For some reason my DVD drive wil no longer recognizes -R discs.
I have a MAT****A DVD-RAM UJ862AS drive.
Any clues?

Hi
Found some interesting info in user manual.
*Page 78*
There you can find a list of tested and good functioning disks from these manufacturers.
CD-R:
TAIYO Yuden Co Ltd, Mitsubishi KAGAKU Media CO LTD, Ricoh CO LTD, Hitachi Maxwell LTD.
DVD-R:

Matsu****a Electric Industrial Co LTD.
There is also an notification for DVD R:
There are two types of DVD-R disks: authoring and general use discs. Dont use the authoring disks. Only general use discs can be written to by a computer drive.

  • DVD Drive Doesn't recognize Media Disc

    I have an Envy dv7. Product # B6B75AV. DVD drive hpBD MLT UJ260
    I have a program that will copy a dvd from the source, dvd drive #1, to the target same dvd drive #1.
    When it is done copying the disc it ejects the original and asks to have a writable media disc inserted. 
    When I insert the DVD  the drive doesn't recognize the blank dvd, keeps asking for it, and when I put it in, it spits back out saying to insert a writable disc.  I have used the blank DVD+R for burning other things so it should work.  I tired putting in 4 different blank discs to make sure the disc was ok.
    Is there anyway to find out for sure whether this DVD writer uses DVD+R or DVD-R?
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • Tecra M4 - DVD drive doesn't recognize any disk under Vista

    Hi,
    after the installation of Vista my dvd drive doesn't recognize any disks !
    No upgrade from XP! It was a clean Vista installation.
    I found several links about the registry entries upper and lower filter this entries doesn't exist in my registry under the class CDROM.
    I tested the drive under XP it works fine and recognizes everything.
    Drivers are correctly installed no problems in the device manager is prompted.
    So i have no idea how to get it working, seems to be a Vista problem
    Could any one help me ? I'm really frustrated about this
    Thanks for your help

    Maybe this helps:
    - Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
    - Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    - Then reboot the notebook
    But what happens exactly? What disks are not recognized?

    Hi,
    Here's one option you could try as it will give a good indication whether the problem is with Windows or a Hardware issue with the optical drive itself. 
    Create a bootable Ubuntu CD
    The Ubuntu CD you create should run as you boot the notebook ( ie outside of Windows operating system ), so if this will not run, the problem is almost certainly a Hardware issue with the DVD drive
    On another PC, follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if this OS will run from the CD.  The 'try it' option does not need to install on the Hard Drive, it just runs from the CD.
    http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
    Let me know if this will run.

  • Satellite L30 PSL33E: After downgrade to XP DVD-RAM doesn't burn

    My notebook (Toshiba Satellite L30 PSL33E) came with Windows Vista but it is very slow with this OS and one of my friends downgrade my OS to XP.
    But now my DVD-RAM doesn't burn!

    Please check this:
    Access the DVD-RAM properties (right click & properites).
    There you have to choose the TAB called recording.
    Then check if the option Enable CD recording on this drive was marked!!!

  • Dual Layer Superdrive doesn't recognize DL Discs

    Not sure if there is another thread on this, I cannot find one. If so please supply me with the link.
    I have a Powerbook G4 and it came with a combo drive. A while back I purchased a Matshita DVD-Ram UJ-845S Dual Layer DVD burner from Other World Computing. I never really tried using it until recently.
    I am trying to back up my home movies via Backup and when I insert a DL DVD it recognizes it as a CD, not even a DVD.(The DVD's I am using came with my DL Burner) I had a certified Apple Tech install the DVD drive in my Powerbook to avoid voiding my warranty. I bought the DL DVD burner to avoid using multiple disc and to backup my movies that I bought.
    Are there any driver updates or something?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Jeremy

    I might have figured it out, but I am not 100% sure. I think the disc's I got w/ the DVD burner are CD-R's. I put one of them in an older laptop(w/ only a CD burner and it said it too was a CD-R disc.
    Not sure if that is the problem. I am going to go buy some DL discs and try them and when I do I will post.

  • I installed Lion, now my dvd drive doesn't recognize any files on dvd. Please help.

    I'm a photographer with tons on images on dvd and my dvd drive now doesn't recognize any files on any of my dvd's. Help!!!

    After 3 trips to the Apple store this week, the issue is still unresolved. The photo dvd's open just fine on Snow Leopard, but are not recognized at all on Lion. I'm guessing since the DVD's were originally burned on a PC, they will no longer work. After finding out that PowerPC is no longer recognized by Lion and I can no longer use Nikon NX2 (Photo editing software), I will be re-installing Snow Leopard. According to the Apple store in Lancaster, Pa. there is no refund available for my Lion purchase. I have a ton of photo DVD's, most of which will not open since I've only recently switched to an IMAC system. It has made me think about returning to the PC world. I'm VERY unhappy with these developments and I really need to re-think my computer situation. I don't do much else besides photography. My purchases and time spent with my IMAC has aparently been a great waste.

  • I have a Power Mac G4. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem.  Now I get an error message stating it doesn't recognize the disc and an error

    I have a Power Mac G4 with OX 10.4.11.  I have previously burned DVDs with no problem.  Now I've gotten two different sets of messages.  One states that
    the disc is not readable and an error code: 0x8002006D.  The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025.
    What is going on?  I need to burn discs immediately for a conference next week.

    "The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025."
    The error (0x80020025) refers to an unsupported drive (not disk).  I've read about relaunching the Finder to correct the problem.  Choose "Force Quit" from the Apple Menu and then choose "Finder." Click "Relaunch" and see if the drive still produces the error.  If there's no change, I'd be tempted to replace the drive.

  • DVD drive doesn't recognize blank DVDs or allow burns

    I got a 20", 2.4 Ghz Intel Imac not too long ago, with Leopard already installed. I'd been using Parallels or Boot Camp to do all by DVD burning in Windows until recently. The first time I tried to do it in OSX 10.5.1, it didn't work right. The DVD icon does not show up on the desktop, though it's acknowledged when it's inserted, and a box pops up asking for me to perform an action. But I can't get it to burn a simple data DVD through disk utility, or even in DVD Studio Pro. I saw other threads about this, wondering if anyone has a solution. A file ending in .plist was mentioned, that you should move from its folder if you find it. I didn't find it. What else can I do? Works fine in Windows through Boot Camp or Parallels, and once a disc has something on it, it'll show up when put in the DVD drive. It's only blanks that are "invisible".

    You issue sounds similiar to all of us in the other chat thread. Go to "MATSHITA superdrive has died" and post your comments there, perhaps more people post, it might get Apple's attention.

  • DVD SP will not recognize my disc.

    Just recently DVD SP stopped recognizing the discs in my DVD Drive. Whenever I send a DVD to burn the software tells me that I need to insert "acceptable DVD recordable media" then when I open the drive and insert a new disc it does nothing. It was working fine using the same DVDs and everything before, it has just stopped.
    I have tried burning a disc outside of DVD SP and the drive works fine, so it seems like a problem with the communication between the software and the hardware... any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi:
    Wellcome to the forums !
    DVDSP uses to be more "sensitive" to media than Disk Utility and/or Toast when burning discs. Besides that, DVDSP tries allways to burn at max speed, and under some burner/media combinations that can add more problems.
    That was the first reason for me to change my burning workflow . . . some time ago, and vener tried again to burn using DVDSP itself.
    Now I create a disc image of my project and burn it using Toast and/or Disk Utility. read this Creating Disc Image in DVDSP tutorial.
    Besides that, what media are you using?
    Hope that helps !

  • L355D DVD drive doesn't recognize some Photoshop CS2 disks

    I have 2 Toshiba Laptops, one with XP, one with Vista (L355D).  Neither one will even recognize my Adobe Photoshop CS2 install disk.  This Disk works fine in ALL other computers (3) I have tried it on.  Any Ideas???

    If these are new original DVD, you should bring your system in for alignment. If they are copied DVDs, the drive that made them may be out of alignment and your good drive can't read the bad copy.  There is also another issue you may be talking about. Many DVD movies are assigned a country code and will not run on a machine from another country.  This was intended to prevent piracy.

  • DVD drive does not recognize some media on Satellite A30-514

    I own a Satellite A30-514 laptop with Microsoft xp OS. Just lately, some DVD's (not games) will not play from the drive. some do some don't. It is not a region problem - they are all region 2. Windows does not read the disc when it is inserted and does not register a disc in the drive when I show 'my computer'. CD's all play normally. Could this be a driver (internal) issue or is my DVD CD combo just too old now?
    Thanks Marie.

    Hi
    To give you some precise answer it will be interesting to know which DVDs are not readable. Meaning of word 'some media' is to general and not helpful to understand the problem.
    Satellite A30 is pretty old notebook model and it is possible that ODD functionality is not good anymore. You can try to clean the lens.

  • DVD Writer won't recognize Blank DVD (Imation)

    Hi
    I have bundle blank DVD brand Imation but unfortunately my internal or external dvd writer would not recognize the disc. I have tried several times using Toast Titanium 6 and when i put the blank disc it says 'please put a blank disc. In fact, the disc i haven't use at all. Does it cause of my firmware or other related problem. Please help me. Thank you.

    Hi M Faza-
    Since it is two different drives the first step is to try a different brand of discs.
    Are the discs compatible? Did you but dual layer discs when in fact you have a single-layer burner? Are you putting the disc into the drive with the correct side down?
