DVD Z1

I recently purched a refirbished Z1 HP w/W7 work, which is a great PC.  The only problem I encountered is that the DVD drive is not recognized.  She will suck in a disc in but it's like he goes. It does not appear in the Device Manager either.  Thank you so much, R - Biz

  • My inner smartdrive dvd player won't read DVDs more.  I have updated to Snow Leopard in Yosemite.

    I am currently using OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.  I bought in 2009 iMac with Snow Leopard and have to Lion then updated my current operating system.  The internal dvd player has worked with much fussing, (insert the disc - closing - turn after a wait - by pushing the drive when he jumped on reboot).  If I had the chance after a few hours, the video disc show up on my desk.  When this happened, I was opening the dvd player that was in the Finder and the disc would play. I also tried to open the dvd first player and then insert the disc.  That no longer works.  Yesterday, only it just stop working.  The reader still takes dvd and swirls and click as before but then ejects the dvd. Repeatedly stop and restart is no longer works.  I make sure that the dvd be clean before I use it and have tried many different DVDs without success.  I think it's a software issue.  Does anyone have an idea/instructions a nearly dead grandmother brain that can follow to update or redate back to original factory setting to help this poor Smartdrive not so smart?

    I have no TV, only my computer and phone at low prices.  I need to watch that my library borrowed from the dvd.

  • DVD (and iDVD) die?  If so, what is the alternative?

    Hi all

    I LOVE iMovie 6 (iMovie HD) and iDVD.  I was use to edit and produce my own films at home for years.  I like to create DVDs from pleasure and share with my family and my friends.

    The problem is that it seems that the days of DVD are numbered...  New computers come with a DVD player, and most people do not use their DVD players a lot more thanks to streaming services such as NetFlix, Hulu, Amazon, etc...

    So my question is this: a DVD player will soon be like old VCRs that some of us still have?  Large boxes, collector of dust, but we can not totally get rid of them because we have a few VHS tapes favorite that we "might" want to play some time?

    If DVD and DVD players disappear...  What will I do with my movies at home?

    I understand that I could post them on YouTube, but this seems crazy, because I have a lot of home movies!  In addition, I really like the features of a DVD as chapters and be able to create a DVD with several individual films on it.

    What I would REALLY like is to be able to create a "DVD", but store it in a flash drive and then a program or something that allows you to my friends and family get the flash drive on their smart TV (or computers) and allow them to access the 'DVD' as if there were a real DVD with all the options of origin that would be available on a disc.

    Someone you understand what I mean?  And if yes, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for the future of the movies at home after the death of DVD have?

    Thank you!

    Agreed.

    https://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-3673

    To burn a DVD with the latest version of iMovie's iDVD, you must export the movie using the export button and select 480 p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, and then drag this file in the sequence exported to iDVD menu window, avoiding the drop areas that see you.

  • DVD player freezes when audio editing

    My application DVD player recently started crashing every time that trying to change the volume of the silent era. The laptop is a MacBook 12 "retina 2015, using an external DVD drive that has worked very well for a year. Have tried on many different DVDs and they all load fine, DVD player auto-commence, but they all open with no sound. If I try to increase the volume of 0 on the slider, the player crashes. If I try to access audio via the menu 'Options' menu does load not for Audio and audio disk configuration is similarly frozen to corruption. Other audio works fine on the machine. Any idea on what could be the problem? Thank you.

    Greetings bhan001,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It seems you want to play a dvd on the MacBook connected via an external dvd drive. Given that the application crashes using each dvd that you tried it may be a problem with the application itself. There are a few things that we can try to isolate and solve the problem.  I would recommend you read these articles, starting in safe mode disables the 3rd party applications that may interfere with the DVD player application. If the problem persists, we can try a new user to test to see if it's a matter of profile or the scale of the system.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

  • DVD burner

    10.3.6 using I have a DVD with the video, I want to put it on my iMac, and then burn another DVD. I external drive and note that there are many "burn" command and the copy command, in the Finder, that they do not seem to work.

    How to burn a DVD with video on iMac? No copy

    Good problem.

    Is the video DVD, you have a commercial or one that you created yourself?  If it's a you have created yourself or not a commercial DVD put in the drive, launch utility disk, select the disk and create a disk image of it.  Put in a blank DVD disc and burn the disk for the disk image.

    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best DVD video qualty:

    Burn to disc with disk utility to the slowest speed (2 x - 4 x) in order to ensure the best quality burn.  Always use higher quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are recommended in these forums.

    If the original disk is a commercial disk there DRM protection and you will not be able to copy it.

  • bk 2011 pro Mac dvd player spits out dvd

    I have a 15 inch 2011 mac book pro. The dvd player does not work. When you insert a dvd into the computer, the computer acts like it's going to run it, but then he spits. She also shows an error message of the dvd drive on the launch pad. I use the dvd player / cd player a lot. Help, please.

    Hey glerouxwende,

    Thank you for being a part of the communities of Apple Support.

    I understand from your post that your MacBook Pro is not mounting dics and is just spit them back.  It's probably what is originally an error of the DVD player.  To help solve this problem, I would like to you please follow the steps below:

    Accepts discs, but they do not install or are ejected automatically

    1. Make sure that the drive is not placed in reverse. The aluminum case must be upward as shown in section 1.
    2. Check the surface of the disc for scratches and dirt, as these things can prevent the disk on the desktop.
    3. Connect the SuperDrive for MacBook Air drive directly to the USB port of the computer instead a USB hub.
    4. Reset the controller management system (SCM).
    5. Make sure that your drive can read the disc type. The System Profiler or an Information system can provide additional information on the subject of what is supported by your computer media.
      • OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "about this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click on details.
      • OS X Lion v10.7 and later: click the Apple () menu and hold down the Option key. Select system information in the menu.
    6. If the disc continues to not be recognized, Contact Apple or an provider of services authorized Appleor make an appointment with a Store Apple Store.

  • Back up my data with installation DVD

    I want to transfer my data to an external with installation DVD drive because my Mac OS isn't bootable anymore because of the sierra of mac os. So I'll do a new install of snow leopard on my macbook late 2009. Does anyone know how to transfer my data in my external drive across the disc of the DVD Installer prior to installation of Snow Leopard sanitation? Somone told me to do it this way, but I don't know how.

    I recommend strongly against from any attempt of recovery/reinstallation without a valid (and verified) backup on a different disk. As you are still able to boot the system with the installation DVD, you can

    • use Disk Utility on the installation DVD to create a full backup of your internal drive to an external
    • copy /Applications and /Users to an external drive (which should focus on 'all' critical data)

    Then comes to an attempt of resettlement.

    You can restore your data after the installation of the operating system. First make a note of bookmark, password or registration required by your system.

    Perform a full backup with time machine, then restart with your installation dvd, then reinstall the operating system

    When Setup restarts, you can restore your data with the migration wizard.

    When possible, you should do a clean install with 3rd party applications and drivers HW until the migration may or may not be compatible with the older operating system and removes the possibility of corruption of preference.

  • Burn DVDs with Imac 2015...

    Hello Forum,

  • DVD

    I want to copy a dvd on my iMac, how do I do that

    What type of DVD?

    If it is a commercial video DVD, it has mechanisms of protection against copying and according to what do you and where you live, it may be illegal to copy.

    If it's a data DVD, simply copy the files in the Finder.

    If it's a video DVD but without protection against copying, as you or a friend might have been created on a computer for a family or another video, let us know.

  • How to use a blank disc DVD-R as a USB flash drive?

    Hi all! I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro and I was wondering how I could use a blank DVD-R disc as a form of rewriting for documents, music, spreadsheets, etc. ? My mac Let's burn me to the disc, but I can't rewrite to it after that. Help, please!

    They don't work that way. Rewritable means simply you can erase the disc and use it again. You can't write it during normal use of the disk. This, to a USB flash drive.

    To be same rewritable, you can use a DVD - RW, DVD - r not it is not rewritable. You can look for third-party software that allow you to use the drive as a flash drive, but I am not sure that these programs exist. Not much need for it.

  • DVD Studio Pro DVD "supported disc not available".

    Hello Forum,

    I am trying to burn a DVD again an already existing DVD Studio, already registered and created the file pro with all the menus related to the video file.  Another company created the DVD Studio pro menu and queue in front of me, I replace the newly edited video and try to burn a DVD with the new video and audio files.

    I compressed the file Compressor 3.5 using the button create DVD in the compressor, I created a file DVD SD Mpeg2, audio and video.  Imported in the pro Studio already created DVD file, I have the burned DVD, but appears to "Support disc not available" when I try to play the DVD on my Imac drive (also not tried in a standard DVD player no chance)... I tried this twice now, the first time that I realized I had created a HD DVD, I also created a separate folder on the external drive as well.  When I click on the DVD that was burned it shows as: HVDVD_TS and no audio file.

    Can you please help me, I watched the video of youtube after another, but I'm not create from scratch, I know not at all unfortunately the program, but I use a DVD already created Studio, file with many menus already linked to the video and don't want to not recreate from scratch... I think this should not be so difficult, and definitely miss me something.

    Thank you very much for your help!

  • 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.
