I am sorry to seem short, here but from the code you
gave the Media you are talking about is FINE. Read
the link on Quality.
I did read the link, but all I can tell from it is that Verbatim is in the top tier. I have no way to tell what media code the one that I am buying has BEFORE I buy it. That free application to check it after I buy it does not work for me. All I can tell from that link are what are the top tier media codes and the brands that use them. Yet if they outsource, then they could also be using inferior media, I gather.
IF THE CODE MATCHES IT DOESN"T MATTER WHERE YOU BUY
IT>
I understand that, but that is not my question. I don't know the media code if the retailer does not list it.
SuperMediaStore gives the code. Great! However, Buy.com doesn't, but it is the same product #.
My question is if the media codes can be different for the same product?
In other words could verbatim supply supermediastore with a batch of 16X (95102) with a great media code, yet supply the same product to buy.com with a inferior media code.
Do you know if Verbatim supplies different resellers with different levels of quality for the same product?
Far right in the link shows those media's
outsourced.
There are literally dozens of different Media out on
the market for you to buy. I say upwards of 60% of
all problems attributed to different errors while
burning is from POOR QUALITY MEDIA.
Most users will not take the time to do a little
research before they just go out and buy media not
knowing there is a big difference.
Don
I did all the research you recommended. Went out and bought some Vertatim 16 X product #95101 because Vertbatim is recommended on that site. I have no idea what the media code is for this particular one. I couldn't find it anywhere, and I still don't know if Verbatim uses different media codes for the SAME product.
Unfortunately, The DVD that I burnt was unable to be verified and disk utility said it was unreadable. I was backing up files.
This is very frustrating. I did hours of research only to come up with failure. I am going to try and return these. But, I need to repeat my unanswered question. Please listen to the question below and answer if accordingly if you know the answer.
If supermedia has Verbatim 16X DVD-R Media 100 pack (95102) listed as Media code: MCC03RG20, does that mean that the 16X DVD-R Media (95102) 100 pack sold by buy.com or others also have the same media code?
I apologize if I sound repetitive, but I feel horrible at this point.

  • Can Apple upgrade my MacBook with a DVD burner?

    Just wondering if my MacBook can be upgraded with a DVD burner without additional problems relating to the upgrade ocurring. I wasn't ready to buy another Mac that had it already preinstalled.
    Thanks,
    Reese

    Hi Reese85,
    Theoretically, you can upgrade it without any problem.
    But the question : will they do that?
    I read a post or two in this forum a while ago that user being denied by apple store when they asked to upgrade their optical drive.
    Usually not to long after a mac released, third party reseller will have the optical as an upgrade option, but I never see one for macbook until now.
    Good Luck.
    ps: why not consider external DVD burner for now until the internal become available?

    When using Final Cut Pro X (iMac mid 2011 model-version 10.1.3) to burn 1 hour movie onto DVD, it seems to render but when computer says 'Sharing to DVD successful' and yet DVD is blank, what's my next move? Burning hardware is working as I burned a project using iMovie afterwards. I filmed a funeral service and family get together afterwards but can't share it with family and friends...plz......suggestions/recommendations/condemnations........

    Another update to my burning problem...in my movies folder there is an img file (states it is a classic disk image-2.82GB) after I have tried burning a DVD unsuccessfully and when I open the img file I see 1) AUDIO_TS AND 2) VIDEO_TS files. I 'control' clicked the file and tried burning this folder onto a disc. Result it seemed to burn both files onto DVD but still couldn't view video.

  • The DVD's I'm burning are not compatible with common DVD players

    what am I doing wrong?
    I guess there has to be others that has the same problem, I have read this thread but can't find any good answer.
    All I can find searching here and Google is that I should change the "playback" DVD player, that it's not good enough for me!
    I've done a 2x DVD package and I get a lot of feedback that Disc#1 is unplayable.
    About the system since everybody asks for that:
    MacBookPro - a lot of ram
    the prject is on a external drive with enough space
    FinalCutExpress - exported to selfcontained MOV files
    iDVD (iLife'08)
    everything works fine in iDVD - Save as DiscImage - burned in DiskUtility
    Errors:
    PS2 - reading disc... for 2 minutes - disc error
    a DELL pc hangs (that could of course just be a coincidence crash
    a TOSHIBA or HITACHI dvd player (new - plays everything) just says LOAD... in display
    I've used Toast on the last ones - and they seem to work fine ?:-)

    I have this same issue and I don't get it!
    I just got done burning a DVD for a friend of the family who died - a slideshow of her life that was supposed to be played at the funeral. The funeral home called 10 minutes before the ceremony and told me that it didn't work in their player! (I've had this problem before with other DVDs I've made using iDVD. What's going on?
    I always check the DVDs in my own home player first, and they work just fine - and our home player is not anything fancy.
    Anyone have any advice? This is unacceptable! iDVD is not doing what it is advertised as being able to do!!!
    Thanks for any help

  • My 3 year old MacBook Pro, with OS 10.7.1, won't play movie DVDs I burned on Panther. Why?

    My 3 year old MacBook Pro, with OS 10.7.1, won't play movie DVDs I burned on Panther.
    Why?

    But to answer your question, you might be able to create a ISO of the DVD and burn that to a new DVD.
    Insert your DVD.
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app.
    In the left side of the window, select the “DVD”.
    Click “New Image” from the Disk Utility toolbar and select where you want to save the temporary image. For “Image Format”, choose “DVD/CD master” and for “Encryption”, choose “none”.
    The image extension in the “Save As” box will be .cdr (this is what you want) — click “Save”.
    Once the temporary image is created, it will show up on the left side of the Disk Utility window. Select it.
    Insert a blank DVD (I prefer Verbatim discs).
    Click “Burn” from the Disk Utility toolbar.
    Another problem could be that you burned the DVD using a codec that your new machine doesn't have.
    Install Perian, VLC and Flip4Mac, that combination will play anything.
    Also install Flash for web content and Silverlight for Netflix.

  • I bought the external DVD player/burner for my Macbook.  I tried using it with my Dell laptop but it will not work.  Is it not configured to work with anything but apple operating systems?

    I bought the external DVD player/burner for my Macbook.  I tried using it with my Dell laptop but it will not work.  Is it not configured to work with anything but apple operating systems?

    If you purchased the Apple USB SuperDrive, it will only work with select Apple devices. It won't work, for example, on my Late 2011 model that has a SuperDrive built-in, but it will work with an Air, Retina model, new 'drive-less' iMacs, etc.
    As far as I know, though, you can only hack the drive to work with some other Apple devices, but not with Windows PCs. Which is a shame as other, less expensive DVD/CD devices will work with just about any machine.
    Sorry,

  • How to burn iDVD with no DVD burner..

    Hi - I have a new MacBook but foolishly didn't buy the one with the DVD burning capability. I have created a nice slideshow with pics and music, nice transitions, etc. in iDVD which I want to be able to play in a DVD player on the TV, but can not burn it as I have no superdrive. Can you think of a way around this, or other software I can use to create the same slideshow and burn to a CD and play on the TV? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    Your DVD player attached to the TV will probably be looking for a DVD, unless it will also play video CD's. One option is to buy yourself an external DVD recorder. You can scan the discussions to find ones that work with macs (not all specify that they will work with macs). For example, OWC has 3 external recorders from $80 to $120 at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/optical-drives/ . If you follow the path I've seen others follow, once you find out how easy it is to create various materials for DVD's, you'd probably get your monies worth from an external DVD burner.
    Another option would be to hook your computer directly to your TV, if the TV will allow it. Many newer LCD/plasma TV's allow for computer hookup.

  • I can't read in Mavericks DVDs and Bluray data burn with UDF system files burn with Snow Leopard, please help me. Thanks

    i can't read in Mavericks DVDs and Bluray data burn with UDF system files burn with Snow Leopard, please help me. Thanks

    They are DVDs with video files from a little more than 2 GB per file, were burned in Snow Leopard, with UDF file system, now that I updated to Mavericks when I try to read disks displays the directory in the finder a moment and then disappear and does not display them show them more. It is impossible to read the discs, but only those who were burned with UDF file system. Thank you for your help.

  • How do i burn an audio dvd in my thinkpad x-201 with ulthinkpad trabase and dvd/cd burner/ player

    hello,,
    would someone please point me to directions about how to burn a dvd audio disc. i've looked at various lenovo sites, but no luck [i don't even know the how-to basics, so pls excuse my ignorance].  there doesn't appear to be any application/program for burning dvds and cds on this machine.
    using windows xp pro, sp3, thinkpad x-201 with x200 ultrabase and dvd/cd burner/ player
    thank you.

    hi, thanks for your earlier reply. here's a clarification of my question:
    i have a cd with music from an album mix. because a cd lacks enough space to copy the entire album, i would like to burn it on a dvd, which has more than enough space.
    do i simply copy the cd into windows media player's library, and then burn it from media player to a dvd?
    or, is there a cd/dvd burner available from some manufacturers? i seem to recall roxio or nero as software that will give me what i want.
    my lenovo x201 thinkpad rests on an ultrabase that has dvd/cd burners.
    i am so confused.
    again, thanks for replying.

  • Disapointed with picture quality after burning dvd

    Hi,
    I have iDVD3 and found the little "cheat" so yo could burn to an external DVD writer as I have a LaCie DVD writer. I duly burned my first project but have to say that I am disapointed with the DVD quality compared to DVDs I have burned with TOAST.
    I did notice that when burning my DVD on iDVD that it looked as though an error had taken place as a message appeared on screen saying that it couldn't write to the DVD and the tray to teh DVD burner opened however it already had.
    Any ideas?

    Hi
    58 min should put You in the situation of High Quality in iDVD but it
    depends greatly how advanced Your DVD-menu is. iDVD can guess that
    it is more than 60 min (together) and then put You in best performance.
    a. I would downgrade QT to 6.5.2 (Apple support downloads and so on)
    b. I don't use - Share to (iDVD, QT or what ever) from within iMovie (if it
    is this that You use) but close iMovie, locate project folder/icon and in
    this find folder -> Share movie -> iDVD -> use this QT movie in iDVD.
    - it doesn't render this way - which harms photos at least)
    (And I'm using OS X.3.9 - feel safe with this)

  • DVD Studio Pro 4 USE WITH EXTERNAL DVD BURNER??

    Hello
    Looking at buying DVD Studio Pro 4 for my mini but apple have just stated it will not install unless my machine has a superdrive. We've got an external firewire DVD burner and i've read mention of other versions of DVD Studio burning through externals so how come we carnt use DVD Studio Pro 4 with an external DVD burner?
    Has anyone tried an external DVD burner with DVD Studio Pro 4 ?
    Cheers

    This issue isn't external drives, it's the mini, and installing the program.
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/dvdstudiopro/specs.html
    The specs do not seem to require an internal superdrive.

  • DVD will burn successfully but cannot be read in any DVD player

    I have created a film using Final Cut Pro 7. I have exported as a Quicktime Movie file, used converter to make DVD MPEG-2 and DVD Dolby Audio. I import these files as assets onto DVD Studio Pro (v4.2.2) and add to my project which plays perfectly as we want it to on the Simulation.
    When I do either the One Click Burn or Build and Format to burn, the process runs smoothly and says it's successful but no DVD player will recognise the disc. This ranges from top of the line Sony Blu-Ray/DVD players to various other basic DVD players...
    How can we get to view these DVDs?

    You made an HD DVD. Go back into preference and change it to SD and start over.

  • I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3  I could go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn.  How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4?

    I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3  I used to go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn.  How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4? 

    BenB it creates a disc image only and it's not in .m2v. I think it saved it as an Apple Pro Res 422 format instead. The disc image file format will not allow
    Toast 11 to create menus etc.  Thanks for your help.

  • Does the new imac come with a cd/dvd player/burner?

    Does the new imac come with a cd/dvd player/burner?

    It's $80.00. You can buy other externals for less, I think, but only the Apple one will work with Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows and any other applications that will only work with an "internal" optical drive.
    If this isn't important for you, then explore less expensive alternatives. Check out OWC for example.
