Burn movie to DVD disc DVD5

Hello

I have a movie file that is in the format DVD5

My computer is a MacBook Pro running Yosemite.

After I burn this movie to a DVD disc I can not play because it consists of many other files and they are not recognizable and etc.

I used the HandBreake converter that converted the movie in m4v format. After that, it wasn't a problem to burn and watch the movie.

My question: Mac has some utility or the trick that would burn DVD5 format directly to the disc and play without problem?

In other words: DVD5 file have I always convert first before burning?

Thank you

As far as I can tell DVD5 is based on the amount of data on a DVD, nothing to do with the film format. In this regard, it's like you asking, "I have a word on a piece of paper, how I put on a piece of paper?

Most likely your film is in a video DVD format. Open with a DVD player. There is no conversion utilities that are native to the Mac, since with the exception of the home videos just about every movie conversion involves an illegal measure.

This article will tell you 3 ways to solve the problem of the CD/DVD drive do not read the DVD disc. Please the process step by step.

Solution1. Clean the DVD disc

If your Player cannot detect the DVD disc, the first thing you need to do is to clean the DVD disc. Use a soft and dry cloth (not painted) to wipe the disc from the center of the disc to the edge. Please take care to not to use a paper to clean the disc with a circular motion, it will scratch the disc.

After cleaning, inert the DVD on the drive to see if it works, if the reader can't read the disc, use a cloth of cotton wet with water or alcohol to clean the disc. After the disc dry, inert re the disc on the drive. If the reader can read, the operation is complete. If this isn't the case, please turn to the option2.

Option2. Check the disc to see if it has been damaged

Open the drive to check if the DVD reader accumulates dust and dirt, if so, the cold air from the hair dryer allows you to clean the inside of the DVD drive. Be sure to not blow on the optical sensor orally, or clean it with a cloth of cotton with water or alcohol. After cleaning, insert a DVD disc on the drive to see if it works. If still no, you need to call the s command customer service or take the reader to a computer repair shop.

Tecra M4: SelectBay DVD discs

Hello

I wonder if anyone knows if Toshiba plans to bring a better burner SelectBay DVD PA3359E-1DV2 (Slim SelectBay DVD Super Multi Drive).

I would like a DVD burner in my Tecra M4, but this one, the best available seems very less specified by modern office standards. I would have thought that they could, at least, come out with a burner that writes at 4 x speed for all types of DVD disc. In case you're wondering the written PA3359E-1DV2 DVD + RW, DVD - RW and DVD - RAM. DVD - R 4 x and all the rest at 2 x - not very impressive, even if it's a SelectBay module!

The interesting thing about the SelectBay DVD burners is that PA3359E-1DV2 costs less (£160) it is less specified brothers PA3410E-1DV2 and PA3231E-1DV1 (£200 for each). Very confusing! Attention to these model numbers if you go shopping!

Hello

As you know the Slim SelectBay DVD Super Multi Drive PA3359E-1DV2 is designed only for laptops and you can not compare a desktop readers with a portable PC.
You have to make a compromise.
I burn my DVD with a 2 x speed and for me it s enough.
But if you want to buy a DVD burner, I recommend you to buy an external.

DVD / disc not recognized Equium A100

I recently bought a laptop with Vista installed Equium. On my old pc (Windows XP Home edition), I supported a large number of pictures and files on a DVD disc with nero, when I try to load these on my laptop the drive is not recognized.

I have a lot of files on the other DVD, these are also not recognized, I would like to transfer these files on my laptop. Can anyone help this?

Thanks in advance

Hello

As you have probably not known, not all CD or DVD is compatible with each drive.
This means that sometimes the medium cannot be recognized and the Player cannot read or write on CD or DVD.

In my knowledge in the manual, you should find a list of compatible DVD and CD.

PS: I use the TDK CD and DVD TDK. I m very satisfied

A45-S250: unable to load everything that was engraved on a dvd disc

Hello.

recently I had problems trying to load everything that was engraved on a dvd disc.
Before that I would be able to burn avi files and watch them at a later date, but now nothing is coming.
When I insert a disk and then click Properties, it says that the disk is full, but 0 bytes have been used.

I bought the computer in America nearly 2 years ago before moving to England. When I bought the computer, he wouldn't burn DVDs at all, and I got the replaced disk.

There are currently a pioneer dvd - rw dvr-k12D in my machine. When I bring the properties, it says everything is working properly.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Beth.

Hi Beth

Unfortunately, it is not easy to say what may be the problem.
Y at - it the same problem with different DVD or even original movies on DVD?

The reader can recognize correctly but that doesn t mean that the lens is working properly.

If a DVD burner, it can. Look at your CD/DVD drive on the computer - it can burn DVDs if it says:

"DVD + R/RW"
"DVD + R/RW"
'DVD + R'
'DVD-R '.
"DVDR.
or "DVD writer".

He can't if it says "DVD-ROM" or "CD".

If you need a burning program here are those that are free:

Cd-writer/DVD disc tray does not open when you press the Open button, or when you use the buttons to control the media on the keyboard. How can I restore it to its operating state?

Hi John,.

Please let me know exactly what happened when you tried my suggestions of first and second.

Of your most recent post, looks like you're watching the wrong part of the Device Manager. Optical drive is listed under "readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM". The info you gave appear under "drives". If the drive is not listed under "readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM" or there is no such section in Device Manager, then Windows do not see. If windows can't see it then this means that there is no power or that the drive is broken.

When you pushed the drive back in, the player no longer has much of the book or did you have to push all the way. If the latter, it means that the drive has no power or is broken.

With respect to the opening of the case, I guess I should ask first if it's a laptop or desktop?

Tricky

My CD drive E: suddenly lost the ability to write to DVD discs. He will write on CD disks

My CD drive E: suddenly lost the ability to write to DVD discs. It will play the music on it and will write on CD disks. When I check the properties of the E: drive with a new DVD in place, it shows the whole disc in blue and indicates space used 0 and space free 0. MS it difficulty program reports the drive is not recognized as a recordable device.

I used this drive often in the past to make backups, record music, etc. This who might I be missing or it's time for a new CD/DVD drive?

Thanks for your help.

I think you should use Nero. :-)

I never use Windows for this function. Personally, I have had success with Acronis True Image, IMGBurn, CDBurnerXP and Avi2Dvd.

But if you want to search for this, here's a start:

AVI to vobHow to copy videos to a DVD disc

I have several AVI clips that could play in my PC, but now I want to copy them to a DVD disc and play on a DVD player. I heard that I need to convert AVI to VOB format first, but how to convert? is no conversion tool available? and why can't copy the AVI file first in the DVD disc?

You do not have to convert vob, DVD Authoring
software that will do it for you.

Windows XP cannot burn a video DVD, you need

Pls help: using Windows DVD (& Vista Home Premium) - can I burn more than a 'slide show' on a single DVD disc?

I use DVD Maker (& Vista Home Premium). Can I burn more than one slideshow on a single DVD disc?

I saved 3 different 'projects', each has 10-15 images.

When I use the screen 'Add items' to try and add these 3 different projects on my DVD I wind up just with a great slide show, which has 30-40 pictures in.

What I want on this DVD is a separate slide show for each of the 3 projects.

So can I implement a Menu of this DVD, which allows me to choose which of the 3 projects (slide shows) that I want to watch?

Can I do this? If so, how?

Thank you!!!

==========================================
It's a matter of time.

Save each project in the. Film WMV format. Then you can import
the three films in DVD Maker files and each of them will be a chapter...
This way, you will have a menu.

Once the DVD-video is encoded you cannot add additional files
the DVD.

If you need information on how to save... validate your version of Movie Maker.

CD DVD player: can not read data DVD discs that burned same machine

Laptop with Windows Vista cannot read data DVD discs that burned same machine. The discs work on another computer. My laptop will read CD disks, he did, and it will play DVD movies. What's wrong?

Hello

You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD &)
Burn DVDs and CDs and read DVDs). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 parts to no function
while others are doing so correctly.

Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner
could help.

Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always
issue.

CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the outside edge
tolerances of the disks. They may be delivered, but it is usually cheaper to replace
the reader.

Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then check the cables
both ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean the
power and data of the contacts with a pencil eraser.

Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system manufacturer
and the manufacturer of the device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

MSDN Windows Vista DVD (disc 4455.01) - too big to make local copies?

De : Steve F

Let me give a few quick information. (If you don't care that go to paragraph 3). I am the administrator of the program for the software system MSDN Academic Alliance here at my college. We have our system MSDNAA configured via E-Academy, so that students can sign it, sign up for a MS product, get an online product key and then go visit to get the installation media.

We have a method of distribution of DVD copy custom on our site: instead of students to download ISOs of the software they want (which may take more than 18 hours on our trendy slow campus), allow us them copies of MSDN distributed under the MSDNAA program disks. From a functional point of view, this is equivalent to letting students discover records and return them, but it allows them to have access to their installation disks for the long term (with an extraction program does not). It was working fine, until recently.

From the summer of records received 2008, titled "Windows Vista with Service Pack (x 64 and X 86) (English)" and numbered "Disc 4455.01", DVD discs indicate that 5.7 GB and are therefore too large to copy disc-to-other.»»» I usually just our students burn a copy to retrieve and install, but now Nero won't let them, saying that the disk does not fit on a standard 4.7 GB DVD media. This leads to several questions.

First of all, why the Windows Vista DVD is distributed via MSDN liked 4.7 GB? Is it a double disc layer or some other new technologies, and if so does that mean that it will cause problems in certain student DVD players? If it is a standard DVD, then why he reported to 5.7 GB when the standard tops out at 4.7 GB? Is there a way to copy it, or are we stuck with only one departure program?

I suppose another option would be to download and burn copies on MSDN, but the representative MSDNAA told me it would be identical to what we received in the mail. Does this mean that they too will be 5.7 GB, that is to say, too big to burn? (When searching in the MSDN Downloads, I see not a disc image that matches one in front of me, but rather separate downloads for x 64 and X 86. Maybe that's the answer.)

In any case, this is really two questions. The first is, why the Windows Vista DVD to 5.7 GB and that problem? The second is, I somehow a version of the Windows Vista DVD that students can actually use to copy so that we can continue our program of distribution of copy?

In an aside, technical support E-Academy sent me to support MSDNAA, which sent me to MS software Support, who told me MSDNAA had a support agreement for media support and they could charge me $250 or send me here. Then... I am here.

This is because, as with the movie DVD here now drives media 8.2 GB double layer (DL). These are fully supported by Nero and you CAN copy them as long as you use the double disc layer and a writer of the double layer.

Yes, it's a disc double layer (not exactly new technology). Large capacity is needed to adapt the WIM image format now used for the distribution of the operating system.

Not too big for burn - you just have to DL discs and a DL burner.

Yes it works as the unique images ISO MSDN x 86 and x 64 are compatible layer because they are less than 4 GB

No handset x 86 and x 86 media is available in some programs - it can be put at your disposal, as the media you provided are perfectly usable for installation of software etc.

Are you sure that you are allowed to make "copies" of the media for distribution, you have the option to purchase spare media and that's what you are supposed to provide students, if you are authorized to distribute copies of MSDNAA software to them. If I'm not mistaken the front of the drive has still the text - do not copies of this disc... "is it not?
