MBP and 2X DVD burning

I am not sure why this is; it could be that certain DVD+R are not capable of higher "X" burning, but, today I decided to test the SuperDrive of my new MBP, using a FujiFilm disc I had purchased about a year ago for other reasons. I was unable to burn faster than 2X. According to specs, the drive should burn up to 4X. Any information?
Thanks in advance

I'd be wondering what the precise definition of "verification" is for these different pieces of burn software. If you're just writing all the files in some sub-directory tree out to the disc and when done going back to compare file contents on the newly burned disc with those on the hard drive, then there's a good chance things won't compare if the files on the hard drive changed subsequent to being written to the disc.
If Toast is smarter about how it handles verification, it may not be so fragile in the face of changes taking place concurrent with the act of writing the disc.
This is just conjecture, however. I don't know how Toast or the Finder or any other burn software handles verification. I do know that I've had Finder verification failures, too, while other 3rd-party (freeware, in my case) software did not report verification failures.

Internal and external DVD burner ?

Hi all, have a general question, currently have a HP ProBook 6455b, obviously has an internal DVD burner.. I am looking to add an external DVD burner...is this possible to run an internal and external at the same time? would I need additional burning software? Burning is quite slow takes over an hr to burn one DVD, currently using Windows DVD burner because it is simple and effective.. or should I just use another program that is quicker? any ideas or suggestions on fast burning programs? thanks you guys are the best!

You're very welcome.
I have never burned a movie with mine but I have burned large 3+ GB ISO images using CD Burner XP, and it takes just a few minutes.
Now, if you mean can you insert a disk in one drive, and copy that disk via the other drive using the same program set to copy or grab disk, that should be possible.
It should show one drive as the one to copy from and one to copy to, just like if you had two DVD drives in a desktop PC.
If you are asking can you simultaneously burn two different files on two different burners using the same program at the same time, that I have no clue. I guess you would have to try it and find out. You would open the program and burn one file to a disk and open the program again and burn another file to the other DVD burner. If the program won't let you open two instances of it at the same time, then you probably could open a different DVD burning program such as the one I posted above and use that to burn the other files with.

IDVD and External DVD burner

I'm currently working on a DVD for a wedding scheduled for Saturday. The DVD works great on the Mac and PC, however, when attempt to play it in a DVD player playing to a TV the music is choppy during the transitions (dropplet). By the way, my superdrive has a 2x burner.
Thinking that it might be the slow DVD, I purchased a LaCie external DVD but now can not get iDVD to recognize the LaCie burner.
Any suggestions on either issue???

Thanks for the help. I was able to get iDVD to recognize the new DVD hardware by simply loading a new DVD into the drive and responding to the question screen concerning what to do with the blank DVD. I was also able to burn the project and make it work with a computer and two DVD players that I have access to. Unfortunately, the brides parent's DVD player basically stops playing the music during the waterdrop transitions I was able to drop the transition and burn a new DVD and all worked fine.
Sorry, I was just panicking before the big day.
Thanks again.

Macbook pro dock - with ext hd and ext dvd burner and cooling fans needed??

why doesn't anybody make these? I could have a 1 terabyte HD, dvd burner and cooling fans to keep the macbook pro cool enough to touch while playing wow, or editing video. It could also be made of aluminum and look great. Oh and it has to be configurable to allow use of any 15" macbook pro(ie, bookends units are different because new models include firewire 800)

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do you have iStatPro? You can download it from the Apple site and see what it is that is running so hot. Under the low usage you describe, the fans should be idling silently. And you might be able to tell what is getting so hot.
If Activity Monitor doesn't show anything, then you might want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test. It sounds like something is getting very hot. If there is a hardware problem, then you should get one or more error codes. The Apple Hardware Test is on Install Disc #1 of the gray discs that came with your Mac--you boot to it by holding down "D". Instructions are on the disc and on the screen.
Also, be sure you have "All Processes" selected on the Activity Monitor. And the boxes at the bottom should be mostly black with very little red or green at 3.5% CPU usage. Given all the symptoms, I am surprised that there is not some process running amok in the background.
Good luck!

Internal Zip Drive and Internal DVD Burner Question:

Where can I find an internal Zip drive for my b&w g3 desktop?
Or should I just get an external USB or 1394 Zip drive?
+(I have a 20gb hard drive that doesn't have its computer anymore and I connected it to a Gateway 2000 and the hard drive has Windows 98 SE with lots of files...jpegs for example...and I am going to get the files off of the hard drive before I erase it and put it on another desktop. The only way I can get it off is with a Zip drive. The USBs wouldn't work).+
Besides that one reason, I was going to get an internal Zip Drive for my Apple desktop anyways.
I have a DVD Rom in the apple desktop. I also want to upgrade it to a DVD Burner / DVD+R/RW or whatever it is called. Is that possible?
Message was edited by: In-Correct

I have a B&W G3/400 purchased in '96 which I've upgraded with the PowerLogix 1.1 GHz Zif Upgrade. When Apple introduced OSX I also installed and ATA hard drive, and a few years ago I replaced the original Apple CD ROM with a Pioneer DV D-RW DVR-111D (which surprisingly burns DVD's faster than my new iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core2 Duo). The Pioneer DVD burner works like a charm. There were no issues at all when it came to the instyallation: rebooting, reading installation CD's or what have you. It was true, PLUG & PLAY.
The G3 is currently running:
1) OSX 10.4.11, on an ATA drive (Maxtor 6L100PO; 93.37GB) &
2) MAC OS 9.2.2 on the original equipment 9GB SCSI Drive
The G3 cannot take advantage of the ZIF processor upgrade in OSX 10.4.11, and I am in the process of downgrading OSX to 10.4.9 so that I can take advantage of the faster processor. According to PowerLogix the ZIF upgrade is not compatible with a later version of OSX after 10.4.9 as they have been unable to keep up with the changes Apple has been making in the OS.
I hope this helps.

DVD Studio Pro and Firewire DVD burner

Hi All,
I'm using DVD Studio Pro 3.0.2 and trying to burn a project on a firewire dual layer dvd+-r burner. I stick in a blank dvd-r and hit the burn button and it keeps telling me to insert acceptible dvd media. This drive does work, as I have used Toast to burn stuff on it. I do have a dvd burner in my powerbook, however it's an old burner and won't burn to the new 16x dvd-r's, so I don't have any discs for it. Any help would be great.
Thanks,

Did you author a DVD and now you are trying to burn it by using "build/format"?
If so, make sure you use a new disc because if you have tried to reuse this disc, it could have written a bit of information during the lead in, making the disc useless.
If it is a new disc, then just select Build/Format and when you are prompted to insert the disc, put it in.
Does your burner show up in the Output Device tab when you choose Build/Format?

[845 Series] 845PE and SATA DVD Burner, am I missing something here?

Hello all,
I seem to be finding a lot of people with issues regarding Plextor SATA drives, but I may just not have the right mobo to do what I want, maybe someone can help me figure this out.
Here are my basic specs:
845PE Max2 mobo
3 HDD(Don't think brand/capacity matters here)
1 DVD ROM drive
I have 2 of my HDD hooked up to my Primary IDE channel, and the DVD ROM hooked up to my Secondary IDE channel, and I have the third HDD hooked up to the extra IDE channel set up for RAID on this motherboard, but when I hook up the Plextor burner to my SATA channel 1, it doesn't show up ANYWHERE.
Here are my questions:
Can I use an optical SATA drive with this board, or will it only work with HDD's?
If I CAN use an optical drive, are the SATA channels hooked up somehow with the third IDE channel (In other words, is the fact that I have an IDE drive already on the third channel negating the SATA channels in the firsat place?)?
If the HDD IS what is causing the SATA drive not to show up, will moving it to the slave position on my Secondary IDE channel fix this, and if so, will my drive letter change?
I sure hope this isn't covered somewhere else in the forums, but I really didn't see MY exact problem anywhere.
I appreciate any and all help that you folks can provide!
Thanks!
Mike Wells

Your MOBO does not seem to be on the list as compatible with SATA Plextor optical drives. Of course, you could use a PCI card (SATA) in your machine.
Here are links to Plextor's MOBO compatability list:

My new MacBook Pro won't recognize contents of photo and MP3 DVDs burned on a Windows PC.

When I insert a data disc burned on my PC (Windows Vista), my Mac says that the DVD is blank. This is not true. I have tried numerous DVD-Rs which contain mainly photos and MP3s. They all work in my PS3, but not my Mac.
I have hundreds of gig in both photos and music that I really want to transfer to my new Mac. Any suggenstions?
Thank you in advance!

The two most common causes of this behavior are:
1. The session wasn't closed after burning.
2. The disk wasn't closed after burning.
So, try again & properly close the session.

MBP dvd burner died, connect MBP to desktop PC and burn from there?

Hey guys, i have a an older Macbook Pro that has had a hard life and the dvd burner is no longer working. my question: is there any way, with a program i download or cord or anything, where I can connect my MBP to my old windows xp desktop and barrow the dvd burner in there? I think you could use remote burners with the Macbook Air but I never looked into it. Can I connect with a USB or Ethernet cable to my PC and just barrow the dvd burner in it to burn DVD Studio Pro projects? thank you in advance!
Macbook Pro Early 2008 i think. (Model# A1260)

In the Mac open System Preferences->Network pane, "Advanced" button and them click the WINS tab. There change the WINS name to the same one that is on the PC (MSHOME).
Also maybe the guide (even though it's for 10.5 or later) File Sharing With OS X 10.5 - Introduction to File Sharing With Your Mac. It might help.

DVD Burner keeps encoding and won't burn my file.

Trying to burn a home made video onto a DVD and when I attempt to do it, it won't go any farther than encoding the video. I have left it on for 2+ hours letting it encode and it won't get any higher than 60%. I'm using Windows Movie Maker software and Windows DVD burning software. There is no way it should be taking this long. I am using a Toshiba Satellite L355-S7902. Do I just need to change my DVD burning software or what? Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think so. I bought new disks yesterday to be sure and the result is the same. Also, when in the drives, none of the disks (old or new) make any kind of not-normal noise. Everything seems normal, except neither computer can burn. Weird!

New (Penryn) MBP instantly ejects DVD -R DL media

I recently bought a 2,4 GHz Penryn MBP with a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-867 (Firmware: HA13) optical drive. Profiler states it CAN burn DVD-Write: -R, >>>>-R DL<<<<, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW media.
However when I insert a brand new FujiFilm -R DL (I tried 3 of them) - the drive spins up then down and then ejects the DVD without any error message whatsoever. I have extensively searched the Forums, however I can not find my specifig problem answered anywhere.
Any ideas?
Thanks in avance,

I have YET to be able to burn any Dual layer disks at all - at least 9 bricked in a row so far.
So, i called applecare, got the machine sent in to be "fixed". They had it for TEN days, and then returned it to me with a "we couldnt duplicate the problem" message! I then tried to burn a dual layer yet again getting a wonderful coaster... According to the console it doesnt appear they tried using dual layers when they tested.... But anyway, zapping P-RAM, making a new user, the usual stuff didnt fix it. Tried 3 different companies disks too. Does the same in Disk Utility, and Toast. No dually layered love... period.
I havent called back in, because im afraid id be tempted to reach through the phone and strangle and innocent... i think ill try a clean install next, because i cant afford to go another ten days without it.

DVD burner no longer working on Touchsmart 600

I hope this is the correct forum. I have a Touchsmart 600 series and my DVD burner no longer reads DVDs or CDs, either digital, music or video. When I attempt to burn a DVD through Windows Media Player, WMP goes through all the motions of burning it but the CD is still blank. It had been working intermittently up through September and stopped working in November. The DVD burner didn't always work since I got the machine 2 years ago. Sometimes it would stop reading the disk but would work after a reboot. Now it won't even do that.
I have updated the drivers for it and it didn't seem to have an effect.
OS: Windows 7

we have lots of docs on HP.COM and there are a lot of steps in them - I'd try them here are a couple links:

DVD burning not working after upgrading to 10.5.1

Hi,
I just purchased a macbook and found that dvd burning stopped working after upgrading to mac os 10.5.1. I went back to 10.5 and now it works without problems. Since so far I haven't experience problems with 10.5, I will continue using it.
Anyway, I just wanted to let other users know about this problem. I didn't find any references about it in the forum.
Best wishes,
Manuel

Hi,
I just got DVD burning to work under 10.5.1. I had originally formatted the OS-X partition as "case sensitive". Today I reformatted the partition as a regular Mac-os journaled partition, re-installed leopard and the upgrade, and now DVD burning works fine. I am not 100% sure, but it seems that using the case sensitive format caused the problem.

Two computers, one DVD burner

Problem: I have two MACs, a new intel iMAC with iDVD 6 and no DVD burner, and an older "lamp" iMAC with iDVD 5 and a DVD burner. I would like to burn a DVD with a iDVD 6 project I have archived onto an external hard drive (using the burner on the old computer). [ I can access the external drive in either computer.] Can I use the old computer to burn the archived file to a DVD - a "real" DVD that will run on a TV with my DVD player? Can I do it just using disc utility on the "old" computer. And how do I go about doing this? Or, do I need "Toast" to do this - would toast work on the old computer with OS 10.3.9?
I was able to burn a disk image of the file to an apple DVD-R disc, but the DVD player only plays it on the "old" computer, and not on the intel iMAC nor on my DVD player for the TV. What am I missing?
Thanks for any help.

I was able to burn a disk image of the file to an apple DVD-R disc, but the DVD player only plays it on the "old" computer, and not on the intel iMAC nor on my DVD player for the TV. What am I missing?
It sounds like you didn't burn the disk image to writable media correctly with Disk Utility. A video DVD must be in UDF format to play in set-top players. It sounds like you created a DVD in Mac OS Extended format.
Use iDVD 6 on your intel Mac to create a disk image file (an option under FILE). You must then transfer that file (which might be as large as 4 GB) to your older iMac by first writing the image file to your external drive (you should be able to simply create it on that external drive out of iDVD 6).
You then must use Apple's Disk Utility or Roxio's Toast and your older iMac to burn the disk image to writable media properly. Simply burning from the Finder creates a Mac OS Extended format disc as you have found out.

Is there any work-around in Mavericks for DVD burning issue's

Ever since I installed the updated OX I get errors and problems burning disc's ( with my external Sony and OWC DVD burner's. Sometime's it freezes in the middle of burning and other times it hangs by the verification process. Even using Apple's own internal burner give's me these issue's. Even aborting the burn after it hangs is problematic. I usually have to turn off the burner and then on again and eject the disc . I use the latest version of Toast but have tried with Mac's own burning option. It makes no difference, both ways aren't working for me. In Bootcamp while trying to burn (on PC) side. The computer keeps crashing. I have had this experiance on my iMac and Mac Book Pro both early 2011.

Hi Pavan,
I am assuming you want to persist some intermediate values from a process XSLT invocation to another process XSLT invocation in BPEL.
An approach to persist variables in XSLT could be to persist them the target variable itself (in an optional section):
<li>This can be achieved by having an additional root element and mandatory element (say, data), having the actual schema and an optional complex type element (say, parameters, which would in turn consist of 2 elements name and value and maybe, if needed, type) attached to both the source and target schemas.
<li>whatever variable you would want to persist, you can append it in the XSLT to the target variable,as children of parameters node.
<li>Whenever, you want to invoke a partner link, you can have an assignment before invoking, which would assign the actual schema data (from element data) to the input variable of the invoke.
As there is no inbuilt solution for this, things could get messy.
Regards,
Shanmu.
