Unable to read burned dvd, unable to format dvd, and unable to burn dvd

Unable to read burned dvd, unable to format dvd, and unable to burn dvd with my HP G62-339WM Notebook PCI have been unable to perform the Windows back up for months without using new discs. But even after using new discs Windows backup tells me that the disc that I previously used that it is asking to insert is not formatted. I also have not been able to read any dvds that I previously burned, instead it will sometimes recognize them as blank and they are not.  I also cannot perform a format on new dvd discs nor burn to them. I have been able to read some previously burned discs on another pc but not the discs that were created with Windows backup. I have tried everything. I have uninstalled the device, ran the fix it, tried troubleshooting, checked the registry and could not find the upper and lower filters listed. I am however able to read program software and the autorun pops up. Once in a while the autorun will pop up when a blank disc is inserted but then that is all the further I am able to use it. I don't know what else to do. I really want to be able to at least burn files to back up so that they are not lost forever. Please help!

Fixed it myself - for some reason the La Cie refused to read the media. Had to use another machine to pull the data from the drive, copy it over the network to my iMac and then mount the ISO image.

  • If I purchase a box set of iLife and just install the iDVD component on my new iMac should I be able to make a DVD in the format that plays on a TV DVD?

    When I recently purchased my first iMac I was disappointed to find that there was no DVD making facility. I want to make a video of photo's and movie clips and then make a DVD that will play on a TV DVD player. I am thinking of purchasing a box set of iLife that includes iDVD and just installing the iDVD component. Can someone  please confirm that tyhis will work? If not any suggestions?

    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • Unable to read E-Book (in Jar Format) in Nokia Ash...

    Hi,
    I got Nokia Asha 305 Model.  Tried to read E-Book (which I got in JAR Format) but my phone is not allowing it.  Even though I am able to play games which are available in the same JAR Format. 
    Please advice.

    .jar is basically just a .zip package. It's usually used just for delivering/packaging applications to the devices, not other content like eBooks. However if you tell me what exactly you downloaded, this could be easily checked.

  • DVD Studio Pro--Formatting Failed, and failed, and failed, and failed

    HI!! I've experienced my first HD crash and the only files I have left of several pieces are the m2v and aiff files that were generated by Compressor for use w/DVD StudioPro. Now that the HD is gone(and this would happen before, even when the HD wasn't connected to the computer, which I never understood, as I thought that the output of Compressor were stand alone files) anyway, now that the hard drive is gone, DVD studio pro will not format for a burn.
    Once the Initialize screen appears, I get an error box stateing:
    Formatting failed Building not successful, see log.
    the log reads:
    Starting DVD Build QUICK_REEL...
    Compiler File Error
    Build cancelled
    Formatting finished.
    Building was not successful. See log.
    I'm freakin out because these are the only copies left. Nor am I able to export a stable format of the m2v, for instance converting to mpg so that I can make masters.
    HELP!~!

    Hi Dave,
    So from what I understand the only change is the new hard drive? What I would do while the project is closed delete all the PAR folders associated with the project and reopen the project. This should highlight any errors concerning finding the footage.
    My other note is have you changed the type of drive attached to your computer? Some external drives don't work so well with DVDSP. Moving the assest on board your computer is one way to skin this cat.
    Good Luck

  • Format issues and output to SD DVD

    I have about 40 hours of footage that I shot with a JVC HM100U, The file codex is 1920X1080 XDCAM EX 1080p30 (35mb/s VBR)
    It looks great on my standard TV (after outputting to mpg2 for SD DVD, But when I play them on my blu-ray (PS3) they look really choppy.
    Now my question, is there a format that I can burn then in that will allow for clean video on both machines. My commercial SD DVD don't look as good as HD stuff, but they don't look as bad as what I am getting.
    If anyone has overcome this problem I would appreciate any help.
    Also, if there is a better capture solution for this camera than what I have se;ected, please advise.
    Thanks,

    Well....
    Everyone replying to questions here is a FCP user like yourself and a volunteer.
    We don't have access to all possible hardware permutations.
    To answer your question, you would need to have someone browse through here that has knowledge of the same camera and a PS3. If coincidentally, they had experienced the same issues and found a fix, then you would have probably received a reply.

  • Ripping dvd footage to Final Cut and re-exporting to DVD

    Greetings,
    I'm taking footage off of various dvd materials with the intention of bringing them into final cut and re-exporting an edited product onto dvd. My method has been, thus far: to rip whichever chapters I'm looking for using Mac the Ripper, bring the chapters (VOBs) into MPEG Streamclip for 100% quality conversion to the 'Apple DV - PAL' setting, and then bringing those files into final cut for editing. However, it seems no matter what my export setting is, I'm getting quality loss on the finished product - a bit of pixelation (most evident on high-def televisions), etc. Converting the .VOBs to an Uncompressed setting wouldn't work as I'm working with hours of accumulated footage and the space it would consume wouldn't be a possibility. What I don't understand is why, when I burn a cloned dvd using Mac the Ripper there's hardly any quality loss at all, but here I'm getting quite a bit. Is this due to a re-compression happening somewhere? And is there any way of getting rid of it? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

    There is about four or five generational losses in your workflow.
    There isn't a way around that.
    Use the original footage to preserve quality in the process.
    Plus, why is MacTheRipper necessary with non commercial DVDs?

  • Replaced burner with Pioneer 110 on Quicksilver and does not burn

    After my original drive died I recently installed a Pioneer 110 drive and burned CDs with no problem. After doing a project in Studion Pro it compiled and muxed but never made it to burning or multiplexing. Any answers? When I went to burn straight away in Studio Pro, still no burning. No patches were installed, any help is greatly appreciated.
    Chuck

    Apple add more and more support for new models of burners in the OS X updates, but if your new drive is not one of the natively supported ones you will need Patchburn to add support for your drive
    http://www.patchburn.de/
    "PatchBurn is a tool to patch existing CD/DVD-drivers (under Mac-OS X 10.2.x) or to generate and install new device profiles (under Mac-OS 10.3.x and later)
    It allows many, otherwise unsupported burners to be used directly with Mac-OS X, iTunes and DiscBurner."

    How is being unable to verify your hotmail account, which is a Microsoft Service, relevant to these forums. If you can't verify your account information with Microsoft, that's something you need to take up with them.

  • Unable to read file

    I have a wedding project in Final cut express that was just about finish. It was left to render. When I came back the G5 had a system failure so I restarted. When it was back on I got into another project I was working on. Just a few minutes ago I tried to get into the first project and a message comes up saying "Unable to Read File" I can only click okay and when I do, I see the orignal project with none of my edits. What in the world happened? and how do I get my project back? This is very important.

    It looks like you did not have Autosave Vault turned on in User Preferences (which would have provided you with an earlier version of your project). I suggest that you make a Finder search in all Hard Drives, looking for the name of your failed project file, in case there is an earlier copy saved somewhere else. Perhaps you saved it by mistake somewhere else, or FCE did make an Autosave but put it somewhere else. I'm sorry, but I can't suggest anything else.
    But here's a thought: are you getting "Media Offline" in your failed project? If so, you could reconnect the clips in the Browser and Timeline to their sources in the Capture Scratch area

  • I am unable to read

    I am unable to read nepali font into MS word file and could not type the same font. So ,your kind help is awaiting.

    MS Word for Mac has never supported Indic scripts.  You need to use something else.  TextEdit, Pages, Nisus Writer, OpenOffice should all work fine.

  • After I burn a DVD I am unable to read it again

    I have archived some files onto DVD's and after the disk is burned the icon comes up on the desktop. If I double click on the icon the disk seems to open and show it contains all the data I burned to it. However once I eject the DVD, when I reinsert it my computer just spits it back out after about 30 seconds. Did I burn the DVD incorrectly? Why am I unable to remount my DVD's after I have burned them?

    "What brand of DVD media did you use?"
    Memorex. Is there a superior media I should try?
    Almost any brand is superior to Memorex when it comes to DVD and CD recordables. I'd recommend TDK, Maxell, Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden.
    That being said, this issue has been reported by many users and I don't recall anyone coming up with a definite solution for it. I think the issue is more prevalent with the DVR-106 drives, but obviously users with other models are experiencing it as well.

  • Satellite Pro M40: DVD/CD multi recorder - unable to read or burn film data

    Hi,
    this recorder for satellite pro m-40, is strange; i am able to boot from dvd, read dvd data, burn cd but, unable to read or burn film data (original); i have already try it with few dvd film without success!
    Any idea?
    thanks!

    To malossi:
    You dont have the similar problem because the user above cannot read and burn ONLY the original DVD movies!
    > i am able to boot from dvd, read dvd data, burn cd but, unable to read or burn film data (original);
    In your case possibly the drive is dead or not compatible with the media (but I dont think so).
    Check this Microsoft site for some general ideas:

    I have read also that someone was having this problem, and found that going into hardware profiles for the CD Rom that wasn't reading, clicking on the advanced tab, and selecting "PIO only" instead of "DMA if Available" worked in win XP sp2. Maybe you will try these.
