Pioneer DVD Writer Model DVR107D notification Internal hardware error

I have a power PC TigerOS 10.4.11 and I have an onboard Pioneer DVD writer model DVR107D. I am having a problem with notification saying that there is an internal hardware error right at the end of the writing and verification doesn't occur. I have looked for firmware update on Pioneer website, but cannot find for a Mac. I wonder whether an update to apple software has caused this problem? Is there any advice regarding this issue?

Hi-
I doubt that a software update is the issue given the OS version that you are running.
It could be a laser issue, either due to age or dirt.
It may also be a media compatibility issue, in which a firmware update would help.
Use the tools on this page for the DVR-107:

Wondering if my dvd writer is the good one

I got a Presario SR1234nx desktop and it's indicate that in it there's a DVD writer Lite-on dvddrw sohw 832S double layer but on my computer it doesn't accept 8.5 GB. Is there a manner to find if I've got a really lite-on drive without opening my computer, or is there a trouble with windows XP or the drive itself.
Is there someone to help me?
thanks

Click on Start and then Control Panel.
Click on the Performance and Maintenance link.
Note: If you're viewing the Classic View of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simple double-click on the System icon and proceed to Step 4.
In the Performance and Maintenance window, click on the System icon near the bottom of the window.
In the System Properties window, click on the Hardware tab.
With the Hardware tab selected, click on the Device Manager button.
Then look for DVD/CD ROM Drives and click on the plus sign. That will show you what DVD writer model you have insalled.

DVD Writer not available under Limited User account

Hi
In one of our computers, with Encore CS3 installed and a Pioneer DVD Writer (with functional ASPI layer), I have the following problem :
If I try to export a project to DVD burning, the writer is not available, but if I modify the account of the user to set it as an administrator, the writer appears on the DVD Export window.
Can you help me ?

I installed Nero Burning Rights to give rights to Everyone and changed writer drive letter to first available letter (writer + reader on the same computer) and it works !

New Macs can't power Samsung DVD writer SE-208

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and an iMac (both OS 10.10.1), and a Samsung protable DVD writer model SE-208. Whenever I plug the DVD writer into the USB port of either machine I get the message "USB devices disabled. Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices". This happens even if the DVD writer is the only device plugged into the computers.
Any suggestions?

You do not need to put the DVD in the chain to mirror your iPod to your TV. You merely need the Apple digital adapter and an HDMI cable. You connect the adapter to the iPad, one end of the HDMI cable to that adapter and the other to an HDMI input on your Grundig.
You cannot connect the DVD to the iPad.
You really need to look at Samsung's forum for help with your drive.
There is no UK version of the ASC.
Happy Christmas to you.

K7n2 Delta ILSR - DVD writer problem

Hi
My system is a AMD athlon 2600, 1Gb Crucial DDR 400 RAM, Tyan tacheon 9600 pro and a pioneer A106 DVD writer.
I have connected IDE1 to the hard drive and IDE 2 to the Pioneer DVD writer.
When
i) IDE 2 (DVD) is NOT connected the system boots up very quickly.
ii) IDE 2 is connected , the sytems start up time is a lot slower.
The DVD writer works then intermittently and sometimes doesnt even respond in explorer.
Anyone got any ideas on why this is?
Thanks
Shaz

got it jumpered right
using a modern 80 wire ide lead blue end in the board,not the older 40 wire ones

Recommendations, please, for external DVD writer for my 2006 iMac. (Internal drive unable to write coherently.)

Recommendations, please, for an external DVD writer for my 2006 iMac whose internal drive is writing unreadable discs.

Bus Speed:          667 MHz

Thanks, A Brody. Don't know what the PRAM battery is. Here are more details of the fault ... Although I've had the iMac for 5 years this may be the first time I've tried copying a video recording onto the DVD drive (I've made lots of CD copies without a problem). The folder and files all seem to be reproduced in identical order on the disc but my domestic DVD player cannot make sense of the recording, unlike the original source DVD from which the files originated. The drive has always been noisy but I've never assumed it shouldn't be! Does this fit your PRAM battery theory? If so, please explain more. Thanks.

How do I configure a Pioneer DVR-XD10 external dvd writer to my macbook pro laptop?

How do I configure a Pioneer DVR-XD10 external dvd writer to my macbook pro laptop?
I read online that you could use an external dvd writer on a macbook pro when the internal dvd writer died.
Please help?
It shows power running through the external dvd writer when I plug in the two usb ends into the respective ports, but it doesn't recognize it when I try to write media to a DVD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC

Replacing the internal DVD reader with a DVD Writer

Hey there, I have a G4 mac tower at home. I want to replace the DVD reader currently intalled with an internal DVD writer. Can I just go to Best Buy and purchase any internal DVD writer or is there something specific I need to look for?
Thanks

I would check the drive compatibility database at xlr8yourmac.com
some brand/model drives will not work as boot devices, and or will not play nice with iDVD.
However, it is quite likely that any Pioneeer drive will work w/o issue.

EMac optical drive: Reads but ceased writing. I get "Sense key=MEDIUM ERROR, Sense Code=0x0C, WRITE ERROR. Drive is Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-127D.

eMac optical drive: reads fine but has ceased writing. One day it's working fine, burning DVDs, then after repeated attempts stops copying and gives the following error message: "Sense key=MEDIUM ERROR, Sense Code=0x0C, WRITE ERROR". Drive is Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-127D. Is this a software issue or is the drive half dead? Get the same result with either Popcorn or Toast 10.

Are you using Roxio Toast? That error seems to be discussed a lot in the Roxio forums. Scroll down this thread:

and you'll find a step-by-step troubleshooting scheme.

DVD DL burn issues - internal target error - fake hardware errors

I am receiving an error from DVD studio pro 3 and Toast 6 when burning DVD DL. The error only appears when burning Memorex and Verbatim discs (so far) using these applications. HP branded DVD DLs burnt fine from the same applications. Aside from the obvious, using only the HPs, has any one found a solution to this problem.
My error code is ....Formatting failed: internal device reports hardware error:internal target error 0x440x00...
I have tested this on other macs in my office and can repeat the error, so it leaves me to believe it is not actually hardware, but more over, likely firmware and or software upgrades. All equipment is less than 16 months old, intel chipped... I need a fix for our travel edit laptop - a Mac book pro.
Another thing that makes me conclude it isn't actually a hardware issue, the same discs that won't burn in Toast or DVDsp3, burn just fine using the finder's burning capabilties.
Thanks!

its been a few days since I posted my problem- i'm not surprised there hasn't been any movement on this topic... seems to be the status quo for all topics about this DVD DL problem..
For those with a similar problem, I'll review my work around for the situation.
Here is the low down review of my problem:
• the matSHITa DVD-R(UJ-846) will not burn DVD DLs from Toast 6 or DVD studio pro 3.
• the Mac says internal hardware failure or sometimes a session error - see previous posts for code
My work around:
• export disc image from DVD studio pro
• burn image as DVD-ROM (UDF) WITH simulation mode checked.
• worked for Memorex 8x DVD+R DLs, Verbatim 8x DVD+R DLs not at 8x speed, used 2x setting.
It takes a longer time for this route but has work consistently on about 15 DVD burns so far... I'll post again if this fails or stops working.
Again that is an intel chipped Mac Book Pro and iMac with the matSHITa DVD burner. Yes I capitalized that 4 letter segment on purpose.

DVD Writer PIONEER 115BB - Compatibility

Looking to install a DVD burner into my Mac.
A friend of mine is dumping an old PC which has a Pioneer DVD ROM 115BB in it.
I know the Pioneer 106 and the 111 runs in the mac
Will the Pioneer DVD ROM 115BB run on my machine please?
If so, what software is needed to run it please?
Thanks you guys!!
G4 Silver Mac OS X (10.3) Dual OS9 & OSX

Hi
I think the main difference is the read/write speeds.
The 106 writes CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, DVD+Rs and DVD+RWs at 16x, 10x, 4x, 2x, 4x and 2.4x respectively.
The 111 writes them at 40x, 32x, 16x, 6x, 16x and 8x respectively. It also supports dual layer discs, DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL, both at 8x.
I've installed a 111D under OS X 10.4/Tiger and it works out of the box with no additional software needed.
Under earlier versions of OS X such as 10.3 though, which don't support such a wide range of third party drives, you may need Patch Burn in order for the drive to be recognised by the iApps (iTunes, iDVD etc):

Help - Grey Screen & Apple Logo aft fixing internal DVD Writer

My DVD writer started to play up a few months ago and eventually stopped reading any discs. After routing around the various forums I had a go at fixing it by taking my Powerbook apart, removing the DVD writer and using an air cleaner and optical cloth cleaned the DVD writer out. Full of dust!
I put the DVD writer back leaving the top of the Powerbook loose and started it up. Excellent result, not only did it play a DVD film, but it burnt a disc which I could read in my aging Power Mac. RESULT!
I then preceded to screw it all back together. It went to the grey screen with the Apple Logo and spinning wheel. I have not been able to get it past this.
I have tried resetting the PMU & PRAM by removing the Power and battery and holding the power switch on for 5 secs.
I have tied to restart and then hold down Command-Option-P-R, wait for third chime and release and press the shift screen. But it stays on the grey screen/Apple Logo.
I did get it to go to a blue screen once but it won't go further.
I have tried to pop in Techtool Pro Disc 4.5.1 and Disk Warrior but the DVD writer just spits these out again.
I have taken it apart again to check that all my connections are OK and they do seem OK. I don't understand how I could get it to play/burn and then it goes all awry only after I screw the keyboard back.
Anybody got any ideas short of taking it in for repair!

I would just get it repaired.
