Pavilion g6-1d48dx DVD-RW Slowness

Read/Write is extremely slow with the DVD drive. Ripping aCD with iTunes only achieves 2.6x speed. Writing System Image discs took 20 minutes per disc. Any way to increase the speed?

For step 2, as a result it say Media in CD/DVD drive is not readable (hp DVD-RAM UJ8B1 SATA CdRom Device) not fixed. Eveything else listed was "fixed:
Im a little unsure about steps 3 and 5 as i have never really understood what it means for me to run as an administrator, and what the password this is.
Im sort of working on the first part of step 4, not entirly sure what i need to do.
Im not very technical

Pavilion dv7-1232nr dvd rw drive doesn't recognize some dvds how can I fix this problem?

My pavilion dv7-1232nr dvd rw drive doesn't recognize some dvds how can I fix this problem? I am running Win 7 home premium 64 bit.

If these are new original DVD, you should bring your system in for alignment. If they are copied DVDs, the drive that made them may be out of alignment and your good drive can't read the bad copy. There is also another issue you may be talking about. Many DVD movies are assigned a country code and will not run on a machine from another country. This was intended to prevent piracy.

HP Pavilion DV7 2206TX - DVD drive reads DVDs but not CD's

My HP Pavilion DV7 2206TX - DVD drive reads DVDs but not CD's.
When I insert a CD, the drive tries very hard to read the CD but gives up after about a minute.
I get no error message. I do not see the Auto play message.
Windows Explorer does not recognize the DVD drive.
When I insert a DVD, I get the Autoplay menu, Windows Explorer recognize the drive and the DVD. I can play the DVD using any number of Video players.
I would welcome advice relating this problem.

your HP Pavilion needs a new DVD driver. I ran into many problems such as this when troubleshooting computers in school.
A DVD drive should play CD at any time: While a CD driver will not play a DVD disc. Do not think there is a problem with sofware because it will only throw your troubleshooting skills out the window and it will confuse you.

Multiple issues on '09 MacBook Pro- battery, DVD drive, slowness, browsers

I have a mid '09 MacBook Pro 2.53GHZ, 4GB RAM, running OS 10.5.8.
Recently, it's begun exhibiting random bad behavior, starting with slow behavior in Finder processes and, especially, very slow behavior and crashing in multiple apps, especially browsers (or maybe i just notice it there more because i use them the most). Then, all of a sudden the battery, which previously was fine and held a good charge, showed as Not Charging. I still have Applecare and called them, and they had me reset the power manager, which restored the battery to charging, but now it runs out quickly and often has strange readings, such as saying it has 6 minutes of charge when it also reads as 99% charged. The readings often have nothing to do with the actual state of the battery.
It's also suddently running a lot hotter and the fan is turning on more often, tho some of that may be that i now have both Google Chrome and Safari running at all times (i switch between them depending on which isn't hanging at any given time- both will crash with crashes of basic plug-ins, or simple non-responding, even tho Chrome is a newly installed app)
In case of system corruption, i decided it was a good time to upgrade to OS 10.6, which i simply hadn't gotten around to (a 10.6 disk came bundled along with with the original 10.5 disks with the Macbook when i bought it in late '09, probably an upgrade, it was right when they were switching over)... but i discovered that now DVDs won't mount either... so i can't install, reinstall, or even run diagnostics.
In disk utility booted from the internal drive, hard drive "verifies" fine and permissions are fine.
I've got a genius bar appointment the next time i go to city with the nearest Apple store- 120 miles away-
but any suggestions or ideas meanwhile?
the hardware issues- DVD drive, power, battery- make me wonder about the logic board's health.
Or could this still all be from OS or hard drive corruption?
And can i boot the Macbook from its Time Machine backup, which is on a firewire external drive, in order to run diagnostics? Not familiar with what Time Machine can and can't do. Otherwise, maybe i can borrow another mac to install OS from DVD to an open partition that's on the firewire hard drive and try to boot/run diagnostics from that (?). If i do that, should i do it with OS 10.5 (what it shipped with, and is currently running) or is it ok to do it with OS 10.6?
I'm also going to try to run in alternate user account to see if the browser etc crashes are as bad (i did try it briefly and found it still slow, tho not so badly).

Have you tried a SMC reset? Do a google search for more info.

10.5 upgrade has made my mac and most programs/dvd/ video slow

i just upgraded from 10.3.9 so i could use a new external HD. So far, it has been slow in all departments (wifi signal is lower than its ever been, programs, downloads, general navigation etc). Games are warpy, DVDs either wont work or if they work they are very warpy/skip frames. Overall my mac with 10.3.9 did very well in all departments, but since upgrading it has been no where near its previous speed and capibility.
Things i've done so far....
I've run DU many times but system still says its ok. Repaired permissions (which takes forever). Reinstalled 10.5 and archive and installed-nothing. Downloaded all updates available. Reset PRAM.
Should i erase HD and install 10.5 fresh? Does running DU from leopard DVD make a difference? Anything else?
help!

HP Pavilion DV5 1235DX - DVD/CDRW Not Working

Recently the DVD/CDRW drive in my HP Pavilion has stopped working. This is the original drive that came with the laptop which is a LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support. It has had a couple of problems in the past that like the system ceasing to recognize it or not being able to open the drive that I was able to fix myself. However, now the drive won't read or recognize discs. The Computer recognizes the drive, lists it as operable, and all drivers are up to date. When I insert a DVD/CD there are no sounds or lights to indicate that it is trying to read a disc. Also, I can only open the drive either mechanically or through the Device Manager by clicking on "scan for hardware changes." It will no longer open any other way.
Is this something that I can fix? or does this indicate that the drive is dead and needs to be replaced? If so, I've had a little trouble identifying a replacement model on the HP website for PartSurfer and could use a suggestion. Also, if anyone is familiar with the issue i've been having as described above and is aware of a solution I'll be happy to try this first. Thanks!

CD/DVD burning SLOW

Hi,
I have this problem with my Asus A6JC laptop. It's CD/DVD burner is really, really slow. I mean, it says it can write 24x CD speed (4234kb/s) but it usually does at about 10x using k3b. It says it can do 8x DVD (11080 kB/s) but its doing at about but it's at it's best at around 0.9x
I've found this information in k3b faq http://k3b.plainblack.com/faq, but it didn't help as I have DMA enabled (both according to hdparm and dmesg output).
If I run cdrecord dev=/dev/hdb -prcap I get all the nice information about the device capabilities. Check this out:

I have the same problem, plus i can assert that EVEN the usb burner il slow and the system seems slowed itself (like as having dma disabled).

DVD player slow to load

My brand new iMac loads DVDs and CDs really, really, slow? Any advice?

iMac
27-inch, Mid 2010
Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB
Software OS X 10.8.1 (12B19)
When I insert the DVD normally it grabs it and loads. When I did it this morning it did not do anything.
Tried eject tab, restarted, unplugged power and restarted again and shut down for 1 hour.

Quicktime, DVD Player slow and stuttering..everything else also slow

I just upgraded to Leopard on a 17" G4. Everything is slower, but especially Quicktime and DVD. A movie's sound is OK, but the video sputters and stalls. Called Apple - they had me trash all the various preferences and start over - no change. I did an archive and reinstall - also to no effect. However,I created a brand new user and Quicktime works fine in this user (playing a movie from an external drive).
Any ideas? My job has me displaying QT movies all the time. How can I stop pulling out my hair in anguish? I have cache 512 Kb, memory 1 GB, and about 5 Gigs available (install took about 11 Gigs). Is it a memory problem?
Thanks.
Carl

I had the same problem on my 17" G4 right after my Leopard upgrade, but it eventually went away all by itself.
Try this. Open a Quicktime movie but do NOT play it. Wait a minute. Now start playing it. If your system acts like mine the movie will now play without stuttering -- even in full screen. Whereas if you start playing it immediately it will stutter. That "minute" is not hard and fast. It just takes some time for something to happen in the background AFTER the file is open and BEFORE you start playing it to get smooth playback.
I've not idea what's going on here. It may be related to Spotlight indexing, or something else. All I can say is after a day or two I stopped seeing any stuttering even for files that I began to Play immediately upon opening.

Satellite 1800 plays DVDs very slow

My Satellite S1800 is very slow, when trying to watch dvd movies, picture and voice stucks and when watching videos from youtube, its same thing.
I just formatted my hard drive and re-installed winxp and thought that would help , but no , its still same thing.
What is the problem? My toshibas specs: 1Ghz , 256 ram , 8mb trident cyberblade ai1, 20gb, i think those should roll some dvd movie?

First, I wanted to answer with a detailed reasons of this, but this forum did NOT allowed me to post my "polite and helpful" message due to spelling mistakes even there wasn't any. Then it allowed me to post without spelling checking. (did not understand, weird)
The answer of your problem is because of excessive cpu usage which i had on my similar S1800-100 while watching any MPEG-2 video or youtube video.
I don't know why the DVD drive was insertings into this notebook, maybe for data transfer or other viewing, the fact that your CPU is not strong enough to render DVD movies, it should be the reason.
Please check your CPU usage while watching videos.

DVD Drive slow all of a sudden?

Hey guys, I noticed the other day when I went to install Windows 7 64 Bit (burnt from an ISO I had, it was legally obtained through a progarm at my school) on my MBP (after installing 8GB of RAM) that it took forever to load the installer, today I went to install a program on a CD (Not burnt) in Windows and I double clicked the disk, and it never came open, then when I ejected the disk, the installer came up, but of course I couldn't proceed due to the disk being out. So I booted into Snow Leopard and put the same disk in, this time I was able to view it in Finder, so I stuck a USB drive in and copied the contents (600MB) over to the USB Stick, and it took about 10 minutes, which seems like a lot, and the drive never spun up super fast, just kinda spun average speed. It takes forever to boot off of any CD/DVD besides the OS X DVD (that includes Windows 7 Pro x86, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, and Ubuntu 11.04 64 Bit.) is it possible that my drive is on it's way out? I have Applecare so if it is i'm not too worried (granted I do have to drive 30 miles to the nearest store) or is it possible there is a firmware issue that is messing with the disk drive? Thanks!

Booting from CD/DVD always takes some time.
How about trying to copy an MP3 CD onto your HDD & see how long it takes to perhaps rule out the DVD drive being defective?

Hi John,
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand DVD/CD-ROM Drives, right click the drive and select Uninstall - when this has completed, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load for a couple of minutes before checking if it's now listed correctly.

Hp pavilion g6 laptop dvd drive issues

I have an hp g6-1c77nr laptop that is less than a year old and has been working fine until today. Suddenly my dvd drive isnt registering discs in the drive. I tried multiple discs, unistalling the drivers then reinstalling the drivers, checking for an update on the drivers, i even unistall the disc drive and reinstalled it. I've run through all of the self-helps from the support page and nothing is working. Can anyone tell me what this could be? is my drive out? if its under a year is that still under the warranty with hp?

Hi,
The following procedure will test if your notebook can start from a bootable disc in the CD/DVD drive - the advantage of trying this is that it will rule out any possible Windows driver error as the CD/DVD drive is under the control of the Bios when starting the notebook. So if you find that the notebook will not boot from the CD or DVD, then it's almost certainly a Hardware fault in the optical drive itself and it will need to be replaced.
Using another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD and DVD. Download the relevant ISO from the link below.
Windows 7 32bit
Windows 7 64bit
You need use an application such as ImgBurn to correctly burn the ISO to a CD and then also burn it to a DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. Once created, insert the CD and then restart the notebook and see if it boots from this disc - if it does, let the first screen come up ( this will show repair options etc ) then just remove the CD, insert the DVD and restart the notebook again to see if it will also boot from this disc. If the notebook will not boot from the CD, it may just load straight into Windows, in which case, just remove the CD, insert the DVD and restart to see if it will boot from this disc.
If neither disc will boot and as your notebook should still be under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can always check your warranty status Here.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
