Using lacie dvd d2 dual burner to import to itunes

I just bought a lacie dvd d2 dual disk burner and am having problems importing audio cds to itunes. It seems
that I can play cds from the lacie launched desktop folder no problem, but in itunes the sound is fractured
with a constant clicking and waving sound. Anyone know what's up with this?
I also had the same problem some you have been talking about with itunes 5 not wanting to burn cds and
informing me that the speed was too fast. Having an older ibook I thought that my laser was going.
I'd apprecitate any help here. Thanks in advance.

  • Backup iTunes library problem using LaCie DVD Burner error message - help!

    Hi!
    I just purchased a LaCie D2 DVD +-RW DVD Burner for my Mac Mini running OS 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.2. I've installed the latest LaCie drivers and iTunes recognizes the burner so no problem there. When I try to back up my purchased playlist iTunes checks the media everythings fine but when it tries to start the burn process I get this error message: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (-8785)." It then ejects the DVD-R. The Burner works fine with Toast, so the issue is with iTunes. I've tried using both Apple DVD-R's and Sony brand just in case that was it. Any ideas? Please?
    Thank you,
    Sam

    i recently got an error message while burning a dvd with lacie. i had been using the same cd's etc. found the solution on roxio boards (which don't allow just anybody to join obviously).
    the problem is iSight. it can cause problems with the lacie while hooked up to the other firewire connection. unplugged the camera and viola!!! lacie works again.
    hope this helps you too!!!

    I can burn CDs.
    Been trying to update driver and reset DMA but nothing helped.
    Has any1 familiar with this issue?
    Thx for your time.

    R2D2 said Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manger
    He means not driver but drive ODD (Optical Disk Drive)
    Access the device manager (control panel -> system -> Hardware), mark the CD/DVD drive and press delete.
    Then access the registry editor typing regedit in RUN window
    Then choose the key posted above and remove the upper and lower filters values.
    Finally reboot the notebook.
    I hope this explanation would help you because I dont know how to explain it more detailed

  • When attempting to burn a 1.2GB video using Magic DVD I get Burning Prep error. Not enough free disk space...... I have tried all I know to no avail. This have just started!!

    When attempting to burn a 1.2 GB video using iDVD I get a "Burning Preparation Error.. Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaing assetts" This has only justed started to happen.  I have used this programme many times before in the past. Can any one help as I have tried all I know?

    Yes, 44GB is sufficient. I don't think space is the problem.  I don't know about iMovie but iDVD can only use the boot drive for its scratch disk.
    You might be getting that error due to some damage file in the project.
    Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch IDVD and try again.
    Also run Disk Utility and verify the disk.  If errors are indicated you will need to boot iknto your system install disk and repair the disk with Disk Utility (see the Utilities menu in the first window after the language selection window).

  • Using multiple disk drives to burn cd's in itunes

    Hello,
    Recently i purchased a Lacie Lightscribe external burner. I installed the external burner. When i try to burn cd's in iTunes, the internal drive no longer is able to burn cd's.
    is there a way to allow me to choose which drive i would like to use to when burning cd's? ideally i would like to use the internal drive to burn cd's most of the time and only use the lightscribe burner when i want to etch a picture in the lightscribe cd's.
    the internal drive in my iMac is no longer recognized when i try to burn cd's in Itunes, only the external Lacie works.
    Thank you.

    Go to iTunes prefs>Advanced>Burning and make sure you select the correct burner from the drop down menu when you want to switch burners.

  • Using Lacie DVD enclosure with new HDD : Will it work ?

    May be a silly question. Seems that my Lacie Firewire 400 External DVD burner with a 7.5 " enclosure is no longer working. Should I decide to buy an External Drive
    for my Powermac G4. Will I encounter any difficulties installing the drive ?
    Comments welcome.

    With FireWire, you may not have any problems, but there's always the possibility that the bridge board in the enclosure isn't programmed for use with a hard drive (fixed media). An optical drive is classified as a removable media device. I tried connecting a hard drive to the bridge board from a Sony DVD burner enclosure with FireWire/USB 2.0 connectivity, but it wasn't recognized. Try it - you won't damage anything, but make sure the hard drive is configured as "master" and not the factory default of "cable select."

  • Can I use imovie to save a song and import to itunes?

    I've got a couple of songs that I'm editing and splicing together. I then want to save them to iTunes and put on my ipod. Can I do that with imovie? I've edited the songs, but it says I can't share without video, and for whatever reason, when I add the video I can get it to itunes, but it won't sync to my ipod. Any thoughts?

    Never mind. I figured it out.

  • Correct way to burn DVD-R Dual Layer? Power Mac G5 or MBP Early 2008?

    I have several software titles I have purchased and they are on dual layer dvd, I am using Philips DVD-R dual layer, I have a Power Mac G5 and an early 2008 Mac Book Pro, I have been unable to successfully burn a back-up on either drive. I am noticing dual layer seem to be an major problem across the board, but in the past this has been the place I come to get my answers.

  • DVD WILL NOT BURN IN IDVD

    Trying to burn a project in IDVD, goes through the entire process up to "Writing Lead-In" and about 6 minutes left, the disk is ejected automatically. When put back in process gets hung up. Have also saved as a "Disk Image on my desktop and plays with no issues via the DVD software. When I select to burn to Disc, within 1 minute disk is ejected and this message comes up "The Disk can"t burn, because the device failed to calibrate the Laser Power for this Media". Is this a software or hardware issue? Or something else

    Hi
    • Trashing pref file - first thing to do (free and easy)
    • Cheap media is often a problem - I use Verbatim DVD-R and burn at x4 speed
    • Free space - is important BUT only on start-up hard disk (others doesn't matter)
    *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)

    • 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
    EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

  • Verbatim DVD+R Dual Layer 8.5GB Printable Discs - Anyone?

    Just wondered if anyone had used Verbatim DVD+R Dual Layer 8.5GB Printable Discs or even just DVD+R Dual Layer Discs in their superdrive and whether they had been compatible ok? Im thinking of buying some but want to ensure compatability before i buy because theyre very expensive!
    Cheers
    Rowan

    i am burning as we speak, a verbatim dual layer dvd and have had no problem.
    Unfortunately, that wasn't the question. You are probably using Verbatim DVD plus sign R DL, whereas Graham is asking about DVD minus sign R DL. Please qavvik, check out that little detail on the discs you are burning and let us know.
    Graham's question is actually extremely timely for current iMac users. Anybody know for sure if these new -R DL discs are compatible with the current SuperDrives, such as the Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K04L? Did Graham get a bad batch?

  • TS2180 DVDs won't play in regular DVD players iDVD burns with no errors the DVDs always get out into a folder ???

    Dear Apple friends The iDVD burns DVDs with-out any error messages but DVDs dont play in regular DVD players I notice that the DVD burns to a folder and there is no setting to prevent this How do you burn the DVD with-out it getting put into a folder ??? Thanks Mike

    That often is a result of using inferior DVD disks and burning at too high a speed.  What brand and type of disk did you use and what speed did you burn at?
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • I transferred home movies from VHS to DVD. How do I import the data into imovie.

    I transferred home movies from VHS to DVD. I can open the data using the DVD Player but I cannot import data into imovie.  Any ideas?

    Another option is to download the free app MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 here:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    After loading the DVD on your Mac, drag the icon onto Streamclip's window. From the menu choose File>Export to QuickTime then for Compression select the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). Adjust the quality slider from 50% to about 75% - that should give good quality at a reasonable file size. Leave other settings as they are and click on Make Movie. From the next box, choose a name for the file (it will be a .mov file) and a save location (say Desktop).
    The saved .mov file can now be imported to an Event and edited if desired in iMovie.
    Note that you may be asked to instal a file from Apple. It's named QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X. It's priced at US$19.99 and is available from the US Apple Store here:

  • Anyone using LaCie Internal dual layer LightScribe DVD burner in G4?

    Anyone using this drive in a PowerMac G4? Any issues?

    I'm using an ibook g4 with 512 ram, and a LaCie DVD DL burner with lightscribe (external). I'm quite satisfied with performance. Just make sure that you get the proper software for the mac with the burner (in the box) if you get lightscribe. If you don't, check limewire on a saturday or sunday to get it from me, then go to the LaCie website and download any and all updates.
    good luck.

  • When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message  "The registry settings used by the I tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software  Please reinstall

    When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
    "The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
      This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
    To my knowledge no new software has been installed.  I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still
    get the same message.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions?  Do I need to download a new driver?
    Bill Martin

    I can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
    Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
    If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
    On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
    Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
    Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
