - though this wouldn't solve the problem if the motherboard is flaking out and not 100% sure what it would do for installing new OS quite yet .... not to mention be a little odd when there are 5 other open SATA ports on the motherboard)
    2)  RMA the motherboard and hope a replacement/fix can be made and be without a PC for the duration
    3)  Not upgrade to Windows 7 and sit on that upgrade till whenever and also have a new expensive paperweight (if I take the ROM out of the PC)
    4)  Get a new MB .... really don't want to pick this one since I built the thing tail end of June/beginning of July (just was slowly ordering the parts for longer than that .... I really need to stop doing that - kills possible return chances)
    Of course I can also hope it is something else that I am just missing and that none of those are needed.  I actually built my setup based on what a friend of mine has since his is/was pretty solid.
