T2000 DVD-ROM ejecting DVD

Hello,
I am having this little annoying problem. I am installing Sol 10 OS onto the brand new T2000 but every time I reboot or reset the server the install DVD gets ejected and I have to re-insert it. I don't remember having this problem on any other servers with Solaris installed. Is there a setting to change this behavior?
thanks,
GE

DVD ROMS Ejecting after start up.

System Configuration:
CPU: 2.5 Ghz P4
Motherboard: Motherboard- MSI 865PE Neo2-V (V Class)
Chipset 865PE + ICH5 Chipset base
RAM: 500 Mb
Video Card: ATI Radeon 9200 SE
Operating System: Windows XP home edition
Nb. Two DVD drives connected master & slave on IDE2
I have an unusual situation. Please help. I have run out of ideas.
Dilemma
1. I boot up my system.
2. I click to enter my desktop environment (3 other users share this PC).
3. My system starts to load my processes.
4. While loading the processes my DVD drive door(s) shoots out in the open position. Sometimes both shoot out together and sometimes only one.
5. If I go into my windows explorer, I notice that the drive letters for the two drives are missing. I then have to reload them by using “my computer” management area. If I do not do this my applications will tell me that no drive exists. I have a DVD ROM and a DVD RW.
Other observations:
The drives never go missing in device manager. The drives only go missing in windows explorer if the DVD doors open. Sometime the doors may stay shut and everything is well. Sometimes the problem is frequent and sometimes it seems to have gone away.
Been there done that:
1.   I unloaded all DVD burner software
2.   I changed the IDE ribbon cable
3.   I unloaded the CD/DVD drivers and rebooted
4.   I disconnected one DVD at a time and rebooted.
5.   I checked for viruses using Norton 2005 (with latest definitions)
6.   I checked my application/disc integrity using Norton Win Doctor
7.    I Joined this forum for help

Update:
10.   I swapped around the cables going to the IDE ports on the motherboard. Switched ROMS to IDE 1 and switched HD to IDE 2
11.   I dismounted the virtual drive in CD Anywhere manager.
Problem disappears after I “only” completely remove cd Anywhere:
I completely removed the cd Anywhere software. Also using cdacleaner.exe and removing the registry entries as instructed by the supplier. The problem did not return.
Stop the clock –solution found.
I have an application called CD Anywhere that starts up at the beginning of loading. Only after I disabled this process that the problem with the DVD drives ejecting was resolved. I contacted the supplier about the problem and they furnished me with a fix, so far so good, everything is working fine. If you are wondering what CD Anywhere is, it’s a virtual drive software for convenient loading of CD images without the hassle of physically loading the original cd. Its supplied by a company called Vcom.

I have a DVD-Rom and DVD-Video card for Powerbook and need advice

I acquired 2 accessory components for a G3 series powerbook. I have a dual G4 so have no use for them. There is a M4743 DVD-Rom for Powerbook and a DVD-Video PC card for G3 series Powerbook family M5163. There is also a software CD. I would like to sell them but I really don’t how to explain what this stuff does. I tried Ebay and did not find any matches. Does this make a DVD upgrade for a particular Powerbook? Is something else required? Is Ebay the best place to sell? Any idea what this stuff is worth? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Bob

Robert,
You apparently have the DVD Video Player Kit for the Powerbook G3 Series "Wallstreet" M4753.
This is the DVD-ROM module:
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/customer/product.php?productid=16219&cat=26 6&page=1
This is the DVD Decoder PC card:
http://www.ifixit.com/cart/customer/product.php?productid=296&cat=&page=1
The above DVD PC card is not Apple's but there were two third-party vendors who also offered a DVD kit...VST and MCE. They all served the same purpose and will all be priced similarly.
Both PC card and optical drive are required to play DVD movies on the Wallstreet, plus Apple DVD Player is only supported when booted to 9.x, not 10.x.
I really cannot give you a fair price to ask; the above hardware prices are probably high but you will get an idea.

Director projects on DVD ROM and DVD video

Hi all,
I need your attention and your aid to solve a doubt and a
job. I've to create a DVD Video that plays on dvd home players and
on macs and windows computers, with dvd readers. Moreover I need
that the same DVD contains a directors project (the same project
for mac and win system) that start automatically, when the dvd is
inserted in a dvd reader of a computer.
Is it possible?
Does director make it (DVD video + DVD rom with a directors
project?
Director vs DVD Studio Pro in order to obtain a master DVD
hybrid (DVD video + DVD rom with a directors project)?
Thanks for your attention,
Mirone

Wahey!!! That's me!!! Crikey I don't remember posting to that
forum!?!
Anyway, back to your problem - as already noted there really
isn't an
elegant way of solving it! You quite literally have to whack
everything into
one folder - when it comes to hybrid DVD-Videos there's no
'nice partitions'
as we have with hybrid CD-ROM I'm afraid!
The route I took was to develop the DVD-Video and add the
Director Windows
projector and its gubbings via the ROM content folder [used
Encore - but
DVDSP isn't too far apart].
Also within this DVD-ROM folder lay a Mac disc image [DMG] of
our Director
Mac projector with it's associated Xtras, etc. - with enough
time on my
hands I could easily have added asset sharing but time was
tight to say the
least and I knew I had lots and lots of space on the DVD so
basically
packaged all the assets together with the projector within
the
aforementioned Mac disc image. I also added a PDF + text
document at the DVD
root level explaining to Mac users that they would have to
mount the
included Mac disc image to gain access to the data side of
the disc.
As it's been pointed out already it isn't pretty and it isn't
elegant,
but... it works!! I was also advised by our replicator's that
this is the
"safest" way to go. Yes you could try the Mac partitions
route but there
really is NO guarantee that all standalone DVD players are
capable of
reading the final disc - I wasted numerous coasters with such
ideas and it
was very, VERY hit and miss!
If you've a wide DVD-Video collection take a look around at
some of the
titles that hold ROM content as well and you'll find that the
big studios
also produce their DVD's in the same fashion, for example
[off the top of my
head] the Matrix trilogy are produced in this way.
Good luck...

DVD player ejects dvds and won't play

i upgraded to snow leopard and added memory to my macbook and now the dvd player just ejects dvd's. not sure if it's related. help please!

Did you use the retail 10.6 installer that looks like . If not, then you used the wrong disc and only that disc will install properly.

Doesn't iBook G3 DVD-ROM read DVD-RW?

I tried to move data from pc to ibook using DVD-RW media. t.
But my ibook DVD doesn't read it but just spits it out. My iBook G3 500 DVD-rom doesn't read DVD-RW? DVD is MATSHITA DVD-ROM SR-8176. Or should I upgrade firmware? Thanks.

Ronda is on the right track.
Which software are you using to write the DVD-RW on the PC?
The problem probably arises as the when the PC writes the DVD-R it uses a standard (ISO 966) which the iBook can read.
When writing the DVD-RW often PC software will format the disk so it acts like a floppy disk. However this proprietary format will only be readable on the PC with the disc writing software, the disc is unreadable, not just on Macs, but also on PCs as well.
How you correct this depends on the software you are using.
I would change the DVD-RW settings or create a disk image using the DVD burning software and then burn that ISO 9660 image to the DVD-RW, this should then be readable by the iBook.

iFelix

DVD-ROM Feature (DVD@ccess)

I recently finished creating a DL DVD and in one of the videos I put a DVD@cces marker to connect to a website. I followed the instructions in many tutorials and books to a tee. I burned the DVD and tried it in my Apple DVD player (after enabling DVD@ccess web links in the preferences) and it doesn't work.
Any thoughts?
One more concern:
Assuming I fix the problem, will this marker work on PC DVD players?
Thanks.

In principle, the idea of DVD@ccess or creating enhanced content DVDs is rather cool. In practice, the experience was never anything but variable. Whilst DVD@ccess seemed to work for Macs, and some PCs the result was never reliable on a PC. Alternative solutions on PCs, including Sonic's eDVD, have also since been abandoned. There is no single standards based system for creating interactive links and that is what is needed for all discs to work.
If you want to put a microsite on a DVD then you can, and you can use a menu screen to inform your viewers that it is there. All that is missing is the ability to click a link in a menu and run the index file. You might get it working for some people, but not for all... but if you include it on a disc then at least there is something there for them to see.
The other thing to consider is that if you do include some HTML pages on your disc, when they are played in an internet enabled PC you can rely on the usual html links to call up further content not based on the DVD.

DVD-ROM created in DVDSP does not show files in Windows

Hello,
I created a DVD-ROM in DVD Studio Pro 4 with the purpose of having a working DVD and also have additional files in that same disk. It all works fine in a Mac; I can watch the DVD, and I can also access the additional files (one .pdf and one .mp4) from the Finder. The DVD also works fine in any DVD player.
However, when I put the disk on a Windows computer, I can only watch the DVD movie, but the additional files DO NOT appear in Windows Explorer. If I open the dvd drive on a Windows computer, there's only the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders, and nothing else.
Does anybody have an idea of what's going on here? PLEASE HELP.
Thank you.

This is an m2v file playing on the windows machine. Of course I would have preferred to run with a mac, but the end display software does not run on a Mac.
Windows Media Player, using the commonly(?) installed Klite Codec Pack which includes and mpeg2 decoder, shows it as having a length of 6:38.
VLC will play it as well, but shows not timecode on a windows machine.
The whole movie is there and I can scrub until the end in WMP. In fact Windows Media Player will play it to the end. And as it hits the end, the timecode should show 10:00 minutes, but it does not, it shows 6:38. On a Mac it shows 10:00 minutes
The end movie is to play in software (Windows Samsung's Magic Info Pro) that loops when the end time code is reached. Which it thinks is 6:38. The only problem is that it loops at 6:38 of the original movie which is not the end of the movie.
Sounds like a relativistic spacetime problem.
Before I get slammed for asking Windows related questions -- I put this in the compressor forum to see if there was some compressor setting I was not enabling, or some tweak that I could do to make an m2v file windows friendly.

My Vaio laptop has stopped detecting DVD ROM

My Vaio laptop has stopped detecting DVD ROM.The DVD drive was there sometimes AND most of the time NOT.i have tried all way of fixing the issue but all in vain. i.e deteting UPPER & LOWER FILTER Or Uninstalling DVD Driver.I dont know what the actual problem is. please Help me. apecs are as follows- SONY Vaio laptopmodel No- SVF15318SNB4GB RAMIntel Core i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHzWin 8.1 single language 64bit OS

Hi saurabhsaini225,
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
Sorry to hear your issue. Let's isolate it by following these troubleshooting steps:
Test the Optical Drive in BIOS, and reset it - Turn off the computer -> press the power button and immediately, tap the F2 key repeatedly. Once in BIOS, go to Boot tab. Look for Boot Sequence and check if the Optical Drive is listed. If not then its already hardware issue. If DVD is listed, try to reset BIOS, go to Exit tab -> Get Default Values -> hit Enter ->Save the changes and Exit.
Power Cycle - Remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds OR, if the battery is not removable, remove all peripherals-> look for a battery off button on the bottom of the laptop -> push the button for 5 seconds -> you may use a safety pin if you see a pinhole.
Run Windows update and Vaio update.
You may also check for the latest drivers and software from Sony's support website based on your location or from where you purchased the unit.
Your Vaio SVF15318SNB is not a U.S. model and we have limited information and we do not have the drivers the support your computer.
For further assistance regarding your concern, please contact the Sony offices/Sony representative offices nearest to your place of residence in Asia Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.
Hope these help.
Thanks,

PE 7 DVD rom access problem

After installation og Premiere elements 7, my DVD rom and DVD burner drive could not be used anymore. Error "cannot load or damaged driver code 39"
Deinstallation did not helped only with window repairpoint to point before installation of Premiere worked, with lost information.
System:
Windows XP home SP3
Dual processor pentium4 2.6 GHz
1 G RAM
Toshiba DVD rom
Nec DVD RW
What causes this problem? And how can I avoid this with installting Premiere 7?

I've never heard of Premiere Elements breaking a drive, Jan. Might be worth a call to Adobe Tech Support though.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbe7d56
Meantime, have you tried refreshing the driver?
Right-click My Computer, select Properties, then Hardware, then Device Manager. Open the CD/DVD devices listing and right-click and uninstall the hardware.
Windows will automatically install fresh ones in a few minutes.
Also, be sure to go to Windows Update and press the Custom button. This will give you access to Microsoft's non-critical updates, which you can then install manually.

Making DVD's not DVD-R's

so netflix and a few other places require DVD's not DVD-R's. What's the difference? Thanks!

Pardon me, David,
When you said in your first reply:
"DVD-R is a type of blank media. If authored properly, it will be a DVD-Video when you're done."
It would be more accurate to say that a DVD-R is it's own format, as Eric stated, and certainly can never be a DVD-Video - even if authored properly. The DVD Forum is very clear that the DVD-Video logo cannot be placed on a DVD-R format disc, because they are not the same format (you can put the DVD-R logo on a DVD-R disc). Mainly this is because these two optical formats are completely different in structure, and because only replicated discs can achieve the reliability in players (which you mentioned) required of a product bearing the DVD-Video logo - the main mass distribution format targeting consumers. That's the short of the story.
And when you said in your second reply:
"A DVD-Video is a DVD disc that contains data that conforms to the DVD-Video standard. Otherwise is wouldn't play in a DVD player. It does not matter whether the disc is burned or replicated."
Again, if the disc was burned, it's not a DVD-Video. It's one of the recordable formats (DVD+R/W is an optical format not recognized by the DVD Forum, but with similar characteristics. It's leadin can contain the DVD_ROM book type bit setting, that can trick players into thinking a replicated disc has been stuck in it, however).
And a DVD-Video disc is a replicated / manufactured disc that has certain lead-in data which a DVD-R can never emulate, because it's lead-in area is glossed over in manufacturing (to prevent bit for bit copying of manufactured DVDs) with set data in its lead-in area. So it's crucial, whether or not a disc has been burned or replicated. Again, only replicated discs can bear the DVD-Video logo.
And when you said:
"DVD-R and DVD+R are types of optical media. They are not a format."
As I (and Eric) mentioned, DVD-R is a format, with books specified for it by the DVD Forum. DVD+RW is also a format, but not specified by the DVD Forum. But yes, DVD-R and DVD+RW and one you forgot - DVD-ROM (replicated DVD-Video) are also all optical media.
There's more to it. You might get on the DVD Forum's website and check on some of these questions.
Take care,

I just put in a dvd rom disc and I can't get it to read or eject

Hello I just inserted a dvd rom disc into my imac and I cant get it to eject or to read

try these steps to get the disc out:
First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
Restart the computer while holding down Command-Option-O-F, to enter the Open Firmware prompt. Type "eject cd" without the quotes, and press return. The disk ought to eject. To start into OS X, type "mac-boot" without the quotes. Press return, and the computer will continue with the startup. (This will not work on an Intel Mac. There is no Open Firmware on Intel Macs. )
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

DVD-rom Scratch my Snow Leopard Disc

Hi All,
my early 08 mbp dvd rom put alot of scratch on my new snow leopard install disc.
although the installation went through smoothly.
I do heard that it was trying alittle hard to read the disc.
In the end i found lot of scratch.
Does anyone experience this before?
maybe a bad dvd rom lens?
Anyhow, I will still contact applecare for this.
Would pleasure if anyone here have similar problem with your dvd rom
please share your story.

Hi everybody,
I'm a new switcher and for that purpose, I bought a beautyfull MBP 2.8 recently (mid 2009).
Beginning with 10.5.8, and of course upgrade to 10.6.
When I was trying to do a clean install yesterday, I was surprised when the SL DVD was not able to mount, with a systematic auto-ejection, and more important, was not able to dvd-boot!
After that I tried with my 10.5.7 DVD installer, for the same result!
After some time, I looked the DVD's and I finally understood the reason: there are a lot of perfects circular scratches on all the DVD'S surface!(not one, but hundreds!)
I have to admit that my superdrive is more a super scratcher than anything else!
Let's go to my reseller now, with a big smile as you can imagine...
