Problem with copied DVDs--"DAMAGED TS FOLDER" (HELP or I shall go MAD!)

Hi folks--really, really hope someone can help me. This has got me beat. And I'm by no means sure it's a problem with my computer, but...
The facts:
1. I recently acquired a Panasonic DMR-ES20 DVD recorder, primarily to make DVD copies of a number of old and treasured videotapes. These are from broadcast, so copy protection isn't a factor.
2. I often use my Mac as a TV to watch DVDs and have never had the slightest problem with commercial DVDs.
3. I am (or was) using Roxio's Popcorn 2 program to make up backup copies of the DVDs I make.
4. I made about 20 DVDs without problem, and ALL work perfectly on the Imac, and ALL can be copied via Popcorn 2.
5. Then, SOMETHING CHANGED, I have no idea what--but now, each and every DVD I make with the Panasonic shows up on the Imac as follows:
"The TS folder appears to be damaged."
These disks will NOT play on the Imac and cannot be copied with Popcorn 2. They DO play on the Panasonic machine, however.
6. I have tried varying media, including high-quality Taiyo Yuden disks. That didn't help.
7. I have reset the recorder to original factory settings. That didn't help.
8. I have used a disk lens cleaner on the Imac. That didn't help.
9. I have spoken with Applecare and (God help me) Panasonic. Both pronounced themselves baffled.
10. As am I. As things stand, I've got a lot of more or less useless equipment. Ideas? Hints? Suggestions?

The only time I have ever expierianced an issue like this is from doing extensive burning. The cause is from the storage of the cache files and some of the older TS folders even after you trashed them from your machine after you burned.
The only way I have been able to work around this is
First Repair Permissions as is submitted by Gulliver.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640
I have also found that by running 3 freeware or shareware programs one right after the other and after the 3rd it will restart your computer all is well when I do it.
First run Macjanitor.

Next run Cache Out X.

And last but not least is ONYX.
take note when you run Cache out X and Onyx be careful to not delete your favorites in your browsers.

A note of interest, I have had to do this after I have done a lot of copying to get rid of all the excesive junk that is left behind.
Give it a try.
Good Luck Don

Problems with copying applications to Applications folder

Hi all,
I'm facing serious issue's with Mavericks.
I'm a in-house developer, and I made a few apps that are bing used in process.
A few weeks ago I made an 'autoUpdater'. This checks a windows fileshare for any updates. If there are updates, it will copy this file to the /Applications folder.
Now the thing is, the current logged in user, which runs the autoUpdater, is able to run all applications which has been installed/copied.
When they log out, and another user logs in, all those applications show up as Zero Bytes, And seems damaged or incomplete.
However, when I copy the 'damaged' app to the users desktop, its working again.
Back to the 'original' user, the app is fine in /Applications.
Even after running Disk Utility from boot usb, to repair permissions, problem is not solved.
chmod 0775 on the application, does not work
chown root:staff on the application does not work
touch application, does not work
all these things combined, still not working for the newer users that login.
I've also done all this manually, and it does not solve the issue.
Anyone have any idea's ?

Hi LexSchellings,
installing applications I do for all users.
The problem goes when I'm copying .app files to /Applications.
If I do it from my 'autoUpdater' application, or manually, it does not work.
There is an little application called 'Permissions Reset', which actually fixed the problem, but I have to do that manually, I need to do this by terminal commands, because I'm talking about updating a small application for 1500+ desktop / laptops and they never are all on ;-)
My application checks for new updates when they boot up.

Problem with Copy To/Browse for Folder

Don't know when it started doing this, but now when I right-click and select Copy To and select Browse for Folder it only shows me folders that are under my W7 user name.
I need to get to my external drive, but it doesn't display Computer.
Strange and very inconvenient.
Looking for a solution.

Hmm, can't imagine how my workspace would relate to what drives Bridge reads using the Copy To. My drives show up just fine in the folders view. And also in the Export to dialog.
I keep my images on an external drive.
Folders that are not under my user name on C drive, but still on another drive show up in the recent ones in Copy To and access just fine.
So it makes no sense that Copy To>Browse for Folder only displays my drive C Windows user folder on that other drive.

Re: Hey, I had met a problem with installation. Can any one help me?
This worked for an English version and the concept should work with all Adobe programs - new or old (hopefully in any language). My guess is that you have/had an older version of Acrobat/Reader on your computer hard drive that needs to be *completely* removed first. Uninstall the new (and any old) Acrobat; then try using the "kb2..." guideline link below before reinstalling the new Acrobat. I am including the lengthy instructions in order to help others with more extensive installation problems. Good luck!
I live on a fixed income and use CS for a hobby. I had problem installing Adobe Creative Suite (CS1) to Windows 7 64-bit Pro on my new computer. Also installed Adobe Photoshop LR3. What I learned: All Adobe products (Flash, Acrobat/Reader, Photoshop, Creative Suites, etc.) leave a VERY pervasive footprint on your hard drive. Logic finally worked for me.... think of building a house; there is an order you have to do things in. First, you have to clean the area before laying the foundation; then you have to build the framework before you put the roof on. You cannot install an older program over ANY newer program; and you will sometimes have a problem installing a newer program containing Flash, Reader, etc. unless you "erase" the older versions of Flash, Reader beforehand. If installing older programs, do a Custom/Manual install; do not install older versions of Flash, Reader, etc. packaged with your Adobe software.
SOLUTION (not easy, but it works):
I first tried this; it did not solve my problem (but, if applicable, may help others). http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Win dows
Before doing anything, make document and any database/presets/cache back-ups beforehand (keep notes on their designated location*); manually create a System Restore point. (Be prepared to reinstall Windows if necessary - I didn't have to.)
Completely and meticulously eradicate (clean) your hard drive of ALL Adobe programs [uninstall, remove remaining folders, and remove only the registry entries that have the Adobe name attached (unless you are an expert and fully understand the other entries)]. Use this as a guideline http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400769.html
Do a Custom/Manual reinstall of all your Adobe products *in order of release dates* (OLDEST first).... do not include Reader, Flash, etc. If your CD will not automatically run at this point, click "Open folder to view files" (use Computer/Windows Explorer, if necessary). Click "Adobe Creative Suite (or your desired program) ==> Setup.exe" (IMPORTANT: Make sure that Reader, Flash, etc. are unchecked.)
After each of your desired Adobe programs are installed, test to insure they boot up. Then download the latest Reader, Flash, etc. apps and install them (I did this in order of release date - oldest first). Do test boot(s) again.
Copy/Paste your document and any database/presets/cache back-ups into the appropriate folders (*this will vary depending on your programs and your filing system).
It has been four weeks and all my Adobe programs work flawlessly - system is stable, no problems!

Problems with my DVD/CD-ROM Drive (MS-8216)

I have a BIGGGG problem with my DVD/CD-ROM Drive (MS-8216)
I was copying somethin in my comp, and the cd got BOOOM into pieces inside.
My warranty expired 1 month ago, so i clean it in the inside. After this it is like this :
- i can watch 700mb movies AVI format with no problems, but when i want to copy anything in my comp from the cd it always stops rotating at 6% of copiyng and BANG it stops and an error has acourde. Same with the dvd's. Please don't ask me about my comp config couse i know it has no problem with that. I left every thing like it was inside --- impecable, no wiress unplugged and i've upgraded the firmware also
What can it be. Thank you

if you can read the CD, but not copy from it, try this program:
Isobuster
It allows you to read with a much better accuracy than the generic windows driver.
However, i'm afraid your drive has been damaged in the explosion and this is only a work around, not a real solution.
The good point is that DVD burner are now cheap, but it is not much...

Problem with burning DVD's

I have Roxio Toast Titanium and I have a problem with burning DVD's. When I put a blank DVD-R in my superdrive, select the files and go to burn; the advanced recording options will not let me deselect the check in "close disk". It is shaded. But when I use a CD-RW I can and so far the Roxio help has...well has not been help at all. I mean why would I spend the money to buy a software package that lets me do the same thing as the basic OS-X disk utility would let me do? Drag a file, burn it and close the disk from any future use....
Sorry if this does not belong here, I did not see a area for general software questions way back in the main forum area not one here.

Donald,
Hi and thank you.
To give you more details on what I am trying to do; I am trying to burn in Mac & PC format. I am mainly trying to back up all my assorted college files (I am a college student), these files are lecture notes in Word with embedded audio recordings, standard Word documents such as essays, etc., spreadsheets, PDF documents, etc. The files I am attempting to burn should not be larger than 4.7 gb and Roxio has not given me a warning that it would be.
I am just frustrated that when I put in a DVD-R or -RW I only have one option, and that is to close out the disk when it is finished burning it. I have also gone to the recording tab, on the menue bar, to uncheck the "close disk" box after I put in a blank DVD and before I select files to burn. The option is shadded preventing me from even trying, which is not the case for a CD!
Thank you!

Satelite 1400-503 problem with a DVD+R

Hello,
I have a problem with my dvd - rom. Family of me have burned a dvd+R. Now can't i play it on my notebook. So i tested a dvd-R and this works well.
A friend of me tells me that i can change some configuration of something like that so i can play the both formats. Can someone help me with this???

Hi
I don't think this is a setting to be changed. The drive must support the + format.
This is not very common if the machine is not very very new. If You get this problem with the built-in drive of Your Sat1400-503 and it is not replaced by some unsupported one, then I am very sure that it does not support the DVD+R format.

Does iOS8.1.1 resolve problems with copy&past?

since previous releases of iOS8 I'm facing problems with copy&paste of url's and data betwen application on iPad2 and 4s .
does 8.1.1 solve those problems.

You might want to follow this methodology to update ...
Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

MOVED: Problem with SATA DVD/RW

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
Problem with SATA DVD/RW

I use the Plextor PX-712SA's with no issues. However...I do not believe the SATA versions require jumpers. Try plugging them in on SATA port 1 or 2, making sure those are enabled in BIOS of course. Make sure all connections are secure. There have been some issues with these particular drives not operating properly, but it has not been an issue with seasoned system builders, so the problems may be with the builder himself. Usually, Plextors are so good, they'll almost burn a paper plate! Try a different medium, maybe another brand of blank CD or DVD.
You may also want to check Device Manager in Windows, to see if it is listed "This device is working properly"!

Im having problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes I'm getting cut edges in the video , does anyone have any idea ?

Im having a problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes I'm getting cut edges/lines in the video specialy if i have titles it comes up really bad , I took the same video to a friend of mine who have PC and he uses Encore , did the encoding there and it was just fine no problems! BTW I tried using doferent setings in compressor from CBR and VBR I even pushed up the setings to 8 or 9 BR and still no luck !
does anyone have any idea ?
Thanks in advence ...

Let's focus attention on just the Sony. (What model and what resolution are you shooting?)
For now, I'll assume you're shooting 1080i.
Take a representaive clip into a new sequence. Add a title.
In your sequence, make sure field dominance is set to Upper.
Set render settings to Pro Res 422.
After rendering, export QT self contained.
Import into Compressor (I'm now referring to v3.5).
Select the 90 minute Best quality DVD preset.
Open frame controls and turn on (click the gear icon). Set Resize filter to Best.
Submit burn and check quality on TV.
Good luck.

Problems with burned DVD in iDVD - Works in some players, not in others

Hi, I'm having a strange problem with a DVD I burned in iDVD.
I have a disc image that I made in iDVD and then burn the Audio_TS and Video_TS folders to a DVD.
I burned to a Memorex DVD+R.
The video pops up fine and plays on my computer after it burns, but if I eject the disc and try to re-insert it, the DVD preview says "Supported disc not found". It did this same thing when I tried it in my Macbook.
It works fine in my standard DVD player, but I also tried it on my Playstation 3 and it did not play.
A few things I am going to try is buring directly from iDVD instead of first making a disc image, and also using DVD-R, although I heard that DVD+R is generally a better format to use.
Someone also told me that DVD+R does not play on macs, which I question.
If anyone has any other suggestions or might know why this is happening, I would greatly appreciate it. It is an important project that needs to be done soon! Thanks.

The disc image option is within iDVD: File > Save as Disc Image. If you switch to DVD map map mode you can drag your movie to a spot prior to the menu so that the movie plays automatically when put into the player. Under advanced, you can set the movie to loop.... otherwise I think it goes back to the menu when done playing. BTW, all DVDs MUST have a menu it is part of the DVD specification. It is just a matter of whether you see the menu. As far as exporting your project back to tape... you won't loose any quality and your audio, along with your video and any editing to each will export back to tape. However, a MP3 is not generally considered a higher quality file (although perhaps the recorder was closer to the source?). As a matter of fact, if you are editing your audio I strongly suggest using a file sampled at at least 16-bit/48Khz, AIFF (or WAV or anything lossless).
In regards to the slow burn speed: I agree that a slower burn speed is better than the fastest burn speed (due to error corrections ect). However, I would choose a middle of the road burn speed. If my choices are 4x, 6x, or 8x, I would choose 6x. If it is 2x, 4x, 6x, I would choose 4x. And yes, quality of blank media can effect the playback of a disc that played once just fine.
