How come my MacBook ejects international DVD's?

I recently brought some DVD's from Indonesia and I have tried playing them on my MacBook, but my MacBook takes the DVD in for about 3 seconds then spits it out without anything appearing on the screen.
I must also add that these DVD's are most likely illegal.
What is the problem?
And is there anything I can do to fix it?

It seems to suggest that the DVDs themselves are poorly made. Even legally made DVDs sometimes have this problem, though in my opinion not as often.
So I doubt if the MacBook can actually detect the legal status of your DVD, more likely just poor quality and will not work with it.
To be sure, rent a good commercially made DVD and see if it works in your MacBook. If it works, ask for a refund for your Indonesian DVDs. Probably not going to happen but...
Also, I don't know if the DVDs you purchased elsewhere are region coded, but if they are and have a different region code that where you live, you may run into problems changing the region code too many times. See this Apple article for an explanation.
Best of luck.

    Your Solid State Drive and having enough space inside your Macbook Air & Pro
    Solid State Drive usage premise, or the “more space / upgrade SSD” question
    There have been questions posed and positions taken by many people who are trying to use their Macbook Air or Pro’s solid state drive (SSD) as a mass media storage device, for either pictures, videos, massive music collections or all three combined; but this should not be the working premise of a ‘limited’ SSD and its use.
    In which, it’s the case of those users with either 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB of internal SSD space, that have or are running “out of space”, that questions are raised. The immediate premise of some users can sometimes be “(how to / if) upgrading my SSD” when in fact in nearly all instances another approach is the logical and sensible one that needs to be looked into and exercised.
    Any Macbook containing a SSD should be idealized as a ‘working platform’ notebook containing all your applications, documents, and weekly or bi-weekly necessary files. All collections of media files such as pictures, music, and videos, unless directly needed should be kept off the notebook and on an external hard drive or likewise. While the ‘working platform’ premise is also the case with larger internal conventional hard drives of 1TB+, its implementation isn't as critical except in terms of data protection.
    Realistically, you should at most coordinate roughly 20 to 25% of your total SSD space to all audio-video personal use media (picture / music / video collections), leaving the remaining amount on an external HD.
    Nobody should consider any notebook a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device; and in the case of a SSD, this is more important for purposes of having sufficient working space on the SSD and reducing SSD ‘bloat’ in which cases someone is wrongly attempting to use the SSD space as a large media storage nexus.
    The rare exception to the collective usage and premise of SSD use in which a much larger SSD is truly needed are for those in video and photography professions that require both the extremely fast speeds of the SSD and the onboard storage for large and or many video and photography files. However this also falls under the premise of a ‘working platform’ for such peoples rather than the intent of many who are using the SSD as passive and static data storage for media files very infrequently needed or accessed.
    All on-notebook data collections should be logically approached as to necessity, and evaluated as to whether it is active or passive data that likely doesn’t need to be on the notebook, allocations of space-percentages to as-needed work and use, apportioning space for your entertainment media, and questioning whether it should it be on the notebook for more than short-term consumption.
    Considerations should be made in the mind of any user in differentiating the necessary system data (System hub) comprising the Mac OSX, applications, necessary documents that both must and should be on your internal SSD, and that of the users personal data (Data hub) comprising created files, pictures, music, videos, PDF files, data created or being created and otherwise, that likely unless being used soon or often should be parked on an external hard drive for consumption, or temporarily loading onto the internal SSD.
    You both can and should purchase whichever SSD size you need or see fit, but even in the case of the largest of SSD, unless use-considerations are made, and SSD spaces are allocated as should be the case indicated above, one can easily and immediately run into this quandary of “needing more internal SSD space”, in which instance a different approach in usage must then be implemented.
    However it is almost always the case, that such large media files are wanted to be stored internally rather than actually needed, in which case the external HD is both prudent as well as necessary. Additionally costs per MB are infinitely less on an external HD than an internal SSD in any consideration of data expansion needs.
    A Professional Example
    In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. 
    You should also never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your Macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’. This is especially what your external HD is for.
    Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their notebooks internal SSD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
    Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your Macbook has a SSD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your notebook to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
    Slim USB3 1TB external hard drive
    External Hard Drives
    External hard drives are both extremely cheap and regardless of the size of your internal SSD (or even internal hard drive if the case), you need an external hard drive with your SSD equipped Macbook for several reasons:
    1. Data backup and protection.
    2. Redundancy for important data.
    3. Necessitated ideal space for large media files for collections of pictures, videos, and music etc.
    While ever changing in price, typical portable 2.5” external hard drives in USB3 run roughly $65 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB small portable USB3 hard drives. Such drives range in thickness between 5mm and 15mm, with recent improvements in storage of 500GB drives in 5mm profiles.
    There is almost no premise in which a small 12mm thick 1 Terabyte USB hard drive cannot be taken along with any Macbook as an external large storage extension inside any Macbook carry case or pouch. Typically such external HD profiles are not much bigger than a deck of cards.
    External hard drives are a foregone necessity for purchase with any Macbook for at the very least Time Machine backups, data redundancies, and ideally for large media storage.

    does your wi-fi router filter access by MAC address? If it does, then have you added your MacBook Pro’s MAC address to your router’s whitelist of acceptable MAC addresses?

  • Minor gripe about MacBook Eject CD/DVD button

    I've been too positive about my overall MacBook experiences so far, so thought I'd post a minor gripe
    Does everyone else's Eject CD/DVD key cause the CD/DVD drive to audibly try to access the drive, even if there is no CD/DVD in the drive?
    The only reason I ask is that on my Mac Mini, pressing the Eject CD/DVD puts the Eject Icon on the screen, but doesn't actually make the CD/DVD drive audibly try to access it.
    (Parallels also tries to access the drive as well on every startup, quite annoying )

    You'll always see the eject icon on the desktop when you press the eject key. The weird thing is the drive actually trying to eject when there is no disc in the drive. None of my other slot drive Apples have done this.

    The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
    Throttling
    When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or low voltage readings from the battery of a MacBook, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to:
    ☞ a buildup of dust on the logic board
    ☞ high ambient temperature
    ☞ a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
    ☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
    Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
    If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That behavior may be normal for some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
    Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
    Installed software
    User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
    Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
    Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
    External display
    Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display.

  • How can I force eject a dvd from the MBA superdrive?

    Had to cancel a dvd burn midstream and shut down. Now the superdrive won't mount on the desktop, nor will the eject button make it spit out the disc.
    Any ideas? I love the fact that this thing is so minimal it doesn't have a pinhole where you can manually eject the disc. Very cool.

    There is one possibility. Holding down the trackpad button while starting up is supposed to force eject all removable media. You can try this. Some also have had success by holding the C key down.

  • How can I determine what internal DVD drives are compatible w/ my G5?

    I'd like to put a new DVD drive in my G5. It's one of the original 1.8 dual machines, with some extra RAM. I'm having trouble with the drive these days, and I'd like to figure out what drives are compatible. Thoughts?

    I cannot speak for all drives but today I installed a Pioneer 710 ( same drive as 111 ) in place of the original Pioneer 106.
    I have only tested it with Toast to burn a DVD-R and playing a CD and all is well.

  • How come free space on internal disk is decreasing when I am exporting videos to imovie library on external disk

    Hi,
    I am moving all the videos I have in my iphoto library on my computer to the imovie library (version 9.0.9 ) I have on an external disk to free some space on the internal disk.
    Afterwards, I am deleting them from the iphoto library BUT I noticed that the free space on the  internal disk  does not increase. Movies are decreasing but the space is going to back ups. I am doing this process as I want to have more space on the internal disk. Do I do something wrong or is this the normal process ?
    Also, I have Imovie (new version - which I am not using, at least not for the moment) and the old version (created when I updated) on my internal disk and a copy I made befor the update on an external disk.
    Is it safe to delete the old version on the internal disk ?
    Thanks for helping me out !

    Hi,
    On my mac I have  iphoto and two versions of imovie -  application that was created last october (2.9 gb -- so far I did not use this app)  and 9.0.9 imovie  folder (1,197,747,040 bytes - 1.22 GB on disk) .
    On the external disk, I made a copy of 9.0.9 version  some while ago (to be eaxct, before the new version was installed last october).
    This what I do:
    - import the video into imovie on my internet disk via "file, import, photos, iphoto library and select..."
    - then I delete the videos from the iphoto event, emtpy trash in iphoto and empty trash on my dock
    I photo version I am using is 9.5.
    What do you mean with your third question ?
    I back up on a 2nd external disk (used only for back up)  with time machine.
    When I check the space available (on this mac, more info, storage...) I noticed  backups take up 7,6 GB. Before I started the above mentioned process of importing videos in imovie on the external disk  the backups showed 0. What did I do wrong ?
    Thanks for helping me out.

  • New MacBooks come with Internal DVD?

    Do the new MacBook pros come with an internal DVD/CD drive?

    Yep.  The external super drive is an "option" when you build your own MB Pro.  Same with the iMacs, Mac Mini and new Mac Pro.  Good bye internal super drive. 
    As for saving projects, I guess you save them to your hard drive or an external hard drive.  These machines have thunderbolt and usb3 so external storage is very fast for read/write.  If you have an apple TV, you can upload your movie through iTunes or simply watch from your shared computer's harddrive.  I imagine there are other ways. 

  • Macbook pro does not see internal DVD/CD drive

    Our macbook pro 4,1 running OSX 10.8.5 (12F45) no longer seems to recognize the internal DVD/CD drive.
    Both the ATA and Disc Burning listings for the MBP say there are no devices of that type listed.
    This started when my wife attempted to play an audio CD-R which I had burned on my macpro 1,1 running Snow Leopard and using Itunes 11.4.  The icon for the CD did not show up and the disk didn't play.  It also would not eject.  (She had just successfully played another audio CD-R which I had burned on my macpro).  After some research, we found that the 'stuck CD' is a common problem and the solution that worked for us was cold starting with the trackpad button depressed while shaking the **** out of the computer (and giving it a few 'love taps') .... several tries without the physical encouragement failed before adding shaking ... then it ejected the CD.
    So .... we were able to remove the offending CD, but when I tried one that had worked before, a commercially produced CD, it got stuck too and required the same draconian procedure to get it to eject.
    I re-cold started the MBP with an empty optical drive and then brought up the Hardware Overview.  It said there was no ATA device and no Disc Burning device.  The device itself must be getting power, because when the CD was stuck, you could hear it trying to do something  when you hit the eject key, and when we finally discovered how to force ejection, the mechanical sound associated with disc ejection could be heard.
    I seriously doubt that the optical drive has just stopped working.  Instinct tells me that the attempt to read an audio CD that was somehow incompatible caused the opsys to be configured in a way that makes it unable to communicate with the optical drive directly.  Any suggestions on how to investigate this, possibly from the Terminal, would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Joe - but I have discovered how to free the stuck CD from the drive.
    The problem now is that OSX 10.8.5 does not recognize the presence of the optical drive at all.  It does not show up in Disk Utility's list of drives/volumes and does not show up in the ATA or Disc Burning categories in the system profiler.  For example, I can insert the system disc, which the drive accepts, but the install/utilitiy app does not fire up .... not initially, nor after I cold start while holding 'C'.  The system doesn't see it.
    Applecare was willing to try to assist me for free, but the agent, after helping me run the Disc Utility from the cold start Recovery System, claimed it was a faulty optical drive.  Though this is quite possible, I'm still skeptical and have a local mac guru coming to look at it (for a fee) on Monday, 2/9/15.
    In some of my research regarding the stuck CD, there was mention that a CD programmed on a different drive (in a different mac) initiated the sticky CD problem, and implied that something about the CD corrupted something in the guts of the guts of the OS.  But if true, Disk Utility, which likely communicates to the optical drive thru the OS,  may not be able to see the drive.   It'd be nice if there was some diagnostic software that runs on an intel mac that completely runs independently of the OS but with full privileges to directly query the hardware I/O channel(s) that directly talk to the optical drive.  If you know of such an animal, that would be helpful and might save me from buying a new optical drive when it's really a system corruption problem.

    I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
    Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
