Samsung SH-222BB DVD burner to works with OS 10.4.11 ???

I have this internal SH-222BB DVD Burner connected to G4 Power PC Mac thru SATA to IDE adapter rear mounted.  It came with original PC firmware SB00, it will plays movies disk fine, but will NOT burn anything, no CD, DVD, iTune crash if try to burn, etc.  Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to install a firmware that will burn disk using a Mac?  I try most current PatchBurn, still not working either.  Here the profile on this burner:

"Have you able to make PC Burner works on a Mac?"
As BDAqua pointed out, many users have successfully replaced the original DVD drives with a third-party brand (Pioneer being the most-favored for a long time).  Most (if not all) of the optical drives discussed for use in the older Macs have an ATAPI interface.  I really think that your SATA burner connected with a SATA-to-IDE adapter is causing your problems.  If possible, I'd recommend removing the TSST burner and installing a different brand (Pioneer, LG, LiteOn, etc.) ATAPI DVD±RW drive in your G4.  Hopefully, this will eliminate the compatibility issues that you're experiencing.

  • La Cie external DVD burner not working with OSX 10.5.2

    Every time I try to burn a DVD with my external drive I get an error message sayng that the connection is not stable. I have double checked all my connections and everything is fine yet I cannot burn DVDs or CDs. Any ideas????

    I have had the burner for about 2 years and was working fine. Worked even after I upgraded to OSX 10.5. Tried to use it the other day, and this problem occurred. Not sure if it happened after the update to 10.5.2.

  • External DVD burner that works with Mavericks?

    I see a lot of options in the $25 to $50 range from the likes of Samsung, Buffalo, LG, etc..
    But I need one that is compatible with my late-2012 Mini running Mavericks.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Any external disc drive will work. I would recommend you to get one that works over USB or FireWire, so you won't have any compatibility issue

  • My Samsung SE-S084F dvd burner, used with lion for months is now suddenly unsupported. Why?

    My Samsung SE-S084F dvd burner, used with lion for months is now suddenly unsupported... how can it be possible? I can now read cd/dvd but trying to burn them gives me "Internal error". Disk Utility report: "Burn support: not supported".
    I burned my last dvd three days ago, running lion 10.7.3. The only thing I can think of is a software update done few days ago, something about java.
    Samsung says that lion isn't officially supported, but i've used it a lot and I know it works…
    Things that i've tried:
    1) reboot
    2) firmware update
    3) many different burning software including "drutil" from the shell
    4) I've tested the device on another computer (ubuntu 11) and it works like a charm
    Additional information (drutil info):

    Any tips? Thanks.

    Adding other info, it's getting even more weird...
    I've tried booting from an old snow leopard backup, and surprise... the devise still doesn't work!!! same error!
    It doesn't make any sense...
    It's not broken but both SL and Lion on my MBP refuse to burn DVDs (they both burned a lot of them with that device in the past).
    Same thing using the other USB burner borrowed by a friend, so i'm sure it's not a cable problem... what does remain? Mac's USB hardware failure? Impossible. On my SL backup there was installed Parallels desktop with an old ubuntu virtual machine configured, i've tried burning from it and it worked...
    OSX (LS or Lion) + My MBP + USB Burner = fail
    Ubuntu + My MBP + USB Burner = success
    Ubuntu + Another computer + USB Burner = success
    The could be some "broken" low level hardware bounded parameters, used only by OSX. I've already wiped NVRAM and PRAM, are there any other things i can try to wipe?

  • DVD burning not working after upgrading to 10.5.1

    Hi,
    I just purchased a macbook and found that dvd burning stopped working after upgrading to mac os 10.5.1. I went back to 10.5 and now it works without problems. Since so far I haven't experience problems with 10.5, I will continue using it.
    Anyway, I just wanted to let other users know about this problem. I didn't find any references about it in the forum.
    Best wishes,
    Manuel

    Hi,
    I just got DVD burning to work under 10.5.1. I had originally formatted the OS-X partition as "case sensitive". Today I reformatted the partition as a regular Mac-os journaled partition, re-installed leopard and the upgrade, and now DVD burning works fine. I am not 100% sure, but it seems that using the case sensitive format caused the problem.

  • Getting an External CD/DVD Burner to Work Properly

    Hello!  This is a little bit of a tricky problem, but hopefully you can help me fix it.
    I have a (very old) 15' Macbook Pro which I've upgraded with an SSD and OS X 10.6.8.  The only problem I'm currently having is getting an external CD/DVD burner to work correctly.
    The CD/DVD drive on the computer itself is broken (it will not load CDs), but it is powered and makes noise when I press the eject button.  As such, I went out and bought this external drive.
    The drive works properly- I was even able to use it to boot from my install CD and use disk utility to create a backup of my computer.  CDs/DVDs loaded into it are recognized and work perfectly.
    The issue I have is that the unit will not burn CDs.  I've tried using both the native iTunes burner and my copy of Toast Titanium to burn CDs, but it never works properly.  Whenever I try, the external unit spins up, the progress bar starts moving.... and eventually an error message comes up.  Whenever I use Toast I can select the drive to use, but it seems to be automatically overriding whatever I select and trying to get the internal (broken) drive to burn the CD, since the internal drive starts making noise.  Additionally, whenever I check the CDs I tried to burn, nothing has actually been done and the CDs still show up as being blank.
    My question is- are there any settings in OS X that would disable the internal drive and get the external drive to properly burn CDs?  Thanks!

    Ah!  Yeah, I didn't even see that- thanks for the heads up!  Unfortunately, my Macbook only has one USB port on each side, and the cable on the external drive won't reach.  I have a USB hub I've been using, but I suspect the unit isn't getting enough power with that on there since it spins up, the disc will mount, and then quickly disappear.  I think I'll try and hunt down an extended USB cord or something.
    I also contacted Amazon about trying to find a proper DC adapter for the unit, but they couldn't help me at all.

  • External DVD drive not working with Lombard G3 333

    I have an external DVD drive that worked when I had 10.4, but had to reformat HD and now only have 10.3.9, and now the DVD drive does not work with DVDs, it will work with CDs and CDR media, but not with DVD media. My Lombard did not come with DVD originally and I am using a PC Card (Macintosh PowerBook DVD-Video PC Card For PowerBook G3 Series) and it worked before with 10.4, but not with 10.3, any ideas? Also have tried with 9.x, no go either. Any help would be appreciated.
    Also, would it be difficult to add a DVD logic board to my Lombard?
    Joey

    xamdu,
    I am reading and replying to this post after first replying to your other post, so a few of my previous comments are redundant.
    Regarding the FireWire(?) USB 2.0(?) DVD drive: It is possible Tiger supported your DVD drive but Panther does not. I would give PatchBurn for Panther a try:
    http://patchburn.de/download.html
    If the above is unsuccessful, take a look at this workaround:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040330171655882
    You can swap logic boards but it does require a lot of disassembly.
    Since no version of OSX supports Apple DVD Player, I am assuming you have a third-party player like VLC installed to watch movies. If this is the case, the DVD Decoder PC card is not necessary. If booted to 9.x, you of course will need the decoder PC card but I did not know 9.x's Apple DVD Player supported external drives.

  • What internal DVD+/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304

    Can anyone give me an answer to what internal DVD+/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304.
    I've been told a SDR-6012 or a UJ-820 DVD+/-RW might work.
    Please help
    Thanks
    Lee

    Hi
    Did you check the user manual of the P10 Satellite?
    Sometimes the compatible CD/DVD drives can be found in the user manual which should be installed on your notebook.
    If you dont have the user manual then you could download it from the Toshiba page.
    However, if you will not find the right info in the user manual then I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country for details.
    Usually you could order a supported drive from these guys.
    Its important that you know what drives are compatible due to the different master\slave\c-sel settings.
    Bye and good luck

    how to get LG BE14NU40 Blue Ray Burner to work with FCP X or Compressor??

    Hello Ron,
    First up, you don't have to use Compressor to burn a Bluray Disc.
    FCP X can do this with it's own built-in software. Compressor of course can do the job.
    In my experience some burners work and some don't.
