• Can't burn videos with creation of DVD on a DVD + RW disc

  I have been regularly using the creation of Windows DVD for burning slide /videos. I had in the past burnt an a project with .jpg images in a collection of slides on a DVD + R disc. It plays perfectly on my drive Blueray. Recently, I tried to burn a backup copy of this project on a DVD + RW. However, he does not play on the computer, a standard disk drive or BD player. Players do not recognize the disc. I tried to erase the RW but it takes 15 to 20 minutes just to read the disc, the drive keeps light glisten constantly and says that the disc is erased but when I re - save the project, the result is the same as before.
  I tried to reformat the drive. When I click with the right button on the drive and click on format it again takes forever and a training constant light flashing. The format window options are gray and do not respond to orders
  Thanks for any idea as to what is happening and what I can do to fix the hang ups I get.

  =====================================
  It is possible that the DVD + RW rewritable is the problem.
  Some hardware is not fully compatible with them.

  Personally, I did not have much success with DVD rewritable.
  Verbatim DVD-R DVD have been reliable for me.

  When I need a copy of a home made DVD I create an ISO
  Image file... so I can quickly burn as many copies as I need
  without loss of time to re-encoding of the project for each
  copy.

  First... just a suggestion... using a slow burn speed
  produces a more reliable copy...

  The freeware ImgBurn can create an ISO Image
  that allows to burn copies. Once you have the
  image created... you can use it to burn as many copies
  as you need.

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Ignore most of the download buttons and click to the left of the
  green circle with the white arrow... He says...
  «Click here to download»

  Download ImgBurn:
  http://www.Digital-Digest.com/software/download.php?sid=470&SSID=0&did=1
  (The download is: SetupImgBurn_2.5.7.0.exe)

  (During the installation there will be an option to install
  Shortcuts of UniBlue and the "Ask Toolbar"... you can
  you want to deselect those)

  Hello

  Above all that it is a forum for computer/laptop Toshiba that I doubt there are many people who have experience with your standalone DVD recorder.

  But I have some advice for you;
  Check the configuration settings. There should be something about the format that is supported.
  Check if the HARD drive (where the films are stored) has been chosen correctly.

  Maybe the videos are saved to the. Standard VOB my writer did.

• Satellite 1110-Z15: this DVD-/ + RW discs are compatible

  I had problems with the CD/DVD combo drive in my 3 yr old Satellite 1110-Z15 laptop and I'm looking to upgrade to a DVD burner instead of simply replacing it as for.

  Can someone tell me what DVD-/ + RW discs are compatible with this model?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You will be very happy if someone can give you that info. In any case, for the hardware update is responsible for service Toshiba partners. If anyone knows what compatible player is, as service partners.

  Another solution is to use the external drive. It allows you to use the most recent one that burns all formats available on the market. The problem is that your camera has USB 1.0 only and no firewire port.

• Satellite P100 locks after inserting the DVD + RW disc

  My P100 crashes after inserting the dvd + rw disc.
  If I turn on the computer with the floppy disk in the drive (in general), it works.
  I use the wrong type of dvd.
  Can you advise?

  Hello

  There are many different models of Satellite P100, and I think that the units were delivered with different drives.
  But if the laptop came with DL reader so it should also could handle the DVD + RW.

  I think that in the manual you will find a list with tested and compatible media that you can use.
  This list, I found in the user manual on my satellite.

• Satellite A300 - how to use the recovery with external DVD drive disc?

  Hello

  I bought a toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 d

  FTM the tsscorp drive that is installed in the camera no longer works (does not detect any type of media what so ever). ) need to recover the laptop, so I used a USB DVD drive to boot from the restore disc, but after that the charges of recovery console it says waiting for media in the f: drive, which is the tsscorp drive although I used an external drive to load the disc.

  What files should I edit to make it to load from the drive externally and if this isn't the solution, what do I do?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Buddy,

  Unfortunately I think that it of not possible to use the recovery with external CD/DVD drive disc. Therefore, place the internal for use the recovery disc.
  You can get a new drive to an authorized service provider.

  But if the original OS from Toshiba is installed, you can use the function of disk recovery HARD reinstall Windows as well. Go to the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer :)

• How to get the dvd - rw discs to play on my superdrive drive?

  I have a few TV shows on old Sony DVD + RW discs that I used to play on my PC but will not play on my new Macbook? My computer will not show me the files when I open the DVD in the folder. Click two fingers shows many options, including the rewrite and erase, but no option 'play '. Is there a driver I need to download? How can I get my DVD to play on my superdrive?

  Is the DVD + RW, a DVD-video disc?  If so its contents will have two files like this:

  

  Is that how the disk looks like?  If so throw a DVD and try to use it to play DVD video.

  

• Create problems of recovery using Verbatim DVD + R disc

  HP 110-213EA desktop PC.

  I have problems, create a recovery disk using the HP Recovery Manager.

  I use Verbatim DVD + R discs but recovery manager says that the disc is a DVD - RW

  Walter, welcome to the forum.

  Sometimes optical drives are picky about the drives used.  I, too, have always used + R discs without any problem.  In fact, they are usually the best option.

  Here is a guide that can help you solve your problem.  You will need to use a USB flash drive.  I did my last drive recovery with a USB flash drive.  It has worked well.
