When I place a CD or DVD into the laptop I can hear the DVD multi working but the default Windows Media Player does not respond. All other computer functions OK. Whats up? Thanks, MDO

Is DLA enabled on your drive? I've seen that cause some pretty strange problems.
Right click on the drive icon and look for a DLA tab.

Dvd audio burn.

I would like to burn the audio from a music dvd and be able to play the music on my ipod and iphone. Is this possible. Thanks.
Tim.

Lots of DVD players will play files like MP3 and MP4 (AAC) from DVDs. It depends on the player. This is essentially the same thing as an MP3 CD, just that you're using DVD media.
This is not to be confused with DVD-Audio, however. It is possible to burn such discs with OS X now, and user Kay Marczoch (hi Kay!) has done so succussfully using some obscure software. It's been a while since I read his post about this, so I can't remember all the details. However, there's not much point in creating a DVD-Audio disc if you don't have multi-channel source files to begin with...
EDIT: Funny that Kay should post within a minute of me mentioning his name

DVD audio burning question

Hi. [Sorry, I'm new here incase it's in the wrong catagory]
I'm a switcher from PCs to a Mac.
I've got a question; I have some audio files that are in a 6 channel DTS audio format. Is there a way I can burn them on a DVD and preserve the DTS audio? I bought Final Cut Studio 2 with my Mac and it's saying that it doesn't recognize the files.
Any help I can get would be great.
Thanks a lot!

Hey Kevin
Toas should allow you to "copy" a DVD from one drive to another, so I'd put the master into your Mac, and the blank DVD into your new drive, open Toast, click the "Copy" tab, and you should be good to go.

Illustror CC Alt-Shift (to duplicate and resize etc) functionality no longer working.

Any help as to why this simple shortcut is suddenly not working in Illustrator CC?
I try to use it to duplicate an empty circle with a coloured path while scaling it down (with the intention of using Ctrl D to continue the progression). The shortcut simple resizes the path without duplicating it. Please help.
Many thanks,
Paul.

Did it ever work in that context?
It works within the scale tool, but with the bounding box it scales to the center.

Problem with Burning DVD/Audio

iMovie HD version 5.0.2. I have been editing movies and burning DVDs for more than a year and have not encountered this problem before. When I play my latest movie, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the music that I imported in only one of the audio tracks. However, when I try to burn a DVD, the video encoding proceeds as usual but the audio encoding stalls when it appears to be about 90% complete. I have produced movies that are 2 hours long and have not run into this problem. The current movie is a little over 1 hour long, so I don't think the length is a problem.
Background info: As in the past, the source of the movie I am editing is a DVD that Walmart converted from old video films. I CINEMATIZED the DVD which I have done in the past to be able to edit the movie. When I copied the WALMART version of the movie, I only imported/copied the video portion and NOT the audio.
I hope this explanation of my problem is detailed enough. I am not very technologically educated so I am limited in my ability to explain the details.

Hi
May be this applies.
*No audio on DVD disc.*
Most common origin:
1 Imported audio from iTunes:
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
Before burning the DVD:
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If OK:
• Make Your DVD - or -
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool - and at an as slow speed as possibly eg x1
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Here's what the Help Menu offers:
Exporting a movie to iDVD
Once your movie is ready for viewing, iMovie HD can automatically export it to an iDVD project that you can burn on a DVD. You can then view your DVD on a television using a DVD player or on your computer screen using the Apple DVD Player.
Note: Before you export your movie to iDVD, you can add chapter markers to it so that viewers can quickly review different sections of the movie on DVD. If you've added chapter markers, they are exported with your movie, and you can use them to add scene selection menus to your iDVD project.
Not all computers support iDVD. See your computer's manual to find out if your computer does.
To export your movie to iDVD:
Choose Share > iDVD.
Click the "Share selected clips only" checkbox if you only want to share clips you selected.
Click Share.
iDVD opens and your movie appears in a new project in iDVD.
For more information about using iDVD, choose Help > iDVD Help when iDVD is open.
After you have addressed the above then follow this:

How do i burn an audio dvd in my thinkpad x-201 with ulthinkpad trabase and dvd/cd burner/ player

hello,,
would someone please point me to directions about how to burn a dvd audio disc. i've looked at various lenovo sites, but no luck [i don't even know the how-to basics, so pls excuse my ignorance]. there doesn't appear to be any application/program for burning dvds and cds on this machine.
using windows xp pro, sp3, thinkpad x-201 with x200 ultrabase and dvd/cd burner/ player
thank you.

hi, thanks for your earlier reply. here's a clarification of my question:
i have a cd with music from an album mix. because a cd lacks enough space to copy the entire album, i would like to burn it on a dvd, which has more than enough space.
do i simply copy the cd into windows media player's library, and then burn it from media player to a dvd?
or, is there a cd/dvd burner available from some manufacturers? i seem to recall roxio or nero as software that will give me what i want.
my lenovo x201 thinkpad rests on an ultrabase that has dvd/cd burners.
i am so confused.
again, thanks for replying.

After burning movie onto dvd it won't play on players despite being compatible (-R and -RW) the disc is either not recognised or it only plays audio. Am I missing a stage in finalising the movie onto DVD? The movies is 30mins long.

DvD burned with project from iMovie not playing back on compatible players. Aaaargh!

Hi
There are several things that do this:
- Brand of DVD used
- Type of DVD used
- BURN SPEED
- Material used
- Free space on Start-Up Hard Disk
I use:
Verbatim, SL-DVD-R, x2 max x4 Burn Speed and never less than 25Gb free space on Macintosh HD
Material:
- Video Codec: StreamingDV, AIC or HDV
- Photo file format: .jpg - NEVER .bmp or other - all converted to this
- AUDIO file format: - .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - NO .mp3 or DIRECT FROM iTUNES ! - all converted to .aiff
Then I've near to Zero problems.

Does someone know when our movie project and finally our iDVD project is done, can we erase the clip that we had imported in iMovie without danger? Or we have to keep the clip in iMovie until the DVD are burn?

Hi
Most processes in Non destructive Video editing is based on that the raw-material is safe and intact. So by trashing it most things can or will go wrong.
So e.g. in iMovie project - there is NO Movie - just a small text document refering to Your raw-material, audio files and photos (within or not in iPhoto Library) on how they are to act together to Play Your Movie.
And by changing any of them the Movie project will be affected or destroyed.
reg. iDVD there is also a link back to iMovie - Most famous to set of the iDVD BUG !
To do that - one starts a new iDVD project and add movies etc. Then find something i one movie in need to be adjusted. Closing iDVD and returning to iMovie and doing this. Then when back to iDVD it will notice and ask You to Up-date or Cancel. Neither works. The iDVD project is harmed. All Chapters now point to Chapter One and more strange things happens.
the medicine I use - I start a brand new iDVD Project and re-do it and hopefully not fine any more to be fixed in the movie.
This indicates the strong link inbetween iDVD and iMovie and I would not touch anything in iMovie till DVD is Burned and Ready AND Plays Well !

DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:

On another machine (specs unknown, it's a "house pc") I got this (with 3 entries!):

(Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
Cheers,
Russ.

Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs. When I put the DVD into another computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. What's preventing songs from being ripped?

Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs from my iTunes library to share with a friend. When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Anybody know what's preventing me from ripping what's on the DVD?

When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes.
The import command only works with audio CDs. So if you burned the files in mp3 format, try instead using the "File > Add file to library" or "File > Add folder to library" commands.

Logitech external USB DVD reader/burner model LDR-PMD8U2LBK not recognized.

Got a external USB DVD reader/burner Logitech model LDR-PMD8U2LBK.
I plug the device, use the adapter but nothing happens. I tried to boot the computer with the driver plugged in, again, nothing. If I put a DVD in the driver, I hear the machine buffer but on the screen, nothing. Checked all the view options, everything is selected. It doesn't appear in the Disk Utility neither. Tried to open a DVD with VLC Player, to no avail. Checked on Logitech's site, there are no drivers for this driver. The seller told me that it should be compatible with my black macbook, I guess there is still a possibility that it is not...

You shouldn't need drivers for a USB or Firewire connected external device.

I bought the external DVD player/burner for my Macbook. I tried using it with my Dell laptop but it will not work. Is it not configured to work with anything but apple operating systems?

If you purchased the Apple USB SuperDrive, it will only work with select Apple devices. It won't work, for example, on my Late 2011 model that has a SuperDrive built-in, but it will work with an Air, Retina model, new 'drive-less' iMacs, etc.
As far as I know, though, you can only hack the drive to work with some other Apple devices, but not with Windows PCs. Which is a shame as other, less expensive DVD/CD devices will work with just about any machine.
Sorry,
