HT1583 What blank DVD disks are compatible with burning a film from Idvd on an applemac?

I have just finalized a project in imovie and this message came up on the screen - "Your project exceeds the maximum duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the project info window".
I have changed the encoder setting from best fit to Professional but I am having burning the film to a dvd. The computer tells me to load a dvd or my driver is busy - which it isn't it only has a blank dvd disk in it. So I was wondering whether my DVD disks are compatible with the applemac computer!
HELP!

Hi
So I was wondering whether my DVD disks are compatible with the applemac computer!
And if You tell - what brand and type You are trying to use - I will be so much easier !
But most often the problem is
• Do NOT - insert the DVD disk before iDVD specifically as You to do this. As Desktop will catch it and try to format it as a Data-DVD - Not what You want (a Video-DVD) as Data-DVD can not be played on standard DVD-players.
To get it even better I do
• Use Verbatim - Never Memorex or NoName etc cheap brands (as they don't work OK for Me)
• DVD-R - as they play on even older DVD-players
• Burn Speed - set down to x2 or x4 MAX ! - Best IS NOT BEST at all here !

Hello,
I have a big problem when I burn the media (cd or dvd) on my laptop toshiba satellite A300.

thanks for yours responses.
in fact i use only DVD+R (tdk, philips and sony).
I had problems with tdk and mainly with phillips.
All my media (cd/dvd) were in the trash :-( it's not normal
I am going to try clean the lens with alcool and buy verbatim.
with the media CD-R sony no media work :-( it's crazy.
It's strange because the burning goes well (successfull) and when i put the cd on my cd player it doesn't work (run for a moment and print "no disk").

What blank dvd disks to use with macbook

Hi,
I feel really daft asking this but I cannot find an answer to my question: to burn a dvd from my macbook, do I need to use dvd-r or dvd+r discs? I bought a pack of the dvd+r and do not want to try them until I know for sure.
Thanks in advance.

Both will work if you have a superdrive

What DVD drives are compatible with Equium A60 PSA67E?

my question; what dvd drives are compatible for an equium a60 (psa67e-001001en)?
background; i did a very silly thing! whilst i was in japan and about 18 months after purchasing my a60 in the uk, the dvd drive packed up. i replaced it with a teac dvd drive and it worked like a dream! i threw the old drive away (i think it was a matsu****a, but can't remember the exact model). anyway, i came home and had a bit of spare time on my hands so i decided to tweak my machine and corrupted the windows xp registry.
Now the windows xp runs in a loop, i can't get access to it and i need to wipe the hard drive and start again basically. i put the recovery disk in, but the computer doesn't read from it and frustratingly finds its way to the loopy windows. i have determined that it is not recognising the teac drive that i used to replace the old one. i think if i put an original type back in, the firmware may recognise the drive and i'll be back in business.... or so i hope!
of course, any other advice would be gratefully received too! thanks.
work around??? ps... a work around i thought up... copy the contents of the recovery disk on to a hard drive (using my old computer) then swap the current hdd in my a60 with it... theory; when the computer finds the contents during booting, it will install xp on another part of that hard drive and i'll have a working machine again. could something like that work???????? any thoughts????

thanks again friend!
as it turns out, that pioneer drive rung bells.
though my TEAC (DV-w28e) replacement looks identical to my previous drive and has worked ok with windows, at "the bios level" it is not being recognised... is that something you would have expected???? i must admit, with windows, the TEAC outperformed the original drive and was surprised it wasn't reading my recovery disk after my self infliction! i also tried using a usb hdd loaded up with the recovery disk and that didn't work.
but you answered my question so thanks a million for that.

I got the hard drive upgrade kit and now have the old drive in the On-The-Go-Pro external enclosure and the new drive in the Macbook Pro. I booted from the old drive and now I'm ready to restore to the new drive using Disk Utility but I'm not sure exactly what to select as the Source and Destination.
Three disks are listed in the left frame. The new Samsung disk, the old drive in the OTGPro external enclosure with a volume called "Macintosh HD" and something called "disk 2" with a volume of Mac OS X Base System under it.
I think I should select "Macintosh HD" as the source and the Samsung Drive as the destination. But I'm not certain.
What's the correct source and destination?

What Blu-Ray Burners are compatible with Mac?

Any suggestions on what type of external blu-ray players are compatible with the iMacs?

Same Samsung SH-B123L Blu-Ray player has worked for me in Windows 7, Lion, and Mountain Lion. So, if you had this connected and dual-booted using Boot Camp, it would be a one device solution. Use MacGo Blu-Ray software. The player is a powered USB connection. OS X DVD player also thinks it is an internal Apple device and just works without a whimper. Fast device. 16x DVD burn. 48x read. Take it out of the box and plug it in. The operating system just recognizes it.
If you point the MacGo Blu-ray software at movies stored in your local network, it will play them too.

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.

What cheap hosting sites are compatible with Mac?

Hi, I am trying to set up a website for the first time, and have no idea what hosting sites are reliable or compatible with Mac's could anyone give me any ideas? I am looking at the moment at justhost.com fatcow and hostclear. I have looked at reviews for reliability, but it mentions nothing about compatibility. Thanks

iWeb hasn't received a major update since January 2009. As you're "trying to set up a website for the first time", consider alternatives to iWeb that are regularly updated with new features.
"...unless Apple substantially updates iWeb (not holding my breath), it really is time to move on. There are many compelling, equally user-friendly, alternatives that are far more flexible than iWeb. (...) Apple is doing us all a favor pushing us to providers that specialize in web creation and hosting. There are cheaper, better, and faster options." (Source)
One alternative (of many) is the free, web-based Weebly. Unlike iWeb, you'll be able to update your site from any Mac or PC and hosting is free and easy — simply hit the Publish button.
"Dear Apple, Thank you for dragging your feet in total indifference and neglect of countless iWeb users. (...) Now I have found Weebly (www.weebly.com), and I'm kicking myself for not knowing about it before." (Source)

What external tape drives are compatible with sunblade 100s?

hi,
please, can anybody tell me:
1. where i can find out whether or not a particular tape drive is compatible with my sunblade 100 workstation running solaris 9?
2. do external tape drives usually connect to the workstation's serial port?
3. what kind of specs/features should i be looking out for?
thanks in advance for your replies.

I would imagine you could use any tape drive with your sun blade... most are connected by either scsi or fiber channel... there could be some that are network controlled... not aware of any that are controlled by serial port...
GOOGLE is a wonderful thing... try it, you will like it...
compatibility is more concerned with which OS and program you want to use with the tape drive...
specs depend on what you are backing up... a single user would most likely only need a single drive... if you were a multi-national corp, then maybe you might contact Sun Sales...
maybe you should to some research yourself...

Where can I find what versions of software are compatible with Yosemite? ie. Logic Express, Microsoft Office, iTunes etc

Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a new iMac, however I am concerned some current software will not be compatible with it and I'll lose files etc. For example all my music files for Logic Express 8.
I am currently running:
Mac OS X version 10.6.8,
iTunes 11.4,
iPhoto 7.1.5,
Logic Express 8.0.2,
Microsoft Word/Excel etc. is 12.3.6.
These are the most used applications so I want to limit any losses from these if I were to get a new iMac.
Any support with this, and on how to transfer files to a new iMac would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

What other models screens are compatible with Macbook A1211?

I need to replace the screen on my A1211 Macbook Pro. I'd like to know if any other models are compatible - the A1150 seems to be the same, but with matt finish (which I would prefer anyway) - is this right? any help much appreciated

Early and Late 2006 MacBooks Pro are very similar, so the display of the Early 2006 MacBook Pro might work. However, you should install the display designed for your MacBook model to prevent issues after installing the display

What blank DVD-R will work with a macbook pro and Matshita UJ-857E

Hi in my macbook pro is the factory fitted Matshita UJ-857E superdrive, when I insert a blank DVD-R it spits it out, blank CD's work ok.
I have Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
I have tried three different types of brands including maxell, verbatim and cheap woolworths brand.
I bought an external USB DVD burner and this recognises any DVD-R I throw at it, so I think it can either be a faulty drive or it's a bit fussy about the brand of DVD's it can recognise.
Please can you post the blank DVD's that work on your macbook pro superdrive

Thanks for pointing that out, re posted here

What lightscribe CD/DVD drives are compatible with Satellite P300

Very fast.
What optical lightscribe drives i can mount in my Toshiba Satellite P300.
At now i have pioneer dvr-kd08 but i wont lightscribe.

This is not that easy to say as compatibility depends on the slave/master settings and therefore you would need to ask an ASP.
Maybe check some lightscribe ODDs and ask the guys from ASP.
But honestly, would you really want to waste your money on this feature? I know, those discs look pretty nice when used ligthscribe on it, but is it worth it?
I have one in my other notebook but I have only used it once.
And you will need special blank CDs/DVDs with this surface to use lightscribe feature.
