DVD Stutter with Satellite L series

DVDs have been playing just fine for the past year, but last night they started to stutter, audio and video.
I've compacted the HD and freed up as much memory as possible by turning off AV etc, but this wasn't necessary before.
Any suggestions as to what's happened and how I can correct it are much appreciated.
Alex

What is your notebook model?
Did this stuttering start immediately? Maybe a option would be to clean the lens of the drive with a special lens cleaner for CD/DVD drives.
I suggest you to start with cleaning and if the problem persists then contact your local servicepartner to let your machine check by a toshiba technician.
Cheers

What are compatible DVD-RWs drives with Satellite Pro 6000

Hi
Can any one tell me what dvd rw's is compatible withe the satellite pro 6000?

Hi
Its always hard to find any information about compatible drives because of the different master / slave and c-sel settings.
In my knowledge Toshiba user manuals dont provide such information. Ok, I dont know if all user manual dont provide this but I did not find such info in my user manual.
However. I have investigated a little bit a someone has suggested that Toshiba SD-R6372 dvd writer is compatible with Satellite Pro 6000/6100 units.
I found it on a very popular online auctioneers ;)

No TEAC cd/dvd driver for Satellite A105 2101 not available???

I have looked everywhere for a driver to replace my Missing or Corrupted (code 39) TEAC DW-22-224E-C driver for my Satellite A105 series! I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, and I have the latest update. It is still not working - i get a code 39. I can put a cd in my internal drive, hear it spin, see the yellow light go on, then the light goes off and it stops spinning. Any suggestions???? If I take it down to a total recovery and it still doesn't fix the driver, I lose all my software application that I have installed - if it deletes it - because I won't be able to use the cd/dvd drive to reinstall anything. I NEED HELP PLEASE! Thank you for anything you can do to get me out of this jam!

New DVD writer on Satellite M40-193 uses 100% CPU

Hello anyone,
recently I have replaced my DVD-writer with a new one. My laptop is a Satellite M40-193 (PSM40E-06M026IT) and the original drive is a Mat****a UJ-831B. I have replaced it with a Sony-Nec Optiarc AD-7633A because I like the slot-in feature and the Labelflash feature.
Unfortunately it makes me a problem. It will use 100% CPU every time I use it. I cannot figure out the problem. Is there anyone who can help me? It is a software problem or hardware?
Thank you.

After six days this is the only help I can get on this forum: "...this optical disc drive is compatible with your notebook model?".
The ATA communication bus is a standard.
The exsistence of a compatibility list does not means that ONLY those drives present in the list can work with the relative notebook.
Those drives are the ones tested and the ones that Toshiba says: "this drive surelly work" but not says "this is the only drive that work".
In fact I have RESOLVED the question with a little software I have found on another forum and now my drive works perfectly and I have a newer and more featured drive than those in the list.
Thank you Mike

How will i know the model of my Satellite M100 series?

just my last thought. How will i know what model am i using, it is satellite m100 series but i still dont know what specific it is...
thanks for helping

Hi Enrique
Its very simple to find it out.
At the bottom of the unit you will find the label which provides all this useful information.
You should also find the number beginning with the PSM.
This number is important to identify your notebook model for example
for driver download.

Recording fios tv to DVD recorder with tivo/fios cablecard

ok this post is for my dad....and if ur thinking why the hack does he want a dvd recorder when they already have a tivo...don't ask my dad is kinda weird he still "tapes" shows on VHS tapes using vcr, and tapes radio shows on cassettes....then again he also still pyas his bills with a pen, a check and the us postal service.....
anyway, I didn't know much about the world of dvd recorders before a couple days ago, so I have a few questions before and if I actually decide to get him one.
Question 1: we currently have an HD TV with an HD tivo connected and a multistream verizon fios cablecard. My question is regarding copyright limitations....what prevents you from just recording any tv program onto dvd, as you still can onto a VHS? and what percentage of the channels/shows have this protection? like would he only be able to record from the original 12 or so broadcast channels? this is my main concern....he watched a lot of the sports channels like espn espn2 golf channel nbatv etc....
Question 2: also, when doing my research I thought of another benefit a dvd recorder may have. I have been putting all the family home videos which are on vhs onto dvd, but it's a bit of a process. I use an external usb capture device made by Hauppage hooked up to the VCR then the computer captures it realtime and generates an mpeg video file on my hard drive, THEN I have to spend the 1 or 2 hours it takes to convert to DVD format and burn with Nero so it can be played on a regular DVD player......so....question being....
can a standalone DVD recorder hook up to a VCR to transfer video direct to a DVD, or do you have to buy a DVD recorder with a built in VHS deck?
Question 3: oh and someone once told me that you can only play the recorded DVD's on the recorder, and not other regular DVD players...I couldn't believe this was actually true...but was he right?
TIA!

Answers:
Question 1: if the DVD recorder is connected to the TIVO there shouldn't be anything prohibiting him from recording. The signal sent out from the TIVO is an unencrypted feed that can be processed by anything (TV, VCR, DVD recorder, ETC). As long as theres no restrictions within the DVD recorder itself, you should be fine to record anything. This also means you have to record realtime (press play on TIVO and record on the DVD recorder and wait the amount of time for the event to end before pressing stop)
Question 2: You would need to talk to the tech support for your DVD recorder. Its going to depend on what types of video streams and formats it will accept as a source
Question 3nce again this is a question for the DVD recorder tech support, not Verizon. It depends on the file format that the recorder saevs the file as. Not only that, but different players also can read different formats. So you have to take a look at the recorder and the dvd play back device

Looking for a DVD Player with same functionality as CyberPro Power DVD

I have just converted from PC to Mac, and love it, but have a special requirement and need some guidance.
I work in TV and need to be able to preview footage shot on site that has been converted onto a DVD. On my old PC using Power DVD, after hitting 'Play' I can fast forward and fast reverse, and increase the speed of FF or FR in small increments (up to 32 times normal speed) using the scroll wheel on my mouse. That gives me a lot of control as I search through countless hours of footage to shot list, and saves heaps of time.
With the standard Mac DVD Player, I can hold down the FF and FR buttons to get a slight increase in speed, but it is still far too slow and clumsy for what I need.
VLC was recommended, but when I hold down the FF and FR it scrolls in minutes, whereas I need to scroll in frames.
Does anybody know of a high quality DVD Player with the scrolling features similar to Power DVD that I can purchase?

Have you tried, +DVD Player>Controls>Scan Rate+ ?

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

DVD menu title selection on DVD player with DVD's burn from iDVD

Regarding DVDs burned with iDVD 6.0.3, I have burned multiple DVDs with 6 buttons on the main menu page each of which links to a short film. On the menu screen when I push the right arrow button on the DVD remote not all the menu buttons light up. In addition to pushing the right arrow button on the remote, I have to push the up or down arrow button on the remote (to the DVD player hooked up to the TV) to get to some of the buttons in my DVD menu to be selectable. The buttons are arranged by me in a grid sort of pattern. Is there a way in iDVD I can get all the buttons to be selectable using only the right or left arrow keys on the DVD player remote? Do you understand what I am asking?

Hi powerbookaid
And welcome to apple discussions. It's actually difficult to find standalone versions on ebay and CL / Apple's FCP and DVDSP. I found them myself but it took me a very long time. Not always something you can do overnight. But if you are very patient something will show up eventually.
If you need something now that works (although I advise caution as in backup your dvd or video_TS first) then consider this app for much less money (donationware):

No audio on dvd burned with idvd6

Relevant software: Mac OS 10.4.11, iMovie 6.0.3, iDvd 6.0.3
Problem: No audio on dvd burned with iDvd
What happened: Created movie in iMovie (audio and video fine). Shared to iDvd (audio and video fine on playback). Burned Dvd. No audio on dvd but video is fine.
What I did:
1. Saved as disc file. Opened with VLC and DVD Player. No audio, video fine.
2. Deleted encoded assets in iDvd then 1 (above).
3. Removed non-Apple extensions in Library/Quicktime. Then 2 and 1 (above).
I've read other discussions about this same issue and followed those recommendations as well as that in the article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303550.
Clearly I'm missing something. But, what is it? Anyone have any suggestions?

i too am having the same problems with iDVD 6.0.4. I just ended up wasting 5 hours of time burning these damned DVDs... what was really strange is that the first DVD I burned was a dual-layer, and I checked that one on a set-top DVD player and it worked fine. I then needed 5 more copies of the DVD, so I simply inserted a fresh dual-layer DVD into the drive at iDVD's prompt of 'Would you like to burn this disc again?'.
Assuming that they would all be fine since the first one was fine, I simply burned 5 more DVDs. Only now, checking them after I've wasted a godawful amount of time burning them, do I find that they're all f#$ked. Thanks apple.
Crap like this makes me steamed. My PC burning software doesn't have nearly the same simple, elegant interface as iDVD, but it also lacks this CATASRTOPHIC problem. I mean, dual layer DVDs are relatively pricey... so screw apple. i will be glad to go home to my PC after being forced to work with this junky, buggy software.

CD or DVD Sharing with new Mac Air on LION!

I was thinking that I would be able to put in audio CD I was going to be able to watch it. If I put a cd I get the following error: The operation can't be completed because the original item for "Audio CD" can't be found.
I also trie to play a DVD. With the DVD I am able to open the DVD and look into the files but it won't play the movie.
The Apple Genius stated that this is how the CD or DVD Sharing works. It was not intended for you to you to play an audio cd from another computer or watch a DVD from another computer.
Do you guys agree with this?

Sorry it's not the answer you hoped for.

Scatter Plot With Multiple Data Series

Hello,
I would greatly appreciate any help you guys could give me.
I need one scatter plot that shows 4 different groups of data. They all go with the same X and Y axis values, though.
I can get a scatter graph with ONE group, but it won't let me add in another one. I tried the clicking and dragging the new cells, and the shift clicking, but the data just will not go into the chart. It's like it doesn't recognize it.
I think I read something about sharing the X values? But I don't know how to do that?
Thanks a ton in advance!!

Pop,
Badunit's example is one possible arrangement that you might have described; that is, one column for X values and several columns for Y values. This is the case when you should respond that you are sharing X-values. With all the data in one table, you can select it all at once, so you don't have the problem with dragging additional series into the chart.
The Numbers User Guide PDF's first chapter is the place to start getting your bearings - you will learn how to distinguish Header vs. Body rows and columns. It's worth the effort to take another look at it.
Since you are using a Scatter Chart, it's important not to use a header column for X because X values must be Numeric, as opposed to Text.

300N Router/Adapter not working with Satellite internet

I had previously SRX200 router and it was working fine with Satellite but recently I bought again 300N router and adapter but it's not working. It give the strong signal for few seconds and drops it rightway. Please let me know if there is something I need to do with settings.
Thanks
Paul

Paul make sure that the firmware of this router is upgraded to the latest version 1.03.0, it resolves a lot of issue.

Report Builder with multiple data series

I am not able to figure out how to create a bar chart using
multiple data series in the Report Builder. I can do it with
explicit CFML coding but not in the Report Builder. I am running MX
version 7 with the current (as of 9/1/07) download of the Report
Builder.
My table contains visit information by site, with standard
demographics on each visit (age, race, gender, etc.) I am trying to
analyze the data by site, for example, race by site.
I am using an SQL statement to sort and group by site &
race. I can get a chart of the number of visits for each site or
the total number of visits by race across all sites. But I can't
get race by site. The SQL statement looks like this:
SELECT race, site, COUNT(*) as counter
FROM visit_info WHERE userid = #session.uid#
GROUP BY site, race ORDER by site, race
Every variation I have tried for showing race by site either
leaves out part of the results or creates a bar chart that has the
race and site categories as separate entities (White, Black,
Chinese, Site1, Site2, Site3, etc). I've also tried creating a
combined variable (site_race) but that doesn't seem to fare any
better.
Any help would be appreciated.

Replacing Internal DVD Drive with HDD in Mac Mini?

Has anyone tried replacing the internal DVD drive with a hard drive, giving you TWO internal hard drives? I think you need a cable to match up the SATA connectors. Then you could use a USB external enclosure for the DVD.
Thanks.

Very interesting, thanks el Duque. Too bad MCE doesn't make a carrier for the Mac Mini. I wonder if one for a Macbook Pro can be easily modified to fit?
I have just learned that the SATA connector on the logic board for the optical drive in Macbooks and the Mini is called a "Slim-SATA" connector. Instead of the power side of the connector having 15 pins, it only has 6, with both types of connectors having a standard 7-pin data side. Both power and data hook-ups are achieved in a single connector -- a power side and data side.
Since the ports on 2.5" hard drives are "standard" SATA connectors, AND they don't match up to the logic board's connector location (like with the connector location on the optical drive), a cable is needed to run between the HDD and the logic board connector.
Unfortunately, such a cable is not available -- yet. Instead, one has to be fabricated out of two types of SATA cables -- a Molex 4-pin to SATA 15-pin power cable and a combination cable that looks like this:
http://www.byteccusa.com/product/SATA/SATA-XP118/SATA-XP118.htm
The fabrication involves replacing the molex 4-pin power end of the combi-cable with the SATA power end of the molex 4-pin to SATA power cable (cutting and soldering). The BIG question now is whether a HDD will work with just the two-wire power cable (of the combi-Sata cable) that an optical drive normally uses? Anyone know if it will? Thanks.
