No image appears for dvd player.

When I insert a dvd into the player it starts and gives no indication that anything is wrong. Sound seems to work in what appears to be the appropriate times however no image appears on the screen...how would I fix this?

If no DVD image content playing on the screen try changing Graphic cards

Also if you are running 10.6.8 try rebooting into 32 bit kernel.

  • When images appear for a search in safari, you must continually scroll by finger to keep the images loading. Is this a bug?

    When images appear for a search in safari, you must continually scroll by finger to keep the images loading. Is this a bug?

    Tried that but no change. Details - open up safari and go to yahoo - for the main search at the top, I put in Bears. It shows pages of thumbnail pics. tapping once on a thumbnail gets you that image and then tap again to get added info. At that point, it fills the screen. But in  order to see more info I have to drag a finger upward to reveal more of the details. I then have to continually do that in order to reveal more details for the searched item. It then pops up to the top each time and repeating that process many times in order to see more of the image data. Don't know how to fix this.
    Thanks

  • ONLY SMALL IMAGE - in OS DVD PLAYER WINDOW

    Hi
    WHEN I USE THE OS dvd player sometimes it only is playing the
    dvd back as a small window with a big black boarder .
    If i check this by playing the dvd on my stand-alone dvd player/tv this does not happen.
    Could someone explain how i can change this re- occuring situation when playing dvds on my mac, so i can watch the film at full window pane size ?
    Thanks for your time.

    didier:
    I don't do much with DVDs on my mac, however I just popped one in and played with the controls. I find that Command + 3 gives a large image. Command + 0 toggles between full screen and smaller screen (as in View menu.
    Failing that my next guess will be to try the Preferences. Go to Home > Library > Preferences. Locate com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist and drag it to the desktop for now. Restart your computer. It will create a new preference file. Try your DVD and see how it works. If it is OK, go ahead and trash the preference on the desktop.
    Post back with your progress.
    Good luck.

  • Can you 'force" change aspect ratio for DVD player 4.0?

    Hi,
    I have burnt a dvd-r from my pioneer hdd/dvd recorder (630H). The program is in 16:9 ratio but plays at 4:3 on my powerbook dvd player 4. (All other dvd-r burnt via other burners appear OK however - so I guess this is something peculiar to the Pioneer) Why is this?. Question is: is there any way to "force" the apple dvd player to change aspect ratios? Thanks for any assistance.

    I've got about 20 video tracks and one audio track all laid out and I've decided I'd like to insert something before the audio track so if I move the audio track everything else will be off.  Is there a way to shift all the video tracks and the audio track over to the right to make room for the inserted video?

  • Imaging from external DVD player or an external usb hard drive

    Hey,
    At the High School i work at we are running Netware 6.0 SP5 and Zenworks
    4.01 ir6. We have Zen Partitions installed on most computers to store a
    local image in case the the computer needs to be re-imaged.
    However, we have a dilemma. Every now and then a hard drive will go in a
    computer.
    When we replace the hard drive with a new one, we install the Zen
    Partition, do the config and then our last step is to bring down an image.
    Unfortunately our only means of dropping down an image is from the network
    either through normal imaging or through multicast sessions.
    When we drop an image down from the network which takes up network
    bandwidth, it causes slow downs on the users computers and they start
    complaining. Our network is running at 100mb.
    Is there any way possible to image from an external DVD player or an
    external usb hard drive when dropping down an image to a new hard drive in
    the computer? Currently I have all my Zen Images on the external USB
    Maxtor 160gb hard drive and I also have Zen Images burnt to DVD's.
    If so, how do I go about doing this and is there documents on doing this?
    Thanks!!!

  • IDVD selectively won't recognize .mp4 format - how to burn for dvd player?

    Hi -
    I'm trying to burn a .mp4 movie for my gf's family so they can watch it on their TV instead of my tiny comp. After trying DiskUtility and iTunes (both to no avail, DU wouldn't even allow me to select a .mp4 format to burn on the DVD; iTunes burnt the movie, but it doesn't play on the DVD player ...). I thought I'd try iDVD, but it won't recognize the movie I'd like to burn - says the format is unrecognized. Tried with another movie, same format (.mp4) and it worked just fine.
    I'm really at a loss - I didn't expect it would be so difficult to burn a DVD! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Rax

    Alright, my results correspond with Russ' hypothesis: both videos I tried are in the same format & at the same FPS, the only difference b/w them is the audio. The one that worked is Stereo (L R), the one that does not is the 5.1.
    Unfortunately, I do not have Quick Time Pro, I just have QTP 10.1 that came w/ Lion (& an older version that I added b/c it allows playback speed control). Here, the export options are:
    480p
    720p
    iPod touch & iPhone 3GS
    iPad, iPhone 4 & Apple TV
    Audio only
    None of these were an obvious choice to me, any suggestions? I've heard something about "Toast", would this be an easier / better option?
    Thank you for on-going help. Very much appreicated.
    Kind regards,
    Rax

  • Firewire DV video output for DVD player?

    Hi everyone,
    I am just wondering, does anyone know of any way to get the DVD player program to output NTSC DV via firewire like FCP allows for external monitors?
    I would love a way to test my dvds without having to waste so many discs... Any suggestions?
    -patrick

    What is outputting DVD Player's signal to external monitor going to achieve?
    The failure of DVDs burned is due either to the media used (the quality of DVD), the bit-rate settings used or more generally, the DVDSP workflow (you are burning via DVDSP and/or Compressor aren't you?) or the DVD player that the discs are being played on. (Different models cope with different variables, bit rates , brand of DVD used, how old the player is, whether the lens has been cleaned last - if at all...)
    If it's a DVD burning issue, describe your workflow and post in the the relevant forum.
    P.S. If I've misunderstood the question, please ignore the above...

  • Burning DVD for DVD Player and Computer

    Hi everybody.
    I thought that I saw this somewhere here, but after looking for it for the past 1 1/2 hours (Unsuccessfully I might add , I thought that I would just ask.
    When I burn a project to a DVD using Quicktime and iDVD, I can view it on a DVD player and on my Apple computers, but not on a windows based machine. Can I burn a DVD that will play on any computer? How?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Brian

    Could well be a +R issue. The player must be able to read +R.
    -R is the most universal and should play on just about any DVD machine.
    I noticed that the older the machine the more things things can go wrong for no apparent reason. Later model stuff play just about anything even +R, dual layer, RAM etc. Always check the player specs if you have them.

  • Looking for DVD player that will repeat a segment (loop) and slow motion

    I have iDVD and the DVD player in Snow Leopard, but want to be able to play a dvd in step-by-step frame, and also (especially) to loop round smaller segments. I use it for dance video, and need to see dance moves over and over without necessarily playing the whole segment. Is there any software I can buy/install to do this? Like Cyberlink for Mac? Thanks.

    I searched for a DVD player with a jog shuttle -- and you're right. They're all but impossible to find! I havent' found one made in the past 5 years!
    I don't know of any way you could accomplish the same thing with software either.
    Most DVD players have slow-motion and frame-by-frame features. (Even my cheap $40 Toshiba.) That may be the closest to it.

  • Program Remote for DVD Player

    I have been trying to program my remote to use with my DVD player. When I get to the screen where it asks me to select the brand of my DVD player (and then get the codes associated with that brand), my particular brand is not listed. Can someone please tell me what to do, if anything?

    If you have the four-button remote, try this process.  (It's from the instructions for programming when the codes in the book don't work.)
    "If none of the codes worked, try the following procedure. (As before, we will use the example of a DVD player. For other devices, use the appropriate Device Key instead of the DVD key, in steps 2 and 3.)
    1. Turn on your DVD player.
    2. Press and hold the DVD player key.
    3. While holding down the DVD key, press the OK key.
    4. Release both keys. The Device Keys will blink twice.
    5. Press 9 - 2 - 2.
    6. Point the remote at the DVD player.
    7. Press .
    8. Press . Every time you press , the remote sends out a new
    power-off command to the DVD player. Keep pressing until the DVD player turns
    off. (You can press to go back.)
    9. When the DVDturns off, you have found the right code. Press OK to
    store this code."

  • Mini solo or Harmon Kardon for DVD player

    I own a Harmon Kardon DVD22 and a Mini Solo with the Intel GMA950 graphics card.
    Here is the link to the Harmon specs:
    http://www.harmankardon.com/specifications.aspx?cat=DVD&ser=&prod=DVD%2022&sType =H
    Here is the link to the GMA950 specs:
    http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma950/index.htm
    They are both hooked up to a Infocus 4800 with a 1024x768 max resolution.
    Maybe someone can help me compare the specs.
    *My questions are:*
    *1. Do I even need the Harmon anymore?*
    *2. Does the Mini play the DVD at the same or better quality*

    According to:
    http://myhometheater.homestead.com/viewingdistancecalculator.html
    With my 72" width screen and my 10' viewing distance, I should be able to discern 1920x1080.
    My projector maxes out at 1024x768.
    The mini maxes out at 2048x1536
    So like Andy0 said the TV or in my case projector is the limiting factor, not the mini as a DVD player.
    I guess my next step is to upgrade to a 1080 projector.
    As for ease of use, the mini is awesome. One stick on gum sized remote to control video, music, photos, podcasts. AND my wife doesn't have to deal with the intimidating 60 button Harmon Kardon remote.

  • Burning Iphoto Slideshow for DVD player

    When I burn a slide show to a DVD my DVD player says invalid format....what am I doing wrong?

    The correct way is to go Share -> Send to iDVD, and then complete the disk in that app. My guess is that you exported the slideshow (hence getting the option to compress to mpeg4 - this doesn't happen when you use the Share -> Send to iDVD command). The Share -> Burn option is not available for slideshows.

  • Region code for DVD player

    When I was visiting another country on vacation I watched a movie and guess it was the 5th time of me changing my region code. So appaently it is now permanent and I can no longer watch dvd's on my mac, import cd's or install software. How can i change my region code back to canada?
    Please help asap!

    cambridge2020:
    Be sure to type accurately when asking about "DVD player". We don't always know if you mean DVD drive or Apple's "DVD Player.app" software.
    Region code data is changed both in the firmware of some DVD drive hardware, in the base UNIX operating system software, and in the "DVD Player.app" software. For a particular drive, if it has region code protection firmware (those sold in the white market in countries that comply with the motion picture industry "suggestion"), will become locked for DVD region coded disc playback after 4 changes (5 code uses). Even if you have a region-free DVD drive as I do, the OS and "DVD Player.app" will stop allowing you to play region-coded DVD movie discs. You can (and I have) overcome this in several ways. I won't elaborate because Apple may feel it their duty to censor my comments. I will go so far as to say an "Erase and Install" will reset the region tracking for everything but the drive firmware.

  • Burning a DVD from Final Cut Pro X for DVD player

    I created my video in Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I then exported it by "Share" to "DVD" and burned it to a Sony VDV+R disc. I needed 6 copies. Some worked when I put it in the DVD player to show on our TV and others said "Can't read disc" even though I followed the same process. What am I doing wrong and how can I export a video to a DVD to show on TV via a projector or DVD player. I am on a MAC OS X (10.9.2)

    Ditto to Gary's comment.
