I can't burn DVD's on DVD Studio Pro since I install Snow Leopard

Well, my computer was working great, I had tiger installed and I decided to update to snow leopard and "big mistake" since then I haven't been able to burn DVD's from DVD Studio Pro, at the time to start writing the information to burn it, it shows a message saying " the recording device reported the error #6. Unknown device error. I connected and external dvd burner and when is time to burn it says "The recording device reported the illegal request. Unknown device.
I can easily burn DVD's from iDVD what makes me believe the problem is not with the burner. I went to Melrose Mac and they told me there is a conflict between FCS and Snow Leopard, they suggested to install Leopard instead, he mention many people has complain about the same issue Can that be possible? I got something thinking my computer was going to work better and I screwed it up!

Did you also upgrade DVD Studio Pro?

  • Is DVD Studio Pro 4 compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

    Is DVD Studio Pro 4 compatible with Snow Leopard? Project burns fine, simulates fine, works on my two macs (mac pro & macbook pro networked) but when I put the dvd in to a dvd played hooked to a tv it doesn't recoginize it and says "this disc connot be played"!

    It's your set top DVD player that won't play the disk...  That or it's the type of disk that you're using.
    Make sure it's a DVD-R.  That's a MINUS. 
    They pretty much work in all set top DVD players. 
    The reason your computers play the dvd's is simply because your computer knows what to do with all types of media.  Something else to consider could be the optical read capability on your computer is better than that of your DVD player.  Perhaps the DVD is a poor quality disk.  You computer can read it because it has a higher quality optical pickup unit.
    First things first, take your DVD to a place that sells DVD players and try it in a new player.  That'll tell you whether or not the disk actually works.

  • Ever since I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8), masking in QuickTime 7Pro has stopped working.  Has anybody experienced this?  Is there a work around?  Can I use FCP to add masks to video?

    Ever since I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) a month ago, the masking function in QuickTime 7Pro (v. 7.6.6) stopped working.  Masks disappeared in old videos where I had previously and successfully added a mask, and I could not longer use QT 7Pro to add a mask to a new video.  When I installed Snow Leopard I also installed QT X, but I found QT 7Pro in the Utilities folder, so it is still there but the masking function is definately not working.
    Has anybody else experienced this?
    Is there a remedy so I can recover my older masked videos, and make new masked videos?
    Can I make masked videos in Final Cut Pro?
    Thanks!

  • Can't print to pdf since I installed Snow Leopard.

    I make newspaper ads all the time in Illustrator CS4 on a Mac.
    I always print them to pdf files. Never had any trouble doing this.
    However, since I installed Snow Leopard I can not print to pdfs.
    I go through the usual motions and then... just nothing happens.
    Are there known issues with AI CS4 and Snow Leopard?

    I was having the same problem. Basically, you now have to "save as" then "to PDF" to get the same results. Although this new method give you more choices in terms of output, i.e. saving layers, image resolution, it has also produced larger PDF files. I will then have to open the document in Acrobat and "reduce file size". I do wish they would bring back the print to PDF option. Go to the link below to read more. If you figure out how to produce the same results and get the small files sizes back please share.

    When you installed Snow Leopard, Tiger was replaced, leaving your programs and files intact.
    What is causing your freezing problem is unknown, you can take Kappy's advice and remove everything, but you lose your files and free iLife programs that came with Tiger/new machine.
    The 10.6.3 disk you "upgraded" with has the full 10.6.3 on it, but no free iLife suit, so a erase and install will remove what you already have installed.
    You can try to locate your problem without the erase and install method by running through this list of fixes.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    But before you do anything, backup your personal data off the machine to a extenal drive and disconnect.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Because if you have to follow Kappy's advice and wipe and install 10.6 fresh, it will cure your problem in nearly 99% of cases, but you have to rebuild everything. All programs and files.
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    If this is all too much for you, then STOP and call a local PC/Mac service or competant friend to assist you.
    Yuo might need to install more RAM into the machine to make 10.6 run better as well.

  • DVD Studio Pro 4 - Compatibility with Snow Leopard

    Since installing Snow Leopard I have been unable to start DVD Studio Pro (4.0.3) - it shuts down immediately. I've tried getting the latest update for both Snow Leopard and DVD Studio Pro but that hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

    If it worked and is Non-UB eventually issues could crop up, more so as more into the newer versions of the OS come out I would guess. But if you were running the version of DVD SP on your laptop with Snow Leopard and then after the software updates it stopped running, then in all likelihood it sounds like that one of the updates may have broke DVD SP in SL. Which updates did you install and can you roll back the system prior to the new software updates?
    Deleting preferences could be something to also try.
    User-> Prefs -> com.apple.dvdstudiopro.plist
    You can also try to create another user account to see if that helps.

  • How can i  partition my hard drive with lion on it and install snow leopard from time machine

    How do I partition my hard drive which has lion on it and reinstall os6 from my time machine?

    You going to need a second harddrive. It is riskie to resize your haddrive with live data on it. You need a backup of the data.   That said, you might as well copy your data to the second harddrive.  Repartition.  Then copy the data back.  I bought a 128gig flash drive from walmart for $32.
    There were repartition commands introduced in 10.4.6 to repartition the harddrive.
    For what it is worth, you can non-destructively partition a harddrive from single user mode in 10.4.6 or greater. Of course, you should have a backup of the harddrive.

  • MBP: DVD reader (or workaround) to install Snow Leopard?

    Hello. I have a MacBook Pro and I am looking for a way to upgrade to Snow Leopard. A little background...I'm having an issue with not being able to restart my computer without the concern that it won't turn back on. If I'm lucky the computer will turn on immediately, other times it may turn on after being completely shut off for 30 minutes. Then there are times when it may take a few days or weeks to turn on after multiple attempts. My warranty has expired and after speaking to an associate at Best Buy they suggested I install Snow Leopard to resolve the issue. So of course, I purchased Snow Leopard because I need the OS for other programs as well. When I tried to install it I realized that my disc drive is for CDs and not DVDs. I have googled an external DVD reader for Macs but the results are showing for DVD burners. Is there a way to install Snow Leopard externally or a way around this? Please help! Thank you.

    Also DVD burners that are built-in to the Mac also have built-in DVD reading capability. Very few external DVD burners don't have DVD boot capability. A few are very old, and need a firmware update, or to have their lense cleaned before they can boot a DVD disc. 'C' key booting is not always successful regardless of the health of the drive, and you may need to do Option key booting with the startup manager:

  • Mac intel pro won't recognize snow leopard installation dvd

    i have a dual-core intel xeon with 6 GB memory. the dvd player reads all cds and dvds except when i insert the cd to install snow leopard, it ejects the disk. this is the second disk as i exchanged for a new one at apple store (where it was recognized on the computer there) any ideas, i really want to get going on CS5. helllllp (presently running version 10.4.11

    Most likely it's a hardware problem: meaning the media drive ("dvd player" is the name of the movie playing software in Applications) is either dirty or defective. A reasonable first step would be to blow canned air through the drive. If that doesn't solve the problem, then try a recommended-by-Apple media drive cleaning kit. Also test the 10.6 installer disc on another media drive to see if "any" media drives can detect it.
    Report back on results, please.

  • How can I burn a CD or DVD for regular data files?

    How can I burn a CD or DVD for regular data files using anything other than itunes?

    If you need simple burning, do as Robert said. However, if you need more advanced options, take a look at Roxio Toast 10 Titanium. There is also a Pro HD version if you need more video burning options.

  • Can't burn Verbatim Archival grade DVDs

    Hi there! I own a Powermac G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz with Tiger updated and a Pioneer dvd recorder Mod. DVR-110D Firmware ver. 1.37. I can't burn Verbatim Archival grade DVD-R because I always get the following error code: 0x8002006E. It happens with Finder burn and Toast 8 too! Is a solution there to fix this problem? Thanks for your help
    Greetings Fabry
    Powermac G5 2Ghz Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Hi Fabrizio!
    I am particularly interested in your problem because I was about to buy some of those very disks!
    In fact, I started this thread some time ago:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4140243&#4140243
    I have been googling the error code, and from a variety of Mac related forums it appears that, as Templeton suggests, it is an incompatibility between the burner and the media.
    Some have had the problem with Matshita, some with Pioneer superdrives. Some have had success with exchanging one superdrive for another, some with using different media.
    What is strange is that Verbatim DVD-R of the 'regular' kind are the preferred brand here. I have read that F Shippey, who I hope will chip in here if he sees this thread, has tried the Verbatim Archival grade DVDs.
    We need a bigger user sample!
    Have you tried burning them at only 2x or 4x in Toast?
    Do you have any problems burning 'normal' Verbatim DVDs?

  • Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

    Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users? 

    You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
    If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.
