MBP july 2009, replacing the dvd burner UJ 868

Any suggestion about with what replace the uj 868? is the 898 ok or please something else?

You should be able to replace that drive with any slimline (Notebook Style) "Slot loading" CD/DVD burner available, which there is a very small selections.
All modern CD/DVD drives have the exact same connections, power and data, in the exact same physical place on the drive case.
But it must be the same type of drive. Type meaning the data interface, SATA or PATA. More then likely yours is a SATA as PATA went out of use 6+ years ago.

Can I remove the dvd burner and replace it with a secondary bay hard disk?

Hi,
Yes you can, you need something like this to hold the HDD (or SSD):

Can I replace the DVD drive with a BlueRay Burner?

I have the HP Pavillion a6647c. I assume so but don't know if it takes more power. I learned from an ealier lost I can't really upgrade my video card as my power supply isn't strong enough. 230W I think.
Just incase some knows this answer too......my goal is to burn my HD movies off the hard disk and on to blue ray disks. Currently the playback of the movies on the PC is a bit jerky and I've been told by Canon I need a better video card. Will a movie I burn to a blueray also be slightly jerky on my TV through my blueray player or is it just when played on the PC?
Thanks

Yes, you can update the DVD burner to a Blu-ray buner. A movie that you have burned to a Bluray disc should play smoothly on your Blu-ray player. Your PC and your Blu-ray player are apples and oranges.

A quick question concerning replacing the DVD drive in a HP pavillion dv6-2057cl

I need to replace the DVD drive in this dv6 and I am wondering if there is any wiggle room when it comes to the replacement drive. Can I use another HP disc drive with a similar model # or am I restricted to the "identical" drive?
Some quick info follows:
OS = Windows 7 home premieum (32bit)
The drive pulled out of the laptop:
Super Multi DVD Rewriter
MODEL: GT20L
FW : DC05
HW : A2
TYPE : AMCK702
CT : 7AXVK012GY3NRY
HP mPC PN : 461646-6C2
S/N :
{Removed for privacy}
MANUFACTURED : OCTOBER 2008
I have found a replacement with the same "Model #" and same "HP mPC PN" however it was manufactured in 2009 and I do not know if the placement of the SATA connection on the rear of the drive matches up or not.
Any help is much appreciated!!!!!!
Thank you,
DaFlash

It looks like the part number is the same. As long as the part number is the same, it is essentially the same part and should work without any issues. The only time that part may not work is if the part number is different. If any part is different from another part (firmware, hardware, etc.), it will have a different part number. As long as 461646-6C2 is the same on both, there shouldn't be any issue with replacing the drive.

How to identify which applicarion is using the DVD burner?

How to identify which applicarion is using the DVD burner? Ot is not allow me to burn the DVDs genetrated in the Final Cut 7

I think you'll find that the application is Final Cut Pro... the message is bug. I get a similar message when disconnecting external drives after using them with FCP (even when the project is no longer loaded.)
As I mentioned above, the accepted workflow is to export the sequence to one of your hard drives using the Export>QuickTime Movie path with Settings:Current Settings and Make Movie Self-Contained checked like this:
This gets you a high quality "master copy" which you open in Compressor for transcoding. You should use the DVD: Best Quality setting for the duration of your movie.
this gets you the high quality MPEG-2 and AC-3 files for DVD Studio Pro authoring.
If you've never used DVD Studio Pro before, you can use iDVD instead. For iDVD, you just drag and drop your "master" on iDVD and it takes it from there. Both make a very professional product.
hope this helps.

M30-107 - replacing the DVD-RW drive?

I'm thinking about replacing the DVD-RW drive in my laptop. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the steps that would be involved in doing this, or else where I might be able to find such information.
Thanks!

Hi Philip,
Feliks is quite correct with his observations on your query. SInce the unit is 'fixed' in your notebook you will invalidate your warranty if you replace it yourself.
However, as with most notebooks, the CD/RW can be removed if you really want to. It is normally slotted into place and then secured with one or two screws. My A30 for example is secired by a single screw accessible from the base of the notebook. I am not sure about the M30 model that you have so you will need to check where it is fastened.
Once the securing screw(s) are released the unit can be slid out of its slot.
You should then be able to find the identification label on the unit and this will tell you the make and model number.
If you are replaceing it with a similar unit then you will probably need to remove the plastic bezel and trim panels together with any mounting brackets and fit them to the new unit.
Replace the unit and re-secure it with the screws and the job is then done.
You can, of course, replace your unit with a different make (Toshibe notebooks use several different ones) but there is no guarantee that you new unit will work correctly without your having to install new drivers for it.

HP dv7 notebook PC does not recognise the dvd burner.

HP dv7 notebook with win7 64bit does not recognise the dvd burner.A diagnostic check says the dvd is working but it cannot play or burn CDs,DVDs as the DVD does not appear with the other HDs in the computer window.Can anyone help?

Hi,
It's possible that this is a hardware issue with the optical drive itself, but try running automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Check if the drive is now working.
If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

DP-K

Please help! why is the DVD burner not burning dual layer media in my G5?

I have tried, unsuccessully, to burn dual layer DVD's on my G5 using the latest iDVD software (iLife '08) but to no avail. I switch to dual layer in iDVD but invaribly, I always get a multiplexing error at the end of the burn. Any suggestions?

Are there any plans to update OS 10.4.11 to include a firmware update for the DVD drive? Or has it already been changed in Leopard?
Depending on what model of Superdrive you have, there may be a firmware update from the manufacturer, just not from Apple. Updating to the latest firmware from the manufacturer often provides for better media compatibility, faster burn speeds, and sometimes even features that were disabled by Apple's version of the firmware.
DVD-R DL discs have one major drawback if you're using them to burn video DVDs - you have no control over where the layer break is placed. The first layer must always be filled completely before any data is written to the second layer. DVD+R DL does not have this limitation. You can place the layer break anywhere you like, just as long as the first layer is more full than the second.

To find a replacement drive I will need to know the actual product number. Its usually found on the bottom of the laptop. Here is a picture of what the sticker looks like:
Just let me know the P/N (product number) and I can point you n the correct direction.
Thanks!

Will the dvd burn a DL dvd

Will the dvd player/burner in my IMAC burn DL DVD`s

Depends on your model. Click on about this Mac under the Apple, then on more info. Click on System Profiler (I believe that's what it says in Snow Leopard) or System Report in ML and see what it says under Disc Burning.
