Toshiba DVR20 Freeview does not write DVD disks properly

_DVD Machine:_
Toshiba DVR20 Freeview DVD and VCR Recorder Combi
_Type of DVD:_
Blank DVD-R Non-Printable Disc
_Problem:_
DVDs play fine on dvd player but show up as blank dvds on computer. Advice please.

Hi buddy,
I googled for Toshiba DVR20 Freeview device because it was not known to me.
It seems like this recorder support the DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW disks for recording.
I would recommend you to test different brand disks provided by different manufacturers.
Its also advisable to clean the laser lens.
You could use a special lens cleaner kit. Such inexpensive cleaner kit that will brush the lens clean. They are available online and at stores that sell electronics

  • DVD Drive does not writes DVD

    I have lenovo G580.
    I am not able to write DVDs from my Laptop. I have MAT**bleep**A DVD-RAM UJ8C1. It sometimes detects the blank DVD and sometimes doesn't. And even if it detects the blank DVD, as soon as I start the burning process, the drive ejects the disk saying "An error occured while writing disk". The same DVDs work fine on my Samsung Laptop. I even used different brands of DVDs but same problem occured every time.
    I couldn't find any driver for the optical drive on the support website.
    I have no issue with reading and writing CDs.

    Hellow!
    I have the Lenovo G580 (Lenovo Solution Center reports #20150). It has the TSST Corp. CDDVDW SN-208DB CD-ROM. It normally writes common CD and DVD through Windows 8.1. However it cannot write dual layer DL DVD for 8.5 Gbytes.

  • Publish to DVD says it completes, does not write the ISO file in version 13.

    When I publish to DVD and select ISO it says it completes but it does not write the ISO file in version 13.

    The DVD disc which is labelled 4.7 GB/120 minutes is in reality 4.38 GB. And the DVD disc which is labelled 8.5 GB/240 minutes is in reality 7.95 GB.
    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running? Can we assume 13/13.1 on Windows 8.1 64 bit?
    What are you doing, a burn to disc DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc or burn to disc AVCHD on DVD disc?
    When you get to the burn dialog (and you have your disc in the burner tray), what does the Quality area of the burn dialog show for Space Required and Bitrate with and without a check mark next to "Fit Contents to Available Space"?
    Or, can you do burn to Folder (4.7 GB) and/or burn to ISO Image (4.7 GB)? Are your successful burn to .iso files under 1 GB in file size?
    Please quantitate "...shortening the timeline dramatically".
    Thank you. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

Is there a way to add my movie to my iPod touch 2nd generation tuning 4.2.1

    Hiya!
    It depends on what kind of digital copy you have.  This article goes ino details regarding the two types, and depending on the type you have, you may or may not need the DVD to redeem the code.

  • DVD-ROM SD-M1612 does not recognize DVD's

    I tried to do a search but this search system is not very intuitive. Anyway I did find the topic "DVD-ROM SD-M1612 Does not recognize DVD's"
    I'm having the same problem.
    I know the drive works, I've been using it for 5 years or so now, however long it's been out. I replaced my hard drive, reinstalled my OS and now it doesn't recognize DVD's. !!????
    I've been searching all day trying to find a solution. Fireware v1004. It reads CD's just fine, but not DVD's very strange.
    It also delays my boot process if a DVD is in the drive by a very long time.
    Any thoughts as to what I need to update?
    My motherboard is an ASUS P4TE

    Hi
    Like Ivan said, its possible that the drive is defect. Such issues could appear if the lens cannot calibrate properly.
    However, I have investigated a little bit in the net and fond a very interesting Toshiba site about this drive with the firmware update and device drivers.
    http://www.toshiba-europe.com/STORAGE/pft.asp?page=PFT&nav=ISH_ARC&model=SDM1612&spr_mod eltype=DVDROMHH&spr_model=SDM1612
    The other possibility could be a wrong media. According to the informationa on this site, the drive cannot read the DVD + medias.
    Be sure that you use the compatible DVDs.
    But as mentioned above its possible that the drive has a malfunction.

  • The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing

    Hi everyone,
    I deployed 2 hyper v vitual machines a while ago, and i did that because I needed to test my current game Project, which is an
    online game. However, i've had some problems with my Windows installation then I had to reset the pc by making it a refresh
    install. I still have the hyper v virtual disks, but i cannot attach it to a new hyper-v virtual machine. it pops up this message:
    "the storage
    where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing". I dont know anything about virtual machines, so I
    didnt know I had to make the disk sharable. How can I force to attach the hard disk to a new hyper-v? I dont want to go t
    hrough the whole proccess of installing the operating system all over again and updating it....
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,
    Romulo Romero

    Hi MrDebugging,
    >>
    When I Try to add a SCSI Controller, and then I click browse to add a UNC I get this:
    C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks\ClienMachine.vhdx
    but I tried placing in different location, and the same problem occurs!
    By the way, Im not on a server , I am a domestic user and I am running it on my
    Windows 8.1
    According to the error message , it seems that it is not a permission issue .
    The VM is Gen 1 or Gen2 ?
    Generally the error message occurs when you enable "shared vhdx" on standalone/client hyper-v host :
    Please try to attach the VHDx file to IDE controller if it is a Gen 1 virtual machine (because only the SCSI controller has the option "virtual hard disk sharing" and Gen 1 VM only can boot from IDE )
    All in all , please do not use this feature without CSV or Scale-Out File Server with SMB 3.0 on file-based storage .
    If it is not the case , please detail steps what you did .
    Best Regards,
    Elton Ji

  • Export with Metadata does not write EXIF Lens & GPS info

    I use the Olympus E-3.
    I've worked an entire project with Aperture 2 (now at 2.1.2), only to find out eventually that when exporting, aperture does not write the Lens info, and GPS section of the EXIF. This is bread and butter for me.
    Did a search in the forum, and there was 1 other who encounter the same problem..
    http://www.trick77.com/2009/02/01/aperture-doesnt-export-all-exif-header-info/
    the workaround was to copy EXIF from the original file, using Exiftool with GUI on windowsXP. The result being that Adobe bridge and LR can read, while aperture cannot read.

    I also encounterd this annoying problem... I just posted another message about this...
