Iomega Super DVD and B&W G3

It is possible to install an external Iomega Super DVD (USB 2) into a B&W G3 instead original internal CD reader?
OS is 10.2.8
Thanx for any answer

If you would like to remove the DVD drive from the Iomega USB enclosure and install it in your B&W G3's optical drive bay, yes - it can be done. In recent years, Iomega has installed standard 5.25" ATAPI burners (CD-R/RW or DVD±RW) in their external cases, often using "Lite-On" brand drives. You may or may not be able to boot the G3 from the optical drive, but Lite-On drives have better Apple-compatibility than some other third-party brands. That Iomega enclosure has no visible means of fasteners/screws that attach the top cover to the base. Instead, you must insert a small tool into (2) locations on both sides where the upper and lower pieces meet, to depress the internal latches and separate them. The drive should already be factory-set to Master, which is exactly how it should be configured for your B&W. Unless you already have the Iomega Super DVD drive, it would be less expensive to just buy/install a 5.25" internal DVD±RW drive - like this Pioneer burner.

I have a new MacBook Air with a USB super drive. I put in the DVD and I get nothing. No icon on the desk top and DVD player is no help. How do I play a DVD or eject the one in now?

There's a defect. The computer is in warranty so take it in for repair.

Go into your system preferences and click the startup disk icon then select your Mac HD.

Super Drive and DVD Regions

Hi,
I know that most DVD players lock out after a certain number of region changes but if I buy two super drives can I use one for my international DVDs and one for my American DVDs or is the region lock part of the hardware of my macbook air?
Thanks.

That should work.
The region is supposed to be stored in the drive itself.

How can I input data from dvd and VHS to iMovie 6?

I am trying to copy excerpts from a dvd that I recorded from a commercial dvd into iMovie for inclusion in a power point presentation. With the dvd in my super drive and using the help menu procecure of 1. Choose File >Import 2. Select the file you want to import 3. Click Open. When I select the dvd icon on my desktop and click Open, I ged a drop down window for importing files for about 20 seconds, but I never have any files presented in the clips squares on iMovie. I get the same results if I drag the dvd icon to the "drag clips her to build your project" strip. Same thing if I drag the icon to the clips squares. However, I never get any data presented in the areas and the play, reverse, review clips buttons. Same thing happens if I try to transfer the file on the dvd (VIDEO_TS) to the same locations. If I try to transfer the seven sub files individually, I get--The file could not be imported: The file “Hard Drive/Volumes/B04101500/VIDEO_TS/VTS_011.VOB” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -2048--. In all these situations there is no data presented in clips or display, but a gray clip area will go blank. This dvd is about 20 minutes in length and is not broken down into scenes in a menu. I recently upgraded to iMovie 6, so I reloaded the program to no avail. I have previously used iMovie 5, but it will not load as long as '6 is loaded.
Since I also have this data on a VHS tape, I tried to recode it through an ADS Tech Pyro A/V Link converter to enter it into iMovie. In the past this was a simple procedure--connect a VCR player to the converter, connect the converter to the firewire port on the iMac, the system profiler automatically recognizes the converter, start iMovie, then Play on the VCR, and press Import on the File menu. That starts the recording in the past. Now I get another drop down window with an "open" button. However, since there is no software for the Mac with the Pyro A/V, there is nothing to open. Has iMovie 6 made these procedures obsolete?? They have worked in the past.

Hi LesToile - welcome to the forum!
It is not possible to directly import material from a DVD as you are attempting. DVD is MPEG format - iMovie is incompatible with this. In order to use it, you must firstly convert it to DV format. Have a look here:

I have no knowledge of your A/V Link Converter, but if you have a vidcam you can use it to record from VHS to DV tape, and thence into iMovie (there are now problems with the alternative 'pass-through' method using the camera).

Help, Super DVD to ipod converter audio out of sync

Video is fine but the audion is cut and out of sync with the video, any suggestions would be appreciated

I haven't had the sync problem. Do you need to decrypt a DVD before sending it to Super DVD to iPod Converter? Also, how do you keep the same aspect ratio?

My Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not write DVDs and gets error code 0x80020022, what is wrong?

My Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not write DVDs and gets error code 0x80020022, what is wrong?

That code is not really useful since it just means it can't write DVD's (or probably CD's). The only thing you can do is first to try a different brand of DVD's, higher quality. You could also try burning at a slower speed.
Based on the fact that you are using an OSX that's no long supported, there's probably not much you can do to correct this issue if it is software related. You may also have a failing Super Drive, another consequence of an older Mac.

Super DVD to iPod converter problems

I have encountered a problem with Super DVD to iPod converter, which might have been stressed yet. Please let me know if so...
Problem: when i've ripped a dvd with DVD Decrypter and convert it with Super DVD to iPod converter, it doesn't play audio in Quicktime and it doesn't play at all on my iPod (black screen, no audio).
However, the Decrypted file does play in programs with sound and screen.
Something else, which scared me: when i played the DVD on my iPod it continued loading (the iPod was shaking) and the battery ran down in seconds. Scary or no prob at all???
Cheers, Piet

I bougt the Super DVD to iPod converter program and I'm having multiple problems.
First I couldn't figure out the registration code that I needed to enter from keeping lenogo charging me extra.
Then I think I finally figured it out because I was able to start the program but then after I pressed convert a large window popped up saying that all the conversion processes of the DVD failed. Every time.
And there is no phone number available to contact Lenogo support with, and the ticket I submitted, which I assume is a support email type thing, is not being replied to, and all the emails I send to their support email address, now totallying 5, maybe 6, has still yet to be replied to. I am very frustrated.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? If I can't get in touch I'm calling my credit card company, which I guess is the last resort. Ok, thanks

Difference between 8X Super Drive and 8X 'Double Layer' Superdrive?

Can someone advise me the difference, if any, between 8X Super Drive and
8X 'Double 'Layer' Super Drive. I often see both used in advertisments for
Apple Computers. Thanks.

DVDs can be single-layer (4.7 GB) or dual-layer (8.5 GB). All drives can read both types, and burn single-layer, but only a dual-layer drive can burn dual layer. Macs have all shipped with dual-layer drives for several years. I think all drives currently sold are dual-layer, so it may just be an omission in some of the ads, unless they are for older equipment.

Matshita DVD-R UJ-875: I cannot get it to accept blank DVD and CDs.

I have the super-drive Matshita DVD-R UJ-875. I have tried 5 different brands of DVDs they all get spit out. (My Macbook accepts them.) My iMac has some trouble reading a few DVD movie discs, but I eventually get it to go. CDs seem to have no trouble. Just blank DVDs and CDs get spit out. I get one success every about 50 discs to stay in and can burn. I have had the problem when running in Leopard, but not so much so, now I have the problem much more profound after updating to Snow Leopard in September. I switched from PC to Mac because my wife really enjoys video and photo editing on it. She feels very let down that she cannot burn any of her work. I really want to get this fixed. Anyone have any advice? I do have the 3 year warranty, but want to avoid taking it in if possible.

Having the same problem with my MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-875 drive on my Intel 24" imac. It still reads commercial CD and DVD discs, but for some reason spits out 75% of the CD-R discs I put in and now refuses to burn anything onto any blank CD I put into Itunes (on the few it WILL read to begin with). I suppose I will take it to the local authorized Apple repair shop and wait a few days to get it back. This will be the third time I have had it in since purchasing it in 2008. Once to have the defective hard drive replaced, again to have a defective hard drive fan replaced and now this. On one hand I am very glad I bought that $129 AppleCare, but on the other, I am tired of dragging this huge thing around and being without it for so long.

HD needs repair but only get a looping Restart with a Leopard DVD and USBHD

Ok here are my specs
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz

SMC Version (system): 1.32f8
Ok so here is a quick a dirty break down.
Computer has been acting Programs freezing and CPU slowing down.
I ran Verify Disk in Disk Utilities and it said I need to repair Disk.
After a day of head aches I am finally asking for help.
So here is the problem on my old powerbook pro I could just load in Target Mode and repair with tech tool or disk warrior but alas my macbook has no firewire.
So just incase of emergancy's I have a thumbdrive with a live 10.5.3 and all my disk utilities. I've used it on my wifes older Intel Macbook Pro 17" and it works fine.
Today though when i restart hold down the option key "alt" and select the drive my macbook restarts acts like its going to load and the restarts again. This restart loop will go on as long as I let it.
Ok so usb drives can be problematic. Surely starting to the OS X Retail DVD with 10.5.4 and running disk utilities will work. Nope still get the endless restart loop when I've loaded the install dvd and restart with command "c" as well I get the same response if I select it after holding the option key.
Now my hard drive won't even start up either unless I boot in single user mode.
I am lost.
HELP Please.

Have you tried booting into safeboot (safemode)? You may want to try resetting your PRAM and or SMC. Another thing you might try is to plug the thumbdrive in the other USB port.
If you could get an external USB drive with osx on it you could try booting from it.
Apple sure did screw up not putting firewire on that Macbook, my wife has one and I just can't get over it. Sure can make it hard to troubleshoot.

I just finished creating a movie in IMovie and now want to burn it to a DVD and make it loop. Since I just purchased this IMac it no longer comes with IDVD. My question is how to burn and loop a dvd without IDVD. Thanks for any help.

I just finished creating a movie using IMovie and want to burn it to a DVD and loop it. Since I just purchased this mac it looks like they no longer include IDVD. Is there something out there to help me do this. I am new to MAC and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
If you wish to pay for software, there are many, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates.
Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain.
Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates.
Burn, I have never tried, since I have iDVD and Toast for those ocasions when I need to burn a DVD. However, since it is free, I think it is worth a try.
Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can alsouse SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.

Recording sound from DVD and CD play

I just bought a Zen V Plus. Could someone please tell me how to record sound from a DVD and/or CD to my MP3? Thank you!

Try this:
1. Connect the Line IN jack on your player to the line output of an external stereo source, such as a CD or MiniDisc player, using the supplied line-in cable.
2. Press the Back/Options .You may need to do this more than once until the main menu appears.
3. Select Extra button to start a line-in encoding.
5. On your external stereo source, start playing the song you want to encode.
6. While encoding, you can press and hold the Back/Options button and select one of the following items:
Pauses the encoding. You can also pause the encoding by pressing the Play/Pause button.
Stops and saves the encoding. You can also stop the encoding by pressing the Record
Split Ends and saves current recording session, and begins a new one.
7. Press the Record button to end the line-in recording. The recorded track is named LINE followed by the date and time of the recordin YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS<. For example, if you record a track on March 5, 2004 at 2:57 pm, the track is named LINE
This information can also be found in your user's guide, it's a .chm file found in your installation cd.

Running a mid 2009 iMac on 10.7.5, 3 gb memory, 320 gb hd.
Suddenly the computer stoped reading DVDs and the only time I can read a CD is if I restart. Quite often when I insert a CD it gets stuck and I cannot get it out until I restart and it shows up on the desktop where I can then eject it.
I have checked and double checked the finder prefs and all looks normal showing a check mark on CDs,DVDs etc. (the ones I want to show up on the desktop)
I have reset the PEAM, repaired permissions with both the disk utility on the computer and the disk utility when I start up in the Recovery Disk. I did notice that sometimes the permission repeat the same correction several times before it moves on, and sometimes it doesn’t. I have Windows installed on a partition but I keep it unmounted until it is needed for my wife’s work. The dock seems to be just fine and all the apps seems to run just fine. When I insert a photo CD iPhoto does not open but when I insert a music CD iTunes does open.
Also, most every time I open iPhoto it takes a long time(sometimes as long as 2 minutes) for it to load.
Sometimes my Mail (Mail 5.3) does not post new mail but most of the time it does.
Once and a while it seems like the computer slows way down but then it seems ok ten minutes later.
All of these ‘things’ seemed to have happen suddenly and I have not downloaded anything from the internet in some time.
Of course the warranty and extended warranty are both no longer in effect having had this computer for more than three years.
I am running Java and Adobe Player because some of the sites I go to a lot require both.

I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:

I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
I hope you'll post here with your results!

My parent's IPad is SUPER outdated and I'm trying to buy an app for my brother for Christmas. However, the computer that was connected to the IPAD, we no longer have. So is there any way I can update it on my mac without erasing all the photos and videos?
