my inspiron 1501 sounds as it burns a cd/dvd, but the disc comes out blank

I can play dvd CDs, but all of a sudden I cannot burn photos or music. Looks like it works, but when the disc appears it seems empty and it shows nothing when I put it in the computer.

More than likely, your burner requires maintenance or replacement.

    Hello

    Have you tried burning different media?
    Not all CD or DVD is compatible with the player.
    Usually, you should find tested and compatible media in the user manual which must be preinstalled on the laptop.

    I m not 100% sure, but as far as I know the reader doesn t write on + media
    I recommend you to test some different manufacturers of disc form.

    Just FYI; I use TDK and I m very happy.

  • Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop keyboard, it's that act as if the keys are pressed in 2 second intervals.

    Well, I mean about 6 months or if there is, we encountered a small problem with our laptop RAM and had it fixed by a professional. Since our RAM and CPU speed increased a little, however our keyboard seems to be on the fritz.

    I can't really explain or take screenshots of it in the law, but I will try my best. It seems that whenever I try to play a game, my keyboard gives to think I'm pressing '=' to an interval of 2 seconds. Recently, my sister tried to play "The Sims 2" on our PC and this problem appeared to cancel out all the actions that she wanted to make the game, as the selection of an object for the character to use, IE if she wanted to choose a furnace for a character to use, she would select it and have the small action menu pop up , but before she could select an action, the action menu would disappear. When I try to play a game, as "Half Life 2", I often change keys in order to adapt to my style of play, but when I try to change a key related, automatically "supports" the '=' button until I can manually select the key I want to bind to this control.

    I have never experienced this problem before we had our computer fixed and this problem seems to have no effect on typing programs such as Microsoft Word or Notepad or even this dialog, it doesn't seem to pop up in games so far, as far as I know, that he might happen while I'm typing this. It's just a minor annoyance, but it's a mystery that I can't solve. Any help or other questions that I can answer on the problem will be warmly welcomed. Thank you!

    Hello

    Looks like the other repair keyboard problem and it looks like not material. No doubt
    better to take this back to the place which sets memory.

    Control Panel - keyboard - look for a reset to the default values or other settings to fix the problem.

    I wonder if the sensitivity of the TouchPad could be a problem?

    Usage: XP Service Pack 3

    Hi, I'm trying to burn a disc of data on a 1900 Pavilion DVD and I do not know what program to use the suite provided with it.

    InterVideo Home Theater etc is for the movies, but also Windows Movie maker.

    Windows Media Center is not available because until now I can see on thr PC.

    All the tips on the installed with PC suite or I need to install Nero etc?

    Thanks for your reply,

    I guess I assumed that HP would have a package burning in their suite of packages. I don't know if she was there.

    Just as a note of caution the program that I downloaded as it was suggested "Free Easy Burner" it came with a program of "Searchnu.com406" who hijacked my browser.

    I removed it using the restore after searching the Internet for advice.

    Everything seems fine now.

    I pulled my hair out all afternoon. I had 6 "threats on my computer detected by Webroot. All the threats then deleted it ask to remove the last threat who said it... Audiolog.exe... Amd64-Microsoft-windows-audio-audiocore_31bf3856win32. UserAdded.

    I use an old computer from 2008 with installed Win7 ACPIx64 pc. Amd64 Athlonx2 Duo processor. It is a laptop and for some reason, I thought it was Realtec as above but maybe not.   The laptop is a HP Pavillion dv6707 with Nvidia GeForce Go 7150 m.

    After checking the Device Manager and don't check the drivers and no system sounds or the solution I did a system restore to 3 days earlier, which was not good like Webroot came up with all these infections / threats proves again and had to be removed. I checked the sound before I greeted Removeal for the 2nd time, NO NOISE, so I proceeded to the elimination of the threat.   No sound.

    So I decided I want to restore my computer wayyy back I'd go with was back to 3/17 and today, it is 3/30 in the way. NO sound.

  • 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.

  • Burning a DVD of the film in iMovie

    Hi all

    I'm running El Capitan on an iMac (2012) older which has iDvd but I can't use it.

    Basically I have a home video 15-minute clips of friends wishing someone good luck.  It was filed in iMovie and said its 12 GB.

    I want to burn onto a dvd but my dvd all say that the file is too big.  I can't believe a 15-minute short clips home video, from people saying 'Hi' is too big to burn.

    Can anyone help?

    Hi, Windym,

    iDVD is a design program that allows you to record a video of two hours on a standard DVD.   Two hours is about 26 GB, that iDVD will compress to 4.7 GB to fit on a standard DVD.  Your 15-minute project will easily adapt.  It is best to have at least 20 GB of space free on your startup disk disk so that the application can work correctly.

    Can you describe the procedure and the applications you use, and the error messages you get?  You really want to use iDVD or maybe you burn a DVD, data that are much more limited in size, that you can burn?

    TSSTcorp cd/DVGW-ts-h652m ata device, it's my player to cd for some reason, I can't burn cd/DVDs, but the reader will read these and play them, also it won't read burned DVDs, Noah he reformatted dvd, how can I solve this problem

    Hello

    Have you tried to close all programs and then insert the disc in the drive?

    You have disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read).
    Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

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

    CD have a tolerance + - and you have to write on the side outside their tolerance. They can be given
    However, it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

    Try this troubleshooting:

    Step 1: Please make all underneath the same if you've done it before as it's often the total of the process which
    solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

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

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry entries
    that the troubleshooter does not, and those who "could" be the cause.

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
    Your player registry entries.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be

  • Can I burn a DVD slideshow created in creation of Windows 7 DVD without finalizing the disc to add slideshows later?

    I use a DVD + R DL disc, and the slide show takes a small fraction of the available space. But the disc is ejected in the final State, and, when later reinserted to add additional slide shows, the disc is not recognized as recordable media.

    I was prior to these links. I'm really interested many slide shows on a large drive, such as DVD + R DL of packaging. I want to play on a Sony DVD player attached to a TV. Also, I want a menu of the watch to appear at startup, which allows the Viewer to choose one to play. Is this possible with DVD Maker? I've seen discussions suggesting that Movie Maker can afford that. However, I can not import files .msdvd and would therefore have to use the .jpg image database and redo all the shows in Movie Maker. Is there an easier way?

    ============================================
    Such a great project it is quite possible that you
    will have problems of system resources.

    As stated earlier... a video DVD must be coded
    in one sitting... impossible to add additional files.

    That said... Create slideshows in Movie Maker and save
    each in a folder on your drive hard in the. Film WMV format.

    Once you have all the. Slideshow WMV... How to import them into
    DVD Maker (there is a limit of 18 scenes). Each individual. WMV
    file must be a scene (chapter) on the DVD.

    Good luck...

    Just a thought more... If you had a DVD player which is Xvid
    compatible... you can convert finished slideshows to the
    . AVI format (encoded in Xvid) and then you could burn a data
    DVD with "LOTS" of video clips. Reason to be... Video DVDs are
    coded according to duration and DVD data are based on the size of the file.

  • Burned using Windows DVD maker photos are blurred when read

    Pictures inserted in creation of DVD of Windows7 and burned to a DVD disc are dimmed when read on television via a DVD or Power DVD on the PC drive (origonal photos are sharp)

    No problem with ULEAD DVD Movie Factory

    Hi Barry Robbo.

    1 when was the last time you were able to play a DVD burned successfully?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3. What is the file format of the burned photos?

    4. which Windows Player do you use to play the burned photos?

    A DVD may not play properly in some DVD players or DVD - ROM readers to one of the following reasons:

    • The type of drive may not be compatible. Some DVD players or DVD - ROM drives can play some types of DVD. For example, some DVD players only play discs DVD + R or DVD + RW, while others play only DVD-R or DVD - RW discs.
    • The quality of the disc may be too low. Some DVD players or DVD - ROM drives will not play DVD if the disc is not in good condition or if it isn't a high quality disc. If your Player cannot play a DVD, you can try to burn again using a higher quality DVD.
    • DVD decoding software can not be installed on the computer. If you try to play the DVD in the DVD drive on another computer, the DVD will not play if DVD decoding software is not installed on this computer.

    To determine what types of DVDs your DVD player or DVD - ROM drive can play, see the documentation that came with your device or go to the manufacturer's Web site.
