What about DVD burning ? Any application available yet ? Toast, Popcorn ...

I was just wondering how to copy and burn DVD's and CD's using the MacBook Pro.
I have not heard of Toast or popcorn being universal yet !
Are there anything out there yet that can be used for the MacBooks ?
Regards,
Powerbook G4, Tiger, Ibook G4, Ibook G3, 5G Ipod, Nano, mini Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Is this Toast 7 or Toast 6? I only have 6, and haven’t tried it yet.
Anyway, Disk Utility should work. Create an disk image of a CD onto the HD, then burn that image onto a blank CD. 2 steps, but should still work. Probably only works on single partition disks though. i.e. not those PC/Mac disks.
I haven’t use this software, but found it on my travels. Claims to work on Intel Macs:

What external dvd burner is compatible with my 2007 mac mini running OS X 10.5.8?

What external dvd burner is compatible with my 2007 mac mini running OS X 10.5.8?

I have an LG GE24LU20 and works great with either my iMac or Mac Mini.
LG GE24LU20 Optical Drives - 24x External Super-Multi DVD Rewriter - LG Electronics US
Heck' I can even open and close the tray from my menu bar icon,
plus it is way faster and less finicky than the superdrives.

What external DVD burner can I use on my older IMAC using OS 10.4.11?

What external DVD burner can I use on my older IMAC using OS10.4.11? I am working on a IMovie project using I movie 6? and I want to finish this before purchasing my new computer. Thanks, Dr. Steve

unless you have one of the latest models of an imac g4 with usb 2.0 i would suggest a firewire burner instead. they're a little harder to find but they're still out there.

Questions about DVD burner

So I'm shopping for a DVD burner and I see this:
"System Requirements
Mac
256MB RAM
Mac Intel and Power Mac G4 500 Mhz"
My computer is 400 Mhz so I can't buy this ?
Another burner says:
"system requirement:
Mac OS 10.3.9 / Linux-based system / Win 2000, XP, Vista
Power PC G4 or higher, Mac Intel proc / Pentium IV proc or higher"
Is this phrase
"Power PC G4 or higher, Mac Intel proc / Pentium IV proc or higher" refering to 3 different things ?
They can't mean a "Power PC G4 with Mac Intel proc since the G4 (at least those from 1999 like mine) are with the Power PC. (Apple switched to Intel in 2005).
On the other hand G4 were manufactured in '05 and '06 too I believe, (not sure when the G5 came out) so what does that mean ? I can't buy this DVD burner ?

yea almost any IDE drive will work on your system.
i bought a Pioneer DVR-110D and installed it on my Beige G3 when it still had the G3 266mhz cpu in it. i had to replace the Apple CD/DVD driver extension and mod the PioneerCDR authoring extension ( to gain finder burn and iTunes burn support)
but after than my drive works 100% in OS 9.2.2 now and has never failed me yet
with any drive will show system requirements but as said above those only concern doing video related editing and making dvd video's.
but it will burn DVD data(DVD-R and RW media only) , play dvd movies, burn CDs just fine
you wont be able to burn DVD+R RW media or DVD DL media in OS 9 cause it dont know how to handle that type of media, you can sometimes read DVD+ media in OS 9.2.2 if its burned a certain way with a OS that is capable of burning the DVD+ media in a certain way.
i dont know if there is software for OS 9.2.2 so it can gain the ability to reconize DVD+ media or not ( more than likely not)

Dvd burner and application

afternoon
where can i tell on my macbook if i have a dvd burner, and if i do, what application would i use to burn dvd's. does the macbook come with anything pre installed?
says i have
DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
when i look in about this mac
many thanks in advance
Tracy

You can look at system profiler to see what you have.
Or just go to the apple icon on the menu, then about this mac then click the system information button.
Based on what you posted you have a DVD burner.
Also 10.5.x can burn DVD data disc by default. There are many ways to go about this here is one:
Highlight the folder you want copied. In finder go File > then there will be an option towards the bottom to burn those folders.
You can also set up a burn folder so you can drag files to there then click burn. Or set up a folder with a predetermined size (CD/DVD) and drag things there. Or use Disc Utilities.

Can you put purchased DVD movies onto your ipod? also what about DVD moies that you have that are recorded, not bought? and if you can how do you do it?

"Can you put purchased DVD movies that you have on your ipod? "
No. breaking the encryption in order to copy them illegal.
" what about recorded DVD's that you have? "
Add them to itunes.

Dual layer DVD burner any time soon?

I have an old PowerBook 1.33ghz. I'm itching to replace it with a MacBookPro. I upgraded this PowerBook with a dual layer DVD burner, and I use it a lot. I moved to the US from the UK and send many DVD's back to family and friends in the UK. I can't live without the dual layer DVD writer, plus backing up requires less DVD's and hence less space on my shelves.
Anyone here know when Apple will release a model with a dual layer DVD writer? I refuse to buy an external.
This old G4 has better DVD support than Apples flagship portable computer, doesn't seem right does it. I keep thinking I can live without dual layer, but its just such a step back.
Anyone know of when this may change and MacBookPro will get a dual layer burner? I dont know how long I can wait to get my hands on the new MacBookPro . . .

As soon as the industry can make one (so thin). I'll be buying one to replace it on my MBP. Might be Blu-ray

What free DVD burner software can I download that fits my computer'sspecifications?

Apple Imac G4

If all you want to do is burn a file to a DVD, all you need is Finder's burn.
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Burning a CD or DVD - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh854.html

What HDD/DVD player/recorders are available?

I want to record tv shows with a dvd player/recorder that has an hdd. My old Philips dvr analog one has died. I have cable tv but I have no cable box, the cable card in the Sony LCD receives the digital channels. I do not want to subscribe to something like Tivo. What's out there that can record tv easily?

Very slow DVD burning & any monitoring software?

Although I've owned my iMac for months I've only just tried burning some data DVDs from Finder and the speed is unbelievably slow - though successful. I'd estimate its running at 1x or 2x
I'm using 8x Ritek -R media which burns at 8x in other PC drives.
Any ideas on how to
1. speed it up
2. turn off verification
3. monitor/check the speed it's actually burning at?
Thanks

Any fixes available yet to the 4.3 "upgrade" ??

Like apparently thousands of others, I have had problems with my wifi connection after the 4.3 update. I tried switching off the auto network switch in the advanced settings (that seemed to work for awhile), I tried safe mode with no improvement. The phone keeps scanning for a connection, and when I select my home network (the wireless router is 2 ft, away), it says "Authentication error occurred" I haven't seen anyone with this message yet. I have triple checked the network key, and my wife's I phone (4) on Sprint has no trouble connecting. Same with her Sony Vaio laptop, and with my old Dell laptop. Never had any problems before connecting with my S4. While the S4 is more powerful and has some unique features (most of which I have disabled, because they are unnecessary and somewhat creepy), it seems that I had a much better overall experience with my old HTC Evo on Sprint.
I have tried to scroll to the latest comments, but have not been able to see if there is finally a fix for this.

You need to start with looking elsewhere, the phone might not be the problem. Make sure your router's software drivers are up to date. even if all your other electronics hook up to wifi the S4 is the latest hardware and some settings in your router might not be compatable. Change some router settings, like channel number. I like to use channel 11, and broadcast frequency, I use the 2 Ghz band. Stay away from auto modes if they are offered. Reset up your wifi, delete all old passwords and start fresh. Set the phone up to the router first, then the rest of the electronics. I did all this stuff and the phone works great with the 4 year old Belkin router. I even have auto network switch setting on the S4 turned on and the phone switches between data and wifi as needed. I am using 4.3 upgrade for three weeks and have not had any issues.
Good luck

Help, I have an imac 11.1 with an optical dvd burner. It has died. What external dvd burner willl work? I tried the apple superdrive but it was not recognized.

I have an imac 11.1 running 10.6.8. The internal optical drive has stopped working. I ordered an apple superdrive and it did not reconize it. What external drive can I hook up?

Are there any adapters available yet, or are we waiting on Scosche?

I see that Scosche has slipped their release date from June to July. Has anyone else (Griffin, Belkin, etc.) beat them to the market?
http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/210/sfID2/343/productID/1726

Just got the Belkin adapter at Best Buy this morning. Works great. You can use any headphones, use it in the car with a line-in and I will also be able to use my iPod Shuffle in the pool using a dry bag and waterproof headphones.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9316135&st=belkin+shuffle&lp=1&typ e=product&cp=1&id=1218083841083
They were $19.99. I couldn't wait for Scosche. Kept putting the date back. You snooze you lose.

Any APP available yet for watching BT Sport of SMA...

Been a long while since I last checked, can watch BT sports on PC ... but obvious place to watch it is on SMARTTV ... have BT got around to prodcuing an app yet ?
Like Demand4 ITVPlyaer etc.
It is frustrating having the BT sports channel in the channel list but not being able to access them, and as PC is in different part of house ... that is not an option.
I know I could use a phone but don't want to tie another device to the TV.

I don't see how it is a Logistical nightmare my SMART TV has Apps for many viewers .. BBC, ITV, 4oD, Ch5, Netflix, BBC Sport, Amazon, BlinkBox, TED, GOLD, Youtube, Vimeo etc. These companies seem to keepo up to date with no isssues.
If BT Sports wish to be taken serioulsy then provision of a player would be an obvious direction ... it is frustrating when BT tell me I get this free as a customer but cannot view it on TV without buying seperate h/w.
The whole premise of SMART TV apps is that you can watch without seperate h/w
A year ago BT said it was planned.
