Reader SuperDrive plays movies, CDs, but ejects the DVD-R

I am trying to burn a DVD - a first in a long time.  My circa 2010 Mac Pro with Superdrive is eject the DVD-R discs, but fortunately plays DVD movies and CDs.  When you insert a DVD-R, the drive through 2 cycles of what seems to be the reading of the disc, then automatically opens the Superdrive drive door.  No idea what this problem is?

Thank you.

Try a cleaning disc. different lasers are used for reading and writing CD and DVD, and so perhaps only a dirty laser lens.

Cold otherwise be hardware problem with the drive.

Have you tried a different brand of DVD?

  • Pavilion Touchsmart 17-e123cl: reading a VOB file on the disc is pixelated and its so strange, but from the dvd is ok.

    Hello

    I have a laptop of 17-e123cl Pavilion Touchsmart with installed PowerDVD12.  If I play the videos from the drive VDV plays it very well, but if I copy the DVD to the hard drive and try to play there the image has a lot of large blocks and horizontal bars in the picture and the sound is messed up.  Since the HARD drive is a 1 5400 to disc it should be even faster than the DVD player, but it looks like that is the question.  Is there any other driver that I need to get things working correctly from the hard drive?  When I travel, I can't bring DVD in some countries, but the movies on the hard drive are not a problem (normally).  Same thing happens if copied to a flash drive.  Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Yes, this is the problem because they are two different file systems/structures. Normally you rip the DVD to a correct video file format and view on your computer. Please try:

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    1. do you know the file type you are trying to play?

    2. this happens with all DVDs you play?

    3. do you get an error message?

    Step 1: Try to update the codecs to check if the problem persists. See the below mentioned the Windows Help article.

    Codecs: Frequently asked questions

    Step 2: Check if you have the latest video drivers installed on the computer. You can log on to the computer for the same manufacturer site. Also, check the latest Windows updates. Check if all related drivers are available in the optional updates.

    Install Windows updates

    Step 3: Adjust graphics hardware acceleration. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. open the screen resolution by clicking the Start button, Control Panel, and then, under appearance and personalization, click on adjust the screen resolution.

    b. click on advanced settings.

    c. click the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings.

    d. move the hardware acceleration slider two notches to the left of Full (the Disable cursor and bitmap accelerations setting).

    e. click OK, and then click Restart now.

  • Satellite L455 - Burned DVD plays in slow motion in the dvd player

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L455.

    I got burned a DVD with Nero 7 premium, but when I play in the dvd player, it works idle all the time. Other movies are played normally (so the problem is not the dvd player phillips), this only happens with the ones I burned in my new Toshiba laptop.

    I have tried to burn all kinds of speed (x 8, 6 and 3), but the problem has not been resolved.

    Can someone tell what should I do?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You tested this external DVD drive?
    I recommend to check the options of Nero again and maybe, you should also use an other DVDs from different manufacturers.

    My DVD player didn t play DVD's serious too, I changed the manufacturer of DVDs and then the DVD that can be read by a DVD player

  • My reading and writing system does not recognize the DVD. For this CD. I don't know why.

    For a long time my system CD/DVD in my laptop Del Estudio 1537 worked perfect. But all of a sudden my computer does not recognize or read or burn DVDs. Can you help me fix this problem?

    Hello

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly.

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

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

    CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
    tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

    Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives
    http://www.repairfaq.org/repair/F_cdfaq7.html#CDFAQ_014

    ===========================================

    This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
    a shot.

    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

  • Remove the key only to eject the dvd, they will not delete

    I have a Samsung 700 PC series laptop with a Matshita UJ8A7AS drive. I have informed keyboard option, it has Win7 home premium 64 bit.  The DELETE key was 2 options, DELETE the key worked to remove items highlighted or selected. In the text, he would remove characters to the right of the Courvite. By pressing keys Fn and delete entire would eject the disc of the power optical drive slot. NOW it will only eject function, as if using the Fn + delete key combination.  The Fn key does not stick. This works for all the other key combos.  I have all the updates. I lived integrated help and support, convenience stores, several research and MS Knowledge Base online. I have not knowingly changed anything. Any suggestions?

    This isn't something that Windows can help you to, the implementation of functions Fn on the abstract material level.  Windows operating system doesn't 'see' this key (indeed this Fn button is not to dismiss the screensaver).

    Most likely, there is some type of "Fn Lock" that has been activated.  But you really want to contact Samsung directly to find out how to disable or to work with her.  The controls/options so that it will apply only to Samsung and is not part of Windows.

  • play movie clip symbol at the end of the animation, but does not appear in the timeline

    Work in Adobe Flash CS5

    When I play my movie in the Flash file, the animation stops at the end of the timeline, as it should. But when I test the movie, or export it to any film format, it will play an instance of a movie clip symbol that I used in the animation. There is no extra frame in the timeline panel beyond which must be considered to be the last image. Y at - it a setting or something I forgot that could cause this instance of the symbol to play at the end of the animation, without air in the main timeline? This can be corrected?

    your movieclip (or a parent) who plays on the main timeline or is loaded by your swf.  If you load this movieclip (published as a swf file), you can be sure that your movieclip (or a parent) is the culprit.

    Use the movie Explorer to find all instances of your movieclip using the library for this movieclip name.  If that does not reveal the culprit, you have either made a mistake in your search or if you have a movieclip in doubles.
