Which DVD for X200 Ultrabase

Can anyone please tell me which DVD drives will work for the X200 ultrabase? I want to be able to read both CD and DVD media and RW to either the CD or DVD. I can't figure out which one is compatible with the X200 ultrabase and I need it ASAP.
Thanks,
Knit

The X200 Ultrabase looks like a new item. I screwed up and didn't order one w my X200, and now the price is higher. Hoping for that rumored 25% off on accessories coupon...
Note the HD adaptor is just that, an adaptor, not an HDD - and its designed to fit in an Ultrabay. (sorry for the long link)

I plan to see if a 2.5" SATA drive can be fitted w/o this $50 piece of plastic.
Likewise, I suspect that selected aftermarket Slim SATA DVD/RW drives may work if one is careful of specs. For example, I see a Lite On unit for $50 at New Egg.

Which DVD for my iMacG5 ???

Hello, I have a iMac G5 2Gz 2Mo bought at the end of September 2005
provided with Superdrive Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K04L.
All the DVD 8X or 16X (Sony and Verbatim) are burned only in 2X
maximum!!
Why, and can one update the firmware of this modelr?
Thank you:
Mic

I have the iMac 20" before isight model. The drive would burn CDs read most CD's, Hardly burn a single DVD. Most of the DVD's would fail burn some would not read at all. Called Apple support ( I have appple care) They blamed it on the media. Probably spent $100 trying different media. No help. The Drive is a DVR-K04PB and only writes DVD-Rs at 4X. Apple doesn't even have their brand DVD-R at 4X anymore. I finally decidesd to ditch the crapy drive and purchase and install it myself with out any support from Applecare. I am glad I paid for the apple care, Not!. Anyway I purchased form OWC a direct replacement (supposed to be the exact drive Apple uses in the new imacs). It burns dual layer and will burn at 8X for single layer and also excepts dvd+r discs. Anyway I thought it was simply to install and the best part is I can now burn DVD's and they work. That $100 I spent trying different media. Now I can start using that media to back up my hardrive and make iDVD's. I am glad I took matters in my own hands.

X200 Ultrabase - charging second battery.

I checked the specifications for X200 Ultrabase and it says there that it has an option to charge second battery. Can you charge the battery while the laptop is not in Ultrabase? My X3 Ultrabase couldn't do that... Also, can it charge batteries of all sizes (3, 6 and 9-cell)?
Thanks in advance for replies.

OK after some severe searching, I found it. There IS a second battery charging feature on the X200 UltraBase!
Thank goodness for Lenovo Service and Support Training!
There's no information about this neat new second battery charging feature in the Lenovo online store. No information on the Lenovo Service and Support website either! It's not even mentioned in the X200 Ultrabase User Guide!
But the training guys nailed it.
Go to http://www.lenovoservicetraining.com/ion/ and navigate to Notebooks > ThinkPad > X200 > Videos. A video popup window will open. Go to the X200 UltraBase videos and watch them. You'll see the second battery charging port in action!
The X200 UltraBase Locations video shows the second battery charging connector.
The X200 Insertion and Removal videos shows a second battery being connected and disconnected.
So my earlier post was WRONG. I should have been harshing on Lenovo for hiding a great new feature!
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

X200 Ultrabase DVD RW

Hi,
Can someone confirm if part No 3924848 will fit in X200 ultrabase DVD slot.
I understand that Ultrabase slim is 9.5 DVD not regular 12 laptop DVD slot.
3924848 is a 9.5" DVD but wanted to confirm about back connectors.
Also are there any after market DVD RW which can fit in X200 ultrabase.
Thanks
Deepak

you need a SATA interface Ultrabay slim drive not the PATA interface ultrabay slim drive used in X6 ultrabase, T4x/6x or Z6x..

Which DVD to iPod Method (for windows) has the highest quality?

Hi everyone! This is the first thread I have started! *pats himself on back*...
...O.K. down to buisness...
Does anyone know or tested which dvd to ipod conversion method is best? I have looked at most of the threads here about the conversion methods, and I was wondering which had the highest quality picture, quickest conversion time, and taks up the least memory. Feel free to post your opinions, but I feel tested responces are more helpful. Thx for your time...

'dvd decrypter' is phenominal. all it essentially does is takes the '.vob. file off the dvd. it takes up alot of space, but the quality is perfect. somewhere on videora.com there is a link... its free too. as for a converter, ive tryed most of them, and totally preferred videora, onyl because it converts any type of file.

Which DVD are good for burning

I tried many different dvd/cd for burning movies and music, but they are not all working very well.
Does somebody knows which dvd are good for burning movies and music.

Hi Sue,
Thanks for your answer. I bought them also before, but it seems that not all working very good.
I burned dvd's and play them on my Home theather. Beginning good, later it gave reading problems. What I also know is: Dvd players from 40 euro's works better then one from 1600 euro's.
I shall buy the -R this week and hopefully the work better.

UltraBay CD/DVD Combo Drive Compatibility with X200 UltraBase

I have a T500 with a CD-RW / DVD-ROM drive (part #44C1930). Wondering if this drive is compatible with the X200 Ultrabase or I need to get a whole new drive altogether?
Help would be appreciated.

if it is from the T400, T500 or W500 then it is compatible with the X200 ultrabase.

How do I make a DVD for a TV without idvd which is not on my new iMac?

I have a new imac (a pc user) and I made an imovie but now I can't make a DVD because apple no longer includes idvd. I have searched the web and talked to long time mac users and no one has any suggestions on how to make a DVD for a TV to send out my movies of sale horses.

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to destribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That has worked for some, but is not guaranteed to work for all.
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with Lion. You have to buy iLife 11 from online Apple Store in order to get iDVD. You are strongly recommended to do so soon as it will not be available for much longer.
If you wish, like many others, to complain to Apple, use this link:

X201 + X200 UltraBase + DisplayPort = 30" support

Does the X201 + X200 UltraBase + DisplayPort combo make it possible for me to drive a 30" monitor at 2560x1600? I've only seen specs that say maximum 1920x1200 or 2048xsomething.
Thanks.

yes if you use the DP as it is, or an active DP to DVI converter (like the Dell's one). Passive DP to DVI converter can only support up to WUXGA resolution, which is generally found in 24 inch LCD.
The WQXGA resolution in the 30 inch LCD, needs either the DP or the Dual Link DVI.

X200 ultrabase

Hi - does the X200 ultrabase includes an optical drive or does it has to be purchased separately ?
thanks

The Ultrabase does not include an optical drive, it needs to be purchased sepataely. It also doesn't include an AC Adapter which you may want to consider purchasing as an extra so as you can leave it permanently attached and use the original for travel.
Hope this helps

PAL-authored Final Cut Express project...how to burn to DVD for NTSC audien

Not sure if this is possible...and through searching a few previous posts it sounds like it may require additional software...but what the heck, thought I'd ask anyway ! I operate in UK and have made several FCE movies for friends in the UK which I've burnt onto a DVD and sent to them as gifts. Now I want to do the same for a friend in the States, and I'm wondering how to go about the PAL>>NTSC issue. Would it be easiest to just take the PAL-dvd and pay somebody at Jessops etc to convert it onto a NTSC dvd for me? I don't mind paying a few quid for someone else to do it, especially if it would require me to go out and buy all kinds of software to be able to do it myself... But I'm worried about how the picture files, music, titling, special effects etc would come out. Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks.

Toast 7.x is able to burn a PAL-project on a NTSC-dvd. In the preferences of Toast you can decide wether the output will be a PAL- or a NTSC-dvd.
For friends in Brazil I burned a NTSC-dvd, but I still don't know if it works!
Give it a try on a dvd-rw.

How to make a NTSC DVD for the USA

I want to put some movies on a DVD for some relatives to play on their DVD player in USA which uses NTSC I believe.
How do I convert my PAL footage to play on their machine in iDVD6?

Hi Alexander
Two ways. One bad and one very good.
• Burn a NTSC-project in iDVD - BAD AND LOSY QUALITY
• Open Your movie in JES_Deinterlacer - Google it - it's free and let it convert Your PAL (25fps) project
to NTSC (29.97fps) then start a new iDVD NTSC-project and drop this new converted movie into
this.
This should be enough - BUT You can do more.
• Now Save as a DiskImage to eg Desktop
• Burn this by Apple Disk Util tool or Toast™ - AT AN AS SLOW speed as possible eg x1, x2 or x4
• Burn it on high quality media: I use Verbatim DVDs
• Use DVD-R (not +R or +/-RW)
Doing the last steps gives a DVD that has less writing errors = Can be played on more types of player
eg. stand alone DVD-player or PCs
Yours - HAVE TESTED THIS and got a very good result - confirmed from US: Bengt W

Yes I am an idiot---How to burn content to DVD for TV viewing?

I am sure this has been answered somewhere, but I haven't had any luck finding it. I need idiot-proof step-by-step instructions, if possible.
I am trying to put content from my series 2 TiVo onto DVDs for children's viewing on Sony DVD players in the family room. I have scoured the TiVo and TiVo Community forums but they are too abstruse and technical for me. Given the extremely poor reviews of Popcorn, Toast, Roxio, and Sonic (the current TivoToGo for the Mac solution) I don't want to spend $ and wasted effort.
I have used TiVo Decode Manager to convert TiVo content to MP4 (which works great ONLY on the Mac or iPod). I have used Living Room widget to convert TiVo content to MPEG (which is unreadable on the Mac without buying a Quicktime MP-2 component).
I have burned a Maxell DVD-R using iDVD (it didn't see the MPEG files, but I got them on the DVD using the Burn Folder) which works great on multiple Macs IF run as a Quicktime file or in iTunes. OS X DVD Player doesn't see anything (it asks for Video_TS and Audio_TS files, which aren't there), nor do any Sony DVD players see a disc at all. Please note that I have NO trouble getting TiVo connected to my Mac or transferring content to my Mac.
So, very simple question: I want to burn MP4 or MPEG content that is readable by Sony DVD players. I cannot figure out iDVD to do this. Or do I have to buy Popcorn or Toast?

I want to burn MP4 or MPEG content that is readable by Sony DVD players. I cannot figure out iDVD to do this.
Nope, iDvd won't do this (at least not directly). Toast/Popcorn are better options for what you wish to do.

X200 ultrabase displayport to HDMI

Hello all, I have found numerous entries about this topic, but no definitive answer to my question so I thought I would ask you all.
I have an old x200t (purchased 2008-2009) and to make a long story short the Windows OS license doesn’t work anymore. Consequently for the past 3 years or so the computer became a paperweight. Looking to harvest some functionality out of it I thought about installing ubuntu (or chrome OS... I guess) on the machine and hooking it up to an x200 ultrabase (that I would buy in the future) to display the laptop on an HDTV for the kids (would buy a wireless mouse and keyboard as well). Before I go through all the trouble I had a couple of questions....
1) Does the displayport on an ultrabase work with a laptop running ubuntu or chrome OS? (I am pretty confident that it works with ubuntu, but don't know about chrome. I am considering chrome because kids would primarily be using it and chrome seems like a better fit for them)
2) It seems like for some transmitting audio over a displayport to an hdmi port was an issue, but for others this was not an issue. I am curious if the hardware caused the problem or if this problem was fixed with updated drivers. If it was fixed with a driver, would the driver work on an ubuntu or chrome OS? If it was a hardware issue, is there another solution to the problem besides plugging an aux cord from the computer to the tv. I briefly looked and I didn't see an adapter that would convert a displayport and an aux input to an HDMI output. Many thanks.

Try this:
Applications>Utilities> Audio MIDI setup > Right click your TV/HDMI output > Select as output device *****If this option is not available*********> Click the Gear icon at the bottom left > Choose Create Multi-Output Device > Make the HDMI your Output source > After creation it will show on your list of outputs--Right click your multi-output device and choose as the output.
Voila your TV is now pushing sound....
