No disc burning  with a Pioneer DVR 111D using I-Tunes

I recently installed the Pioneer DVR 111D (rev 1.23) in my G4 550 running under Panther 10.3.9. I had to install the Patchburn to make it work.
Now it burns discs (dvd's) using the Finder, but not using I-Tunes.
Is there a fix?

my DVR 104 died a couple of weeks ago. went to OWC for a 111. it did the same with my Sawtooth at first, then downloaded Patchburn 3. I did notice that when Patchburn was on my Desktop, it wouldn't burn in iTunes, so I dragged the icon to my hard drive. then I went into iTunes and was able to burn from there. that may have been my initial problem. hope this helps.

  • Can you burn dl disc in iDVD 5 with a Pioneer DVR-111D?

    Guess I must have not posted that right the first time.

    Is it installed as an internal drive? or and external burner?
    iDVD 5 doesn't support external burners (directly).

  • Pointing iDVD to Pioneer DVR-111D?

    I've installed a second newer Superdrive in my MDD G4. It is a Pioneer DVR-111D. How do I change the preference in iDVD to burn a file with my new drive? With iDVD open and a disc in the new drive, iDVD only accesses my older Pioneer 104 and asks me to insert a disc.

    What version of iDVD are you using? Version 6 has support for non-Apple installed drives. Can the drive burn from iTunes (for example)? Select the new drive in iTunes' preferences and see if iDVD sees the drive. When I was on 10.3.9 this is what I did to get iDVD to see the new drive.

  • Installing Pioneer DVR 111D?

    Since Apple doesn't appear to be addressing the issue of the Sony drives that won't read old DVDs. I went to NewEgg and got a Pioneer 111D and I am going to install that in the lower bay. How should the jumpers be set on this? I have removed the faceplate, anything else I need to know?

    Well after reading many discussion forum posts I bought and installed two of the Pioneer DVR 111Ds, since my Sony units just stopped recognizing blank CDs and DVDs for burning (just as with many others' machines). Well, the Pioneer units worked fine..........for about 15 minutes. I burned several CDs and DVDs, no problems, but then, as with the Sonys after a few months, the Pioneers just stopped recognizing blank, burnable discs.
    Is there anything else to try??? Very frustrating.

  • Just got my Pioneer DVR-111D, it's flippin' sweet!

    Compared to my previous drive (sony DRU-820A) which took 29 minutes (excluding verification) to burn a 4.32GB DVD-R from the Finder at 16x, my new Pioneer DVR-111D burns a 4.32 GB in about 8 1/2 minutes (excluding verification) from the Finder at 16x.
    Based on the suggestions from WWJD and Hussein I got the Pioneer 111D from Newegg.com for under $40; it came with the latest firmware 1.06 also!

    Good to hear that the drive's working well.

  • Installing a Pioneer DVR-111D...

    Please bear with me as I have had no experience ever installing optical drives. But I am interested in upgrading my current stock combo drive to one of those spiffy new Pioneer DVR-111Ds that I keep hearing everyone talk about.
    However my intial question is, what happens to the front slide door if I install a new drive in my G5? I don't exactly know the technical hardware term for it, but the one that's mac hardware specific and opens before the actual drive bay door slides out. Does that door still operate just as normal with a new drive or do I have to manually open it and disable it?
    Lastly, whats up with all the flashing stuff I hear also? Flashing bios i presume? Which is another area in computers I have little experience in.
    Any info would be great. Thanks!

    Quite a bit about it here
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1900760#1900760
    and more if you enter "111D" in the search box at top right of the forum.
    The main point with keeping the silver optical drive gate operating smoothly is to remove the plastic bezel with "DVD", "CD", etc. on it from the front of the tray.
    Sometimes the 'stand-offs' can be tricky, but there is some help here

    Flashing is mentioned in the first link above, but shouldn't be necessary - esp. if you combo up to 10.4.7

  • Blu-ray disc burned with Encore CS4 stops after each chapter instead of reading continuously

  • Pioneer DVR-111D Opinions?

    My current Samsung SH-W08A burner (flashed to latest 1S31 firmware from Samsung site) will not recognize Sony +R media (hub says the disc is Ver 1.3 1x-16x) so looks like I need to buy a different drive to work with "modern" media
    Last computer had an older (-R only) Pioneer (I think it was either an A5 or A5 model) and it worked well
    Has anyone had experience with the Pioneer 111 and 16x media? I don't plan to actually burn at 16x but it would be really nice to have a drive that will even USE the current blank discs!

    We have been using nothing but Pioneer since the A04 (DVR-104 is the OEM version of the same drive, as with all Pioneer drives)
    We currently have the 107D, 109, 110, 111 and also still an older 105.
    The drives that are High Speed capable we just don;t use at 16x, as we never burn faster than 4x for anything (What's the rush!)

  • Can't burn on a Pioneer DVR-104

    Hello everybody,
    Trying to fix friends iMac G4 using 10.1.5.
    So old I can't remember what the fixes were way back when...
    His Drive is a Pioneer DVR-104
    Tried a DVD-R Fuji "up to 8x" speed but the Computer locks up.
    Found the Superdrive update so that the drive can burn faster speed disks but was their a firmware update to do as well before this Superdrive update or can I just do the Superdrive update.
    I believe you control the burn speed via itunes prefs ?
    Thanks,
    Al

    Hi Al, could you let us know what you did to get it going? (so we can all benefit from your experience... ). 
    Also remember to mark this question as answered.
    As a Level 3 (in fact L2 and above) you have the option to Report this post. I've asked the Mods to delete a post I fluffed up once through that method and they obliged very quickly. To be honest there is no need to in this case.

  • How do I playback a BD-R disc burned with FCP X?

    I burned a BD-R disc with Final Cut Pro X from the "share" command.  Everything looks like it worked.  The burner/player is a Samsung SE-506AB/TSBD (a portable burner with a USB plug.)  I'm receiving an "unable to open file" from the Quicktime player app.  The directory in Finder shows the BD file as AVCHD content.  Do I need a separate app?  If so, which is it?  Thanks.

    This article has useful info and a link to a player.

  • Removing door on Pioneer DVR-111d

    Just purchased a new DVR-111D drive for my Power Mac and have been trying to remove the tray door without breaking anything. I've read to just "slide it off". Which direction does it slide? Are there any clips holding it on that need to be released? Other suggestions?
    Thanks for the help.

    Never mind. I found you push out on the bottom slightly (about 1" in from each end) and then slide the door cover up. Just couldn't see the 2 little clips with it being all black. On to the next step in the morning. Terry

  • Disk Utility not recognising Pioneer DVR-111D

    I retrofitted this drive into my G4. I'm new to iDVD but have problems.
    iDVD does not recognise this drive and keeps opening the original (CD only burning) drive and I can see no way to get it to open the Pioneer drive
    iMovie was quite happy to save my movie project to a DVD using this drive.
    Disk Utility sees both drives but when I put in a new DVD disc (I've tried several) it doesn't even spin the drive up and so I can't burn a disk image saved by iDVD.
    Any suggestions? Thanks

    Do you have the MDD?
    Did you use Cable Select for both? I assume you have both optical drives on same IDE bus.
    End position needs to be master jumper and the middle needs to use slave jumper setting. or both need to use CS,

  • Disc burned with iDVD will not play in DVD player only on MAC

    I used iMovie to create a movie and then shared it with iDVD. I successfully burned the DVD through iDVD but it will not play on my DVD player. It plays fine on the iMac. It is in UDF format. After reading through posts, I saved the file as a disk image and then burned through Disk Utility. This plays fine but I would really rather burn the disc directly from iDVD. Any ideas why the DVD player says "This type of disc cannot be played"?

    Media quality affects the burn errors on a disc. Computer players tend to have better error correction (to preserve digital data) - set-top DVD players tend to have poorer error correction since the are designed to play commercial, stamped DVDs with low error rates.

  • Disc Burns With Wrong Title

    I trying to burn a disc of just this one song, but every time I do, it Labels the disc with Blue Oyster Cult! I'm not burning a Blue Oyster Cult song at all. This has been happening when I just burn one song for a while now and I'm at my wits end. Any ideas?

  • Discs burned with toast or finder fail to be recognized in PC

    All the discs I have burned recently fail to open in PC - they are recognized by the Windows XP machine as blank CDs only.
    Using Toast Titanium 6.1.1, tried various settings including iso 9660
    Same problem with DVD-Rs on PCs as well. Will not play in Windows media player...
    Help appreciated!

    I'm getting a bit confused as to what is going on and what you wish to accomplish. You want to run DW and repair files on the external drive? If that is the case, simply install DW on your internal and run it from there on the external.
    Depending on the DW version, several of them have not been a bootable option or, if they actually were, not really usable as there was no easy way to reboot from your internal after having used DW.
    Another way to use it is to install it and then make a fully bootable clone on an external drive/partition; you can then boot from that and run DW on the internal (or any other drive you may have).
