IDVD says 'supported disk no available,' does not burn too DVD!?

I have an Apple Imac G4 10.4.11, with iDVD 5. I have a 1 hour 20 minute 'AVI file on my computer that I want to burn to a DVD. I clicked 'Open New Project' on iDVD, then clicked 'File' and 'Import Video' and added my 'AVI file. I put in the disk ands started the burn. It took hours and hours then it ended and DVD Player popped up and a message came up on iDVD saying 'Supported Disc Needed,' but it accepted this disc, it is a DVD RW disk. How do I fix this?

Hi
There are several things to this.
A .avi is a container that can carry several different codecs - most often not working with iDVD - but need's to be converted to something iDVD likes as streamingDV, .H264 or AIC (last two I think)
• MPEG Streamclip
• QuickTime with Pro activated
• Flip4Mac - There is a free demo - to test and see if it works - usually does
B. Mac and iDVD are picky regarding DVDs used. Memorex and Cheap brands usually gives problems.
DVD-RW so to a Problem maker
I use only DVD-R from Verbatim.
C. A DVD can be burned into two types. Data-DVD and Video-DVD. To get an Video-DVD one has to wait to insert the DVD until iDVD asks for it (or burn it via Apple Disk Util tool from a DiskImage). If inserted too soon - Mac OS will ask You to Format or Eject it. If formatted You've got a Data-DVD.

Optiarc Drive does not burn DL DVDs

Hi, after looking up the post regards the Optiarc drive which came with MacPro computers I found the post about getting the error #6 here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1294824&tstart=0
I don't have this problem but my drive spits out DL discs when I try and burn on them. I checked Sys Profiler and drive info is:
OPTIARC DVD RW AD-7170A:
Firmware Revision: 1.N8
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 0 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RAM, -RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
I noticed that the cache is 0kb and DL disks aren't listed as supported, nor is an +media. Does anyone know if this is the reason my drive spits out DL discs? If so, does anyone have a fix for this? Do I need to reinstall or update the firmware? I'd rather not mess about with unsupported firmware if possible. Anyway, this seems a bit NQR. Can anyone help?

I have been having problems with my Optiarc drives for the last three months. After getting the error 6 and then having the drives not burn anything to fixing the burn issue and now having the problem you're having.
However, I can burn on TDK DVD+R DL 8x. When I insert Verbatim DVD-R DL 4x they just get spat out. I have two of exactly the same drive on the one Mac and they seem to perform independently.. ie. one may read a disk yet the other one wont.
So, to get a temporary fix for the Error#6 so I could use the drive I had to clear permissions. Here's a step by step of what I did:
1. Go to Users/user/Library/Preferences/ and trash "com.apple.finder.plist"
2. Restart using the install disk. (Can take a while)
3. Choose your language
4. Open "Disk Utility" from the "Utilities" menu
5. Select main drive and "Repair permissions"
6. Quit "Disk Utility"
7. Open "Reset Password" for the "Utilities" menu
8. Select the target hard drive and select the user account
9. Click "Reset Button" under "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs"
10. When button says "Done" in grey, quit and restart.
After doing this I was able to burn. I am about to try the same thing to see if it fixes the disc "spit-out" issue and will post results.

DVD drive does not burn the DVD but prompts the mysterious 0x8002006D error

I read the earlier threads about the mysterious 0x8002006D error.
Then went to look at the console and the DiskRecording log reads:
Finder: Burn sense: 3/73/03 Medium Error, Power calibration area error
Finder: Burn error: 0x8002006D The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
Can anyone tell what this could mean? Is the drive old and tired? I have the latest possible update for this Powerbook G4 1,25 GHz that I can use. What is meant by the latest firmware - where can I check which is the latest firmware for this particular DVD/CD superdrive ...
I am not trying to use the impossible, the G4 only supports DVD-R and with the speed up to 2x, so it is getting difficult to find suitable DVDs for this. The better MacBook is being serviced, as it has a screen problem, only after 1 year of use!
Please, can anyone help me, my works do not make any progres and I am in trouble!
I would be grateful for

Actually, I found out that for this particular PowerBook model there is no further firmware upgrade for the SuperDrive, only for the models starting from 1.5 GHz. Obviously all I can do is downgrade my OS to the version, which I suspect was the one that still supported my SuperDrive to see, whether it is the Drive that has died or whether it is the conflict with the upgrades and the hardware.

Dvd studio pro does not burn readable dvds on other platforms

I have DVDSP 4.1.2 and always used it to create DVD with content.
Now after I upgrade to 10.6.4, I can burn DVDs but they are not readable on other platforms (PC or DVD Players).
Thank you

I have no such issues on my systems, we burn lots of DVDs. Description suggests something wrong with your DVD drive not the software or OS since neither Eric nor I can duplicate your problem.

New MBP Superdrive does not burn DL DVD - I'm taking it to Apple today

My two-week old MBP is wonderful. Except for the inability to burn double layer DVDs. I took the advice of the Apple salespersons and bought DVDs at another store. They said these would work. Out of the first four attempts BURN did make two DVDs of my pictures. Then errored out on the next eight attempts. So I have an appointment at the Apple store later today. I will keep you posted.

I'm at the Apple Store Genius Bar right now. Bottom line seems clear that I purchased a bad batch of Memorex DVDs. Two of mine failed and two of theirs worked. Same brand, etc. Oh well. Guess I'll buy Verbatim next.

HT2499 dvd player - what do i do if i get a msg saying supported disk not available

Trying to play a dvd movie on my MAC. My DiscBurner type is OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. After puuting DVD movie in and click play with the remote it says Supported Disk Not Available. Have MAC OS X 10.6.8

Found my problem. I had VMWare open and running Windows 7. Windows media player was tring to run the DVD and the same time my MAC was so I shut down the Windows & and VMWare and then it released whatever hold it had on it and the came right up on my MAC. Issue resolved.

Why does it say \'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer\'

I have been using an HP Photosmart Plus B210a printer for a year. Recently I have many inconsistent printing problems, it's slow, in a queue, just doesn't move until I reboot - pull out plug, download again etc... anyway now it's defunct I'm steaming - shall I chuck it and buy another if so which - thinking of HP Envy 120??? Anyway when I try to use usb and not eprint a box pops up saying: The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer. So here lies the problem, but I;ve changed cables and still it pops up. What does this mean? My Lion 10.7 mac OX is as new as the printer. Please advise, before I go insane.

Sounds like you are having a configuration issue with the software. Initially, my first response will be to completely remove the software from your computer and reinstall it using the software that HP makes available to download. Here is a link to that download :
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4021935
Have you also considered trying a different method of communication (e.g. wirelessly or using an Ethernet cord)? This might allow me to make better assumptions on where the issue lays if I know the circumstances which lead to it.
Let me know and have a great day!

The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing

Hi everyone,
I deployed 2 hyper v vitual machines a while ago, and i did that because I needed to test my current game Project, which is an
online game. However, i've had some problems with my Windows installation then I had to reset the pc by making it a refresh
install. I still have the hyper v virtual disks, but i cannot attach it to a new hyper-v virtual machine. it pops up this message:
"the storage
where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing". I dont know anything about virtual machines, so I
didnt know I had to make the disk sharable. How can I force to attach the hard disk to a new hyper-v? I dont want to go t
hrough the whole proccess of installing the operating system all over again and updating it....
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Romulo Romero

Hi MrDebugging,
>>
When I Try to add a SCSI Controller, and then I click browse to add a UNC I get this:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks\ClienMachine.vhdx
but I tried placing in different location, and the same problem occurs!
By the way, Im not on a server , I am a domestic user and I am running it on my
Windows 8.1
According to the error message , it seems that it is not a permission issue .
The VM is Gen 1 or Gen2 ?
Generally the error message occurs when you enable "shared vhdx" on standalone/client hyper-v host :
Please try to attach the VHDx file to IDE controller if it is a Gen 1 virtual machine (because only the SCSI controller has the option "virtual hard disk sharing" and Gen 1 VM only can boot from IDE )
All in all , please do not use this feature without CSV or Scale-Out File Server with SMB 3.0 on file-based storage .
If it is not the case , please detail steps what you did .
Best Regards,
Elton Ji

The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual hard disk sharing. (Hyper-v / Windows 10 Enterprise Tech. Preview)

I am attempting to create new virtual machines in Hyper-V on Windows 10 Enterprise Tech. Preview and I am continually getting the error "The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual hard disk sharing.". I am not trying
to setup a shared VM or VHD, just a basic VHD.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

This issue is listed in the release notes and currently there is no fix on our side. Have to wait for the next build.
"Known issues in Build 10049
If you have Virtual Machines hosted on your PC running Windows 10, you will want to move to the Slow ring and wait for the next build as this build breaks the ability to run VMs. "
The statement is miss-quoted. It was about Hyper -V. An update KB3053898
was released to fix that
See the blog
Here :
excerpt........notice the statement has been crossed off in the blog.
UPDATE: You cannot enable Hyper-V on this build. If you have Hyper-V already enabled and you upgrade to this build, Hyper-V will continue to work. <del>If you have Virtual Machines hosted in Hyper-V on your PC running Windows 10, you will want to move

Since you have not provided any actual system info not told us what version of Photoshop, we can't really know what is going on.

HT3275 Time Machine says my external hard drive does not have enough

Time Machine says my external hard drive does not have enough space for the current backup. It needs 34 G out of a 250G hard drive. All that is on the drive is earlier backups. I recently added memory, which may confuse Time Machine into thinking it is a new computer. How can I erase old backups and complete this one?

See #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If that doesn't clear it up, how much data is on your Mac? If TM is only trying to back-up 34 GB, it should be able to delete old backups to do that (assuming you're running Lion).
It sounds like your backups may be corrupted. Try to repair them, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
I recently added memory, which may confuse Time Machine into thinking it is a new computer.
If that's all you did, no.

Just erase the drive per #1 or #2 of Using Disk Utility.

I plug in my printer and I get a message that says, "the disk you inserted is not readable." It didn't do this before but after I installed a segate hardrive software. I have removed the segate hardrive software but the message still appears.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.
