Problems Transcoding DVD TV Box Sets W/DVD Decrypter+Videora

I'm having problems decrypting (with dvd decrypter) and/or transcoding (using videora) Battlestar Galactica.
I realized that for at least two discs, only half of the episodes were converted. (ie for Disc 2, only the last two of four episodes were decrypted/transcoded).
I haven't had any issues with the first full season of Lois & Clark though. The only difference is that I was on another computer using the same two programs and settings.
Is this normal?

If I purchase a box set of iLife and just install the iDVD component on my new iMac should I be able to make a DVD in the format that plays on a TV DVD?

When I recently purchased my first iMac I was disappointed to find that there was no DVD making facility. I want to make a video of photo's and movie clips and then make a DVD that will play on a TV DVD player. I am thinking of purchasing a box set of iLife that includes iDVD and just installing the iDVD component. Can someone please confirm that tyhis will work? If not any suggestions?

If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Installing Box Set SL on new iMac - cannot boot from DVD...

Hi MacHive
I downloaded Lion today but wanted to install SL on a external USB-Partition because there are 2 PPC games I still like to play every now and then (Homeworld 2 and Alpha Centauri). Then I can boot into SL on my external drive and play the games from there, and having Lion and everything else on the internal HD.
So I started the install (after Disk Utility successfully verified the target disk), it succeeded into copying all the required .pkg into place and at the end of the installer log there are the following messages:

At that time, it should restart with the DVD and finish the installation. However, I get the BONG! (good) and the grey apple (good), but then it stops (I never get to the grey moving circle ;-) and soon after, the DVD stops spinning in the drive and nothing progresses anymore.
Retrying to restart normally: same effect. Restarting with "c" key: same effect, restarting with "alt" key - I get my internal HDs and the DVD to choose (but obviously not my target disk), but choosing the DVD results, once more, in the same effect.
The disc has no scratches and I used this disc to install SL successfully some time ago.
Do you know how I can bring SL to the external HD? Is this iMac "too new" to be restarted with the Box Set Mac OS X (supposedly, this is 10.6.0 or so... don't know).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Fabio
PS: I'm running the following (a 2011 i3 iMac):
Jul 30 23:30:14 blop-imac Install Mac OS X[301]: Hardware: iMac11,2 @ 3.20 GHz (x 4), 4096 MB RAM
Jul 30 23:30:14 blop-imac Install Mac OS X[301]: Running OS Build: Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)

Thanks Linc....   In an embarassing lack of concentration I didn't think that I should use the iMac's original disks (10.6.4) and not the box set one (10.6.0 or so). This solved the issue and I could install SL without further troubles. TY again.

Rumor of a DVD box set

I was reading reviews on a box set that's of the Lord of the Rings Extended Editions. It contains all the extended editions of all the movies...I haven't bought it yet. One of the reviews said that this box set of DVDs will not work on Macs...would anyone know if this is true?
P.S. If anyone has it look at the box and tell me what it says...if it says it doesn't work on Macs...
It's actaully called "The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy (Special Extended DVD Edition)"

I'm not much more help because I don't have the boxed set. But here is a news release from Sonic that gives a clue:
http://www.sonic.com/about/press/news/2004/december/dvdkey.aspx
I believe the boxed set also will have the Interactual-enablied DVD-ROM content accessible only by PCs (actually the content is on the Internet, not the DVD but the DVD is required to access it). The reason most of their content doesn't work with Macs (even if you download the Mac version of Interactual Player) is explained here:
http://player.interactual.com/help/support/articles/0144.asp
This has no effect on playing the movies themselves on Macs.

chmod u+s /usr/sbin/fping
I think that error is because fping is not suid. My /bin/ping is also suid, but dvdrip uses fping and you get a message like that if fping is not suid
dvdrip-master
will probably guide you to whatever is causing the error message.
Do not use divx codec if you have a p4, there is a bug and another error message. Xvid is better and it works but divx is set by default.
dvdrip, allows cluster ripping, if you want to rip on in the world, use that.

Color problems playing DVD on DRU840A Burner

Installed DRU840A in a Dell 8200. Can read & write DVD data discs OK. Same for music cd's. But playing DVD produces checkerboard coloror red & green and basically a B&W image. No problems in Device Manager. Set as Cable Select for my system.

Hello Norway,

Problems with DVD Player 3.0.1 in G4/466

Problems with DVD Player in G4/466
Yes, I've a g4/466 with two disks. In the first there's system 9.2.2 and the DVD player goes perfect. In the second I've system 10.2 and the 9.2, and the DVD Player (3.0.1) on the system 10 begins to jump in the dock, but stop and nothing happens, I can't open it...
There's any way to reinstal it form system disks???
Or any download to check the error?
Thanks

1. Try using Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X 10.2 installation disks, and then run the combo updater for your version of Mac OS X and any applicable DVD Player updates.
2. Open the Console application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and look for lines relating to the DVD Player.

On windows 8 and itunes I have importing problems the DVD is only reading the music cd from 1.5x to 4.0x for 95% of the time, it does hit speeds of 30x for the other 5% of the time. Is it a driver issue with the DVD or is it a windows 8 issue?

No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

I was having problems burning DVDs' fro iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK?

I was having problems burning DVDs' from iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault.
I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK? I have seen these with SATA is this the correct cable for my mac?
I have also tried the Mac superdrive but my imac wont recognise it as it's been configured for macbook air and mini mac. I know I can "make" it work by doing something or other in com.apple/plist, but dont want to mess about in there.
I'm also told an external drive would work but does "mac compatible" mean only for air and mini as their own superdrive is or all macs?
Any help appreciated before I convince myself mac is no better than windows pc!

Thanks but this didn't really help.
I can buy the drives at a dozen places but none of them seem to know what connection is correct (SATA etc) and that includes the apple store. It was the store who told me buy the superdrive and all my problems would be over. Wrong! It isn't recognised by imac as it's confifured for air and mini mac. Only way to make it work is as i said in earlier post. (Would you be happy buying a car you were told would start and then discover you have to open the bottome and fiddle to make it go?)
The apple store I would not even consider taking it to. Days without the pc, over priced and don't have a good reputation for actually fixing things!
But thanks

Brand new IPad 3 out of the box - set up problem with Apple ID

Brand new iPad 3 out of the box - set up problem. It says my Apple ID (email address) is already being used. I reset the password successfully but still says I need another Apple ID. Why won't the ID recornize me?

Open current iTunes on your computer. Connect iPhone to the computer with the Lightning USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Sevice and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Hp pavilion dv7. i get a problem of dvd player hp bd-re bt10n.

hp pavilion dv7. i get a problem of dvd player hp bd-re bt10n. it indicated that " windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing."

Hi,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drive is now working.
If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

Has anybody had problems with DVD's burnt with Optiarc drive

I am burning movie DVD's through iDVD. The movie formats are initially QT with PCM sound encoding. They seem to work well on an old Samsung DVD player, but stutter on a brand new Samsung computer. I do understand it could be a problem with the newer computer, but I would like to hear if anyone else has had any problems so I can see if the problem is more widespread.

Any help appreciated

I too am having trouble playing DVDs burned with my Optiarc drive. Sorry I don't have the solution, but I can add a data point to the story about problems with DVDs burned with Optiarc.
My current hardware: mid-2007 24" iMac, built-in Optiarc DVD RW AD-5630A with firmware 1AHM / MMC-3.
My scenario: after making home movies with iMovie '08 and iDVD '08, I either burn to DVD (TDK 16x DVD-R 4.7 GB) straight from iDVD or I save as disc image from iDVD and then burn the disc image from Toast 9. In either scenario, I can play the DVD on my iMac or any other Mac or Windows computer. However, it will not play on my Xbox (original Xbox, not the 360) because it freezes when trying to mount (sometimes the Xbox will not recognize the disc as a DVD, and sometimes it will begin mounting the disc and then freeze before displaying the title menu).
Before I bought my new iMac, I had the same workflow on an older 2003 17" G4 iMac that has a Sony DVD burner, and those discs play fine on all DVD players including my Xbox. To test the hypothesis that something happened to my Xbox around the time that I upgraded to my mid-2007 24" iMac, I burned several DVDs using my older iMac, and they continue to mount and play fine on the Xbox. On both my older and newer iMac, I have Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed, same version of Toast 9, and I burn at the slowest speed (2x) on both. So it seems that the problem can be isolated to the Optiarc DVD burner, but I'm not sure if there are other factors at play here.
I searched the Optiarc site (www.sonynec-optiarc.com) but could not find a firmware update for the AD-5630A. However, I did find this site via Google:
Liggy's and Dee's modified NEC and Optiarc firmwares
http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/en/Optiarc-AD-5630A/
Because I was not sure about the site's reputation or validity of the firmware, I have not tried it yet.

Problem with DVD Player

I inherited this computer and have spent the last couple of months upgrading it. Put a gig of ram in and added a PCI card to help with a multi screen setup but now I have hit my first major head ache. I bought a Pioneer DVR - 104 off of ebay and installed it no problem. The only issue is once I went to test out my dvd feature I found I had no DVD player. I tried updating the system but it would not install it. So I finally was able to get 3.1 off of this site and it won't start up. It just blinks on the dock once and dissapears. I checked the specs and this machine came with the superdrive but my father opted out of it, why I don't know, so there should be no issues with the hardware, can anyone help me on this?

Hi-
I'm sorry the extras is in OS 10.4- my mistake. In OS 10.3, I believe the DVD player is in the main package. I couldn't find it to install seperately. So.......
Let me recap-
1- The DVR reads install discs
2- DVD's won't play because DVD player does not run
3- DVD-R discs show no response
So-
1- The DVR is reading
2- The version of DVD player may not be compatible
3- There is no burn support
To check burn support, in System Profiler, check if under Burn Support "Yes" is showing.
My current thinking is, that since there was no DVR in the origional configuration, you may need to reinstall (Archive and install) the OS 10.3 to get the proper DVD player installed. this should also configure burn support.
The other way to get burn support is to use the patchburn that I gave you the link to.
BUT, I think you should do things one at a time. My advice is to first get the DVR to read, play and burn in that order. There is obviously a problem with DVD player, so, unless some else can advise differently, I would try the Archive and Install of the OS 10.3.
It may also be good to run the OS 10.3.9 Combined Update:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
trying the combined update now wouldn't hurt. If it does not remedy the situation, try the Archive and Install, then update.

Problem With DVD Recover - Wireless Button Addon

Hello,
I am trying to do a full system restore on a Pavilion Dv7-6c667nr laptop.
The restore process run for approx 3 hours before failing.
Error displayed in CTOERROR.flg:

Searching the web/support forms indicated that there is a know error if you try to RECOVER and the Wireless adapter has been turned off.
All hardware on the machine was working prior to this attempted RECOVER..
Steps Tried:
1. Tried to get the wireless adapter enabled without any success. Hitting the F12 key does not cause the light to switch from yellow to blue.
2. Successfully booted Linux Live CD Operating system and the wireless card came up correctly.
3. I assumed my Recovery media had problems and order a new set from HP, same problem.....
4. Uninstalled the wireless card from the laptop and tried a fresh recover.
Does anyone have any ideas of other things to try?????????
Does anyone know what a system recover takes 3+ hours on this piece of junk?????
I am beyond frustrated...... Why does a single drive/service failing to load cause the entire install process to abort??...

The only reference I can find to the error message in the report in the original post is that the wifi card was not enabled and triggered the failure of the recovery. However, you stated that your wifi was indicated as on during your recovery. If your report is showing the same message, then taking out the wifi card for the recovery should allow it to continue since that is where it's failing. Once the recovery is completed, the wifi card can be reinstalled and it should work at that point.
Page 56 of this details how to remove the wifi card should you need it.
