DVD SP will not recognize my disc.

Just recently DVD SP stopped recognizing the discs in my DVD Drive. Whenever I send a DVD to burn the software tells me that I need to insert "acceptable DVD recordable media" then when I open the drive and insert a new disc it does nothing. It was working fine using the same DVDs and everything before, it has just stopped.
I have tried burning a disc outside of DVD SP and the drive works fine, so it seems like a problem with the communication between the software and the hardware... any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi:
Wellcome to the forums !
DVDSP uses to be more "sensitive" to media than Disk Utility and/or Toast when burning discs. Besides that, DVDSP tries allways to burn at max speed, and under some burner/media combinations that can add more problems.
That was the first reason for me to change my burning workflow . . . some time ago, and vener tried again to burn using DVDSP itself.
Now I create a disc image of my project and burn it using Toast and/or Disk Utility. read this Creating Disc Image in DVDSP tutorial.
Besides that, what media are you using?
Hope that helps !

  • DVD Drive will not recognize any movie DVD disk in the drive - thus will not play any dvd movies.

    HP G71 449WV dvd drive will not recognize any dvd disc that has a movie on it. Will not play movies, keeps saying to insert disc when there is a disc in there.  It will recognize a dvd data disc or a blank dvd, it just will not recognize any dvd movies.  I've tried the microsoft fix it, downloaded new codecs, using different dvd playback software but none of that works since the drive will not recognize there is even a dvd movie in the drive.  Computer is out of warranty.

    Hello crollinsphoto1, welcome to the HP Forums.
    It appears that you're not able to play movie DVD's in the DVD player in your notebook. I will try to assist you with this.
    I'd recommend starting with this document:
        Resolving DVD and Blu-ray Movie Problems (Windows 7).
    Also, are these purchased DVD's or burnt DVD's?  
    Do the movies play in other sources? (DVD player, other PC)
    Let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

  • HP Pavilion DV4 DVD's will not recognize on my cd/dvd drive

    Hello everyone,
    Im having an issue opeing up dvd's on my drive.  I found this out recently when I tryed to watch captian america on my computer it will not recognize that i have a dvd in my computer however when i put a cd with pictures or music on it it reconizes it and plays the music or shows me the pictures.  Can someone help me?

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Check if the drive will now play DVDs.
     If the drive still doesn’t work correctly, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
    Regards,
    DP-K

  • Running parallels with windows xp. want to upgrade my Quickbooks to 2013, but it will not recognize the disc.  Help!

    running parallels with windows xp and OS X Lion.  Trying to upgrade my Quickbooks on the windows side to the new 2013 version.  The windows side does not even recognize the disc.  What am I doing wrong?

    S that QB edition is only for windows 8. It won't run on any earlier version of windows.
    Looking at the QB 2013 system requirement it runs on XP.

    So the version of windows is not your problem. Your problem is the virtual machine is not se to use the mac dvd drive. Have you looking into the machine settings. Not windows settings, the virtual machine settings. Make sure it is set to connect the mac dvd drive to the virtual machine.
    A good place to start would be the parallels help system. Not the windows help system.

  • DVD drive will not recognize blank DVDs after upgrade to Lion.

    It finds burned DVD/CDs but not blank ones. Disk utility partially sees blank dvd, gives option to eject it, but will not allow eject it. Finder does not see it at all. have to restart to have it eject. Tried different DVD's (Manufactures and -R / +R, etc). Have followed recommendations on resets and have even reloaded the OS.  This problem started immediately after upgrade from snow lepoard to lion.

    Repairing permissions yes. But in my head, if everything is working fine for it, just won't read Blank media, could it be a software thing?
    I'll give it a shot in a few hours

    what can i do?

    Yeah, that's not good. You could try resetting the SMC, sometimes it helps. Other than that you have two choices replace the drive, either yourself or by someone, or just buy an external drive. Considering that your Mac is 5 years old I'd go the external route. To reset the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • Vista, dvd/cd will read and burn but will not recognize software disc to load programs

    HP M8120N running vista home premium, I can burn cd/DVD's, I can view and open pictures and data files files from dvd/cd but I can't install software programs from the drive. Even tried just opening up the drive to view the disc and get please insert disc message, Please, can anyone help?

    Keith, just for grins, go to your Apple and click it and then choose System Preferences, and when it opens choose CD-DVD and see what option you have checked for the different media.
    Just a chance when you did an update it might have changed a default setting you had.

  • DVD burner will not recognize my DVD disc DVD-R or +R on IQ500 model. Suggestions?

    I've tried two different brands and two types of DVD.  I have tried to burn to disc through Adobe Elements and Windows Media Player and another.  I've spent 4 days trying to figure this out.  Someone please help me!!!!
    My DVD burner does say it is up to date and working properly.  I have burned music and videos before on it.  I'm stumped.

    Hi.
    I wonder if we may have some details about your pc.  The operating system and product number should be enough. (P/N) Really would like to help you figure the issue out.  There may be updates available for your product that can help resolve the problem.

  • Used Bootcamp to install Windows 7. Now, my macbook pro 13 mid 2009 will not boot back into OSX, there is no Bootcamp utilities like there should be anywhere to be found, and the DVD drive will not recognize the OSX install disk that came with my laptop.

    Basically all in the title. Also, some additional info: partition was 115 GBs for Windows, 385 or whatever for OSX (I have a 500 GB Harddrive), I have tried restarting multiple times, and the drive will recognize the DVD, but almost as if the DVD is blank, as it asks me to format it or drag files to it, etc.

    Hold your "Option" key down while starting your machine.  Continue to hold it down until you are presented with the boot menu which should allow you to select either OS X or Windows (provided you didn't somehow wipe your OS X partition).  When you get into OS X, you can go to System Preferences / Startup Disk.  Here you can select the default startup partition (OS X or Windows)... when you're installing Windows via BootCamp, it gets changed to Windows so when you finish setting up BootCamp, it automatically reboots and launches the Windows installer.  Installing all of the Windows drivers from the OS X DVD should provide you with a Startup Disk option under Windows as well.

  • DVD Player will not Start Playing Disc Automatically...

    I am not sure when exactly this feature stopped working... I have the most current version of the DVD Player program (App Version 5.0.1, Framework Version 5.0.3) and I have all the settings the same as I have always had (within the Preferences Menu: Player Tab: When DVD Player opens, start playing disc (checked) AND When A Disc Is Inserted, start playing disc (checked)...
    Do I have any other configuration that needs to be set for this feature to work? The DVD Player works fine, but of course after I press PLAY and then I get the menu that pops up that asks me if I want to start the movie from the previous location, start the disc over, etc.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I would try going to System Preferences CDs & DVDs pane, then set "When you insert a video DVD" to something else, such as "Ignore." After verifying that inserting a DVD does nothing except mount the disk to the desktop, reset it back to "Open DVD Player."
    Sometimes, rewriting the preference file gets it working again.

  • Satellite L300D will not recognize USB Disc unless WLAN is disabled

    I have a venerable Satellite L300D running Vista SP2. I also have a Fujitsu 40Gb SATA disk drive from my old laptop in a USB 2.0 caddy, with dual USB plugs to draw more current.
    I can connect the USB caddy successfully to my Windows 7 laptop through a single USB plug on a USB 2.0 socket so I know it works.
    On the Satellite L300D it sets up the Generic USB disc in device manager, but does not register the 2 disk partitions as filestore in Windows Explorer. In fact when you try and expand COMPUTER in explorer it times out.
    I noticed that the WLAN (Realtek TL8187B) is on the same USB 2.0 Controller, so I disabled it. This switched off my Wireless, but immediately Windows Explorer fired into life and I could access the partitions (D: and G:) and could even run check disk (no fails) and defragment it. As soon as I ENABLE the WLAN driver the disc fails to register.
    I have updated the Realtek drivers from the Toshiba web site, but I would like a solution that allows me to use the disc AND the WLAN at the same time.
    Anyone any ideas?

    Thanks for getting back to me.
    I use both USB drives and a Toshiba external HDD and SyncToy to backup my files - both without trouble. The Toshiba HDDworks fine today - in Device Manager it is recognised as "TOSHIBA External USB 3.0 USB Device" (even though I dont have USB 3.0 ports on my laptop) and is recognised by Partition manager as disc D:. The Disc caddy is recognised as "Generic USB Disk USB Device" - but not by Partition Manager - both use the same driver and hang off the same controller. The Caddy disc works fine on my other laptop (Windows 7) and once I've disabled the WLAN.
    I had not done any specific driver downloads other than let Windows Update do its thing. It has taken me to Vista SP2 and I note that the "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" (above the USB Root Hub and USB Mass Storage Device in the Device Mgr hierarchy) are at File Version: 6.0.6002.18465(vistasp2_gdr.110505-037).
    Since I noticed the recognition problems and interaction with WLAN, I have done some attempted repairs (1) downloaded the latest Toshiba realtek WLAN drivers "6.1162.0610 built by : Win DDK" (realtek_wlan_20100225.zip) - but it was failing before then. (2) I have also upgraded the BIOS to version 1.80. (3) The only other change I've made is to change the driver on the PCI bus from AMD (3GIO) Filter Driver to PCI Bus on advice from another forum.
    When you say "remove the WLAN driver, reinstall the chipset driver and install the WLAN driver again" what exactly do you mean? EG in deveice manager - select WLAN - do uninstall ; what do you mean by chipset? - uninstall the Controller as well or some other device?

  • HT1338 I just purchased an iMac and an HP LaserJet M1217nfw printer.  The iMac will not recognize the disc that came with the printer.  What can I do?  This is my first Mac and just might be my last.  Installation has not been fun.  I would appreciate any

    I just purchase an iMac and an HP LaserJet M1217nfw printer.  I could not install with the installation disk that was furnished by HP.  This is my first Mac product and I'm just not sure what I'm doing...help!  I don't know if it's a mountain lion, a tiger, or a dog!  The box says OS X. I really need help.  Thanks for your time.

    What Mac operating system are you running on your iMac?
    Are you certain they're compatible?
    Have you checked with HP to see if there's a newer driver?
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4 075472
    In addition, I haven't loaded on any software with my last 3 printers.  They just work without them, IMHO.
    But a current driver would be necessary.

  • CD/DVD Drive will Not read CD/DVDs

    This desktop is only about 3 months old and so far has worked great!! But since last week for some reason the CD/DVD Drive will not read any disc. The tray will open but then nothing happens at all once a CD/DVD is in. Doesn't even sound like it is spinning. Any ideas?? Please help!! Thanks!!

    Also it is running Windows 8 and is a Ideacentre K410. And the CD/DVD Drive it is showing I have installed is TSSTCorpDVD-RW SH-216BB Not sure if that has always been the drive or not.

    I have an old XP{ and it would be a shame to say I spent all this money on this machine and I cannot even burn a Disc!

    Hi
    To give you some precise answer it will be interesting to know which DVDs are not readable. Meaning of word 'some media' is to general and not helpful to understand the problem.
    Satellite A30 is pretty old notebook model and it is possible that ODD functionality is not good anymore. You can try to clean the lens.
