My dvd don t work

my dvd don t work

DVD can be inserted and the proper program for the dvd player is installed but cannot get DVD to play, only to eject. Options are to fix, format, etc but not run, or play. Is Apple unable to use a disk created on microsoft system?

Panasonic DMR EZ37V, dvd don;t work , DVD are not finalized

We have a Panasonic DMR EZ37V that will no longer play DVDs. We want to get another DVD recorder, but want to know if DVD's not finalized on our machine will work on another company's DVD player-recorder

Welcome to the forum, charles!!
You're new, so don't sweat it, but this question belongs in the TV and home theater section. Flagged as such.
To answer your question, however...
I'm inclined to say yes, but I'll admit I'm guessing. Take an un-finalized disc to the store and ask to play it. They won't have a problem doing that for you if it earns your business. Good luck.

Burned DVDs don't work in DVD player

Hi, I've burned a couple of DVDs using my MacBook Pro, and although they play OK in the Mac they don't play in my DVD player or on a PC. Has anyone else found this? My latest effort was an iDVD movie that was over an hour long and so I used the 'highest quality' setting and PAL because I thought that's what you use for the UK. It all worked quite slowly as my MacBook Pro doesn't have much free space left.
Any ideas?

Hi, I've burned a couple of DVDs using my MacBook
Pro, and although they play OK in the Mac they don't
play in my DVD player or on a PC. Has anyone else

Any ideas?
Did you select PAL BEFORE starting your project or after you had started? You should select PAL before starting a project. This could cause problems with your DVD player.
What brand of writable DVD media did you use? Was it DVD-R or DVD+R? What was the rated burn speed?
It all worked quite slowly as my MacBook Pro doesn't have much free space left.
This can cause lots of problems in creating a project. You probably should have over 10 GB free to do any iDVD work.

IMac (Intel) Restore DVDs don't work if the drive has been formatted first

Here's an interesting find...
we have a gob of iMac G5s that were being re-imaged and one iMac Intel was mistakenly re-imaged with a G5 dmg (via Firewire Target Disk Mode).
As expected, the iMac Intel wouldn't boot from a 10.4.4 image built on a G5, but now when I try to restore the Intel back to the out-of-the-box state (booting from its OS dvds), the installer reports "You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume. Mac OS X cannot start up from this volume." The Options button is greyed-out (where normally you could select Options and choose Erase and Install).
Further inspection on another out-of-the-box Intel iMac (in Firewire Target Disk Mode) shows its hard drive is actually partitioned into two volumes: One is a 200MB partition, the other is the remainder and mounts as Macintosh HD. The 200 MB partition will not mount (via Disk Utility).
I'm assuming that since the Intel iMac's drive was erased prior to booting from it's OS DVDs, the necessary partitions are not present.
Anyone have any info? I'm guessing that since I did not initiate the restore from the DVD's "Install Mac OS X and Applications" script the drive did not get partitioned correctly...
TIA -m.

Yeah, I found that out. Here's one link that describes the issue:
http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=08405
My point was to illustrate the OS Installer/Disk Utility’s inability (while booted from the OS DVD) to provide the option to choose the GUID partitioning scheme for a volume during an “erase and install” on a drive that has been previously formatted under the “traditional” partition scheme – the “options” button does not appear.
To reinstall to factory defaults, I had to boot the target iMac into Firewire disk mode and use another iMac (Intel) and its Disk Util to get the “options” button to select the GUID partition scheme.
Oh well, I’m sure Apple’s working on that…

After Windows 10 Install - Printer Officejet J4580 and CD/DVD Don't Work

After my install of Windows 10Pro Build 10240, my printer is found (HP Officejet J4580) in the device manager, but I can't print anything from my Office 2010, or any other program. Also, my CD/DVD (HP DVD RW AD7251H5) is not even found in device manager. I have disconnected and reconnected, and still it is not recognized. Any help would be appreciated.

Help on purchasing a dvd camcorder to work with imovie

hello out there...was wondering which camcorder that has a dvd burner works best with imovie and osx...i want a sony, but i thought the small dvd's did not work on osx. presently, i have a digital8 and use a firewire connection to ingest video for editing with imovie. thanks for any help...

... boxes that holds DVD and hard drive recorders:
These files are intended for "one time" captures.
The file format is not intended for editing.
I totally agree with your recommendation: try to avoid DVD and harddisk camcorders at this point if you plan to edit on a Mac. Not only is software support seriously lacking, those Mini-DVDs don't even work with slot-loading drives that are common on Mac's.
But... there is nothing wrong with the MPEG-2 compression used on DVDs. Just look at HDV: It uses the same MPEG-2 compression to fit the the HD video into the space of a SD MiniDV tape. iMovie converts HDV video streams during capture into a format that is easier for editing - that's why the files on your harddisk are 4 times as big as the data on the tape. The quality of video captured by most consumer camcorders is more limited by the optics and the video sensor (in particular indoors, with less than perfect lighting), than the recording format and media. And yes, you can edit MPEG-2 just fine, it is just more challenging to get it working right.
I used to tell all my friends to stay away from DVD camcorders, too, but then broke down and very reluctantly bought a DVD camcorder recently. It's mainly used for recording music lessons, with instant and repeated replay. It took me some tinkering to work out a good workflow for editing with iMove. I did some side-by-side comparisons with a similarly priced MiniDV camcorder (Canon DC50 vs. Sony TRV-33). Overall, the video clips were almost identical from either camcorder, with the DVD camcorder producing slightly better video in some situations. But as I said in the beginning, that is probably mostly a result of the better video sensor and the optical image stabilization in this particular model.
So how does my workflow go:
- Use DVD-RWs, formatted in Video-VR mode, and prefinalized. This allows
you to pop out the DVD from the camcorder at any time and immediately
use it in your DVD player or computer without another time-consuming
finalization step.
- Find a Windows PC to copy the video files from the DVD to my Mac.
Mac OSX cannot read the filesystem used by Video-VR discs without
additional software like Roxio's Toast (which I don't have). Besides, all
my Macs are slot loading.
- Convert the clip with the Quicktime MPEG-2 plugin and MPEG Streamclip
to DV format.
- Finally, import the clips into iMovie.
Workable yes, but neither convenient nor esay. Stick with MiniDV.

Mouse clicks don't work

I have set up a menu with auto action buttons and for some reason mouse clicks don't work. I can click multiple times on a button without anything happening. However, navigating with arrows on the keyboard works fine.
Is there anyway I can enable my mouse to work.

Hi,
Are you testing your DVD in DVDSP simulator? If som try building the disc in your hard drive and test runing the VIDEO_TS folder with DVD player to check if the issue is there too.

Mplayer and xine don't work

I cannot say much. I've tested it with Mplayer and xine but both don't work. I want to use Mplayer so I'll speak only from mplayer.
When I start Mplayer and go to DVD - Open Disc this error appears -> "Cannot open the IFO file for DVD title1"
I don't know what I should do. I have the following packages installed on my machine mplayer 1.0pre5-5, libdvdcss 1.2.8-1, libdvdread 0.9.4-2 everything from pacman.
I couldn't say more so I hope anybody know something.

No my dvd is not mounted when try to run the dvd.
Mplayer is pointing to /dev/dvd as normal and I made the right entries for generating /dev/dvd in /etc/devfsd.conf
I only have /mnt/dvd cause I only have one Multi DVD drive which supports all. I think I should mention that it's a Laptop.
I'll post the entries from devfsd.conf which counts to the possible failure generators.
# CD-Rom Permissions for burningREGISTER
^ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd PERMISSIONS root.cdrom 666
# Create /dev/dvd

REGISTER ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ${devpath} dvd
UNREGISTER ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink dvd
I suppose that it has to do with the packages from pacman. Eventually they are not compiled with the proper options to mplayer or something like that stuff. So if anyone has dvd playback running under the same packages as I, plz reply.

Thinkpad Yoga 13 keyboard and mousepad don't work

Hello people!
Last time I went to US, I've bought this machine from Amazon: Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga Signature Edition - 12.5" 2-in-1 Touchscreen Notebook PC - Intel i5 Haswell / 8GB RAM / 128GB SSD / WiFi / Webcam / Windows 8.1 - Black
I love it! At least until two weeks ago... after a windows/lenovo update things starts to be really hard.
My keyboard and mousepad simple don't work anymore, totally unresponsive. If I hit "del" to access the bios, the keyboard does work, after that, when windows is loading and fully loaded, I've got only the "tablet" mode.
The only thing that works correctly is the touchscreen, as it only recognize itself as a tablet, not as a ultrabook. The screen also rotates automatacly when windows is fully loaded, so I have to use the tent mode with an external usb keyboard/mouse or type in the screen keyboard...
I leave in Brazil, got in contact with lenovo suport team here, after a lot of procedures, that didn't solve the problem, they told me to get in contact with lenovo US and ask for an original dvd recovery.
Is there anyone with a different approach to solve this problem?

First try SMC and PRAM resets:

If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free diagnosis.

Qosmio G30-126 monitor become black and FN buttons don't work

Hi Martin
First of all its interesting if you have downloaded and installed all Toshiba Vista drivers which are released on the Toshiba European driver page?
All drivers must be installed in the right order!
If I'm not mistaken the Qosmio G30-126 belongs to the PQG32E series. It was delivered with HD DVD drive and therefore you should choose the drivers for Qosmio G30 HD DVD (PQG32E)!!!
Please check firstly the Installation Instructions txt file and then install all drivers like mentioned in this document.
Regarding the display issue;
You should install the right NVIDIA driver from the Toshiba page!!
The FN keys and control buttons dont work because the Toshiba Vista Value Added Package was not installed. This package contains different applications which are necessary to get all Toshiba functions running!
Good luck

Dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk,

dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk, what can I do?

Well I was able to obtain a work around download of Flash and it installed fine but Firefox tells me it needs updating so I go out, thinking I'm "IN" finally to update it and I get that issue of not being able to get the update for it. It's a regular laptop, not a touch screen or one of those new fangled ones for todays world. In fact it's a refurb so it's probably origin date was a year or so ago before all this MS stuff took off fully. So not understanding why I'm feeling like I'm being BLOCKED from getting the updated Flash I need and desire. If I click on the little "X" and tell it to ignore the warning the vid will play just fine but don't want to have to do that every time. Must be a better way.
Again, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum, getting this posted in the Flash forum was my desire but the way Adobe has this set up I just couldn't figure it out. I belong to ALLOT of forums and most are pretty straight forward but this one is confusing!
