How to use my DVD, vcr

I have an s20 remote it does not have input control buttons. How do I run my dvd player ?

I used to have to use the remote for the TV to control the input source. Now I have the AT&T black S20-S1A remote which has a TV input button at the bottom (right above the logo). You could order one of these if you want to stick with the Uverse remotes.

How to use apple dvd remote player?

how to use apple dvd remote player?

What year iMac do you have?
Are you asking about the separate Apple remote or Apple DVD player or both?
If your iMac is the new slimline models, there is no longer a bulit-in IR receiver input to use the separate Apple remote any longer.
If you want to control your iMac remotely.
If you own an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
Here's an app

How to use the dvd drive...?

Hi Guys,
Just bought my new 15" 2.53 Mhz Duo Core MacBook Pro a month ago but until now I haven't figured out how to use the DVD drive. Well I can't seem to find where it is actually... Does all MacBook Pro has dvd drive? Coz when I check back apple's website and look for the same macbook pro specification like my one, it has a dvd drive included so I thought my macbook has it for sure but can't or don't know how to use it... This is my first time to have an apple that's why...
Hoping for your help..
Thanks,
Danny

Hi there Danny.
I believe you are looking for the location of the DVD drive... right?
If you are looking at your computer while it is open, it should be on the right hand side... "under" the keyboard. There is a slit that allows the DVD to be inserted into the computer. I think if you start to insert a DVD in there (shiney side down) part way, it will suck it into the computer.
(note: I'm not exactly sure, because I use a 7 year old iBook that has a pop-out DVD tray... but I think it will suck it in for you)

[U310] How to use recovery DVDs

In windows 8, it is impossible to create recovery DVDs with Lenovo OneKey Recovery 8.0.
The option has been eliminated. WHY?
Now I ordered the DVDs, but I don't know how to use it !! What I did was:
- Since U310 has not DVD drive, I create ISO file and burn it to USB drive using UltraISO.
- BIOS: RAID, Legacy support, boot USB HDD,
But I still get CD/ROM error while product recovery. Why?
Anyone could help? any other settings needed?
Or the very latest BIOS version of 65CN99WW not support USB HDD image?
thanks in advance for any hints.
Signature on work

thanks Solid Cruver,
the USB was bootable, and according to your post:
‎09-10-2013 05:28 PM
Inside BIOS
    Under Boot Tab
          Change Boot mode to Legacy
           USB Boot should be enabled
    Under Security
          Secure Boot Has to Be disabled
In case the options above are grayed out in your BIOS, Got to Exit Tab and Change OS Optimized Default to Other OS
and check the options again.
Once All are Set Make sure to save all changed by hitting F10 and enter for Yes
    After Hitting enter It will Restart and You have to keep on tapping F12
       this should pull up the Boot Menu letting you select where to boot. You should have now your USB Stick as an Option.
The security boot choice can only be found under UEFI boot. But what I need is Boot mode to Legacy, and boot to Legacy first with USB. i.e. if I choose Legacy boot, the security setting will not appear, so I think it will set back to eanabled to prevent other OS installation?
Do I need to choose AHCI and iRST off? Any other tricky things? any priority of the 3 USB ports?

I do not know how to use i dvd to burn a disk

I would like to make a copy of some of my dvd movies that I have and I do not know where to start. How do I import the movie to the computer and then burn it to a new disk? Thanks for any help I can get. I am new to mac and it has been a rough change for me. I am having trouble with a few of the features on this computer that were sale point when I bought it.

I would like to make a copy of some of my dvd movies
that I have and I do not know where to start.
iDVD is for creating new DVDs with your digital movie clips from something like iMovie.
iDVD ISN'T a disk copying application.
If the DVDs you have are not commercial copy-protected DVDs you can use Apple's Disk Utility to copy them. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724 How to copy previously-burned DVD-R video discs
If the DVDs have your home movies on them, and you want to bring them in to iMovie for editing, you can use something like DVDxDV from http://www.dvdxdv.com/DVDxDV.overview.htm to extract the movies from the DVDs.

How to use recovery dvd on new hard drive, install window 7

hello, i have trouble with my laptop. my hard drive got bad sectors and now i need to replace my hdd to new one. im not sure how to reinstall window 7 on my new hdd.
is it possible to install operating system on new hard drive using recovery disk? and how?

Hi,
Yes, recovery discs will work on a new hard drive, but it's generally best to ensure that the replacement drive is of the same capacity ( slightly larger is Ok ) as the original - recovery discs can have issue when used on a drive that has a smaller capacity than the original.
When you have replaced the HDD, all you need to do is as follows.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.
Insert the 1st Recovery Disc.
Select Boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter. You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
You will be prompted to insert subsequent discs as required.
Regards,
DP-K

How to use illustrator dvd menu template???

If you create a menu using one of illustrator cs3 templates how do I get it into dvd studio pro as a menu??
tx..

I was hoping there would be a more integrated meathod... but then again.. so here's the process..
1) Resize the image in Illustrator.... make sure ALL your layers are visable.(hidden layers will not be selected via a 'select ALL'(huh?) and thus not scaled).. Select All.. Change image size in Illustrator control panel to 1280x720 (for 720p HD.. use your size depending on your format)
2) change the cropping area to 1280x720, you may also want to change the pixel aspect ratio of the cropping area ruler to 1 since it's incorrectly set at 1.333.. HD uses square pixels...
3) Export as photoshop (export layers but disable both editability
boxes... with my final image, leaving this checked resulted in a flattened image with no layers!?!? anyhow) use 72dpi, as this appears to export a file the size of the actual resolution specified..
4) open in photoshop and crop the image (set canvas size) to the propper size. for whatever reason I could not get illustrator to output a 1280x720 image.. it was 1281x721.. If I reduced the crop area to 1279x719 then I got a 1279x719 image..
5) import into Dvd Studio.. Then create a layered menu.. set it as the background, and then setup your button using the layers for highlight etc...

How to Use G580 DVD Writer

Hi - please can someone tell me how to burn a video to DVD, using the G580 notebook DVD writer? Also where can I find a user manual? The user guide that comes with it is useless! There's absolutely nothing on the DVD writer in it.
thanks - Val

Hi valarcher,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform you that the User Guide will have the information of the Hardware components and its use and not the complete Operating System features and uses, below is the link to burn the CD/DVD in the computer using Windows Explorer.

How To Use PowerMac (DVD) to Load OS Tiger 10.4 to I-Book (CD) ?

Bought retail "family pack" version of Tiger 10.4 last August, but forgot my wife's I-Book is CD only. Waited too long to get exchange CD disks from Apple, confirmed last week they're no longer available thru Apple.
Apple Support advised I could use my PowerMac G4 to upgrade the I-Book, but would not provide specifics since the 90 day period of support on my OS Tiger purchase had already lapsed. If I bought another copy of Tiger they'd be able to walk me through the procedure, but that doesn't seem reasonable to me. They also mentioned purchasing an external DVD and specified a particular Lacie model for $189- but that's more expensive another softeware purchase, and reviews for the exteral DVD were very mixed.
Lastly, they suggested this discussion forum. I searched and found similar inquiries, but they all seem to have too many other variables for me to risk attempting a self repair. Sorry if this terribly redundant for listening experts out there, but would greatly appreciate any help.
My G4 is an older (2000) 400 MHz version with DVD, running OS 10.4.9, my wife's newer (2002) I-Book G3 600 MHz with CD -ROM drive is runing 10.3.9.
I'm competent with simple software upgrades , but a complete novice with networking or linking and subordinating one machine to another. Hope that doesn't dissuade any otherwise willing souls out there.
"Scrappy"

I can't agree that reports of problems means it is iffy -- as long as one takes into account the stipulations I mentioned about the installer disk supporting the target PPC Mac model.
The installation will install the complete set of drivers & other OS components the disk contains, regardless of the model the installation is running under. Only when the targeted Mac boots does the OS check the hardware & load the drivers that support it. Obviously, if the installer disk doesn't have some component the target Mac requires, it won't be there & the process will fail, but AFAIK this only can occur if the targeted Mac was released after the version of the installer disk & the Mac had some new bit of hardware.
What can be slightly problematic is the installer will create various preference files with default values based on the model it is running under rather than the target one. This is generally no more than a minor annoyance with an easy workaround. I don't know of anything like this that would prevent the target Mac from booting -- even if something did, resetting PRAM and/or NVRAM should allow the Mac to boot up in a functional enough state that the offending preference file can be discarded.
I should add that I have actually used this method to install the OS on a G3 iMac that lacked a DVD drive & on a G4 PB with a dead optical drive, using my G5 iMac as the source. The owners encountered no problems at all (& were happy to avoid the downside of having to exchange their DVD for the CD set). The only real downside for them is not having a bootable installer disk to run Disk Utility, Terminal, etc. for repairs. I am helping them deal with that in other ways ... mostly by promising to let them use one of my FireWire drives as a boot source when needed. It has a generic install of 10.4.9 on it & interestingly enough boots all the PPC's I have tried it with without any problems.

How to use a DVD with IDE3 slots on K8T Neo

How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

How do I watch DVDs when using my macbook as a remote drive for my new iMac?

My new iMac does not have a DVD drive ( something which I just assumed it would have!). I have connected it to my old macbook using CD/DVD sharing, however, although it recognises the DVD in the Macbook, it makes the DVD player crash and iTunes won't import it - how do I play DVDs this way?

Oh right!, I was told that it didn't matter that I didn'y have the drive as I could use my macbook - is this information wrong?... (I was told this by someone at Apple and so just thought I was being thick)

How to convert a DVD disc for use in Final Cut Express 3.5

I have a DVD disc of a conference which I would like to edit in FCE 3.5.
I would like to be able to import it into my FCE project, ad use it without having to the render it in FCE.
Is it possible to rip or import the disc (with Handbrake?) and then export the resulting file so it can be used in FCE. I am especially keen that when the file is imported, it doesn't have to then be rendered. I have had a number of problems with QuickTime files being imported to FCE where they then need to be rendered in the timeline before I can use them.
If anyone can suggest the following I would be very appreciative:
1/ how to import the DVD disc- Handbrake?- what settings are best to use? MPEG4, H.264...
2/ once imported to my Mac Pro, how do I convert it for easy use in FCE.
Just to show you that I did try this before posting to this forum, I tried the following:
1/ imported as a h.264 file with Handbrake (2hr video created a 2GB file)
2/ opened this file in an app called "MPEG Streamclip" and exported the file as a QuickTime file, and set as "Apple DV".
3/ BUT... the resulting file reached 17GB and then when imported to FCE, it couldn't be played in the timeline until I rendered it first- I didn't start this as it would have taken hours and hours!!
Any help or tips would be great
Thanks,
Simon

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
VisualHub (23.32$)
Drop2DV (free)
Cinematize >60$
Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

DVD'S I create do not play on every VCR? How do I reset the VCR's?

I'm making DVD's from video tapes with a Roxio attatchment I bought.. The DVD's will go into my Imovie and then I put them on IDVD to burn them to DVD_R's They play on my computer and my VCR that I have downstairs in my basement but they won't play on my VCR in my living room? Is there a way to format them and finalize them? I thought DVD_R didn't need finalizing?

Hi
You can try
• High quality brand of DVD - I use Verbatim DVD-R
• SET down burn speed to x4 = less burn errors = Plays on more Players
• Use a DVD cleaning disk - now and then in burner and player
Yours Bengt W
