Why is there 526k in DVD-Rom?

The DVD-ROM Content field in the project is empty, but the screen says there is 526k used by DVD-Rom... why?
Is this an amount used by some sort of overhead?

Well, that 526k is clearly some kind of overhead... I created a new project with no assets (did nothing at all) and it shows the same 526k as already being used
So... I'll just ignore and get on with other work

Dvd drive suddenly stopped reading disks is there a usb dvd rom that can be used temporarily

my dvd stopped working I then bought the targus external usb dvd player and then it didnt work either does anyone know if there is a temporary fix

The drive very probably needs to be replaced. You have tried everything else possible, but one thing. Try to boot from the drive using your system recovery disks. If the drive can boot the hardware is not bad and it is a Windows problem. It is not a registry error or the drive would not show up in My Computer. If it is a Windows problem it is an odd one.

16X DVD Rom drive?????? WHY?????

WHY is it most people list their DVD Rom drive as being 16X????
ALL DVD drives are 16X anyway.
If there were other speeds then that would be different but there are not.

Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can it be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can this numbert be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

I cannot see why DVD @CCESS and DVD-ROM content are not working properly

Hi,
I am very new to DSP, and I know I am missing a piece of the jigsaw, but I do not know what it is. I used a tutorial from creative cow to try and make the @CCEESS function work, but no dice… for now at least. When I did a build/format (to the HDD) everything went fine. I mounted the image, and I could see the DVD @CCESS folder and the DVD–ROM content on the DVD image. When I went to play the image, the button did not work. The content I am trying to use with @CCESS is a PDF file.
The tutorial I followed was this: http://library.creativecow.net/articles/alexzander_alex/dvdaccess.php
By the way, I am using is 4.2.2
Help or just counsel is appreciated.

As Eric said - DVD@ccess is really not that useful. It was a way to get documents like PDFs to automatically launch in the application (like Acrobat) when watching a DVD on a computer. Since they can't launch on a set top player the technology was already limited. Then the whole issue of getting it to work on a PC arose - it simply wasn't reliable. I managed to produce one disc that was replicated with @ccess links, but I knew the parameters for it's use in advance and managed to get it to work. It doesn't work on modern machines.
For a while there was a Sonic app which was much better at getting this sort of thing to work, but you had to work on a OC to set it up. Sonic pulled the app shortly after I bought it (sigh) and never replaced it. The fact is, automating document launches and web links is actually pretty tricky on a DVD, the results were variable and it never really enhanced your discs like you wanted to think it would!
If all you want to do is include a PDF file on the disc, and alert viewers to it being there, you only need to use the ROM content functions not @ccess, and you can use a menu screen to give instructions to people to let them know how to find it.

Video DVD-ROM works on EVERYTHING except "new" Macs

I've got a video on DVD-ROM that will play on PC, stand-alone players, G4s, G5s and a year old Intel mini. It will not play on "new" (within 6 months?) Apple machines. I don't know if it's hardware -- I've tested it on Pioneer, Sony and NEC drives and they all read it.
Any suggestions as to why the newer Macs have trouble?

Update: I tried the disc on more than a dozen macs at the local electronics stores(from iMac to Mini, Macbook to Powerbook Pro) and it works fine.
Question: Is there a security setting or some such that would prevent the video from playing on a particular company's systems? or drive maintenance?

Help finding dvd rom for powerbook G3 M3553

I have an apple laptop powerbook G3 M3553 with mac os 8 and am wondering if I can get an internal dvd rom??? Any help is much appreciated!!

Jamie,
There are no "dummies", just users who are seeking answers.
I'm glad you explained why you wanted a DVD drive, and if I understand correctly, it is so your husband can watch DVD movies on the "Kanga" powerbook. Unfortunately, this is not going to work. A DVD drive can be connected either via the SCSI (square 30-pin port) on the back panel or possibly via a FireWire PC card inserted in the PCMCIA card slot on the left side of the powerbook. However, you would need third-party video player software like VideoLan's VLV Media Player, but there is no version for OS 9.x.
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
In addition, even if there were DVD player software for 9.x, your playback would be very disappointing. Even using VLC on a Powerbook G3 Bronze Keyboard running OSX with a 400MHz CPU, playback is choppy. Your G3 Kanga only has a 250MHz CPU.
When DVDs first became popular, video CDs (VCD) were also released to meet the needs of those without DVD drives, and were widely available in the Far East. However, I have not checked on the availability of these versions locally and I would assume few stores carry a wide selection, if any. This would be the only practical way of playing movies on the Kanga.
http://www.mireth.com/doc/macvcd_readme.html
My suggestion would be to buy a portable DVD player with prices anywhere from $125 and up.

Missing DVD-ROM content

I am using a freshly built MacPro with 10.5.1 and iDVD 7.0.1
I have a 19 minute video from iMovie 6.0.4 ( I do not like iMovie '08).
My problem involves about 270 high resolution images in .jpg format want to include as 3 slide shows and as DVD-ROM content.
No matter how I try when I make the DVD (or now I make an image) from iDVD it fails to provide the DVD-ROM content correctly. In each case I MAY get a single image from each of the slideshows in the DVD-ROM/Slideshows subfolders.
I have also tried for each slide show to deselect the "Include images as DVD ROM content" and then add each folder using the "Edit DVD-ROM Content..." menu item and get very similar results. I've even added a simple readme.txt file that fails to get added to the DVD-ROM contents folder.
Each image is between 2 and 5 MB. According to the "Project Info..." window all file statuses are checked as fine and the total size of the DVD should be 1.93 GB.
Any ideas why iDVD is failing to add my desired images to the ROM content?
I also thought of changing the created .img file to a larger size and then Read/Write so I could then drag and drop in my own ROM content. However it appears Apple's Disk Utility does not resize UDF volumes. So if there is a suggestion on how to resize the UDF then send that along and I'll try that also.
thanks

Any ideas why iDVD is failing to add my desired images to the ROM content?
This issue comes up from time to time and SO FAR, the issue has always been trying to exceed the total capacity of a DVD. I'm not sure the Project Window accurately includes the DVD-ROM size.
A 19 minute movie and menus could easily add up to 1.3GB; then you have to figure in the space for the slideshows so your 'normal' DVD contents could easily be 1.9GB (or more).
If you put all 270 high resolution images in one folder, what would the folder size be?

Getting "error -50" when trying to play Online Class DVD-Rom

Hello everyone,
So the way my online statistics class lecture works is a DVD-Rom gets popped in my comp, and it opens the browser as the DVD-Rom menu. Then I click a chapter and a quicktime movie/video player window is supposed to pop up and play my lecture. It doesn't work on my computer. I am running a high quality computer that has the capability to run a full-fledged professional recording studio. It is really annoying that this won't work. My error says: "error -50: an unknown error occured". I tried updating, uninstalling, and re-installing. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi
This is an easy Q: to set - but there is no simple and plain answer only a lot of more or less plausibly suggestions.
Error -50 = paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ?
If so it Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk 11Gb is on the limit to work when You select Export and might be it.
Video used - there are several video formats/codecs and iMovie can not use all of them, they evolve to fast.
• So try to find out by opening a raw video in QuickTime-player and then open Inspector (cmd+I) and read
Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnn
What does it read ?
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
I convert all audio to .aiff - in iTunes I burn out as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3) and use the files on this in my movie projects.
Some times it's needed to trash the "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file in You USER-Library/Preferences (not Library on Root level (when opening Macintosh HD) - but the one in Your home folder.
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

DVD-ROM drive not detected in WinXP

If you need to know my system specs, they're in my signature. Anyways...
For the past month, I've been struggling to get my new AMD64 up and running. First the processor was bad, then the board, AMD had sent the wrong processor (I bought an Athlon64 2800+, they had sent back an Athlon XP 2800+, which would have made me angry had they not upgraded me to 3000+ for the mixup :D).
Finally got my computer back and everything seemed to work, then I started having problems (a random device would lose power during regular operation, forcing me to reboot and have another problem). Went out, bought a new case with a 500w PSU. Gutted my old case, put all the stuff in the new case, turned it on, things were fine. I was able to load WinXP onto an SATA drive I bought with no problems.
After WinXP was finally installed (and I got all my stuff from the PATA HDD :P), I went to update all the drivers and such when I noticed that there was NO CD-ROM drive. I'm not sure what it could be; it's the only thing on the primary IDE channel and it's set as the Master, and it worked fine to actually install Windows XP, so I'm not all too sure why it's not showing up.
If you guys have any ideas on how I can make it show up, I'd be most appreciated.

I've tried all that, but it didn't do anything.
See, here's the thing: The BIOS can see the drive just fine; I can boot from and install WinXP just fine. Once the installation is finished, however, I can't see the drive in Windows anymore...it's almost like it's not there anymore. I checked the connections of the IDE cable, and even took out my 40GB drive to put the DVD-ROM on the 2nd IDE channel and that doesn't work. I can confidently say that both IDE cables work properly since the BIOS can always find the drives that are connected to it, and Windows was able to see the hard disk regardless of what IDE channel it was on. Nothing has worked though.
I am getting desperate at this point; I have 3 other computers that I need to work on, but before I can do that I need a working PC of my own. I'll take any ideas you guys can give me. :(

Satellite A200-23P - DVD-rom mechanic not working

I am sorry for my English in advance this topic! - Thanks
I have very big problem with my DVD writer (rom).
I bought SAT A200-23P three weeks ago.
The OS Win VISTA was installed. DVD-rom worked good.
If I installed Win XP to second partition on my HDD (before I make install disc with driver for sata disc in nlite) and installed all drivers and utilities for Toshiba notebook, I found that my DVD-rom does not respond while I press eject button.
DVD mechanic does not respond for eject in the XP and not even in BIOS!
Interesting is, DVD mechanic is detecting in BIOS, is detecting in XP, operating system XP votes - DVD mechanic working correctly - its fable.
However, if I installed XP on second partition, Win Vista does not load :(
I don't have a second chance for second selection (Vista and XP).
I have now XP only, even if Vista is on first partition - I didnt delete it.
Do you think the DVD-rom is HW or SW problem?
I think, seeing that DVD-rom not respond in BIOS - HW error.
But is very strange, if I install XP from DVD mechanic and close then is done, DVD-rom not working ... : (
If I open it manually and insert the disc, DVD not working (led diode not blink, just if I turn computer off, led blinked once).
PLS help me somebody -
THANKS!

Hi Michal
Your issue is very strange I mean the CD/DVD drive issue
Fact is that the CD/DVD drives eject function should functions no matter what OS was installed on your notebook. It has nothing to do with your software on the HDD.
So I wonder why the eject button works with Vista and not with preinstalled XP OS ?:|
My only plausible explanation is that sometimes there is a loose connection between the notebook and the drive. At the other hand the issue could be related to the hardware problem too
As you see its not easy to say whats wrong exactly we can only speculate.
Now some details about your dual OS installation.
You cannot choose between the Windows XP and Vista because the Vista boot manager was overwritten during the Win XP installation.
This happened to me too. I have installed Win XP on my Satellite and was not able to start Vista.
The solution was easy; I have used another original Vista DVD (from my friend) and booted from this DVD. The Vista has renewed the boot manager and then I was able to boot the Vista.
Then I have downloaded the tool called Easy BCD.
This tool can change the settings the Vista boot manager. I have edited it and inserted a new Windwos XP OS entry.
Thats it!

Bought DVD-ROM Drive and still not better....

I have spent money to upgrade the DVD-ROM on the G3 and still the picture is no better.
I know you guys like to send articles, but they really don;t help somebody who knows very little about the computers. Talk to me, give me directions like I'm a 5-year old.
Why is the picture not running fast enough? It's jumping from shot to shot, no matter what DVD is in the machine.
How do I fix this? Is there a program out there I should download?

Thanks for the replies so far. I have inserted my answers with the >>>>>>> preceding.
Just to make sure you are booting to 9.x (and I am sure you are), opening About This Mac under the Apple menu should display the Mac OS 9.2 logo.
When I startup my computer, OSX shows up. I guess I am booting to OSX.
If nothing is under the Apple menu except Preferences, there may be some problems with your OS. There is also the possibility that the former user modified/simplified what items load in 9.x because he wanted a simple OS9 to run as Classic when booted to OSX. I am reluctant to ask this question, but are you clicking on the Apple itself or possibly one of the items in the menu bar like File, Edit (has Preferences under it), View, etc?
I think when I installed OSX to do my newspaper thing, I set it to automatically boot up to OSX.
Assuming you are missing the items under the Apple (and Preferences should not be there), try this:
1. Open the HD icon in the top, right corner. You should see a window with these items:
Believe it or not, there is not an HD Icon on my desktop. There is an icon for OSX and one for OS9. I clicked on the one for OS9 and went to the control panel and did what you said with the extension manager, but it said it couldn't be changed and wanted to know if I wanted to make a duplicate copy that could be changed. What?
Anyway, I went there and tried to do what you said to do and the DVD I put in still is not running right.
Applications (MacOS 9)
Applications
Desktop Folder
Library
System Folder (this is the System Folder for 9.x)
System (this is the System for OSX)
Users
2. Double-click on the System Folder (not System) to open. You should see a long list of folders, one of which is the Control Panels folder; there will also be a Control Panels (Disabled) folder under it. When you open the Control Panels folder, look for the Extensions Manager and double-click it open. You will see a list of control panels...open the Extensions Manager. At the top of the Extensions Manager window, you will see a 'Select Set:' drop-down menu; select MacOS 9.2.2 All. If there is no Extensions Manager, it should then be in the Control Panels (Disabled). Now close all windows, then restart the computer.
If you now have items under the Apple menu, proceed with the suggestions proffered in my earlier post. If items are still missing, please post back.
The only things I have under the apple menu (which I am checking the one in the left-hand corner on the top-- don;t be afraid to ask me anything, it won't offend me) are system preferences, software update, mac osx software, system preferences, dock, location, force quit, sleep, restart, shut down, log out.
That's it.
Perhaps I'm not doign something right? Got any other suggestions? Remember, I am not too smart when it comes to these things. Don't be afraid to tell or ask me to do anything, even if it is simple.
Question: Do you have a MacOS 9.x CD?
No. I did not get anything but the computer when I bought it off of eBay. Do I need one, and if I do, where do I get one?
Thanks and reply soon.
