DVDs burned using iLife 06 are not recognized

Hope someone has some advice for me. I have iLife 06 and have created a movie in iMovie. I sent it to iDVD to create the project and burn the DVD. So far, so good. But when the buring is complete, the DVD will not mount. It keeps getting ejected from the drive. All of my previous DVDs using iLife 05 work fine. I can't even make a copy of the DVD as it just won't mount. Help!

which program do I create the disk image?
With iDVD:
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. 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.)

Hard drive and dvd are not recognized in the setup menu, what could be wrong?

The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the setup menu for my Pavilion a4316f desktop computer. Could it be a failure of the controller? Can a PCI controller be used to replace the mother board controller?
This question was solved.

The Recovery process would erase you hard drive, and attempt to install a fresh OS. Decidely a bad choice if you wanted to save your data files. The Recovery sets are "tattoo" with the BIOS hardwafre configuration. It will not, IMHO, recognize the PCI Sata card.
You mentioned the Recovery program on the hard drive actually requested the installer of the controller (PCI card). Try running from that.

DVDs Are Not Recognized

I updated my PowerMac (2.0GHz G5, 3GB RAM, LaCie dual-layer DVD burner) to 10.5.6. I tried burning a DVD (copied from a VHS tape and converted to a VIDEO_TS folder, and burned via Toast), and everything was fine, but it crashed halfway through burning the DVD. That's happened before (ever since switchig to Leopard), but not recently. So, I put in another DVD+R and the same thing happened. So, I restarted the machine, and now it won't even recognize that there's a disk in the drive.
So, I powered down and restarted the machine and the same thing happens. I also tried DVD+R DL, and they're not recognized, either. I haven't tried putting in a DVD movie yet, though.
Any ideas?
TIA

Thanks for the replies.
I tried to mount blank DVD-R and DVD+R discs with sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/CD.
I keep getting the answer: mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0.
On some discs it returns with:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
but I have not been able to find a pattern for when it will do this.
I ran smartctl -T permissive -i /dev/sr0 with a disc in the drive and got this response:

Dvd are not recognized

Hi there
in many communities iMac users report the same problem I have, but no clear solution found so far.
My specs:
- iMac 27" (from mid 2010)
- 3.2 Ghz Intel Core i3
OS: OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
DVD-ROM OPTIARC
DVD RW AD-5680H, Revision: 3AHB
Issue:
- Many original DVD's are not recognized anymore...since a few weeks, before almolst no DVD was rejected.
-> It seems the more DVD's I try, the less my iMac can read....
No configuration changes, I've only made the regular oficial updates coming from Apple.
Any solution ideas, but cleaning the lenses? Much apreciated!

Have you tried a lens cleaning disk. One that uses dry brushes and no liquids? Have you looked into the OS X Mavericks: Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test?

Just purchased Nikon D610. tried to import 3 images and got this message: The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. How do I fix this frustrating problem. Have been using Lightroom for years also Nikon products without any prior

How do I import images. Have a message that says: The files are not recognized by the raw format suppot in Lightroom. Am using a Mac version 10.9.4. the import is from a new Nikon D610. Am using LR 4.4 Please help Adobe is useless as a support.

Each camera must be supported explicity and your LR version is years older than your camera.
According to Adobe's Camera-support page, you need at least LR 5.3 to work with your D610 NEFs in LR:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
If you don't want to upgrade to LR 5, or can't due to your OS being too old, then it might work to use the latest DNG Converter and create DNGs from your NEFs, which should open in LR 4.x. You can find the DNG Converter here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

Can iMessage be used with non iOS 5 users, ie non-apple users. My new i-pad 2 error message says these contacts are not recognized by imessage when I try to text some of these contacts.

Can iMessage be used with non iOS 5 users, ie non-apple users?
My new i-pad 2 error message says these contacts are not recognized by imessage when I try to send them a text.

So that means that I can send text messages through my i-phone to reach non iOS 5 users, but not through my i-pad 2.

Im running lightroom 4 and just purchased the Sony A7 and using its sd card. when I tried to load the photos, I got a message "the files are not recognized by the raw format support in lightroom"

Tried loading my raw files shot w my new Sony a7 and its sd card into lightroom4. Got a message: "The files are not recognized by the raw format in lightroom"
Does Lightroom 4 not work with the Sony A7?
Thanks,

Lightroom 4 cannot read the RAW photos from a Sony A7
You would have to download and install the FREE Adobe DNG Converter version 8.5 and then convert your RAW to DNG, and then import the DNGs into Lightroom 4
You could also purchase Lightroom 5.5, which will have the capability to read the RAWs directly.

Empty CD-Rs are not recognized

Hello,
I cannot burn empty CD-Rs, because they are not recognized. When I put an empty CD-R into my LG burner K3B tells me that no medium is inserted. CD-RWs and DVDs are working.
Any ideas? What additional information should I post?
Thanks

"The disk cannot be used because it is not recognized"

I have a MacPro (Sept. 2008 model) and now I tried to burn a CD, when I insert the CD-R it will recognize the CD insertion and ask me if I want to mount it with finder, I click yes and then it gives me this error and it doesn't mount:
*"The disk cannot be used because it is not recognized"*
I also tried a DVD+R and it gives me the same error, but when I insert a CD or DVD that is not a recordable media it mounts perfectly. Anyone knows how to correct this?
I inserted the same CD-R in my Aluminum MacBook (late 2008) and it worked perfectly, I was able to burn it without a problem.

This gets more strange by the moment. Toast will see AND burn the blank DVD/CDs when inserted, at least when using the PowerMac's internal Pioneer burner. (I haven't tried it on the external TDK burner.) I changed DVD/CD System Preferences from "Show in Finder" to "Launch Toast Titanium" and had no problems. The application launched on DVD insert and did the data burn flawlessly, though a bit slower than I remember it being on Tiger.
But there is still this inconsistency between the PowerMac and the MacBook Pro. On the former, Leopard simply refuses to recognize any media placed in the internal burner, but on the MacBook Pro insertion of a DVD/CD functions just like Tiger used to - mounts the untitled media on the desktop, allows drag and drop file adds, and allows burning by OSX finder or menu. Has to be some strange bug in Leopard code for a PowerMac G5.

My Samsung SE-S084F dvd burner, used with lion for months is now suddenly unsupported. Why?

My Samsung SE-S084F dvd burner, used with lion for months is now suddenly unsupported... how can it be possible? I can now read cd/dvd but trying to burn them gives me "Internal error". Disk Utility report: "Burn support: not supported".
I burned my last dvd three days ago, running lion 10.7.3. The only thing I can think of is a software update done few days ago, something about java.
Samsung says that lion isn't officially supported, but i've used it a lot and I know it works…
Things that i've tried:
1) reboot
2) firmware update
3) many different burning software including "drutil" from the shell
4) I've tested the device on another computer (ubuntu 11) and it works like a charm
Additional information (drutil info):

Any tips? Thanks.

Adding other info, it's getting even more weird...
I've tried booting from an old snow leopard backup, and surprise... the devise still doesn't work!!! same error!
It doesn't make any sense...
It's not broken but both SL and Lion on my MBP refuse to burn DVDs (they both burned a lot of them with that device in the past).
Same thing using the other USB burner borrowed by a friend, so i'm sure it's not a cable problem... what does remain? Mac's USB hardware failure? Impossible. On my SL backup there was installed Parallels desktop with an old ubuntu virtual machine configured, i've tried burning from it and it worked...
OSX (LS or Lion) + My MBP + USB Burner = fail
Ubuntu + My MBP + USB Burner = success
Ubuntu + Another computer + USB Burner = success
The could be some "broken" low level hardware bounded parameters, used only by OSX. I've already wiped NVRAM and PRAM, are there any other things i can try to wipe?

"This disc cannot be used because it is not recognized" Error

For about the last month I have not been able to burn any cd's. I have just upgraded to Leopard and that still didn't fix anything. I can read cd's but when I put in a cd-r disc to burn, the error "This disc cannot be used because it is not recognized" comes up.
G5 2 ghz, Sony DVD RW DW- U10A drive.

I too have been having a similar problem. I can read CDs but not burn them. The drive that I have is a pioneer 112D with the latest firmware installed v 1.24, (did it today) This drive is a replacement for one that died about 6 months ago. I have OS 10.4.11, the newest patch burn installed, repaired permissions, repaired disk from a start-up disk, tried to burn from toast, and itunes,and disk burn. I looked in the LaunchDaemons folder but it was empty. I called Pioneer and while it is still under warrantee, I have to send it in and wait 4 weeks to get it back. Not good service in this day and age! Anyone have any ideas?

Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic. What is the fix?

Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic. What is the fix?

If you are using automatic syncing with your old iPod, select that iPod in iTunes and go to its Music tab (next to Summary). Note how this Music tab is set up. Maybe you can do a screen shot.
Now, select the new iPod in iTunes. Go to its Music tab, like you did for the old iPod. Set up the new iPod's Music tab exactly like the old iPod, and Apply the change.
The music on your new iPod should now match the old iPod.
