Satellite A60: firmware for DVD burner TEAC DV-W24e needed !

Hi guys,
I have a problem with DVD burner TEAC DV-W24e. It has been some time that it is no more able to write any DVD or CD. Today, I checked the firmware and saw that the version is not the good one at all. Could anybody tell me where I could get the last firmware for that DVD burner or could anyone send it to me by e-mail ! It would be great !!!!
Thanks to all and season's greetings.
Ben

I found a firmware update on the Toshiba page in the Satellite A60 area but its only for these drives:
- SD-R2212
- SD-R1312
- SD-R1512
- SD-R2412
- SD-R6112
- SD-R2512
I think you have to Google or to ask the drive manufacture for the right firmware
Nice page:

A slide show with audio created in PSE 9 plays fine in edit. When brought to Premier Elements for dvd burn, the audio no longer plays. It appears in the edit, but no audio is played. This happens consistently. What setting might be wrong?

That Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update has generally been discouraged by the Photoshop Elements gurus. But, I am not going to factor that into this at this point.
This is what I would ask you to look at in the Elements Organizer 9 accessed from the Photoshop Elements 9 or Premiere Elements 9.
a. Create your slideshow in the Elements Organizer 9/Create/Slideshow/Slideshow Editor. Then use the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements.
From your description, you are probably using the Output Option of Burn to Disc DVD which will take your slideshow directly in the Disc Menu section of Premiere Elements 9. The preferred transfer of the Elements Organizer 9 slideshow to Premiere Elements 9 Editor is by the non wmv route "Edit with Premiere Elements" not the wmv route of Burn to Disc DVD.
Let us explore if any of the above is involved in your issue and then we will decide what next if necessary.
Thanks.

Firmware for PSE burn cd/dvd

When I go to burn a cd/dvd with PSE 6, it says I might need an upgrade to the latest appropriate firmware for teh disc drive.
Has anyone had to download firmware when using PSE6 to burn a cd/dvd???
thanks for any help.
dee

If the Firmware is not upgraded, PSE would require the firmware to be upgraded. Without upgrading the firmware, you might face problem burning CD/DVD using external application as well.

Is there any work-around in Mavericks for DVD burning issue's

Ever since I installed the updated OX I get errors and problems burning disc's ( with my external Sony and OWC DVD burner's. Sometime's it freezes in the middle of burning and other times it hangs by the verification process. Even using Apple's own internal burner give's me these issue's. Even aborting the burn after it hangs is problematic. I usually have to turn off the burner and then on again and eject the disc . I use the latest version of Toast but have tried with Mac's own burning option. It makes no difference, both ways aren't working for me. In Bootcamp while trying to burn (on PC) side. The computer keeps crashing. I have had this experiance on my iMac and Mac Book Pro both early 2011.

Hi Pavan,
I am assuming you want to persist some intermediate values from a process XSLT invocation to another process XSLT invocation in BPEL.
An approach to persist variables in XSLT could be to persist them the target variable itself (in an optional section):
<li>This can be achieved by having an additional root element and mandatory element (say, data), having the actual schema and an optional complex type element (say, parameters, which would in turn consist of 2 elements name and value and maybe, if needed, type) attached to both the source and target schemas.
<li>whatever variable you would want to persist, you can append it in the XSLT to the target variable,as children of parameters node.
<li>Whenever, you want to invoke a partner link, you can have an assignment before invoking, which would assign the actual schema data (from element data) to the input variable of the invoke.
As there is no inbuilt solution for this, things could get messy.
Regards,
Shanmu.

Best Export Settings for DVD burning and Computer viewing

Hello,
I am trying to export a 1 hour video that I need to be compatible with standard DVD players as well as viewable on any computer.
Original footage was shot with a Canon 5d Mark ii in 24fps.
I have done all of my editing in Premiere Pro CS6. From there, I exported a high quality file to bring into Media Encoder (for trials of best output). My master file from Premiere was exported with the Preset MPEG2. The only thing I changed in the preset was VBR from 1 pass to 2 pass.. This gave me a 6.2 GB file.
I then brought that file into Media Encoder where I have tried the following presets:
MPEG2-DVD - Match Source Attributes
MPEG2-DVD - NTSC 23.976fps Widescreen High Quality
MPEG2 - HDTV 720p 23.976 High Quality
MPEG2 - NTSC DV High Quality
These settings have encountered various issues.. some have significant banding, but most importantly, none of them will play on my DVD player when I burn them to a disc.
The discs I am using are Sony DVD-RW with a 4.7GB capacity.
Where am I going wrong here? From what I've read, the format needs to be MPEG2 to be viewed on DVD... Sorry if I sound ignorant! This stuff is tricky..

First off, don't export your timeline and then take the result to AME to re-encode, this is compressing your video twice and degrading quality (not to mention takes extra time and hard drive space). Always export direct from Premiere to Media Encoder. If you must use an "intermediate" file as part of your workflow, perhaps to archive a completed video that might later be exported to other formats, then use a lossless codec such as UT or Lagarith (free downloads).
For DVDs, you MUST use "MPEG-2 DVD". Other forms of MPEG-2 are not appropriate, as the official DVD specification requires that the MPEG-2 file has certain attributes. Not recommended to use "Match Source" for ANY export, just choose an appropriate setting as needed.
This should be correct for your application - MPEG-2 DVD > NTSC 23.976fps Widescreen High Quality
If you want to encode a DVD file over 1 hour in length, then you will need to adjust the encoding bitrate so the resulting file will fit the disc. Rule of thumb is 560/minutes = bitrate, but you might round down the result a bit to allow for menu overhead and such, depending.
Once you export the "MPEG-2 DVD" file, you can NOT simply burn that file to DVD media. That is only creating a DATA disc and it will not be playable in a DVD player (though a computer or PS3/PS4 may work since they can play most media files). To make a DVD that works in all DVD players (and meets the spec), it MUST be "authored" in a program like Adobe Encore. This compiles your content and menus and all that and then writes the result to the disc in certain way so that DVD players can read the disc. If you open any DVD on your computer, you will see a folder called "VIDEO_TS" and inside that there are .vob files and others. That is a proper DVD. And once you have a proper DVD, you can't simply copy the VIDEO_TS to another disc (as DATA), you must tell the burning software to create as a "VIDEO DVD" and not DATA, or it again won't be readable in a DVD player. Very picky spec, sorry.
When using AME to export MPEG-2 DVD, it will create two files, audio and video (.m2v and .wav), you will then Import both of those into Encore together. Note that you CAN import other formats into Encore, such as .avi but Encore will then transcode that to the correct MPEG-2 format anyway, so best that you take charge and create the right media in the first place in AME before you get to Encore.
EDIT: In AME, any time that your source is higher resolution than the destination, such as HD to DVD, you can check the "Max Render Quality" button in AME to provide the best downscale quality.
EDIT 2: I see you're using DVD-RW media. That is fine for experimenting, but for delivery to clients always use good quality DVD-R or DVD+R media. DVD-RW may not have the best compatibility with players and costs more anyways. DVDs are so cheap now that I just proof to DVD-R and toss the bad ones, up to you.

Compressing Video for DVD Burn Makes Text Look jagged

Hello,
I'm currently at the final steps of a lengthy video production project and am struggling to make the text elements of my finished video display correctly after compression prior to burning it to DVD.
I create and produce music for a living and don't have nearly as much experience with video editing. I'm a bit new to all of this and am using FCE 4.0.1 to create my video & Compressor and DVD Studio Pro 2 to compress and author video for DVD.
*My main issue is this:*
I'm using an imported still image as the title card for my film. It's a mixture of large plain Helvetica Neu font text with some additional stylized lettering created in Photoshop (which is why I'm not using FCE's built-in text generators for the title card). The typography isn't very wild and crazy, it's basically big bold letters and a few gentle curves. I exported the image (1200x600) from Photoshop as a .png and imported it into FCE.
When I export my finished video file (.png title card and all) out of FCE, I export it as a raw uncompressed Quicktime file:
Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i
29.97 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (1440x1080) (Anamorphic not checked).
Field Dominance: Upper (Odd).
(It displays in quicktime at 1920x1080 though.)
After initially exporting from FCE, the title card image and all the other text in my movie created from FCE's built-in text generators look fine. It's only after I compress the finished movie in DVD Studio Pro or Compressor that I get jagged looking edges on the curves of my letters, primarily the title card image (the text generated by FCE's generators holds up okay).
In compressor I'm using the "MPEG-2 6.2 Mbps 2-pass settings for DVD" preset and in DVD Studio Pro. Using '2 pass VBR', 'Best' motion tracking, 'best' and 'highest quality' on all the compression settings I can find. I'm encoding at a total rate of 6.5Mb/sec max and 6Mb/sec average. These are standards for compressing to DVD and since I'm preparing a master for reproduction, I've been told I shouldn't increase the data rate over this or I'll run into player compatibility issues down the line.
Any ideas on how I can make this text image last through the compression process and still look clean and crisp without having to increase the data rate of compression? I'm going to play with different file formats for now, but it that doesn't work I don't know where to go from there.
Thank you for any help insights you can provide.

I started with a variety of HD raw footage (most of it gathered on Canon 5D Mkii SLR Digital camera in the form of: H.624 1920x1080) but converted all my raw footage prior to editing into:
Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i
29.97 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (1440x1080) (Anamorphic not checked).
Field Dominance: Upper (Odd).
I edited everything in Final Cut Express 4.0.1 using the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i60 at 29.97 fps sequence preset.
When I finished editing all my video I exported it as a raw uncompressed quicktime file which is also:
Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i
29.97 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (1440x1080) (Anamorphic not checked).
Field Dominance: Upper (Odd).
But when played in quicktime this finished video displays at 1920x1080, which I'm happy with. (I'm assuming this is the proper behavior of Apple Intermediate Codec? It seemed to take 1920x1080 footage, converted it to 1440x1080, and then spit it back out as 1920x1080 after the whole editing process.)
But seeing as how my issue is with an image file I'm creating in Photoshop and importing into my video sequence, I don't quite understand how the rest of my footage would really effect it. I've made sure to create the image using the same dimensions and pixel aspect ratio as my sequence frames by using one of the standard Photoshop screen templates (HD widescreen 1440x1080). I save my title card image as a non-interlaced .png file and import it into FCE.
When I place the imported image on the timeline, FCE doesn't resize it because it matches the frame dimensions of the sequence. When I view the image at 100% in FCE's viewer all of the image's lines, curves, and shapes display properly as they appear in my original photoshop file.
But for some reason FCE treats this imported .png image file as a 'rendered proxy.' So while it looks fine in FCE prior to rendering and exporting, when I export the video sequence containing this newly imported title card image, the resulting uncompressed quicktime file contains jagged horizontal lines across some of the characters in the title card image. It almost looks as if there's some interlacing issue going on.
However after much experimentation and trial and error I landed on a custom compression setting in Compressor that seemed to take care of this issue. I did as you recommended and selected a high quality 7.5 Mbps encoding preset (7.5 Mbps max/6.4 Mbps average), but noticed a 2 pass VBR rendered better results. What really seemed to do the trick was adding a deinterlace filter to the compression preset, and that miraculously seemed to eliminate the jagged lines in my title card image, restoring it to its original appearance (at least during my initial inspection in Compressor's preview mode).
After letting Compressor crank away, I looked at the finished compressed video in quicktime and the jagged interlaced-looking lines in my title card image have returned. Compressor's preview was somehow misguided.
Now my plan is to burn this compressed video to a DVD and view it on a TV to see if maybe these jagged lines in the final compressed version are only being caused by viewing on my computer's monitor. I'm hoping this is the case, otherwise I'm at a loss of what to do next.
If you need any more details please let me know. Otherwise I hope this is enough to give you a better idea of what issues I'm dealing with.
Thanks again for your insights.

512 ram sufficient for dvd burning?

My friend is about to buy an eMac and was wondering about the 512 ram. The only ram intensive application that she'll be using is the dvd burning software- the rest is just Appleworks and web browsing. Is 512 ram sufficient for her needs? She's on a tight budget but if the upgrade to 1 gb would make a significant difference she'll consider it.
Thank you,
Tracy

DVD burning (most specifically the compression stage which is the time-consuming part) is really more CPU-dependent than it is RAM, so 512MB, while not perhaps ideal for top performance, should be sufficient. I doubt that she'd see a lot of difference in burning time with 1GB, though not having performed real-world tests I can't say for certain. She should just make sure that no other application is running other than what she's using for the DVD burning (which would be good practice even with 1GB of RAM).
Regards.

Correct Fstab for DVD burner

Hi there!
I just installed a DVD burner in my sys and now i wanted to ask, what to insert in my fstab, because graveman only recognizes the dvd burner as a normal dvd drive.
here is what my current fstab looks like
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,size=512M
/dev/hdd /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fl vfat user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/storage1 ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/storage3 ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /media/storage2 ext3 defaults 0 0
thx

Here are the two relevant lines from my fstab. I'm not sure about your /dev/dvd part, but you definitely should change the ro (read-only) to rw (read-write) since it's a burner. That may be the problem.
/dev/hda /mnt/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/hdc /mnt/dvdrw auto rw,user,noauto,unhide 0 0

Converting .PES files for DVD burn.

I have been extracting .PES files from my personal video recorder.
I want to burn these files to DVD on my Mac (10.4) but I can't figure out how to do this. Quicktime won't let me view these files but I can view them files using VLC player but exporting to a format that my copy of Toast 8 recognizes is proving very tricky. Can anyone suggest a way or any software that will let me convert .pes files to something toast or quicktime will read?
Many thanks,
Julian

I received the email notification of your original post which read (and I taking the liberty of quoting it as it is interesting) and which I assume you edited:
Embroidery no, but I do sometimes think that it may be a more worthwhile skill to learn instead of messing about with my mac. .PES stands for Packetized elementary stream and you can read all about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PacketizedElementaryStream
I have no idea on how to convert those files, but you could try (depending on the file sizes) dragging the files straight to Toast to see if it will burn it to a DVD.

Imovie 560 minutes to convert movie for dvd burning.

I spent most of the day preparing a video and slide show project that was then going to be burned to DVD. After all the importing was finished and clips segmented I added transitions and had it looking real good. I then thought I could just burn to the DVD. To my surprise it is taking the Imac 20 560 minutes to prepare the video for burning in IDVD. The question is-- does it take this long or did I do something wrong. I needed the video in a hurry and was really surprised by the time it's taking.
Thanks "Art"

The question is-- does it take this long or did I do something wrong.
This is probably perfectly normal. The time required depends on the power of your CPU, the display size of the file you are exporting, the compression format you are using, the duration of your project, and whether or not a file of the same dimension has been previously shared and a copy available in the Media Browser.
Basically, exporting a files larger than "Medium" for burning can be a waste of time since VGA content will be scaled up only to be re-saled back down to VGA when converted to M2V by iDVD. While you may see a slight improvement in quality where the original content has dimensions greater than VGA, only you can determine whether or not the increase in quality is worth the difference in processing time. In addition, the default H.264 compression format is very CPU intensive where as if you export to a less complex format (e.g., MPEG4/AAC) the processing can proceed much faster. Having a long project, of course, takes longer to export. Lastly, if you use the same dimension for several different uses, the time can be saved since after the initial export (assuming you do not modify the project), iMovie '08 will simply "apply" the already exported "Media Browser" copy of the project to whatever additional uses you direct.

What's the best video format for DVD burning?

I need a recomendation; I've been turning some video files into mpeg4's for burning onto DVD. The files look fairly decent, but I'm wondering if AVI or DV or something else would look better. Any suggestions?

Hi Severian,
iM works internally (as the camcorder) with dv as compressor; that is highest quality possible with iM.
that can directly exported to iDVD (which will convert that directly into mpeg2)
any "in between" conversion, esp, into lossy formats as any mpeg-codec (which comes in many flavors as 1/2/4/h263/h264/...) means a dramatic loss of quality! the mp4 looks nice on your Mac, after second convcersion into a lossy format it will ... nogood on TV.
don't do that, don't fumble the workflow, let the apps do their jobs.... just hit "iDVD" in iM... Boom!Done....

Recommendations for DVD Burner Software

While I am stil mourning the loss of iDVD in my new Mac, I need to get equivalent or better software. What do you all recommend?

Do you still have your install disks with iDVD on them? iDVD works both in ML and Mavericks. If not, you can still buy it as part of the retail iLife 09 or 11 DVD available at online resellers and ebay. There is nothing better. Roxio Toast is good ($$), but it does not have all the customizable menus, themes, etc. I've not found an equal replacement - still using iDVD.
