Problems playing DVD with DVD player

I have my original superdrive. Today, we were playing a DVD we had burned with iDVD. It was playing just fine until it got to a certain point and then it kept freezing up. I got an error message stating: DVD Player encountered an error it could not recover from. There was an error reading from the disc. It might be scratched or dirty. [-36] But, the disc is not dirty and it plays just fine in my son's computer. I have used a Maxll Lens Cleaner a half dozen times and it still hangs up when it gets to this point on the DVD. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can solve this problem?????

Defects on/in DVDs can be unseen by the eye but the
drive's laser can have problems reading the "bad"
areas. I've seen this problem from Mac to Mac (or
PC). What about other discs? Same problem?
Regards,
Yes, same thing with another disc the other day, just I was told that it was a defective disc. But, considering the same thing happened today with another disc and the disc plays just fine in my son's emac, I think the problem is my super drive.

  • DVD Player has problem catching up with DVD burned from DVD SP

    I have a DVD with about 20 small videos and when I watch them either from the menu that plays the chosen video or from the Play All list I created with a story, it was often starting the videos already into the video by a second or sometimes a few frames. It did NOT do this in simulator or on the computer DVD player, but it did it on a few of the external DVD players I had hooked up to TVs. I played it on 4 DVD players and it had this problem on a handful of the videos on just two of the DVD players. They were always the same videos too.
    So, I inserted a 15 second slug of video that I exported from FCP to give the DVD players time to process before the video actually started playing. The problem with this is that it moved the video track fine, but it moved the audio just slightly off from the video. The maddening thing is that it moves the video in such a way that it is off by part of a frame. How the heck does that happen????? And it won't let me move it to the nearest actual frame.
    So, I need help. How do I fix it to where the audio still lines up to the video or how can I avoid the first problem so that I don't need to insert a slug?
    I have to submit this DVD Monday morning to discmakers - help please!!!!

    I suggest that you create 15-second silent audio slug that you can use to move the audio the same amount you have moved the video.

  • I'm Having Problems Playing a Burnt DVD on my other DVD Player

    Ok, si I have DVD studio Pro 4. I have burnt a DVD of a video obviosuly. it plays perfectly fine on my Mac, but it will not play on any of my DVD players. I'm not sure where or not it has to do with Closing the disc, and I'm not sure how to that either.
    I'm kind of new to this whole Mac thing. I'm also not sure whether or not my DVD players will play a DVd I burn with DVD Studios Pro.
    So if anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated.

    Hi:
    Wellcome to the forum!
    You must post some details of your worflow to let us know what could be wrong, i.e.:
    - Footage format
    - Encoding workflow
    - Burning workflow
    By a chance, did you created a HD DVD? DVD players for sure will not play that format.
    Come back with some info and you'll get help here for sure!

  • Cannot Burn DVD with DVD Studio Pro 2

    Help.
    I can't burn DVDs with DVDSP 2.
    Here's the error message :

    Anyone else have this problem?

    Sounds to me like you have a LaCie d2 dual layer burner or one of the LaCie burners that has issues. LaCie has created an updated driver to fix this so check the support site:

  • Problem connecting ipod with dvd

    Hi. I have an ipod nano. Before installing software version 1.2 I could connect it with my dvd via usb and manage it as a external disk, but after installing ipod software version 1.2 my dvd does not recognize ipod when I connect it via usb. I also have an ipod video with the same software and have the same problem. Anyone could help me?.
    Thanks.

    If you have a new enough iPod, they are now requiring an apple adapter that has the apple computer chip in it to work. I did a general search on the web and came up with better info than here.

  • Replacing CDRW/DVD with DVD Multi

    Procrastinator here. T60 2008-SAA with origninal CDRW  DVD Ultrabay Burner installed.
    Long time back, bought new DVD Multi III Ultrabay burner, never installed. This is my wife's prime computer for browsing and email, viewing photos, very little else, but it could use the Multi for the photos long term. About to install Windows 7 for continued use indefinitely.
    Drive comes with Thinkpad install CD with now dated software, (Multimedia Center 9.05 and such as WinDVD 5.0.11). It is probably Vista based since produced in 2008. I guess all the necessary drivers for install are on there as well.
    QUESTION: Should I risk installing this with the CD after the upgrade to Win 7? If not, would the necessary drivers be on TVSU ? I have not been able to track  down anything for Win 7 except for a special instance of particular installs on specific computers, not the T60 unfortuantely. It seems like it should be eligible as the cost of buying this as an accessory included the install software with the special third party programs, like the WinDVD.
    Thanks for any help you could offer on this.
    Solved!

    Hello,
    Generally speaking, any software that works under Microsoft Windows Vista is going to work fine under Microsoft Windows 7 as well.  The few kinds of programs that do not are ones that make use of filter drivers, such as anti-malware software, some kinds of encryption software, tape backup software and other programs which directly access to hardware. In those cases, you do have to install the correct version of the program that works with that version of the operating system.
    As far as DVD software goes, though, I don't think you will have any problems.  I am not sure, though, if ThinkVantage System Update will see the updates for them (or if there are any, for that matter).  If it does not, you will need to search Lenovo's support web site for the updates.
    If you are concerned, you can always do a backup before installing the software onto the computer.

  • Bad quality DVDs with DVD SP 4

    I have created some slideshows in Aperture and one in FCP, exported them in PAL 720x576 progressive 16:9, frame rate 25.
    When I preview them in Quick time on my computer monitor they look great. As soon as I import them in DVD SP and stimulate, or buid/format to preview, all the images loose considerable quality with the graphics and text pixelated...
    My settings in DVD SP are: SD DVD, PAL, encoding: MPEG-2 SD 16:9
    What's weird is that the dvd menu appears pixelated too. Is it just a matter of monitor? From previous tests, I know for a fact that the Aperture slideshows do loose quality, when the dvd is tested on a tv screen.
    I spoke to an Aperture pro today from Apple service and he told me that since the exported movies look good on quicktime, it should be a DVD SP issue.
    Any suggestions on what settings could be wrong, or anything I can improve to get better results for my slideshow DVD? (unfortunately I couldn't contact an DVD SP pro for that since they charge £80 per question if you're not covered! - apple care is not enough by the way...)
    Can you help me please?

    > exported them in PAL 720x576 progressive 16:9, frame rate 25. <
    MPEG2 is an interlaced format, usually. Try exporting interlaced from Aperture and see what happens.
    But a big part of the issue is the additional scaling your images are going through. 720x576 is going to get squished to a letterboxed format that, exlcuding the black bard top and bottom, is less than 350 horizontal lines. That's only 50% of your rez out of Aperture. You'd be far better off providing a more accurate movie out of Aperture that requires less scaling in the encode to MPEG2.
    I do such productions in FCP or Motion, using a timeline setting that corresponds to the finsihed product's needs. Export the rendered movie as self-contained, take that to DVDSP direclty or through Compressor to MPEG2.

  • Create DVD with DVD Studio Pro with Flash Content

    I'd like to create a DVD that will run like usual on a DVD player and TV, but that could contain flash files that would run on a computer. Is there a way to do this?

    Another app is Sonic eDVD if you want to be able to launch files from the interface. Both have a lot of cons though... You can just add ROM data for the user to browse if you want to too.
    You can autorun the flash content if you want, so the user see's it on the PC and not the DVD-Video when the disc is put it,

  • RSL Error 3 of 3 - Is this problem to do with Flash Player?

    In trying to access sailing screens on www.sailonline.org I get the message "RSL Error 3 of 3", with the following at the foot of the page.
    "Flex Error #1001: Digest mismatch with RSL http://www.sailonline.org/static/windy/framework_3.5.0.12683.swf. Redeploy the matching RSL or relink your application with the matching library."
    There is discussion on this in the sailonline site, but the solutions suggested have not worked for me.  I see also similar being discussed elsewhere on internet.
    Does anyone know about this?

    "Flex Error"  would indicate that the problem lies within the SWF.
    A "workaround" that may work is listed here: https://success.salesforce.com/answers?id=90630000000gxC9AAI, but the posters also acknowledge that the problem is in the content and not the Player.

  • Solution for "Firmware problem" Zen Touch with Media Player 11 and Windows XP

    Hello,?I like to share this information about my troubles with updating my Zen Touch. At first my Media Player would not detect my Zen Touch. As I hoped the update of the firmware would solve my problem I started a firmware update. Unfortunatly it went wrong as a result the Zen unit did not boot anymore an gave a "Firmware problem". Due to this problem I could not reinstall the firmware as Windows XP did not detect my Zen. I was ready to trow the unit out of the window when I found this solution. And it really worked for me. I hope it wil solve your problems too. And many thanks to DG?http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...6280245AAiPliB?Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
    I had the same problem. You don't have to call Creative. You don't have to spend any money. Here's how I fixed it:
    1. If you have Windows Media Player uninstall it and reboot
    2. Uninstall the WMP Runtime format from add/remove programs ( you may have to check the "show updates" box) and reboot
    3. With the Zen Touch connected, go to Device Manager and uninstall it and then unplug the USB cable.
    4. Uninstall ALL Creative software including the Zen drivers and then Reboot
    5. From Device Manager, uninstall ALL USB root hubs and reboot
    6. Plug in the Zen and wait for windows to detect it. In my case windows showed it as "Creative Zen" and then changed it to "MTP Device."
    7. Run the firmware update again. It should go ahead and update now.
    You can reinstall WMP if you want after this. Be sure to get the latest version from microsoft's website.
    Hope this hel
    ps.

    Thanks for sharing this with us!

  • Problem playing mp4 with StageVideo using Air 3.8 and 3.9

    I have spent days pulling my hair out trying to get a mp4 video to play on my iPad or iPhone using StageVideo. I have tried numerous examples on the web that all claim to work and none of them would work on my devices. Note I was testing with Air 3.9
    This morning I tried a sample someone had kindly uploaded to the web that had the Air settings set to Air 3.7 and wow and behold it works.
    Changing the version of Air to 3.8 or 3.9 stops it working. This is the case when testing in the Flash CS6 IDE and on the iPad.
    So is there a bug in Air 3.8 and 3.9 or has there been a change in how StageVideo is implenented?
    If anyone has managed to play mp4 using StageVideo and Air 3.8 or 3.9 please let me know and if you are able to paste the code even better.
    Here is a link to the example I am using

    Thank you for replying to my post. I am pleased I am not going mad and that it is not just me having these issues.
    When I displayed some debugging info on screen with regards the NetStatus events. I had the following scenario:
    NetStream.Play.Start
    NetStream.Buffer.Full
    NetStream.Play.Failed
    NetStream.Play.Stop
    I have not tested with Air 4.0 but sounds like this is also not working from reading the bug report. Seems a pretty major bug which is why I assumed I must be doing something wrong.
    Let me know if Air 3.7 works for you.
