Unable to play burned CD's

Hi,
I've burned some of of my iTunes playlists onto CD's to play them at my summerhouse CD player. I burned them and tried them out on the Mac itself and also on my CD player at home, a Harman Kardon HD7500 . They worked fine so I brought them on the weekend but the CD player have severe problems with them. It's a JVC microsystem and it takes several minutes sometimes for the player to recognize the inserted CD. And jumping forward or backward one or several songs takes also minutes sometimes. Bought music CD's works fine though. What's wrong here?
I'm running Tiger and iTunes 5.01 and the burner is a Formac.
TIA
Mans

It might be to do with the speed you're burning at and the quality of your media.
My Father in Law had a similar problem and it turned out that his cd player had problems reading cd's that were burnt above 32x.
Experiment with your burning speeds and also try one or two different brands of CDR to see if that's the problem.

Unable to play burned DVD

Hi,
I part-time video edit and my latest customer complained that the DVD I gave her couldn't be played in her DVD Player. I made the project using Final Cut Pro, exported it via Compressor and burned the .ac3 and .m2v in DVD Studio Pro.
I tried playing the burned DVD in a PC and found that I needed to download a codec in order to play the video. This is on an XP and goes the same on Vista. However, it plays fine in QT on a Mac.
I have 2 DVD players, the conventional one where it only plays DVDs and a newer one where it can read & play movies on thumbdrives/hard drives via USB too. On the newer one, the DVD plays just fine. However, on the older one, it doesn't. So I assume the customer's DVD player is similar to my older one which can't play my burned DVDs.
What is causing this problem and how do I solve it? My projects burned using Adobe Premiere Elements work fine. I'm using DVD-R printable.

How did you burn the ac3 and m2v file in DVD SP? Did you create tracks? Did you create menus? If your disc will not play in a stand alone DVD player then you did not author it correctly. A PC would only download a codec if it's seeing the disc as something other than a properly authored video DVD.

Unable to play burned disc.

I know I am missing a minor step here.
I have correctly imported a movie from FCP to DVD Pro and moved it to the correct track...and then burned it. I can tell that the burn process is progressing as it should.
But when I insert the disc into my drive after it has burned (formatted) all I see is a black screen and when I click on 'menu' or 'play' I get a 'not permitted' notice.
I know that this movie has burned to the inserted disc correctly but I cannot play it back. I am missing a very minor step here.
What am I doing wrong?
Dan

Although I never received a response to this query I would like to offer some feedback as to what I found re this problem in case anyone also runs into it.
With the help of a friend we came to the conclusion after burning about 20 unsuccessful discs that it seems to be an issue with 'master templates' in FCP.
Here is what happened. I created a project (movie) in FCP with the intro having a 'master template' at the opening of the disc...in my case a water template. You can check them out.
It seems that exporting the finished project to DVD Pro although successful and playing it in DVD PRO was fine: burning the completed track to a DVD disc resulted in a 'not permitted' play. Even though the burn notice in DVD PRO said that the disc was "formatted successfully' and all appeared fine.
When we deleted the template from the track (back in FCP) it then did burn so that we could view it. Bear in mind that I have burned other projects with opening intro templates with no problems. However some templates (my friend says) are Volkswagens and some are Ferraris.
You have to be familiar with templates to know what I am talking about.
It seems that DVD PRO does not like all the FCP has to offer! We think!
But.....we still have not gotten to the bottom of this.
Apparently no one here has any thoughts on this? Which is also quite interesting.

Dvd player 3.2 unable to play burned dvd- Any suggestions?

Hello all,
I'm trying to play a burned dvd movie on my dvd player 3.2, but the dvd player doesn't automatically start playing it. My ibook, 10.2.8, doesn't seem to be able to read it. However, I tried the dvd on a new Mac and it works.
Any suggestions on what to do, besides buying a new Mac? Thanks!

I can't find the "post new topic" so I'm choosing
"reply" and hoping someone can help.
The new topic button is at the root level of each forum (like iDVD 5 or iDVD 6) towards the upper left corner. You won't see it when you are looking at someone else's messages.
I have an iMac, 10.2.8, with a DVD Player 3.2 that
has been working fine for several years.
The last few weeks when I put in a commercially made
DVD, it won't play. It doesn't automatically show up
on the desktop, and when I manually open the DVD
Player, it doesn't read the disk although the program
opens without problem. This isn't happening to all
commercial DVDs, but most.
This isn't happening to all commercial DVDs - Doesn't sound like a problem with Apple's DVD Player application - you may have a dirty lens in your DVD drive.

Hi iTunes-1,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.
iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
Here is an example of what section three might look like:
In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
Run CD Diagnostics again.
Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS. Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive. Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
I hope this information helps ...

Unable to play burnt CD

Hi everyone. I have purchased and downloaded the album by Paolo Nutini " Aucustic Love " but when I burnt the songs on CD I was unable to play it in my car or home stack. Can anyone tell me why?

Hi gnvdg-buncher,
If you are burning a CD to be played in a standard CD player, you may want to make sure that you are burning it as an Audio CD. You may find the following article helpful:

Unable to complete Burn

I am very frustrated. I have used IDVD many times. I have a 90 minute video and a 4 minute video on IDVD. It plays fine during a preview. However when I go to burn OR create an image. After it finishes rendering the audio it says something like error unable to complete burning process. It never even starts the burning process. I need to burn this ASAP. It is a wedding that I worked on. I have tried re-doing the IDVD authoring. I have moved my chapter markers.. I am out of ideas and I need help. Any ideas? The confuing part is I get the same message when I try to create a disc image.... Please help me!!!

Hi Helena
To get a good answer You should start Your own topic. So that all can see.
To find out if You can make it in time You need to support more info:
- What Mac and speed 600MHz - 2,7 GHz ???
- What OS - OS X.3.9 or X.4.2
- What QuickTime 6.5.2 or 7.0.2
- What iMovie 5.0.2 or 4 or 3 or 2 ??
- How much free space on Your hard disk ? (>20Gb is good)
If You have a dxG5 2GHz and have stayed with OS X.3.9 and QT 6.5.2 and
iMovie 5.0.2 then do this.
(I would repair preferenses first with Apple disk util tool)
Close iMovie
Start a New iDVD-project and chose a theme.
Locate Your movie project icon ("My fantastic movie" - or what ever)
Ctrl-Click on this - select "Show package"
in this there is a folder - Share movie
in this there is a folder - iDVD
in this a QT ref movie is located
Take this "nnnnn.mov" file and drop it just inside the edge of the
theme window You chosen in iDVD
Now fix title and so on as You like it and goto FILE and select
make a disk image on the desktop so You can test it with Apple DVD-player
or if You will chance - burn a fresh DVD.
Good luck !

Unable to play recorded video using BB multimedia api in other platform

Hi all,
I am new to Blackberry application development. The application I am developing it is required to record a video using multimedia api.
I am using
video encoding : MPEG-4
audio encoding : AMR
res : 320 x 240
Device using Curve 8250
It is the same encoding combination BB curve use to record a video from default recorder.
_player = Manager
.createPlayer("capture://video?encoding=video/3gpp&width=320&height=240&fps=12&video_codec=MPEG-4&audio_codec=AMR");
After recording it from my application I am able to play the video in vlc even in BB devices. But when I am trying toplay in android,J2ME and iPhone platform. It is unable to play the video..Can anybody help me out in this regard.
I am really in trouble. I need your help .
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Angan

In my experience if windows media player plays it(the mpeg4), it will not be compatiable with quicktime. At least if you do not go installing the codecs to read ISO mpeg 4 (.mp4 is the standard extension that quicktime puts on the files). Another thing to check is if you are creating ISO compliant files. The mpeg4s that windows media reads by default are not ISO compliant. You also need to keep in mind that Quicktime is a simple profile mp4 and main profile mp4 player (although not all b frames are compatable with quicktime). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicktime for a basic overview of the profile support. I suggest that you try playing the media with free softwares such as vlc http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ and mplayer http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html and check that the format and codecs are correct. Although they will play non standard files they will list the codecs in use (make sure that you are using ISO compliant standards as you can put more than MPEG 4 in mp4).

Unable to Play facebook video

Unable to Play facebook video

All videos on Facebook are h.264 encoded so they don't need flash. Don't spread false information, iPad safari can play Facebook videos since last year. I used to play them without an issue on my iPad but I guess the latest software update screwed that up.
http://www.intomobile.com/2010/04/27/facebook-enables-ipad-friendly-video-playba ck/
The link says videos uploaded on Facebook are encoded in iPad friendly format, YouTube videos are already iPad friendly so you should be able to play most videos on Facebook on your iPad safari.

Unable to play Cineform avi files in Premiere Pro CS3

I am using Cineform NeoHD version 5.3.2 to convert the MXF files from my Canon XF300 into Cineform AVI.
Then I import these AVI files into Premiere Pro CS3 and here is where the problem begins.
Premiere is unable to play these Cineform files. All I get is about a second of audio, and a still frame of the video. This happens both in the source window, and also on the timeline.
The Cineform AVI files play perfectly fine when using Virtualdub for playback, but Windows media player behave just like Premiere.
Everything worked fine a week ago. Premiere appeared to use something called "ffdshow" to play the Cineform files, and I could edit without any trouble.
A few days ago, when I tried the same, that's when the problems came. Whenever I hit Play button in Premiere, a popup window came up, saying Premiere wanted to use ffdshow, and the options was "never", "no once", "yes once", "yes always".
When everything worked a week ago, I had to use the "yes always" option.
Now, it does not matter which option I use, Premiere will not play the Cineform files.
I did not make any changes to my computer between the day everything was okay, and when the problem appeared.
A Cineform representative suggested "ffdshow" is the troublemaker, so I uninstalled ffdshow and removed any traces of it I could find, but the same problem still exist.
Then I uninstalled Cineform NeoHD
Uninstalled and reinstalled Production Premium CS3 suite
Reinstalled Cineform NeoHD
Still same problem, nothing has changed.
It does not matter if I use 50i or 25p source files.
My system: (Laptop)
Windows Vista ultimate 64-bit
Intel 2,66GHz quad core CPU
4GB ram
Nvidia Geforce 8800M GTX
3x internal 7200rpm harddrives set up with raid-0
Anyone else experiencing this?
Any ideas what might be wrong?

dont know , but this stuff might fix your prob.. overwrite whatever ffdshow screwed up...

cineform codec (neo player)
http://estore.cineform.com/NeoPlayer.aspx
never used the cfrepair thing..but did install neoplayer which gave me the codec to use cs3 with cf raw files ( sample of cf raw at the si 2k site -- avi ext )
ps.... to keep overhead down on my computer I took the resulting cineform "player" out of my startup directory....as it wants to run in background when you install it...no need for that for my purpose of just getting the codec

Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!
