DVD transfer problems

I put in my dvd in the computer, cuz i want to watch it on my iPod, but it says please insert a disc, when the disc has clearly been inserted. this isnt really iPod Question, but i need some step by step help

VHS can look great in black & white - it can be surprising how much definition can hide behind the lousy color and artifacts.
I only bring this up because going B&W will completely remove the pattern as long as you take it as B&W right from the deck. You can do this by simply clipping the C (chroma) wire of a Y/C cable from say an S-VHS deck.
Even if you don't do the luminance-only thing, the pattern should mostly disappear after being turned into B&W in digital land.
Not that this is what you wanted...

New to MacBook - slow LAN file transfer problem

My new MacBook is painfully slow when wifi-ing to my house LAN.
I turned in my old G4 iBook for a MacBook (2GHz C2D, 2GB, 10.4.9, all updates). I have a LAN that consists of a wired 1G Ethernet backbone (a Mini and a Powermac G5 are wired in) and a Snow AEB that provides 802.11g wifi access to the LAN. The wired LAN connects to a D-Link GB Ethernet switch so the wired systems can exchange files fast. The switch connects to a D-Link EBR2310 router that connects to a cable modem to ComCast. The router has the latest firmware (1.05, it's an 'A' version router).
The Mini, G5, and MB are static IPs on the LAN. The D-Link router passes out DHCP addresses >100, with addresses <101 reserved for static LAN IPs. I use static IPs for network reliability when recovering from power outages and other unforeseen glitches. The LAN has worked very well in this configuration, with fast file transfers among machines and good stability.
With my old 802.11g G4 iBook, I was able to watch DVDs that are stored on an external FW drive connected to the Mini. No stalls, no pauses, no dropouts - MenuMeters showed an average throughput of about 700KBytes/sec on the iBook when viewing a DVD. I used both VLC and DVD Player with good results.
With my new MacBook, I can't view my DVD files. 802.11g network transfer rates to the MB (indicated by MenuMeters and by Activity Monitor) vary rapidly from a high of about 1.1 MBytes/sec to 20 KBytes/sec. Movies stall, skip, etc.
Simple file copies from one system to another are also much slower with the MacBook - an average of ~100KBytes/sec vs. ~ 1.5 MBytes/sec with my old iBook. In short, the MacBook is dog-slow in file transfers from the other machines compared with my old iBook when using the wifi connection, with no change to the network infrastructure in going from the old laptop to the new. I would like to fix this.
My AEB is set up in bridge mode (simple access point) with WPA2 security. All three Macs are completely current with latest updates, as is the Snow AEB. The MB has 4 bars of signal strength. Slow file transfer problem does not change when moving the MB to or from the AEB.
Curiously, when I download a large file (like the Intel 10.4.9 combo update), the MB shows a steady ~800KBytes/sec download speed, with none of the speed variation it shows with file transfers from either the Mini or the G5. File transfers to/from the MB to either of the other Macs are very slow.
Both the Mini and the G5 have Airport cards: when I switch them from wired Ethernet LAN to wifi LAN, they transfer files between each other at ~ 2MBytes/sec - about what you'd expect from an 802.11g protocol. So the slow file transfer doesn't seem to be due to the AEB, it seems to be specific to the MacBook. When I connect the MB using its hardware Ethernet port, files transfer just as fast as the other systems.
I have tried these measures, without effect on the problem:
- power off/restart of every component in the system;
- changing the AEB to an open network mode;
- changing the MB from static IP to DHCP;
- toggling IPv6 on/off;
- running no applications other than Finder on all systems;
Activity Monitor on the MB doesn't show anything sucking up CPU cycles during file transfers. I have plenty of RAM. The only thing I've changed in the network is the swap of the iBook for the MacBook.
Can anyone suggest what else I can try to make acquisition of this nice shiny MacBook a step forward, rather than a step back? Thank you!

Hi,
Did you want to use the Live Migrations for that?
We recommend that you configure separate dedicated networks with gigabit or faster speed for live migration traffic and cluster communication, and these networks should be separate from the network used by the management operating system, and from the network
used by the virtual machines.

DVD Burner problem with P965 Platinum

I have had on going issue with my DVD burner. When i try to play or esp burn a DVD the whole PC slows down and i am unable to open or run any other applications. The Burner is connected via IDE cable and i have tried 2 other DVD Burners with all the same result. When i play a DVD the picture jitters and when i burn a DVD the burn rate is about 10 x slower than my other PC. It comes across as if there is a data transfer problem, not sure though.
Could this be a bios issue or maybe a faulty IDE port on the MOB ???
My system
MSI P965 Platinum
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
2 x 1GB DDR2 800mhz RAM
Leadtek 8800GTS 640mb G/C
W.D SATA II 320GB HDD
ASUS DRW-1612BL DVD Burner

I would also like to add that, this fix has also fixed my Lan input port. I built this PC about 3 weeks ago and from day one the Lan connection would come up with that "Limited or no connectivity" issue. So I thought it was a faulty Lan port so I went and bought a PCI Lan card to fix that issue.
But as soon as i applied this fix, I noticed the network connection popped up so I tried it out and the damn thing now works.
Extremely Happy
cheers

IMOVIE/IPHOTO TRANSFER PROBLEM QUESTION... HELP HELP HELP!!!
much like the email above, i am having trouble importing movies --all taken with my same nikon camera and uploaded to iphoto-- from iphoto08 to imovie08. i did a software update today and half the movies i wanted from iphoto, somehow, ended up on imovie. not the half i need to work with, by the way. just came back from christmas with the family. the first time my dad has seen my son. the first time my wife has seen my dad. lots of pictures. my dad wants copies. i got great ideas about making him a DVD... in imovie, i choose, "import movies", follow the steps, create a new event AND... no movie clips show up in my new event... BUT, when i click "mac HD" on my desktop and go the "imovie events", i see the movies is just supposedly imported to imovie as files and can watch them. doesn't help me much when trying to create a movie to send to my dad. no video is played in imovie. HELP HELP HELP!!! i went so far as to trash my 15 movies from iphoto because i thought perhaps the computer was seeing them as photos and not movies. right now my vacation movies are on my desktop. how can i get them to show up in imovie and start my project? HELP HELP HELP!!!

I think you have set your iPod to an option which everytime you connect it to itunes, it will delete all songs on it and replace it with songs currently in your library. What you need to do is click on the ipod on the sidebar, and on the bottem of the new page click the tick box that says "Manually manage music and video". That way you can delete old songs from your computer and they will stay on your ipod everytime you connect it. Hope that helps ^_^

File transfer problem

I have a 2009 intel iMAC running 10.6.8. Several months ago it developed a file transfer problem. When transferring files to an external server via ethernet cable, most of the time it will only let me transfer one file at a time whether is a small word document or a large video file that is several gigabytes. Even with transferring just one file, the elapsed time bar will not indicate the file has completely transferred. It stays open and appears as if it is still trying to transfer even though the file size transferred is equal to the size of the file. Plus the only way I can close the the transfer bar is to relaunch finder. Then when I go to the folder it was transferring it to, the entire file will be there.
Suggestions?

Have you tried restarting the external drive and the computer?

DVD drive problems : should I buy the new iMac ?

Hello, being new to these discussions, I don't know if this question was answered before.
My last iMac's DVD drive stopped working after 3 years use. And from reading the discussions, this problem seemed quite common.
But 3 years is not bad, considering the posts talking about the DVD drive not working on NEW iMacs.
Does anybody know if Apple is going to do something about this soon ? My computer is a working tool, and I cannot spend time or money on repairs all the time.
Thank you.
A Mac user since 1985

+"Well, since nobody has an answer, I suppose I will wait until I no longer see the DVD drive problems on the discussions."+
That might be a while. I bought my iMac Oct. 15 and the DVD drive is already not responding. Backing up files, I had burned 2 DVDs from the same package, Toast says this one is a CD-RW and unwritable, and makes a noise like it's trying to eject it but nothing happens. Disk utility says the DVD drive is empty and nothing shows up in the Finder. Using Terminal (drutil eject) and starting up with the mouse button held down makes the same noise as trying to eject it in Toast, with the same results - nothing.
Still trying to find the receipt to take it back & get it repaired. I sure miss the hole for the paper clip.

Leopard DVD player problems

every time I launch the DVD player program it crashes instantly i've tried to restart cause I thought it might need a restart but it still does even after the restart.

I too am having DVD Player problems, though certainly not that consistently. About 1 in 10 times I start up DVD Player it will immediately dim the screen and display in front the multilingual "you must restart your computer" message. Never happened with Tiger, but that was also a different computer. Doesn't matter whether I'm playing a VIDEO_TS folder or whether I'm playing a disc, doesn't matter whether there is even a disc in the player or not. For VIDEO_TS folder doesn't seem to matter if the folder is local or on a network. Also, I have had the same effect when viewing VIDEO_TS movies through Front Row; thus I think the problem may be pretty deep in the OS's video code, perhaps even in the driver. My system has Santa Rosa motherboard with x3100 built-in graphics.

You have posted your issue in Using Apple Support Communities whose topic is 'How to use this forum software's interface, features and/or how to find what you wish'. It is a relatively low traffic and inappropriate forum for your problem. I will ask our Hosts to move it to " Using iPad " where it may get a more rapid response from your fellow users.

How can I work around a DVD burning problem

Question: Does PSE and PE -7 solve this problem or make any difference at all?

This article, from the FAQ list at the top of this forum, is valid for all versions, since it may be a problem for any.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5f52c
The problem is not so much with Premiere Elements as it is with challenges faces in the operating system registry. Basically, DVD burner programs, like Nero, which are installed on your computer at the factory, refuse to share access to the DVD burner with other programs.

CD & DVD writing problems

Whenever i try writing cd's or dvd's,there is always a write error,i've tried writing 5 cd's today and a dvd but not even one completed successfully,any help please?my dvd ram is mat**bleep**a dvd-ram uj-850.

Regards how much space is available on the hard drive there is almost 90Gb of the 160gb available. Regards are we talking about writing or re writing this for writing either to CD or DVD. What ever happens i put in the disc, select the folder and it gives a message saying there is insufficient space on the disc for the files selected try removing some files and try again. This happens even if the folder has a file in it of 200Kb not even a quarter of a Mb. But as i say it reads Cds and DVDs no problem.

Superdrive replaced, DVD-DL problem still exists (sorta)

I have a Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 ghz Intel Xeon - the machine shipped with a SONY superdrive up top, and I installed a Pioneer in the bottom slot.
The SONY drive was able to burn dual layer DVDs - I am using Memorex DVD+DL disks. The SONY drive was NOT able to read the DVD dual layer disks that I burned.
The disks are readable in all other machines in my house (All Macs)
I called Apple, they said this is a known issue, and I needed to swap out my superdrive. I just picked it up from the Apple store and it now has an OPTIARC AD 7170A drive, which I believe is a SONY as well.
I just tried burning a dual layer DVD with the newly replaced drive, and it worked fine the first time, however the verification failed. The 2nd dual layer DVD I tried to burn just plain failed - MEDIUM ERROR.
The drive CAN burn dual layer DVDs, but it CANNOT read them. The drive can read and burn DVDs no problem.
Why on earth would the brand new drive fail to read the dual layer DVDs, but everything else reads just fine???

I had very similar problems with the Sony OPTIARC drive in my 2007 Mac Pro (Intel Xeon, 10.4.11).
I found others having the same problems here with the OPTIARC and some said it was 2nd-rate quality. Also - I never liked the noise it made while burning, sounded "cheap."
I got the Samsung Internal DVD/CD 'Super-MultiDrive' DVD DL/CD w/LightScribe. From macsales.com ($29.95 USD). This unit requires you install Patch Burn (software) but runs fine, no more "coasters" from any format DVD, including DVD-R DL (but never tried DVD+R DL). After testing, bought a 2nd one for the lower bay.
The Samsung unit comes with a plastic front (bezel) which must be removed to fit properly. This is easy & quick: illustrated instructions on the macsales.com website.
I wanted the Lightscribe labeling system: no fuss & bother with design / printing labels. Burn DVD, flip it over, launch Lightscribe, enter text in"Edit mode" - click "Print" and 3-4 minutes later your DVD is labeled.
I do wish I could find a way to get both drives working at once (i.e., labeling two DVDs at once, burning two at once). Otherwise: completely satisfied.

575 LRE and data transfer problems

575 LRE and data transfer problems
Hello,
I have a connection from my provider using the Cisco 575 LRE, configured for 10 Mbit/s. I don't know the make and model of the switch but I assume it is likely a Cisco device also.
I'm experiencing problems with the LRE connection whenever big files are being transfered simultaneously in both down- and upstream directions to/from a PC. The data transfer may slow down to a stall and all WAN connectivity may become momentarily blocked. Transfer speeds and reliability always seem good as long as big files don't get transferred in both directions at the same time.
What could cause this problem? My service provider says that they see no problems in their end and they are unable to help me. I don't know how extensively they have looked into any possibility of problems though.
I've tried different 100Mbit network cards, replacing ethernet and phone cabling and changing duplex settings and MTU, but nothing has completely solved the problem so far. Forcing network cards to full-duplex does prevent the worst slowdown and hanging described above, but limits upload speed to around half of the maximum available.
Not sure if this is meaningful here, but my service provider claims they have the switch my CPE is connected to configured for full-duplex, but when I have a PC network card set to autonegotiation, it will always result in a 100baseTX half-duplex link with the 575 - this is the case where I get maximum speed in either one direction but also the mentioned problems with bi-directional transfer.
I don't know what more I can do to the PCs here to solve this problem and I don't have access to configuring the CPE device, because I don't own the switch it is connected to. I can only think of trying to ask my ISP to read this thread if someone has a possible solution that requires actions on their behalf.
Any help would be much appreciated.

The problem, as you describe it, is most likely cabling ...it could be the cable between your PC(s) and the 575 (most likely), or between the 575 and the switch.
What you are seeing are the effects of crosstalk (signal from one pair interfereing with the other pair), that's why you see it in full-duplex mode and not (so much) in half-duplex (with half-duplex, only one side talks at a time).
The only part you would be likely be able to change would be the connections on your side of the 575 ... so, try another cable; preferably a store-bought cable and in good shape (twisted, crushed, kinked, stretched, and poorly constructed cables are a Very Bad Thing).
LRE was designed to handle voice-grade cabling, but if you're at near the extreme length, you may see some degradation.
Good Luck

Having problems with DVD transfer with PQ DVD

I bought the full version of PQ DVD because when I tried the demo version, it worked. After I bought the full version and converted the whole movie using the software I could not get it to add into the Itunes library. When I click add file and the name, the screen flashes for 2 seconds and nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do.

I have no experience with that, but I don't think so with a disc image. It's purely data. I've been burning a 2-hour feature this way for a couple months and it doesn't take long to burn 4gigs on the current DVD burners. I always verify, btw.
EDIT - I realize it's all data. But I think doing real time burning of video is treated differently than a disc image, but I could be wrong.

DVD-burner problems using 925X NEO Platinum

Hello,
I've experienced a lot of problems trying to burn DVD's lately. Both of the latest DVD burners I've used only burn DVD's at 1.5x speed. I read a post on this forum about a guy who experienced exactly the same and he was adviced to switch the DVD burner to IDE1 instead of IDE2. I did that, but never got my computer to start again. (It only said read falut, press ctrl+alt+del to try again).
I now use a DVD-burner from LG (GSA-4163B), I got all the latest drivers, BIOS etc. I also have tried burning on all (almost) different types of DVD's. The result is the same = only 1.5x speed. CD's burn only at 10x at the most.
I've also learned that my HD's only use PIO-mode, and cannot use DMA at all at the moment. WHY? They are both set to "use DMA if possible-option". I use a MAXTOR 6Y120P0 and a SEAGATE ST320413A.

Quote from: Assaf on 29-August-05, 21:47:38
Windows XP falls back to PIO if it detects transfer errors.
Possably a bad cable caused that.
You should be able to get back to DMA by deleting the IDE controllers from the device manager and rebooting.
In DMA mode your burning speed should pick up.
If you are using cheap rounded or extra long cables (over 45cm) I would consider replacing them.
OK, I've changed the MSI-cable (that was rounded and looked pretty cheap) that was connected to the burner
& DVD-rom, but it seems nothing really happens when I uninstall my (6) IDE controllers. They re-install themself
when rebooting, but still use the PIO mode. Should I uninstall all 6 controllers (3 primary, 3 secondary) at the same
time and then reboot, or what?
I bought a new, quite expensive IDE-cable recently, which I use for the burner + DVD-rom, but it's 60cm long.
Should I replace it? Is that really necessary?
Thanks for the reply!!
