My HP DVD-RAM GH40L SCSI DVD burner will burn CDs and DVD+Rs, but it will not burn DVD-Rs.

I have only tried to burn CDs and DVD+Rs before, and both work fine, but when I tried to burn a DVD-R, it failed.  I put the same blank DVD-R in my HP notebook computer, and it burned it just fine.  This happened twice, so it is not the DVDs.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the burner with device manager, but still have the same problem.  Is there a firmware update or something that will fix this, or do I just have a defective burner?  Thanks!

  • How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts?

    How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts? Additionally, what does 'File' 'Finalize Project' do?

    Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
    If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
    Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
    Under the Video section click on Settings...
    Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

  • I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    Probably because they don't accept that media.
    Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

  • Have a .mp4 video and would like to use it to burn to a disc and be able to be played on a dvd player, should i use idvd or what? also have a .avi file what should i use? thanks please help

    Have a .mp4 video and would like to use it to burn to a disc and be able to be played on a DVD player and a .AVI file what program should I use idvd?

    iDVD may or may not work with them – depending what kind of MP4 and AVI each is.
    Drag them into iDVD and preview them to check compatibility.
    If there are issues, use MPEG Streamclip and re-wrap them as QuickTime.

  • Won't read DVD movies but will read CDs and Data DVDs

    Subject says it all. The iBook will read CDs and data DVDs just fine. When a movie DVD is inserted the DVD player will start up just fine but when the play button is pressed a message comes up saying the the disc is not supported. If it's a software problem where can i find the drivers to fix it.

    Could it be the Region Codes for playing DVDs have all been used
    in that machine, and so the remaining code(s) do not match the
    discs you have been trying to play within it?
    Or does this problem also occur when attempting to play non-region
    non-commercial DVD movie discs in the computer?
    If the DVD Player has run out of region codes, there is a way to
    hack or change the defaults; but the one I've read about does
    require the DVD player firmware to be changed for it to work.
    The one I've read about (but have not tried) is named Region X.
    There are limitations and details, so even after messing around
    it may not work; if that is the problem in the first place.
    One of these only works if you play a DVD from a "region-free"
    DVD drive; so this may be an external drive, not inside the Mac.
    So, if the hardware has a defect, that's one thing. If the drive
    has seen too many region player changes, that's another. If
    the lens is semi-dirty, it may not read or record some media.
    All of these kinds of things have been noted by people online.
    Sometimes a search may yield some fringe findings by folks
    who've unusual issues with their equipment, if not mainstream.
    Perhaps some software such as Region X for Mac may help,
    if not, there may be other options if the player isn't defective.
    Region X for Mac:

  • A DVD (mpg file only) comes up on my MacBook and Dell PC but not my iMac.  Aren't all Macs alike?

    A DVD (mpg file only) comes up on my MacBook and Dell PC but not my iMac.  Aren't all Macs alike?  I was told by a couple of experts to copy the file on my MacBook and then send it to my iMac.  But shouldn't my iMac show it now if my little Mac does?

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then pop in the DVD again.

    and, looking at that, the k8temp do not work properly, it shows an error at startup (that happened in the latests kernel upgrades too, I guess)
    Currently I have this in my fstab (as it was working previously)

    but I tried commenting those lines without not luck

  • I updated to iTunes 12.0.1.26 and I am trying to burn a play list and it gives the following message: disc burner or software not found.  This is the first time that I have this problem.  Can any one help me please?

    I have a Mac Book Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7; Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
    I updated to iTunes 12.0.1.26 and I am trying to burn a playlist and I get the following message:  "Disc burner or software not found" .  I have burned lots of CD's and DVD's before and this is the first time I get this message and cannot burn anything.  Can anybody help me, please?

    Hello queenabs,
    It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found."  I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
    I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
    If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

  • I transfered my itunes library to an external hard drive, and its accessible, but I can't burn a cd now. I need help!

    I transfered all my music to an external hard drive, and changed the location in the preferences options in itunes. I can add music to the library, i can play music and make play lists, but I cannot burn a cd. What's happening, and what can i do to fix, or get around this problem?

    Ok. progress...
    So is your media folder called iTunes Music or iTunes Media? And does it have a folder called Music inside it?
    Before going any further you should first attempt to use File > Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (ignore if grayed out). This will make sure that any iPod Games or Mobile Applications get placed inside the iTunes Media folder which is needed for portability.
    If your iTunes Media folder is called iTunes Music, close iTunes, rename the folder as iTunes Media and start iTunes again. iTunes will automatically adjust. Close iTunes again.
    On your external drive rearrange the folders that you have already copied there so that they match the layout in your active library. You should end up with a folder called X:\iTunes where X: is the external drive letter, and the media folder is X:\iTunes\iTunes Media. If the library layout was upgraded then you will need to create a Music folder inside this and move all the artist folders and Compilations into Music. You will also need to copy iPod Games and Mobile Applications from your internal drive into the new media folder. Next copy the files iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork from the internal drive into X:\iTunes. The preceding manipulations should make the internal and external copies of your library match without you having to copy all of the media over again.
    Now hold shift as you start iTunes. Click choose, browse to and open X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
    Finally use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files. This will ensure that any stray files that might have been added from outside your original media folder will be copied into the new one.
    You can now reclaim the space used by your library on the internal drive, however before you do so I would advise you to obtain another external drive and make use of this backup tip.

  • I have burned 3 audio cds and none of them work in my computer or car.

    I have burned 3 audio cds from my mac and none of them work in my car or computer and the last time I made a cd 3 weeks ago everything worked fine. Help is it the new itunes 10????

    What type of disc did you burn? Audio CD, data disc or MP3 disc. To play in the car, it's best to choose audio CD.

  • What do I need to do with the warning of "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs is missing."? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled itunes but there has been no change. I have PowertoGo on my HP.

    What do I need to do to correct the problem. Unistalling and reinstalling iTunes has not helped. I have PowerToGo on my HP. I can burn through this program but want to do so by iTunes. Any Suggestions that would help? Diagnostics for iTunes states that "No driver found" E:hp DVD A DH16ACSH.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • I am trying to burn a DVD from an iphoto album, I placed it in the order I want , but it does not burn in that order, and has picked up other photos not in the album

    I have created an album of phots, moved into order I want to burn, cd and dvd. It burned out of order in album and also added pictures not in Album highlighted to burn. Also was hard to view all pictures and move more quickly into order to view. I am use to using powerpoint and shows all slides at 1 time small thumnails so easy to move

    Re the order on the DIsk:
    When you export from iphoto you are in the Finder and that doesn't have the same sorting options as iPhoto. There is no "manual" sorting in the Finder, for instance.
    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.
    Burn that to the disk.
    I'm sorry but I haven't a clue what the rest of your query is about.
    Regards
