So I got a superdrive replacement Installed. and now read Cds do not read DVD burned it (Appear window offering me ignore it or erase it) and when I put a commercial DVD don't even mount it don't offer me any option I use Disc Utility to check the disk out and this happened

Any Help?

Boot from your Tiger System Install DVD. From the Utility Menu run the repair disk/permission option.
If the above cannot repair, then you will need to purchase a stronger 3rd party utility.

Imac plays cds not dvds anymore HELP MY SANITY!!!

I have a imac 21.5 inch mid 2010 model 3.06ghz 12gb running 10.8.3 osx
I have had no massive issues with my lovely mac until now
Problem is system plays cds without issue however recently has started to eject dvds. I have looked all over the net and some places on here without finding a proper cure. This is driving me insane so i need help before i consider getting out the big hammer!!
First question why would it play cds and not dvds anymore having previously not been a problem and can i upgrade to anykind of software that will enable me also to upgrade it to play blu rays also. I have noticed software available that allegedly plays blu rays but has anyone had experiences with this good bad or indifferent?
Please help me get my dvds working again thank you!!

Then, try an optical disc reader lens cleaner. If that doesn't fix it, then the optical drive DVD lens is broken. AFAIK, there are separate lenses for CDs and DVDs.

Some DVDs not playing in my iMac, need help!

some orginial / genuine DVDs not playing in my iMac, need help!

Once your husband copied the movies, did he use a burn software to burn them to a DVD? You need to use a burn software to properly encode the footage so it'll play in any DVD player/computer/TV. So, once the movie is copied to your hard drive, you can edit it in iMovie (may need a converter first to get it into a format iMovie can work with such as MPEG Streamclip); after you're done in iMovie, use iDVD if you have it or Roxio Toast to burn it to a DVD.
And for the OP: Regions are different depending on where the movie was made: the US, Europe, etc. The regions are set within DVD player - you insert a DVD and the player reads what region it originated in. Please note you can only change regions 5 x; after the 5th, that setting will remain and can't be changed again.

Problem burning DVDs, NEED HELP QUICK

Hey,
I need help as soon as possible. I am using iMovieHD 5.0.2, along with iDVD 5.0.1. I have made a movie about 8 minutes long and all in all it totals 7.68Gigs, and i've tried burning it to a dvd. I did all the steps it says to, going to Share, sharing it with iDVD, then trying to burn it in iDVD. Yet whenever it asks me to insert a recordable dvd, i do, and the computer fails to recognize it. I am using a DVD-R, 4.7GB discs, 4x. I then realized that the movie i was trying to burn was larger than this disc, which might be the problem. I then created a 200mb movie and tried, but the same problem happened. My G5 is not recognizing the blank dvds, yet when i insert a dvd that was made a while ago from a different source, yet the same type of dvd, it plays fine.
The problem seems to be in recognizing the blank DVD, and im pretty sure that its compatible with this computer, being that it plays when theres already a movie on it.
Can someone please help me quickly, this is for a production company and we're losing out every day that i dont get this done. Thanks a million.

I don't have an answer, but as an initial diagnostic step, try loading a blank DVD while iDVD is not running. First open your System Preferences and select the CD/DVD icon. Make sure the options selected do not say "Ignore". Then load a blank disc. Depending on your preferences, you should get some sort of reaction - either a burn window opens or you get a prompt asking you what to do. If there's no reaction from the Finder, it would indicate that the drive is not recognizing the blank DVD. This would be either a hardware or a media compatibility problem. Only way to tell for sure is to run out and try a different brand of media.

Best Quality too big for DVD. need help

Hi,
I just completed a movie using iMovie. I compressed the movie as a Quicktime file at best quality and it is 6gb. I understand that this is too big for the 4.7gb dvd-r's i have.
I wanted to know the best way to get my movie to fit while still mainting the best possible quality. This project is very important and i need it to be able to play on a home dvd player tomorrow.
I'm using iDVD.
Can somebody please help me out.
Thank you so much

Hi Karl,
first of all: on this forum, my guess is, you are the one with the deepest insight in iMovie (one word: corrupted projects... oops, that was two).
BUT...
My job for more then 20 years is communication, advertisement as an example. make the message in less then 8 words...
Apples says: 60/120 minutes of an iM project fit on a dvd-r.Full stop.
that is from my p.o.v crystal-clear..HOW is this done? easy: make project, click "iDVD" - BOOM! done... to quote the CEO of a small computer company...
people buy cars without ANY idea, what ABS, EPS, etc is, besides HOW it works. they use it. full stop. anyone any idea, what happens, when you push the pedal...? ... when the car DOESN'T accelerate, you realize, you have NO clue...-
funny enough, this forum is CROWDED with people, who don't own a driver's license, but try to explain, the car manufacturer has done big bugs, lots of mistakes, should fix that & this.- you CAN use a car, to boil eggs, iron your shirts and create a painting... but THAT would need a better understanding of how a car works.
topics which are/can not understood lead to what the behaviorism calls "superstitious behavior" - you do some really weird things, because you believe it has any effect....
so, sometimes, less knowledge leeds to better results
(from a communicator's point of view)
I agree, maybe the "help" files should offer an "expert" mode....

Brand new at copying DVDs - need help.

Hope that I am in the right forum. I'm brand new at using DVD copying since I've only had this computer for about a week. I've had problems in copying my home video DVDs on DVD+R discs which were created on a Sony DVD recorder. These are obviously not copy protected. I tried making a copy for a friend but ran into problems, phoned Apple and followed their instructions for copying and burning -R discs but that didn't work for me. On my follow up call, they suggested that the problem may be either the +R disc (rather than -R) or the fact that the discs were not burned on a computer but rather on the recorder. They suggested the use of other software. So I searched the web andI downloaded something called Mac the Ripper and using the dialog box in that program, do have the contents of one disc on my hard drive as far as I know. But I don't know how to copy (burn) onto a blank disc either using this same program or something else. In other words, what are my next step by step instructions to burn what I hope I have on the hard drive onto a blank disc - I still have +R discs left so I'll likely be using them. Thanks for any help.

From all the helpful information posted here, I have found out that copying DVDs is not quite as straightforward as I had hoped it would be using my new computer. I would have to purchase software which isn't supplied on my iMac such as Toast or Popcorn to do the job as far as I have found out from a number of sources. Toast is a bit more costly than I want to spend for just this one task although Popcorn is more reasonable. I am beginning to think that for the few DVDs that I really need to copy for my friend, the easiest route is to use my DVD recorder, transfer the contents of the DVD to the hard drive on my recorder (yes, the recorder does have a 160 GB HD) and then burn a blank DVD from the recorder's hard drive which is what I have done dozens of times in the past. Of course, it takes 2 hours to transfer the video from a DVD (assuming it has 2 hours of video on it) to the hard drive and then only about 4 - 7 minutes to burn the video onto a blank DVD from the HD of the recorder. Using the computer, I had hoped to reduce the time it takes for that first 2 hour step with the recorder. I'm not even sure if Popcorn would significantly reduce the time for transferring the video from the DVD onto the computer. I'll have to evaluate whether or not the cost of something like Popcorn is really worthwhile for me. Thank goodness, copying audio CDs is much more straightforward on the computer. Thanks for all the help.

Editing DVD, NEED HELP!

Hey everyone! I just got a NON-COPYRIGHTED DVD which I need
to delete and add a new first scene on. I saved the Video_TS folder
to me PC, but it wont let me add the files (VOBs ETC)
How can I edit this DVD with Director? Or can I not edit
DVDs

Thats why I bought it....... Like cant u save it to ur PC and edit
the VOBs?
Hi,
As was said before, Director cannot edit DVD video. You will
need a video editing program like Premiere. Director can read
chapers
from a DVD or allow you to play sections of a DVD. Director
does not allow DVD authoring. Any application you create will have
to
run off a computer (Mac or PC). It does not allow output to a
TV DVD player.

Dual Language DVDs - need help asap!

Hi,
I've got a DVD which needs to be in two languages. I have an 'audio selection' menu with the English & Spanish selections.
I've been able to get the audio on the video track to change accordingly to which language is selected but how to I get the menus to display the correct language.
I made the menus with both languages so if you change the language display it shows the right one, but is there a script or something I can do, so if you are on the 'audio selection' menu and click the 'spanish' button it changes the text to display the right language on the menus.
Thanks in advance
Beckie

Hi Beckie - the way I might approach this is to use a menu to select the appropriate language from the beginning - give the viewer a menu which asks them to select from English or Spanish. Once the selection is made, use a few small scripts to store the choice as a value (i.e. from the English selection store a '1' in a GPRM, or a '2' for Spanish).
From then on, you can use that value to know exactly which language stream to play and which menu set to return to - you need to use a script each time to see what the value stored is, then act accordingly.
For example, if a user selects 'Spanish' then set the button to go to a script:
mov GPRM0, 2
Jump SpanishMainMenu
the user can then select the track, but you already know they want to hear it in Spanish, so set every option from this menu to play the Spanish audio. When the track finishes you set the end jump to a script:
Jump EnglishMainMenu If (GPRM0 = 1)
Jump SpanishmainMenu If (GPRM0 = 2)
If you have a lot of sub menus then you'll need to use a few more scripts, but essentially they are as easy as the above two examples.

Not all .m2v movies playing, all same format, need help

I have been trying to resolve a compatibility issue for weeks now, trying everything.
I have 9 PAL .m2v + .ac3 files all same same min bit rate of 2.5 and max of 5, audio is default 192. These files were originally ripped from a client DVD video dvd-r disc. Out of the 9 files, 6 are motion video and 3 are slideshows converted to video, then chapter markers added in dsp pro4.
The slide shows do not play at all. 2 of the three slideshows were ripped from the client dvd, one was a new
slide show. To minimize compatibility issues, I immediately converted it into motion video. Not playing on dvd burn, only in simulation mode.
I have been considering trying to make quicktime movies using sorenson 3 codec, just in case it is an .m2v thing. I suppose that is what I will try while awaiting one hopeful response to my cry for help.
For the record all videos play on dvd burn, but why not the slide shows when they are the exact same codec from compressor 2?
I tried placing all 6 videos and 3 slide shows on same timeline in FCP 5 and using compression and chapter markers (many hours of tweaking compression markers)and exporting one huge .m2v + .ac3 file, still no go on slideshows.
By the way, I am using motion menus and submenus for each video and slideshow, and have even tried using only video tracks, and even imported the one huge video file (with chapter markers). What could I possibly be missing?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!

Hey avflamenco
by chance, did you use MacTheRipper to "extract" and MpegStreamclip to demux the DVD?
i have had similar issues with MpegStreamclip, where 2 files from 10 wont play or become corrupt for some reason when i demux.
it kinda sounds smilar to what you are encountering.
my work around:
i export from MpegStreamClip as a .mov with no compression full resolution native frame rate and cropped only if necessary (if there is blanking). it does take a while to extract, but with this method i do not introduce cascade compression (basically i dont recompress compressed footage).
once this is done, i will import to compressor and let her rip.
there is SLIGHT compression on the original file, but its better than trying to figure out why it's not working.
anyway, thats what i do, it might, it might not help, but i hope it does

Can't get anything to play in iTunes. Need help please.

I have had iTunes for over 2 years. I upgraded to 6.0.1 probably 2 months ago and have had no problems until last week. Since last week, I can open iTunes but none of my songs will play at all. If I press play or double click on a tune the name comes up in the box at the top/middle of the screen, but it won't play. It's not that it plays and I can't hear it - it just does not play at all. If I use the cursor to drag the little diamond to the middle of the song it still doesn't play.
I have a dell desktop, probably 4 years old (2400 model maybe?), and I use windows xp operating system.
Another issue that developed around the same time is I am not getting sound at all from real player or other players. I do get sound when I use my musicmatch jukebox.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I just made a copy of my iTunes Music folder onto my desktop. Than deleted all my songs from my library, but not to the recycle bin. I left them in the folder but out of the library.
Than I re-imported them into my library.
so this guy from my local appleshop told me that ...
it doesn't solve my problem !!!
So, ok, maybe we have to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it and then importing our copied music file again.
I'm gonna ask a friend ...

Need flash player 8 and java script enabled to play videos on ipad, need help please.

need flash player 8 and java script enabled on my ipad in order to view videos. please help.

iPads do not directly support Flash.
You can look for Flash Browsers in the App store for some options to try. Support is not 100%, but maybe one may work for you. Browsers like Puffin, Skyfire, Photon etc...
IPads do fully support JavaScript. Just make sure its turned on under Settings->Safari->Advanced->JavaScript.
If you require Java, which is completely different to JavaScript, again there are some browsers in the App store that support it. Search for "Java browsers" in the store.

I recently bought the LG BE12LU38 for my new Macbook Air. It plays CDs and DVDs just fine, but won't burn them. I always get an 80020025 error when inserting a blank CD or DVD. Other users say, that the drive works just fine with Mac OS X.

The title pretty much says everything. I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.3

Have you tried rebooting your computer?
I know sounds silly, but looks like this is often resolved by simple restart of Finder:

How do I get my iMac to play CDs & DVDs that were created on a PC

I have been trying to get my new iMac to play CDs and DVDs that have been created on a PC. All I can get it to do is say "Supported disk not available" Is there something I am not doing right? Or do I have to download some other program to get it to interface with the PC or what. I am brand to to the Mac world and at this point am getting frustrated. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

When I double click on the DVD icon i get the viewer and the little remote control. All it says on the viewer is Support disc not available when I push play. If I just incert the DVD into the DVD drive I get absolutely nothing. No viewer, no remote, no full screen, no attempt to start. This disc runs just fine on my PC laptop.
You are getting closer. In Finder you will see the DVD appear under Devices, Single Click it so it's highlighted. Then you will see all the files on it. Single Click 1 File then type Command A (Select All) then Command C (Copy) and under the Favorites in the sidebar you will see an icon for Desktop, Single Click Desktop and then type Command V (Paste) and you have copied them onto your iMac's desktop.
