How can my G5 burn a DVD that it can't play back

I'm using DVDSP4. Bit rate is 6.8 max and 5.0 min. This is a head scratcher. It plays fine in DVD players, but in the very burner that burned it, no dice!

Happens to me all the time...I still have the standard Hitachi superdrive in my dual 2gig G5 (fall 2004 model). It's not consistent, but on occasion I'll burn a batch of discs which play on settop players, in Windows laptops, and on my G4 (which I retrofitted with a Pioneer D-111 drive), but which won't play on the Hitachi. See my posts re: "Why is DVD Player SOOOOO BAD?" for more info about this.
My solution? I'm replacing the Hitachi drive with the new Pioneer dual-layer drive.

  • I don't own an Apple device, but I have purchased an audio album from the iTunes store. How can I play this on my android phone, as I am unable to burn the album to mp3 format? Can I obtain a refund if this is not possible? Thanks

    p.s. I am not knowledgeable of Apple/iTunes etc, I was under the impression that if I purchased an album then I can use my purchase on a non-Apple device

    Micky,
    The iTunes Store sells songs in AAC format.  Most Android phones can play AACs.  Just sync them to your phone per the instructions with the phone.
    If by any chance your phone does require MP3 format, you can use iTunes to convert the files, per this guide: 
    iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
    (This conversion does not require burning.)
    For future reference, note that the iTunes Store is really optimized for people using Apple devices.  You might find it more convenient to buy music in Mp3 format from Amazon Digital Music or Google Play Music.

  • How can I play a dvd on my Mac and display it through Apple TV

    I want to use my DVD drive on my mac to play back movies through my apple tv2. I notice that on my iPad, iPhone, iTunes on my computer all have the AirPlay option to display the video on my TV through Apple TV. I do not want to burn my DVD onto my Mac and play through iTunes becasue its a hassle.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    One thing you can do is to play the DVD in your Mac using DVD Player instead of iTunes, and then, turn on AirPlay Mirroring to stream your computer's display to your Apple TV > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, use a third-party app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com This is the only option, because the Apple TV isn't compatible with discs
    Logical but it won't work - DVD player output will be a grey checkerboard pattern.
    Apple apps prevent Airplay of DVD content at low level presumably for some copy protection reason.
    VLC player is believed to work.

  • How can I go back the same song that was playing when I switched and watched a movie?

    How can I go back to the same song and place in the song that was playing when I started watching a movie?  I have over 6k songs and now my ipod always goes back to #1 even though I may have been listening to # 321.  How do I ever get to listen to all my songs.  Yes I have it on random but if I look at the songs I have played lots of them have played 15-20 times amd many more 6-8 times.  At this point I don't feel I will ever hear the latest songs I added. 
    Any help will be greately appreciated.  Also is it possible to do the same on the new ipod classic 160?

    One area that this appears is on Facebook where it lists the number of Recognized Devices. There are six devices which include iPad and iPhone. These items are grayed and you are unable to change. Also on my iphone it lists the computer name. This name is different from name of my computer. It's what I signed in as when I installed the Mountain Lion upgrade. I know I'm not doing a good job of explaining this. I have searched everywhere on my computer that I can think of and cannot locate where this is used. Any suggestions are appreciated.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display.  There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark.  How can I go back to attached images?

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display.  There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark.  Double clicking on the box will open the image in a separate window.  It's very slow and tedious for multiple images.  How can I go back to attached and displayed  images?  If I click on "Forward", the images appear instantly in the email to be forwarded.

    Scott,
    My problem seemed to fix itself.  Or, by shutting down the computer one night, instead of putting it to sleep, may have reset something.  Since updating to Mavericks, I always (or usually) let the computer sleep overnight or anytime I'm walking away from it.  A few days ago, I was updating notes for my kids about how to find all my stuff and how to turn on my computer, so I wanted to rewrite the start-up procedures for the iMac, just in case they ever need to.  Well, I shut it down one night so the following morning, I could write down each step.  Lo and behold, the images, etc. are all there again!  Solved, but I'm not sure why.

    If you are using the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV (little black box) then it would have no syncing or storage capability.
    iTunes content would be accessed using home sharing.

    Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

  • I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
    If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
    If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

  • Since upgrading to 8.0 I can no longer print from Mapquest Classic. I an from IE. How can I fix that? ALSO I don't like the new layout. How can I go back to my pervious version?

    Since upgrading to 8.0 I can no longer print from Mapquest Classic. It's not a Mapquest problem it's a Firefox problem as I am able to print using IE. I haven't encountered any other sites problems yet but I'm sure it's to come if I don't get this fixed. I need to be able to print. How can I fix this?
    I also do not like the new layout. How can I go back to my previous version?

    What precisely do you mean by deleting the podcast app from both the phone and Mac? I have deleted the podcast app from my phone but on my Mac in iTunes->iPhone->Apps it shows up albeit with a button labelled "Install". I've resynced 3 times and when I try to access my Podcast playlist in the Music app, I still get a message telling me that podcasts have moved to the Podcast app. I'm really sick of some of the changes Apple  has made to their software.
