iDVD on the part of an external DVD burner

The optical drive on my mac mini 2009 died. I need to burn a project to a DVD. I have attached an external DVD burner for mac. I play DVD. How to record from iDVD please?

I had a similar set on one of my Mac mini.  My internal optical drive still works fine, but I bought an external burner because the Apple optical drive cannot burn the M-DISC.  (M DISC is what we use now.)

Don't burn your DVDs from iDVD. Instead, use iDVD to create an image file and then burn the image file using the disc utilities. Utility disk will be out and find all your drives connected and it should see externally, (he does with us).

  • What external DVD burner would work with Toshiba LX830?

    Try connecting an external DVD burner for Toshiba LX830 via USB.
    Nothing won't work - I've tried 3 writers and different software.

    Is it important that all writers are USB 2.0 and the 830 is USB 3.0?
    The best I have is 3%, then it's just sitting there.

    Can anyone recommend an external recorder that will work with the 830?

    Hello

    Have you tried to connect this external hard drive to CD/DVD to all available USB ports?

    As far as I know the Toshiba LX830 all in a computer supports 6 USB ports and two USB ports support high-speed USB 3.0 standard.

    So, even if the external USB ODD (optical disc) would not support USB 3.0, it should work in 4 other ports USB 2.0

  • How to create a DVD with DVD Studio Pro and an external DVD burner?

    Hello

    I am trying to create a DVD with DVD Studio Pro. My internal DVD drive no longer works. I have an external DVD burner - slim portable DVD writer. I create the project into DVD Studio Pro, and when in the program, it works fine when I "stimulate". Well, I can't burn it.  When I look for the external DVD writer in my finder, it is not and I don't know how or where to select the option so it is programmed to burn the external DVD writer. Any advice? Thank you have a great week.

    I found a thread that has addressed this issue, but does not help me to solve my problem. Meg the dog was told this to her in question written by Scott Stark. I tried his solution of generation and format, but after pressing the burn a window appears saying "insert disc please insert acceptable DVD recordable media."  I tried to use another blank DVD, it did not help. I use Word for Word, I heard that those who are the best blank DVDs, you can buy. Thanks again for your time!

  • External DVD burner

    It was after that I posted on Feb11.  I have a new Samsung slim DVD external writer that works perfectly in a computer on a desktop with Windows 7 and XP, Vista.  But it does not work on my X 200 tablet with Windows 7 or X 200 identical a friend of pellets.  Samsung says that their author is compatible Windows 7. Lenovo said their USB ports are fine, and I think that the two carmakers since my USB ports check out on Lenovo diagnostics and my tablet will run an external drive. I went into Device Manager. changed settings that allow the computer to disable the USB ports to save energy and have tested each USB hub - everything is fine, but the DVD recorder, although it will load the videos and photos, will run slowly and evil.  Any ideas?

    X 200 tablet with Windows7 professional 32-bit 7448CTO

    I found the solution and I am convinced of this.  It is NOT a problem of Lenovo.

    It turns out that consulting the Task Manager when the external DVD burner drive was plugged in and does not, there was also a .exe program to my external hard drive I plug for backup intermittently.  Close this program in repeatable tasks Manager allows my DVD burner work properly.

    Hope this helps others.

  • Install external DVD burner on NB200

    Hello
    It is a first post of time following the purchase of a NB200 using OS WinXP installed standard. With the NB200, I also bought a LG GP08LU10 "External Super Multi DVD Rewriter". When I plug the DVD climb in the NB200 it powers and the NB200 recognizes hardware such as a CD-ROM drive. However, it is disabled. The Assistant added of Harware WinXP running causes the message "this device is disabled (Code 22)".

    A check of the CD that came with the DVD reveals that there are no drivers on the CD only DVD burning and playback software.

    I plugged the DVD player on my laptop Lenovo that is also running Windows XP and unity "plugged and played" as you would expect.

    A search on the web based on product LG GP08 ID creates very little success with one or two it seems to describe similar symptoms, but not solutions. More talk about the installation of a driver, but I was not able to locate a driver on the LG site (or as I said, on the product CD).

    The DVD player comes with a 'standard' USB cable and a USB power cable. Each single cable and two cables with the NB200 plugged into the power supply and it still is not plug and play.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    According to the Microsoft page, 22 error means that the device is either disabled or not started. Eventually he hasn t started in your case.

    There are several proposals for solution.
    One of them told you he must remove the Device Manager and reboot the laptop.
    After that new reboot of the operating system should recognize the DVD drive connected again.

    On the other hand, you could try to remove all USB hubs and controllers from the list of devices USB and should restart the laptop again.
    This help to refresh the USB drivers.

    I not quite sure if deleting upper and lower filters change anything but maybe what it s worth m to try.
    Start the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    After that, restart the laptop and check the functionality of DVD USB drive s.

    Try to remove the PXHelp20 entry which is probably invalid.

  • How is iTunes on an X220i act with an external DVD burner

    I have a Lenovo X220i and that you just bought a Lenovo Slim USB Portable DVD Burner, who has not yet arrived. Now I wonder how iTunes will react when I attach the external DVD writer. ITunes will be able to read CDs normally and to burn CDs as it would with a built-in DVD burner?

    I also posted this question on Apple Support communities.

    Hello

    I don't use Apple's iTunes software, but can not imagine there is no problem.  ITunes software connect to the drive somehow, as far as I know.

  • Yoga 2 Windows 8.1 - cannot use the external DVD burner

    About Yoga, it turns on but does not appear on drives.

    I know that there is nothing wrong with LITEON

    The USB ports work fine on YOGA

    Thank you

    The power is fine the player works on the other PC. We tried other readers on this PC and still does not work.
    I'm no expert, but my IT dept at work tried to explain that the driver is corrupted but part of the operating system. Not possible to update or reinstall.
    I called John Lewis. Immediately, they says no problem. We will swap it for a new.

  • Pavilion 2 detachable x: external DVD problems

    Hello

    I bought a Samsung SE208 external DVDRW use the USB port on my full size tablet. It was purchased primarily for watching DVDs while working there and copy my music in iTunes.

    I plugged the instructions and immediately stuck a CD that has been copied to my library without problem. So, I got a DVD to watch (flushed away if anyones interested) and its here that the problems seem to start.

    With a DVD in the drive, you can see this whirring away and my Tablet produces occasional beep noise. It does not display messages and nothing on the screen indicates that the DVD will play. In Device Manager the DVD player is not. It shows as installed correctly when I managed to catch him and look in the properties, but the driver is for a CD-ROM drive only. I tried it on my laptop (6 years) and it works perfectly. The laptop is running Windows 10 too, but shows a bunch of different drivers in Device Manager.

    Ideas, suggestions, new uses for it would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Rob.

    I just tried the drive again and it won't play CD's. Maybe it'll work as a lead only which is useless, or ornament for me. Any suggestions?

    Hi PeerOne.

    Thanks for the reply but I have VLC and it still doesn't work.

    It turns out that the SE208 is announced as compatible on a certain website large companies USB3.0 is not something of the sort. With a result pretty obvious.

    Needless to say that the offending article was returned and the search for an external DVD drive VFM who will work with USB 3.0 continues.
