'Supported Dvd not available'

that is the message I see in the DVD Player when I try to watch a Dvd. I tried a few commercial dvds and some blank dvds. Same thing with 'MacTheRipper', the dvd isn't recognized. CDs are ok.
In disk utility I can see the dvd only in the sidebar.
This is on my 3days old macmini coreduo 1.66 with superdrive.
Who can help me or has encountered same problems?
Thank you

I've used MacTheRipper, used DVD-Rs, DVD+R DLs, and burned same. Looks like you have a bad DVD drive. All newer Macs can read DVDs at a minimum, most can write.

    I have ALL the exact same symptoms as on my home computer.
    It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc.

  • One Step DVD in Mac OS X DVD Player = "Supported disc not available"

    I created a few simple movies in iMovie HD 6 and burned them in iDVD 6 as One Step DVDs from the iMovie Project file using Verbatim 2x DVD-R discs. The final DVDs have no trouble playing in my standard component DVD players, however they won't play on any of my Macs. I get a "Supported Disc Not Available" error message when I launch DVD Player.
    Is there a compatibility problem between DVD Player and DVDs burned with iDVD??

    My version of DVD Player is 4.6.5 which works fine, but I don't EVER make OneStep DVDs. Check your version.

  • DVD Player problem - "supported disk not available" ?

    Hi all,
    Running DVD Player 4.6.5 on Tiger. Up until a while, everything was fine. Now, it won't play any DVD. It starts when I insert a DVD, but does not start playing automatically (which is what the setting currently is). When I start playing manually, all I get is the message "Supported Disk Not Available" with a stop sign beside it.
    Any suggestions/ideas/things to look into?
    Thanks,
    Simon

    Mine does this on occasion.
    Haven't figured out what the problem is but restarting fixes it.
    Can't get it to repeat the problem enough to troubleshoot it.
    I posted a year ago but no responses.

  • DVD will not play and states "supported disk not available" and makes a weird noise and then ejects the dvd

    My MacbookPro is only 5 months old and in really good condition. The only problem I am encountering is that when I insert any type of dvd disc, it starts to make this weird grinding noise that goes eeee-eeee, and then does that a couple of times and then the disc ejects on its own. When i try to play it with idvd, it does the same noise thing and then iDvd state "supported disk not available". The dvd does not even read on the computer.

    If only five months old it is still under warranty. Take it back.

  • Dvd error message on mac supported dic not available?

    Commerically available but ordered via Amazon  CD or DVD gives me this error message  "supported disc not available" 

    Not sure of your precise question, but if your Mac is having trouble playing a commercial DVD (video) and having trouble with audio CDs, then it sounds like a hardware problem, ie, your optical drive (CD/DVD) isn't working right.  Are you trying to play a DivX disk?  BluRay?
    This forum is focused on creating DVDs with iDVD software.  Other forums focus on hardware, playing DVDs with Apple's DVD Player, etc.

  • Supported disc not available; i.e. imac not recognizing "burned" dvd

    After using iDVD, and not being able to create a finished dvd from an iMovie project with my 1000mz iMac, I had to use my daughter's 1.4 gz iBook, and successfully burned a disc image.
    After I burned a DVD from the disc image, it played fine in my home DVD player, and the iBook from which it was created. However, when I put the disc in my iMac, the disc was not readable within DVD player. I kept getting the following message:
    "supported disc not available".
    Although the name of the DVD appeared on the desktop, DVD player could not play the contents of the DVD. After visiting the Apple store, the "genius" suggested the super drive in the iMac is very sensitive, and after age, may not read all discs.
    Now my question:
    If i need to upgrade to a MacBook (so I have a faster processor to finish DVD projects), and the finished discs are not readable in my iMac, does this all make any sense? Is there another explanation as to why the finished disc was not readable in my iMac, yet was readable in 6 other Macs at the Apple Store? Could it be the media (I doubt), the super drive in the iMac, or the way in which the disc was burned using the iBook? (I used "Toast" to burn the dvd, not apple's "disc utility" .Any advice is most appreciated.

    Is there another explanation as to why the finished disc was not readable in my iMac, yet was readable in 6 other Macs at the Apple Store? Could it be the media (I doubt)
    Yes it could be the media....some drives don't like some kinds of media. You might find if you switch, things get better. I like verbatim. Is it a DVD-R or DVD+R? How old is your iMac?

    the super drive in the iMac
    Yes it could be that too. Could even be a dirty/dusty lens in the iMac. If it's not working now, I'd try a CD/DVD lens cleaning disk. Some users don't like these and think they can damage things, but not me. But use at your own risk.
    or the way in which the disc was burned using the iBook?
    Since it worked well in many other players, it sounds like you've got a pretty good burn. But I said pretty good. You can get better burns if you burn at slower speeds - I use Toast at 1X when I want the "best" burn. I doubt Toast is the problem though, just maybe the speed of the burn.
    DVD compatibility is still not where it should be for home computers, Macs or PCs.

  • HT2499 why does my dvd player all of sudden say "supported disc not available" for dvds i have played in the past

    My dvd player has been displaying "support disc not available" for all dvd's that i put in that just weeks ago were playing fine. ive tried cleaning the player and that did nothing...dont know what to do

    I'm having the same problem lately.  I have a mid 2010 21.5" iMac with an internal SuperDrive running Yosemite.  I tried putting in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and "The Giver" rented from RedBox.  Both spin sputter for a bit and then eject the disk back out.  So, it never mounts and no software (Finder, Disk Utility, DVD Player) ever gets a chance to see it.  Both play fine in a 15 year old DVD player, and my purchased copy of "The Dark Knight" mounts just fine in the iMac.  So, I have to assume that something is being done to the DVD's that rental companies are given to prevent them from mounting or something.
    Not having any luck on Google trying to confirm that.
    I guess I need to amend this.  Both DVD's play fine in a early 2011 13" Macbook Pro with the internal SuperDrive.  It's running Mavericks still and has a "MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-8A8".  The iMac has a "OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H".  Not sure if it's the drive, the OS, or what (although I will say I'm fairly certain I was having this problem on the iMac before Yosemite, so it's probably not the OS).

  • CONSTANT "Supported Disc Not Available" message when trying to play DVDs

    Does anyone have any idea what the **** is going on with Leopard!? Specifically, whenever I insert a DVD to play it in DVD Player 5.0, i almost always encounter the message "Supported Disc Not Available". At first I thought perhaps it was that I was trying to use some DVD encoded or burned with really new technology or something but then thought that that wouldn't be the problem since Leopard was just released and well after the most recent video DVD formats. Furthermore, the DVDs in question were released years ago. That said, what the **** is going on. I've verified and repaired disk permissions millions of times. I've tried restarting, shutting down and waiting then restarting...nothing seems to help. Can anyone advise?

    Hi everybody, I have experienced that frustration also. I don't clearly know why the message appears, however I know that it happens with discs burnt form a computer (just like ronanocallaghan said). I haven't found a way to solve the precise moment, however THERE IS a way around it. When you open DVD Player instead of clicking on "Play" go to File > Open DVD Media. Once the dialog box appears select the DVD, select the folder inside the DVD most likely called "VIDEO_TS" and click open. This way the DVD Player will successfully find the movie or whatever you are trying to see. I don't know the reason but hey, it works. Another weird thing is that this just happens in the computer because if you try to play it in a DVD it doesn't give not error! Hope it helps and i'll keep finding the reason of why it doesn't work!

  • Trying to play DVD movie... Supported Disk Not Available.

    The DVD works on my home DVD player and also my Windows machine. I get an error saying "Supported Disk Not Available".
    Any suggestions?

    I have been experiencing this since couple of days. I have installed a Pioneer DVR-112 quite recently and have also tried out PatchBurn.
    I have resolved my problem at least for now by removing all PatchBurn profiles.
    Since I am thinking that this is a sporadic issue, I am not sure whether this has eliminated the problem.

  • Why does the DVD player say "supported disc not available?"

    So, regular DVDs will play and are recognized on my Macbook Pro, but I'm trying to play a recordings DVD (for a music literature class) and the DVD player says "supported disc not available." The DVD is supposed to work on my operating system since it's the newest one, but I don't know how to fix the problem! Please help!
    Thanks!

  • IDVD - "supported disk not available"

    When I rip a disk using MTR and burn it using DVD2One or Disk Utility, I get a message "supported disk not available" when I try to play in iDVD. This has started happening after a few dozen successful burns.
    I also cannot find a guide to error messages for Disk Utility.

    Yes, you're right. I did mean DVD player. Good catch. DVD2One (always an adventure!) does compress to 4.33 GB so the file fits on a standard DVD RW. Since you mention it, the problem started when I opened a new pack of DVDs, Memorex in this case. But some worked fine. I just put in a new blank disk and Disk Utility is saying capacity is 0 bytes, write ability is read only. Does that indicate a bad disk? If so, I have a lot of them. I've heard good things about Toast, but I was avoiding the $100 cost, since DVD2one is supposed to burn, and I already spent about $60 for that. Wish I hadn't. Thanks for the insight, Glenn. Anything else that comes to mind, I'd appreciate hearing.
