Memorex DVD+R DL 8x not compatible?

Hi,
I bought blank DVD, Memorex DVD+R DL 8x, but when I tried to burn with toast 8, I got a error message durring burning. I've read that it's probably because the brand is not recognize. I didn't have any problem with the Memorex DVD+R DL 2.4x. Do you know if there's a patch that can fix that compatibility problem? I know that the MBP doesn't burn at 8x, but should work at 2.4x even if I'm using 8x media.
Thank you!
Nic

The drives on both are known to be finicky (at best) and there are plenty of posts regarding problems with Memorex media; try it with better quality media such as Verbatim (I use that as well as Imation and they both work great).

HP C5380 DVD/CD Printing Feature Not Compatible With Mac

I purchased this all-in-one specifically for the feature of printing direct to cd/dvds. Other functions work fine but this will not. After contacting HP Support I am informed that this feature is not compatible with Mac. Surely this is false advertising as nowhere on the packaging can I find any reference to this. Under specifications it shows that system requirements were Mac OSX 10.5.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? I have searched mac support but can find no reference to this. Interested to hear other viewpoints and experiences.

Hello,
I would try printing directly on CD/DVD from the application HP Photosmart Studio.. Follow the steps below:
1. Open HP Photosmart Studio
2. Select an image from the Photosmart Studio library/browser
3. Choose "Create" in the toolbar
4. In the menu on the left, choose the following settings:
- Project: CD/DVD Label
- Label Type: CD/DVD (5 inch/120 mm)
5. Move the image from the media bar to the label, resize it if necessary
6. Click "Print" on the toolbar
Regards,
Vicarious

This machine is not compatible with Tiger OS X 10.4

Ok i'm trying to reformat my macbook pro
( 15 2.0ghz 2 gigs ram 80 gig hardrive, ALL UPDATES, FIRMWARE up to date.) I am not only unable to get it to boot from the DVD/install disk (I"ve tryed holding C/ reinserting the disk, turning it on holding C, booting from CD in startupdisk, holding c and my breath at the same time - pretty much everything. Obviously we've got a problem.
The disk is fine- reads fine, no scratches.
When I try to run OSX install from the DVD it says " Machine not compatible with tiger osx. Upon reading up on this **** it's acting like a firmware issue, however my firmware is up to date. I'm going on 3 hours of just trying to boot from my disk and I have to tell you all, I'm seriously thinking of just loading XP on this thing and calling it a night and an end to macs. I could have reformatted and loaded 4 computers if I were using XP. I appreciate any help, though and I know a lot of you are familiar grief and pain in here, so thanks for the help!

Thanks for all the help - I have wasted countless hours of my life on a computer, but I have learned. Tiger install disks are all for different machines. When I called apple for a replacement tiger disk for my macbook pro, I found out my apple care expired last month and that it would cost $40. As much as I would like to have one - i'm probably won't buy one, I'll look for "other" ways of getting one for sure.
Word to the wise - goto an apple store - they re-install tiger for free. Took me 15 minutes and cost me $0. I don't have a few apps like Ilife, and other meaningless programs that were originally on my macbook pro, but like I told the guy at apple, give me some bad news! I am so sick of macs, I"m still trying to get bootcamp to load XP over 4 days later- the pain is neverending, but thanks for the responses everyone, it's nice to know i'm not the only one in |-|ELL....

DVD+-R EUROPE not compatible???

I have used Imation and Memorex DVD-R's (purchased in the U.S.) successfully on my 17" pbook and the g5 tower. However, the other day I purchased a Verbatim DVD+R (in Europe) and my computer ejects it automatically. I had also purchased previously a set of DVD-Rs from Circuit City brand and neither the powerbook nor the G5 recognized them.
Are there any permissions I may have to set in order to utilize these DVD-Rs? I am living in Europe (Italy) and do not know whether these DVD-Rs are compatible with my U.S. purchased macs. I do not believe it should be an issue however, since I even have the region set to 2 on my 17" powerbook (and still, region should not be an issue when burning a DVD to a mac, since you can do it region free).
If there is anyone living in Europe, please advise what brand has worked for you so that I can purchase safely to give it a try. Thank you!!

Hi MACPOWER
Cheque that Your Mac really can handle DVD+ disks, not many can.
Can it be dust on Your DVD-player laser head. A CD/DVD cleaning disk ??
I used several brands incl. Verbatim, Apple, Sony etc with no problems.
Cheque if the speeds are OK. x2, x4, x8 etc.
Does both of Your Macs behave the same ?
Do You have one with Mac OS X.3.9 and QT 6.5.2 - How does this work ?

Cannot install Logic from DVD version 9.0.0. because it is not compatible with the latest OS 10.8.3

As I tried to install Logic 9.0.0 the OS comes out with a message saying that the OS is not compatible with this version of Logic.
I have Logic conventional DVD Software package.
How can I get this done?
Any help, I appreciate!
Thanks!

No, the message prevents me from installing.
Now, I took the App Icon from my Laptop which has the latest Logic Update installed and throw it in my new iMac's Application Folder. It seems to work OK.
What I havent installed are the Additional Content and all the DVDs that come with Logic.

Virtually any DVD burner that can connect to your Mac will work. They start at $40 on Amazon.

I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13.

I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this. You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts. Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.

DVD Player error: not compatible with OS

Trying to fix a coworkers G5. She has 10.5.8 running, and can't play any DVDs. She is up to date on all software updates.
When I went to the DVD player settings, I couldn't choose "DVD Player". When I tried to open the application it told me that DVD Player is not compatible with this version of the OS X.
Can I reinstall that application? If so, where do I find it? Is it on the system installation disk? Do I need to do a reinstall of OS X?? Any other options?
Thanks for any help given.

NERO burned DVDs not compatible with iMacs?

Can anyone confirm that DVDs burned with NERO
(in this case NTSC, Region 0/NO region code)
are not compatible with iMacs' DVD player?
When I insert these DVDs they get mounted, but DVD player can't play them.
Is there a way to fix this?
Or does the maker of the DVDs have to use special settings in NERO
to make them compatible?
Thanks!

Hi coxorange;
Since Nero is not an Apple product, I suggest you ask the vendor who wrote it.

Ts-L633a DVD drive not compatible with Windows 7 64bit upgrade

Ts-L633a DVD drive on my Pavilion Dv7 1232nr is not compatible with Windows 7 64bit upgrade but will work fine if I downgrade back to Vista 64bit so what DVD drive is there other then the TS-L633a drive that I already have that is compatible with the Windows 7 64 upgrade so that I can buy and install on my laptop.

Here's one out of nowhere: do you have CD/DVD software that includes Sonic DLA or something like it? I've seen that take over drives and prevent normal operation.
If you right click on the drive and hit properties, are there any suspicious looking tabs?
Total WAG, and about 1% likely, but there you go.

When attempting to burn a dvd to a memorex DVD Rdl 8.5GB blank disc, the program says it's not a recordable disc. The content is a 6.5GB Quick Time Conversion video.

When attempting to burn a Quick Time Conversion video to a Memorex DVD+Rdl, 8.7GB blank disk, the program reponds that the dic is not recordable. It's a new blank disk. The video is 8.29GB in size.

Hi
I see two problems
• Memorex never worked OK on Mac when doing Video-DVDs - I only use Verbatim (more organic dye in them)
• Size in Gbs - iDVD doesn't care about Gbs at all only duration. And Duration is the sum of Movie time AND MENU TIME.
I have 500Mb files that are to large to fit and 50Gb files that fit's nicely.
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.

"file is not compatible when import assets in dvd studio pro, my file are .mov and .mp4, what is the problem?

i have a MacBook Pro v. 10.7.5, also have dvd studio pro 4.2.2
I have a file exported from final cut v. 7, using quick time movie option, it created a file with .mov. When I import to dvd studio pro, I have an error
message " file is not compatible". shall I export again using different parm? settings? thanks for the help in advance.

Thanks, Russ. I had my problem resolved by re-creating file from Final Cut using the "Video Format" as "MPEG-4 improved" instead of "H.264" before.
My orginial source is a dvd came from Taiwan, I used software 'Handbrake' to convert it to MPEG-4. Input to Final Cut to edit it. Exported out with H.264 as Video Format, wishing to improve the image quality but run into 'file impaitable' when import to DVD SP.
Now. I exported out Final Cut using the following parms, pictures quality is not bad.
1. File format = MP4
2. Image size= 1280x720 HD
3. frame rate = 30
4. video format = MPEG-4 Improved
hope this help people who might run into same problem. I never use the Compressor, will try it next time. thanks Russ.

Memorex DVD-RW spinsm not recognized, ejected

My wife has a MacBook Pro running 10.5.1 with these specs:
HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080M:
Firmware Revision: AA26
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 0 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
When inserting Memorex DVD-RW and Verbatim DVD-R both blanks discs spin then stop and get ejected. there's not even a pop-up saying it isn't recognized. Sometimes, the DVD-R by Verbatim burn but can't be read in her optical drive (but they can be read in my MacBook with all info in tact!)
Any ideas what's wrong with those discs or with her optical drive?
She has some success burning Melody DVD+R discs. Her drive can also read those.
According to the hardware specs listed above her computer should be able to read all of those discs.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

You will want to ensure your USB DVDRW drive is properly connected to the Windows 8 VM in question.
To check this you will want to use the Vmware vSphere client to connect to your Vmware ESX/ESXi host.
Next, you will want to edit the settings for your Windows 8 virtual machine and check that you have added a USB controller and then connected the USB device to the controller. This is a manual assignment. If your DVDRW drive you wish to connect is actually
connected via SATA on the motherboard of the host then you will want to go through the same process to ensure the CD/DVD drive of the host has 'connected' and 'connect at power on' selected under settings.
Below is a screenshot of what you should see:

IDVD says my DVD burner is not compatible.

Hi,
My PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-107D magically became not compatible when I installed Tiger and iDVD 6. When I open iDVD I get a message saying my drive (that has always worked in other applications and in the Leopard OS) is not compatible. Is there a solution other than buying a new drive? How do I tell if a new drive would be compatible with iDVD 6? The one I own should be.
Thanks.

I have not seen your problem mentioned before.
Did you delete preferences and do a permissions repair after installing? If not, try doing that.
Sometimes permissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iDVD starts acting funny, or you install new software or do an upgrade, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iDVD. iDVD will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iDVD to function correctly. 25GB often is recommended by users of this forum. Now see if iDVD still has the problem.
