Pioneer DVR 111-D

I made a mistake and ordered a "111" instead of a "110." Does anybody know if a "111" is compatible with a Mac G4?

OK, figured it out! After trying every possible jumper setting, as well as different power cables (I must have rebooted a dozen times!), my problem was a damaged IDE cable =S It was crimped by a rivit near the door hinge. Once I freed it and massaged the crimp out, all is well. I didn't have to take the faceplate off, and it fits and ejects find from my machine (2-door quicksilver). I ran PatchBurn, though Toast seemed good to go without it (I don't use iTunes or anything else to burn from this system- for crunching Photoshop only).
I left the jumper on the far left, as it was from the factory. Evidently Pioneer counts their jumpers from right to left 1-5.

Mitsubishi DVD-R DL video CPRM disks rejected by iDVD6 with Pioneer DVR-111

As the title says, iDVD6 rejects my Mistubishi DVD-R DL CPRM discs.
I am trying to burn a 7.5 gig video project. iDVD says "Can't burn to single layer disc" after insertion. I have a new Pioneer DVR-111 in a DP 2Ghz G5 3gig RAM.
CPRM seems to be the culprit.
Any ideas, suggestions welcome.

'CPRM' was Pioneers attempt to put copy protection on writable media. It stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media. You will see a serial number code in the silver ring closest to the center that is used in CPRM.
None of the other manufacturers picked up on CPRM and I though it was dead. It shouldn't interfer with normal use of the media.
In general on the forum, although we recommend DVD-R for single-layer discs, we recommend DVD+R for double-layer discs.

Using two superdrives (nec 3550 & pioneer dvr 111)

hello all..i have installed 2 superdrives to replace 1 bad dvr 105. i could not get both working, so i just plugged in the pioneer (in the top spot) and all works. now, how do i plug in or set up the 2nd drive so they both work. all i see is the power and ribbon plug. thanks inadvance.

Hi
Typically, new drives are set to "Master" (jumper block on left rear of drive casing).
Change both to "CS".
Remove drive tray faceplate from both drives.

Pioneer model DVR-111 BK is compatible inside the Power Mac G4

Hi,
currently I am working with Power Mac G4 (dual processor) and Mac OS X v10.3.3 as operating system. I would like to know if the DVD writer Pioneer model DVR-111 BK is compatible inside the Power Mac G4.
I wait for your kind answer and best regards.

Hi, Manuele, and welcome to the Discussions!
The DVR-111 is a highly-compatible drive. Like with most non-Apple supplied burners, to enable burn support and use the burn capabilties of Apple's iLife applications using OS X 10.3.x, you'll need to downoad and install Patchburn 3.

Question for Mac Pro owners w/Pioneer DVR-112D superdrive: what firmware?

For those whose Mac Pro came pre-installed with the Pioneer DVR-112D superdrive, what firmware revision is it running?
The reason I'm asking is that I have an aftermarket 112D, bought from OWC, that I purchased for it's rip/burn speed advantage over the pokey, possibly riplock crippled, Sony DW-150A that came with my Mac Pro. This advantage was indeed gained, but at the expense of living with some quirkiness with the drive, namely the "two-ejects required" problem discussed here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthre...highlight=112D
This quirkiness has gotten worse since the latest Mac Pro EFI firmware update on 09/27/07. Now if I'm watching a movie from a DVD in the 112D tray, any extended pause (and by extended I only mean more than a minute or so) causes an unrecoverable error in DVD Player and I'm forced to restart the DVD Player and restart the movie.
My suspicion is that this all has something to do with some (overzealous?) power management feature in Mac OS X that's not playing nice with the existing 112D firmware (I'd be interested in hearing any other plausible theories).
Currently, my 112D firmware is at revision 1.06. There a number of updated firmware revisions for the 112D circulating on the internet, PC centric, of course and mostly related to disabling region-locking etc.
I'd like to match my 112D firmware to whatever Mac Pro owners with a 'bona-fide' 112D enjoy, if it's publicly available somewhere.
Thanks.

My 112D is at version 1.21. Over the years I have successfully updated the firmware in my Pioneers using the Terminal app DVRFlash. But DVRFlash doesn't support the 112 or 111 series (yet). I wondered how you had updated to 1.22. I know it can be done by connecting to a PC, (which includes Bootcamp, but not Parallels) but I don't have ready access to a PC. At the moment I am waiting for Leopard before going Bootcamp way.
Any advice?

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.

New Pioneer DVR-110 installed, "patchburned", BUT drive won't stay closed.

Have had some good advice on how to intall a new DVD/CD drive, but after installing a New Pioneer DVR-110 (I thought succesfully) on my G4, and downloading Patchburn for Panther, the DVD drive now won't function as the computer keeps ejecting or opening the drive tray.
After installing the drive, I installed Patchburn, and Toast did recognize the drive. I then tried to verify disc permissions on the computer and it kept getting hung up during repair/verify saying it lost connection with the drive manager. Tried Onyx to repair/verify permissions and it too gets hung up. (Had to force quit)
Any advice on how to get the drawer of the DVD drive to stay closed and what else I need to do to get it working?... Alas I can not even reinstall my original OSX software now as I can't boot from the disc drive since it won't stay closed.
Thanks, Rob

You can verify the closeness by opening the empty drive door with the KB and then hold the door open and close drawer with the KB.

Help needed to track down Problem in tiger with Pioneer DVR-110D

ok as i stated in another topic i own a Beige G3 AIO that is running OS 9.2.2 and OS X 10.4.8 and i have done allot to this system to get it to run faster and to run properly.
part of this setup has a Pioneer DVR-110D it there and when i bought it i was running OS 9.2.2 only. at first i could not burn anything with it cause it wasn't supported and when i went to put the system to sleep it would freeze when i would wake it up it never did this before i installed the drive so i knew what was causing it.
i turned off HDD sleep and the problem was fixed. but i didn't like the ideal of having the hdd running all the time when idle. me and a friend was talking about optical drive issues and he said he found this driver replacement for the apple cd/dvd driver called intech speed tool's 6.0 for OS 9.2.2 and that i should give it a try cause it fixed a few problems for him.
i downloaded the demo of it and installed it and i turned on hdd sleep and put the system to sleep and woke it back up and the system was running great. so now the wake up freeze problem was cured. but still no burn support. so after a few weeks of posting on here about the problem some one came by and said he knew what the problem was and sent me a modded PioneerCDR authoring support extension. i installed it and rebooted and opened iTunes and iTunes showed Pioneer DVR-110D as the devise to burn to. so i tryed it and behold it burned a audio cd with no problems.
later i bought a western digital SE 120gb hdd and installed it and partitioned it 3 times a 8gb first partition for OS X a second partition 10gb for OS 9.2.2 and the 3rd partition was the rest of the drives size for shared data and storage. the hdd worked great with no issues so it was time to try OS X on this system cause i was waiting to get a large HDD to do so.
i figured that the Pioneer drive would not boot the OS X jaguar cd and is a known problem with non apple cd rom drives. so i took out the Pioneer and reinstalled the apple 24x stock cd rom drive. and the jag install cd booted without a hitch. Jag installed and was running so i updated to 10.2.8 and found out the internal screen kept going out and locking the system up. so i searched this forum for the onboard video blackout and came across the terminal work around to get the system to behave itself with having more than 192mb ram installed. i rebooted and all went fine afterward.
i reinstalled the Pioneer drive and went to testing it all was fine everything mounted on the desktop that i put in the drive. but i lacked the ability to burn with the drive cause still the drive wasn't supported be the system so i searched the forum and came across the program called patchburn. i downloaded it and ran it and patched the driver to support iApps burning with this drive. so i put in a blank cd and went to burn in iTunes it burned flawlessly so i tryed a dvd-r with the finder it to burned flawlessly.
o loved playing a game planeshift and then they stopped supporting 10.2.8 so i went to buy the tiger install cd's. i already knew the Beige G3 was not a supported version of Os X on this system and you had to use xpostfacto 4 to install tiger on this system. so i did what i had to do to install tiger on the system and selected use old NDRV and selected to install tiger. which installed some files to boot tiger and rebooted yet again the Pionner drive refused to boot the install cd's . i got mad and held down the command option power key's for about 10 seconds and let off. the tiger installer booted and got to where it started to copy the files to the hdd and stalled out and the drive spun down never to spin back up or show signs of life so i powered down the system and removed the pioneer drive and put the stock 24x cdrom in and installed tiger.
after tiger was installed i shut down the system and installed the pioneer drive. and powered back on and it was in verbose mode showing what was going on one part showed that the Pioneer drive was detected but had no kernel dependencies and continued to boot. i went to repair the permitions when the onboard video went blank and the system locked up. i rembered that 10.2.8 did the same thing so i tried the 10.2.8 screen blackout fix in 10.4 and rebooted. the onboard video didnt come on but since i had a ATI Radeon 7000 i could work around in tiger to update to 10.4.7 at the time. i first repaired permitions and then ran software update and updated everything and rebooted. the onboard video came back on allong with the ATI Radeon 7000 which being used as boot video device and shown the gray apple logo with the spinning pin wheel at the bottom.
so far tiger was running great so i put a disk in the drive and nothing it didn't mount anything so i ejected it with the button on front of the drive and tryed a dvd movie and got the same nothing as with the cd. so i rebooted with the dvd in the drive al behold tiger mounted the dvd but as soon as i would try to do anything with it the drive would stop and i would have to reboot the system to gain the drive back so i can repair permissions. and never tryed to use the drive again
10.4.8 update came out i updated to it using software update and rebooted. the update went flawless so i thought to myself what if the pioneer drive worked now. so i put a cd in the drive and it mounted the disk. then i ejected it with amazement and put a dvd in and it to mounted. so i tryed to play the dvd and it played the dvd to the end of the movie. i took out the dvd and rebooted. i tryed to put the dvd back in but it didnt mount. which ****** me off as to why it was just working and now its not.
i rebooted and the dvd mounted as soon as the desktop showed up so i tried to play it but this time it only played for about 10-13 minutes before the drive stopped spinning which made dvd player stop responding which made me have to force quit the dvd player and try to restart which gave me a kernel panic. so i forced restarted (got a forum to send to apple to report the KP so i did) and the dvd mounted once again as soon as the desktop showed so i ejected the dvd and put a audio cd in and it mounted and i played the hole cd. so i ejected that and put a blank cd in and treed to burn and it got to 30% and then the drive spun down and made the disk utility stop responding. so i forced quit disk utility and rebooted. once it rebooted nothing popped up so i pressed the eject button on the drive and the cd r came out.
the OS X 10.4.8 update made the drive more stable but still wont burn anything. some times it will still not mount anything, some time it will not play anything, and still fails to copy files over to the hdd. so now im left to believe its a driver issue some where since this drive worked so flawlessly in jaguar and OS 9 but fails to work properly in tiger.
i looked in the extensions in ASP in 10.4.8 and there is a few extensions showing errors. i made a list of them to show

that is the list of extensions that are reporting some sort of errors. at first i was figuring it was a problem with the driver for the Pioneer drive but my friend brought over his digital audio G4 which was also running 10.4.8. and we decided to try the drive in his Mac to see if there was any problems. it mounted everything we threw in it. it played dvd's great and played audio cd's great, it copied files over to the hdd without fail. it even burned a flawless cd. ok now the ideal of the driver for the drive was thrown out the window. so it has to be something else causing the problem. either a driver for a part on the motherboard or what i have no clue.
im just wondering what driver it would be causing a problem not allowing the Pioneer drive to work properly. cause its not the drive being bad cause it worked flawlessly in OS 9.2.2 and jaguar and in tiger in my friends digital audio G4
im just wondering if anyone might know what could be done to fix this problem cause i know it can be fixed but i don't know where to begin or how. so i ask you how could i begin to fix this
thank you all for baring with me and reading all this. i know i wrote allot but i had to explain what was going on before i could ask for help so you could better understand what was going on. i have already updated the firmware to the latest with no change the firmware use to be the old 1.11

yea i have along time ago and also made a update to xlr8's drive database. cause i fixed the problems with the drive in OS 9.2.2 (AKA no burn support with the built in burning app or iTunes, now have full support for burning with the finder burn and iTunes thanks to a edited PioneerCDR authoring support extension that someone edited for me. found out that the Apple CD/DVD driver extension was at fault for the locking up on wake up with hdd sleep enabled that started when i installed the Pioneer drive. fixed with intech CD/DVD speedtools 6.0).
When i did the first report on the drive database on xlr8yourmac i reported what problems i was having in OS 9.2.2 and i think i reported that i had no problems in jaguar, and was trying to obtain a driver or something to try to get it to work. but to no avail at first. after i fixed the problems i did a update report
in jaguar the drive had no problems but no burn support. installed patchburn and the drive worked 100% in jag no problems what so ever. im thinking it has somthing to do with one or all of the extensions with errors but i can be wrong.
i just wonder where ryan has been on the forums in OWC's site. cause i would like to submit my crash log panic log and the extensions with errors so he could help track down the problems to see if it cant be fixed. but ive tried emailing him but no replay's. and his last reply on the OWC forums was back in desember 2005 a few day's over a year
i know it isnt the drive cause it worked flawlessly in tiger 10.4.8 on my friends Digital Audio but i know why it worked fine cause it has the proper files for the DA to work cause its a supported system. i would like to try to help to get xpostfacto to work better on the Beige G3 system
in tiger if it is something to do with xpostfacto

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

Can't get Pioneer DVR-110D to work

I just bought a Pioneer DVR-110D drive and installed it, but I can't get it to support burning. I tried PatchBurn 1 (I use OS 10.2.8) but to no avail. I searched this forum for posts on both PatchBurn and the drive, and I've been doing everything as detailed in the posts, but the system profiler still says burning isn't supported.
It reads CDs fine, and DVDs show up on the desktop (I don't have DVD playing software, though). It even erased a CD-RW.
In PatchBurn, there's 7 different Pioneer drivers listed, do I have to try replacing every one?

"In PatchBurn, there's 7 different Pioneer drivers listed, do I have to try replacing every one?"
In PatchBurn 1, try selecting the closest model number of Pioneer DVR drive from the list (if I remember, DVR-104). After it's unstalled, restart.
If that didn't seem to work, try a PRAM reset.

Adding Pioneer DVR-116D dvd writer

I am replacing an old Pioneer DVR-112D with a new DVR-116D in my dual G4 MDD Mac with OSX 10.4.11
Are there updates / hacks I should load to make the DVR-116D fully compatible with my Mac?
Thanks!

Hi-
With 10.4.11, you shouldn't need anything- just plug and play.
If needed, run the Patchburn utility.

Anyone have experieence with Pioneer DVR-K05PD Superdrives??

Hi,
I'm really tired of the slow burning speed of the Matshita UJ-845E and thinking about replacing it with a Pioneer DVR-K05PD superdrive. Anyone have any experience with this model?
Especially when used with no-name DVD media. The best speed I can get from even reasonably good DVDs is 2x with this model Matshita

That pretty well answers the question. Supermarket DVDs are probably equivalent to what I buy in Asia.
From what I've been able to dig up after visiting lots of sites is that the K06 is slightly smaller in depth than the K05PD.
The K05PD also states it is csel so the solder mod required on the K06 shouldn't be required. Though some sites say you can boot from the K06 by holding the option key.
I deliberately haven't closed this thread yet so I can ad a final comment after installing and trying it out. There's a DVR-K06 I should be able to get at a good price in the next day or so.
Thanks for your help.

Beige G3 AIO with Pioneer DVR-110D not booting OS X 10.2 retail install CD

for some reason my Pioneer DVR-110D wont boot the 10.2 retail install cd's i have it will boot the OS 9.2.1 retail install cd's just fine. the only way i can boot the OS X install cd's is if i hold the command-control-power key's for 5 second's after the normal attempt to boot the cd normaly.
but during the file copying during the install it stall's out. the only way i can install OS X is if i put the orignal 24x cd-rom drive and then it will boot normaly and install normaly.
the same goes with trying to install tiger useing Xpostfacto4 but it will boot into the installer with no problem but durring the install the Pioneer will stall and will go no further during the copy prosses i can however install useing the orignal cd-rom drive
but after i get tiger installed i cant mount any disk's with either the normal cd-rom or the pioneer DVR-110D and the same goes with my other AIO i have. I dont have the disk mounting problem in OS X 10.2 or 10.2.8.
also i figured out why i was having a wake up freeze in OS 9.2.2 with the Pioneer DVR-110D there is a extention conflict happening some where with the apple cd/dvd driver extention. i disables the apple cd/dvd driver extention and rebooted amd put the system to sleep and it woke up fine but it wouldent mount any disk's cause of the extention being disabled so i rebooted and back to the wakeup freeze.
the only way to get around the wakup freeze i was having in OS 9.2.2 is to open the energy saver window and set the hdd to never fall asleep and have the monitor the only thing that sleep's and let the system idle to sleep.
sorry for the long post guy's/and gal's

From what I've read, many beiges had problems booting the 10.2 installer. I didn't have any problems booting 10.2 installer with this drive and it installed perfectly fine. However, after it installed, I couldn't actually boot into the OS, I got as far as the gray screen and it stopped and wouldn't go any further. I could boot the 10.4.3 disc as well, but as you said, the installation always stalled at "installing base system" and would go no further. I installed it by pulling my HD and hooking it up in my dad's G4, then brought it back to my computer. That worked great and 10.4.3 ran wonderfully. I just last night upgraded to 10.4.4 and it is snappy as well, however, I still have the problem with the DVR-110D. My drive will not copy large files (over 5MB) from a disc to the HD. I can mount discs and read them, but after a bit of time, it stops working entirely and won't mount discs at all. I have not tried the beta version of xpostfacto, I thought I had that version until I checked it just now. Perhaps a trip to the site to download the beta is in order. Also, the drive works great under 9.2.2, just as yours does, so I know it is not a drive error and has to be something with the Beige G3 architecture and Tiger, something is not communicating correctly. I've posed the question previously (which wasn't answered yet) about whether or not an 80 wire ATA cable would make a difference? Perhaps the 66mhz bus speed is not sufficient to have info flow from the drive to the HD? I don't know and I'm getting frustrated because I know this is a good drive! Hope we can figure it out!

Pioneer DVR-115DBK won't recognize CD-R's

Hi,
I recently purchased a Pioneer DVR-115D to replace my previous DVR-105 model. The 115 works well for the most part, plays music CD's, plays and copies DVDs, but when I insert a blank CD-R, I get the following message:
"The disc could not be used because the disc drive is not supported. (Error code 0x80020025)"
Do I need to replace my DVR with an older model, or is there some other solution?
Please advise, thanks.

Have you used Patchburn?
