Reader SuperDrive does not recognize blank DVD

Have recently upgraded to El Capitan. Since then, I tried to export photos on the drive to put in stock and my DVD burner in my iMac 12.1 will recognize is no longer the DVD when entered into the burner. What is happening now is that the DVD is sitting there for a few moments and then is ejected. It's almost as if the DVD recorder is headed south. Don't know what to do from here, because it reads the CD and DVD normally and also formats and burn the CD. Just DVDs. and I have tried 1/2 dozen of them does not.

Try resetting the SMC reset management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

and the NVRAM How to reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

Try a different brand of DVD.

But as the CDs and DVDs use different lasers inside the car it is not uncommon for a failure and the other to work again.

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART 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 coward
    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
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    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
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

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

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • DVD burner does not recognize blank DVDs, but will recognize blank CD?

    I read through several similar messages, but none seem to have a solution to my problem.  I'm NOT very technically savvy, so this is as much I know:

    I have a Dimension E310

    It was supposed to come with a cd burner and a dvd burner combo.

    The reader says DVD R/RW RW DVD rewritable Compact Disk its Ultra Speed

    I was able to successfully burn CDs from itunes, but have not been able to burn any kind of video file.  In fact, when I insert a blank dvd in the drive, the computer does not recognize that everything is there.

    As I said, I'm not the person most computer savvy in the world.  I know how to work with my applications, but I know little about the way in which a computer is set up, so I apologize in advance if my question is ignorant, but I appreciate any help you can give.  Thank you in advance.


  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s does not recognize blank DVDs

    My laptop recently stopped recognizing blank, or I burned when I put them in the DVD player.
    The drive is a CARPET * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s and it was working fine until last week when I tried to use the ASHAMPOO Burning software.

    He does not even recognize any MOVIE DVD I put in the drive, but it doesn't seem to have a problem with a music CD, I tried.

    Someone to help they could offer cause I'm running out of space and I really want to delete my files.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It looks a bit like a malfunction of the equipment. Maybe the lens of the drive can not calibrate correctly.

    Another clue;
    Have you tried to delete the upper and lower filter registry entries?
    Try it. Sometimes such procedure can simply bring the reader to life.

    The detailed procedure and description has been published here in the article Microsoft Knowledge base:

  • DVD burner does not recognize blank DVD

    I had a TOSHIBA laptop since April, and since I got it, I have not discovered how to burn DVDs on this topic.

    I can watch DVDs and I can burn CDs, but if I insert a blank DVD, the laptop seems to recognize it as a CD.

    The reader certainly said DVD + RW rewritable, so do I haveto format the disk or something?

    Any help would be great

    see you soon,

    Martin

    Hello

    Before that you want to use on media DVD - RW try to format it before you want to burn files. If you have a problem please send us the description of the model. In this case, it is possible to find more information on the material of the unit.

  • DVD player does not recognize blank DVDs.

    I think that my drive can write to DVDs, but it doesn't even recognize empty (when I go into my computer after burst in, nothing doesn't appear). The disc seems to turn for a few seconds, then stops. He can read the previously empty DVD that had something serious on it by someone else. Research online I found that the problem is very common.
    In the properties of the drive, it says disc SAMSUNG HD160JJ/P and HL-DT-ST DVDROM GDRH10N CD dvd/drive under hardware. I'm pretty sure he can write, but I could be wrong.
    Thank you in advance, I would really like to do something with all my blank CD/DVDs.

    This part of the drive name indicates that your drive is read-only, and cannot write DVD:

    HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDRH10N

    If you want to write DVDs, you will need to purchase an optical drive DVD - RW. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Why do a DVD/CD-RW-ROM does not recognize blank DVD - RW disc?

    I have a DVD/CD-RW Drive SOHC-5235K who can born CD without any problem, but when I put a DVD - RW to burn a large file, the system and no matter which burning application that I use ask me all the time to introduce a recordable in the drive disc. I applied all the patches that are available without success. The file I want to burn requires between 4 and 6 CD ordinary, while I only need a DVD to copy. I've removed the filters in the registry, ran all patches automatic, verified that the drive appears in the system as it is recordable, updated the driver. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    Internet research indicates that your device does only support writing CD not DVD. This is a combo DVD-ROM and CD - RW.

    Hello

    I see nothing unusual, except that there should be a "0001", or even "0002"...

    When you have made the registry change, you used the command line (Admin)?... the process may not work with the regular command prompt...

    Also, try to go to Device Manager, right click on your DVD drive, click on uninstall and restart.

    Hello

    This isn't a real problem.
    These problems can occur using incompatible media or not fully supported.
    I had this problem too. You wouldn't believe how many CD or DVD I used to know what media would be fine.

    Finally I went to TDK's and for a long time I m really satisfied.

    By the way; User manual you should provide some useful details on the compatible media. Check also.

  • Windows does not recognize the DVD drive at startup

    Laptop: Dell E6410 ATG wt / verzion A15 Bios

    OS: Windows 7 SP1 with the latest updates.

    The question I have is when I log on Windows 7, the laptop does not recognize the DVD drive. The reader will not be displayed in my computer or Device Manager. I can get around this physically ejecting the disc and reinsert. If I do this drive appears in my computer Windows and Device Manager. It will read DVDs and CDs fine. I am able to reproduce the problem above mentioned question if I restart the laptop. If I restart the laptop the DVD drive won't be recognized and reinsert the drive will get it appears again.

    This problem occurs if I try a DVD - RW drive and an old DVD - ROM drive. If I go into the BIOS before windows, I can see the BIOS recognizing drives ok but not when initially get into Windows without having to eject and inserting the disc.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I guess that this must be a hardware problem then.

    Seems odd.

    The only other thing I can think of, after reinstalling W7, is a BIOS problem eventually. A strange setting it may be an older version of BIOS with a bug in it. If you decide to update the bios, make sure that you get the latest version for your make and model PC and follow the instructions. You can destroy a PC with bad BIOS or update the procedure.

  • Power mac g4 does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  It has worked very well in Leapard

    I just newly installed Tiger on my PowerMac G4, and now it does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.  It works perfectly before a new clean install DVD of the Tiger.

    What is your indication that the DVD is not recognized?

    Run the utility disc with the disc in the optical drive.  The drive will appear in the sidebar of disk utility?

    I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.

    If you put another type of disc in the optical drive, as a music CD, it is recognized?
