What type of DVD?

What type of DVD (DVD+R,DVD+RW,DVD-R,DVD-RW) should I use to burn videos from my video camera that are now on iMovie?

You can go to the apple menu, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware and then the DVD drive you have to find out if there are specifications given on the drive only supporting certain types of DVDs. Otherwise it should support any of the formats.

What type of DVD should I use for Windows Backup?

I am wanting to do my Windows Backup and I was wondering what type of DVD media I should use. Is it better to use a RW or only R type DVD.
I have an HP Omni 220-1180qd, A5W89AV#ABA, running Win7 64 bit.
I thought I read it can use CD's, DVD's but I want to know which would be the better choice.
Thanks for any help and all help is appreciated.

Honestly, an external hard drive would be a better choice. The difference between +R and +R/W is that +R is "Recordable" and +R/W is "Re-Writable". If you intend on making periodic backups, go with an extrernal hard drive... If you intend on making very few backups, consider the DVD+R discs.

What type of DVD burns on a Mac r or -r?

Need to know what type of DVD to purchase to burn a movie. DVD+R or DVD-R for a Mac.

Depends on what machine you intend to use it on.
Most Mac's should be able to do both DVD-R and DVD+R formats it's the other device you got to worry about.
The important thing is get the small batch of DVD's first and try a few burns and test them on the other machine.
Then you can buy the big stack.
Some makes of DVD's are better (or worse) than others. Also there seems to be a heat or time issue with then as well, so don't pick up the stack with a lot of dust on it.
Leave the DVD's in the case only extract one as you use it and never return one to the case, don't touch the bottom ever or lay the bottom on something hard.
finicky things those DVDs, got to try a few to get a burn sometimes.

What type of dvd drive enclosure do I need?

I have a 2008 Macbook Pro PRE unibody that I put a solid state drive in the standard HD and moved the standard HD to the dvd drive slot.   Now its time to buy a DVD drive enclosure but I cant seem to find one/figure out exactly what to buy.
I understand I need a PATA style DVD enclosure.   As thats what I bought for a caddy for my HD to put in that slot.    But all the enclosures I see that are PATA say they're for Powerbooks and older Macs.
Does anyone have a link to an external DVD drive enclosure I can order?
Thank you.

Thanks, but I don't see any enclosures. I see total dvd drives. I have my Superdrive that still works and just need an enclosure for it.   Theres a ton of them on Amazon, just don't know which version.
Thanks for the reply. Good to know that worst case I can buy an all inclusive setup for 60 bucks.

What type of dvd's should i buy to back up my data?

I know the answer to this is prolly the kind that is on apple's website. But I was wondering what brand of recordable dvd'd people have had good luck with. Thank you very much for your time
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I have always had the best luck with either TDK (preferred) or Fuji. I have yet to burn a coaster with either brand.
There is a nice brand commentary HERE and my experience seems to reflect what they have discovered.

What type of DVD works?

Sorry if this is posted ... I browsed a few pages and didn't find what I needed.
I have a 1.67 GHz PowerBook G4 with MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E
I made a small (2 minute) iMovie slideshow from stills with music using iMovie 5 and exported to iDVD 5, keeping it very simple. I burned a DVD, but it didn't play.
I had purchased Memorex DVD-R 16X DVDs and suspect that may be the problem, but haven't been able to find out whether that is the case. Any quick recommendations?
More about the drive:
Firmware Revision: DMP2
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Media: No

Disk image played fine, so that's one step forward.
Yep, I know Verbatim make both CDs and DVDs, and if I do lots of this and need them, I'll try the mail order route. [Last time I was having CD trouble, turned out it wasn't the CDs, my drive needed replacing! ] I'm in the US, BTW.
This is my first venture (obviously) with iMovie and iDVD, and I think I'm going to enjoy it, but I thought I had the media covered with my purchase and spent so much time tinkering that now I have to hope that whatever I can find in stores in the 8X version will work for me ... got to get this done.
Much gratitude to you for answering so promptly!
I'm off to shop...

You need an app like Toast by Roxio (http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/default.html). You would use Toast to burn the videos to a DVD-R disc.

What type of hard disk should I use if I want to use it on mac and windows?

Hey Forum,
I am using windows xp on my macbook (snow leopard). I came across some dealers who say that there are hard disks for mac only and for both mac and windows. So, I wanted to buy a hard disk so that I can use it both on mac and windows xp, so what type of hard disk should I use? Must I partition into 2?
or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.
All of your replies and suggestions is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Ala.

Run, don't walk, from that dealer! and never look back
Once in a very long while Apple will have customized firmware on drives, and it is possible to find SCSI/SAS or drives that are destined to be used with high end storage controllers.
But that is the exception that makes the rule.
SATA is SATA. Though.... there are now SATA III drives that don't work in XP, or that need a jumper, and Seagate and some drives have managed to deliver firmware that has caused trouble... and Apple has had to issue firmware updates to help compatibility....
