Tecra M5: UJ-841s not recognised as DVD/RW by any burning software

I have seen on other posts that it is common for the drive to be identified in the Device Manager as a DVD-RAM (which is what is happening) but my DVD Multi-recorder (on a Tecra M5) is not recognised by any DVD burning software.
Is there an update or driver I should have?
Thanks

Hi
My first question: Do you use the Toshiba OS from the Toshiba recovery CD?
Did you install and use several burning applications together?
In my practical knowledge its not advisable to use different burning programs together.
You should use only one. I recommend Nero. Its nice.
If the sonic is installed on the HDD, try to remove it and use only the nero.
If the drive will be not able to handle the DVD medias, you should check different brands.

  • HP dv7 notebook PC does not recognise the dvd burner.

     HP dv7 notebook with win7 64bit does not recognise the dvd burner.A diagnostic check says the dvd is working but it cannot play or burn CDs,DVDs as the DVD does not appear with the other HDs in the computer window.Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    It's possible that this is a hardware issue with the optical drive itself, but try running automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    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.

  • MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-857 Does Not Recognise writable DVD media

    mbpro 2.16 Will not accept writable DVD's either blank or pre-writen. I have tried different makes. It will accept re-recordable media. Had the machine 9 months and the problem was only intermittant to start with but now permanent. HELP Please

    hi birdman,
    I'm having the same problem as you. The matshita drive was initially able to recognise a blank sony dvd-r i put in, was able to burn the dvd as well as read it. but after that, when i tried reading the same burned disc a few hours later, ironically, the drive wasn't able to recognise the very dvd-r it burned. Neither was it able to recognise any blank dvds.
    guess i may have to go down to apple to replace my optical drive.

  • Not recognising blank dvds

    Hi,
    my iMac won't recognise blank dvds at all, it recognises blank cds and my Macbook recognises the same dvds. I'm sure I used it to burn dvds from the same pack before.

    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    There have been discussions on this board before that indicate that some have experienced there DVD lens gets dirty or stops functioning.
    Try this link

    Mine never stopped working, but I replaced it for speed purposes with a 16x drive for a reasonable price.

  • Satellite A660 - DVD drive will not recognise some DVDs

    I have a new Satellite A660-17E with a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30N drive, running Windows 7 64 bit.
    The drive will read most DVDs. Commercial DVDs (region 2) are fine. However, there are problems with DVDs recorded using DVD recorders. DVD+R recordings using a Philips machine work fine. DVD+R and DVD-R using a Sony HDX RDR 1095 machine do not work.
    I'm hoping that the drive is ok and that this issue can be resolved by adjusting some setting or other?
    Any ideas?

    It is most likely the issue is with the brand of dvd's you record with. as stated in the manual not all brands of recordable media are guaranteed to work with the dvd drive.
    Also the sony recorder, i had a similar problem when playing the recorded dvd on another dvd machine, i found by adding a little more recorded info from the other machine onto the dvd it played fine after that. If you use DVD+R on the sony , record something on the laptop to the same dvd and then see if the dvd will play on the laptop.

  • I'm not very techy, so be gentle! i am using midvd app to burn home movies to dvd from iMovie '11 version 9.0.9. It now burns the dvd but there is nothing on the disc. its not recognised by the iMac or any other dvd player.

    I was using midvd app(i never had idvd) to make home movies on dvd from imovie '11 version 9.0.9 with no problems before xmas 2013. ive just tried to make a new one today and it wont work.
    It seems to burn to the dvd (you can see a mark on the back of the dvd as if it has some info on it) but it wont play on imac (just says blank disc) or any other dvd player.
    I have tried reinstalling midvd app and also tried 2 other dvd creator apps and the same thing happens the app says its burning and the external superdrive whirs like its doing something but it wont play.
    The only thing i have done since xmas is all the updates to the operationg system and updated imovie (i didnt like the new version so went back to using the previous one)
    Any ideas - i am new to all things mac!

    When you export your movie from iMovie, are you choosing H.264? That is the only compression method supported by this miDVD. Youc an give this a try first:
    Use Share > Export to Quicktime > Movie to Quicktime Movie > choose Options and then make your choices in Settings, etc (you can choose whatever size your video is - mine was 720 HD at that time):
    If that does not work, I'd suggest going to their support site as they claim to be able to burn to DVD.... I just checked their site and here is their list of supported file types:

  • Sdatellite M100 does not recognise CD/DVD drive in Windows XP

    In device manager it is listed but with a yellow explanation mark.
    No mention of it in my computer.
    No icon.
    I am able to open the drawer and i have put several types of cd/dvds in their with no results.
    The light flashes orange on the drawer door. The drive is listed as 'Mat****advd-ram uj-841s-(sm) ' in the bios under boot devices.
    I am trying to figure out how to remove the drive and replug but it seems i have to take the thing apart to do it and am hesitant without a diagram.
    There is only a user guide in the downloads on this site so any help is appreciated :0)
    Oh i also downloaded the driver from this site for the drie. Previous to that i uninstalled the drive in device manager but there was no change when i installed the downloaded driver.
    Just using a Ubuntu Linux live cd and it is running.
    Unfortunately its going to be hard to know for sure what is the issue this way as i don't want to install ubuntu on this machine as it is someone elses machine and they are far from ready to try linux.
    I am in a live session now.
    Ah ok when i go into the media folder there is no mention of the cd/dvd drive.
    So there really is a problem unless i can physically unplug it from the mb and replug :0( Oh wait here it is...under 'cdrom' folder' but only files with a relevence to installing side by side with windows are mentioned...exe files, wubi etc.
    Ah ok this is beyond my experience.
    Can anyone give this amateur a tip?

    First of all remove the ODD (CD/DVD) drive from the list in device manager.
    Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet \ Control\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Finally you should reboot the unit.
    After that windows will recognize the ODD again

  • Why does my mac mini not recognise some DVDs?  It spits them back out.

    I've inherited a mac mini and whilst I'm reasonabley tech minded and use it for browsing etc, when I try to watch DVDs through it most of the time its fine, but for no obvious reason there are certain disks it just won't play. The latest is a Disney DVD I bought for my children, it's genuine, in perfect condition, but the stupid mini says it's not a valid disc and spits it out.
    Bah!
    TIA

    Can someone please tell me how I can downgrade from OS X Lion to Snow Leopard on my iMac
    When i insert the DVD it just spins for about 10 seconds then ejects the dvd..
    any help would be great thanks

    Lion has installed a recovery partition on your Hard Drive and you must completely erase and reformat the Hard Drive before you can go back to Snow Leopard.

    Hi
    • a cleaning CD/DVD ?
    My general (old) list
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.
    If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
    iDVD updated ?
    Apple Codec updated ?
    Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
    No of Colors - must be set to millions

  • Ipod not recognised by iTunes after latest Ipod Updater Software loaded

    Hi
    Can you please help as I can't get my Ipod to work anymore with iTunes. I recently did a "clean-up" of my computer and removed a lot of old files to speed up my computer and whilst doing this I upgraded my iTunes software with the latest Ipod Software Updater. However, I can't get my iPod to work with iTunes anymore. I plug in my iPod and it starts to say "Do Not Disconnect" on the iPod screen but then it doesn't show up in my iTunes so I can't update my iPod.
    I tried to use the iPod Software Updater "Repair" option but this just freezes my system and doesn't recognise my Ipod. I also get the error "Write Failure on this disk" showing up in the icons near my Computer Clock when I plug in my Ipod.
    I've tried doing a system restore back to when the ITunes worked with the Ipod but this didn't fix it. I've tried removing iTunes and the iPod from my computer and then reinstalling them from the software from apple.com but it still doesn't work. The problem being is when I've deleted ITunes and the Ipod Installer I've lost my original HP + Ipod installation disk so maybe I'm missing some essential system files? I've used the Ipod Software Installer from apple.com to install the iPod files but I'm not sure whether I need the files from the original installation CD. Can I find the installation CD files from anywar
    Please help!!
    Thanks in advance
