Hey all, this is both a solution and question thread. I've had an LG BP50NB40. for the last several years, that has worked flawlessly on my 5K 27", late 2015 iMac. It has worked flawlessly with the main connector of the usb Y plug connected to one of the Mac's USB 3.0 ports. At the beginning...

Sometimes I use Compressor to burn a DVD or Blu-ray of a film I have made but I can no longer seem to do this with compressor 4.8 Did Apple really take away this feature or am I missing something here?

I have a 2010 Mac Pro 2010 5,1 For the last 2 months it has been experiencing random restarts, always late at night when no one's around and the only way for me to tell it has in fact restarted is that a 8TB drive that I use for Time Machine has not loaded This drive has never loaded on a...

I just inhered a ton of Audiobooks on CD from a family member (About 60). I’d like to rip these and put them in .M4B format with the Audiobook Builder 2 app which I have used a few times over the last few weeks with audiobook CDS I had laying around. The issue I am having importing via...

Hello. I’m unable to boot into the MacOS X 10.4 Tiger install DVD on my PowerMac G4 MDD (2003). I’ve recently installed several distros of Linux until I found out the graphical issues I experienced were from it’s ATI Radeon 9000. So until I buy a new card, and one that would work with Linux, I...

Hi, I have got a Power Mac G5 running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I have upgraded the original Pioneer optical drive to an NEC one that supports dual-layer DVDs. I'm trying to make a bootable Mac OS x 10.5 DVD and I'm using Verbatim 8x dual-layer DVDs and the disk utility says burn failed! I have rad...

Hi, I have a Power Mac G5 running Mac OS X 10.3.0. I have installed a DVD RW drive that supports burning and reading dual-layer DVDs as the original one only can read burned dual-layer DVDs but when I installed the new one the burning option was disabled in disk utility and the system profiler...

I tried using MTR to rip some old copy-protected DVDs but my 2019 MBP wouldn't read the discs due to copy protection. [I used the second method on the following link: here.] It's completely free, and I was able to rip my old Shogun DVDs with no issues in Handbrake after that. Just (hopefully)...

Hey all, I was curious if anyone still uses MTR (formerly MacTheRipper) ? I wanted to try it to see how it compares to my programs I use. However, they seem to have some steep requirements to get a license (if I read the help site correctly.) It sounded like they want you to both join the...

Hi dear mac users, I recently acquired a Macbook 4,1 from early 2008. Unfortunately the latest version of macos supported is Lion. I managed to upgrade it to Mountain Lion and Mavericks (but that last one lost the graphic acceleration). The impossibility to use modern apps on those system made...

I have an old 2008MBPro. Is it possible to uninstall its optical/DVD drive and place it in an enclosure, in order to make it an external optical/DVD drive?

I have an M1 Mac Mini and a SuperDrive. I want to save the videos from the DVD to my Mac. Do I need special software? I am using disk utility to make a disk image but I'm not sure if that works. I want to make a copy of the videos for later playback and keep them on my internal mac storage as...

I decided a while back that I am no longer buying digital media from iTunes or anything similar, and going back to adding to my already large physical media collection for movies, TV Shows, and music. I am adding all my content to my Plex server, and while my storage for Plex is very large, I am...

I have these old DVD-R discs. (I know, doesn't this subject make you wanna roll your eyes already?) They have quicktime/.mov files burned to them. They're not playable dvds with menus on them. They're data dvds. My 2017 iMac obviously doesn't have a disc drive so I'm connecting my external Lacie...

I have an Optiarc AD-7170A in my 3,1MacPro that I am pretty sure should be able to write to DVD-RAM. I know Apple seems to hate the format. Their firmware usually blocks this format from being used in their drives. I have recently built a program called binflash that says it can flash the...

Hey! I recently picked up an iBook G3 snow off eBay, only to discover the optical drive wouldn't boot a disc (I could hear it struggling, but no dice). As I didn't have a firewire cable, this meant I had no way to install an OS! But I tried a bit of maintenance and it worked! I had a bottle...

Hi, I only need to convert to make 3 DVDs for someone who does not have a computer, just a DVD player. I have not been able to find the software. Inexplicably, iMovie and handbrake don't seem to create output in the format. I googled around and I could not find anything. TIA. David

Hi is there any software (preferably free) that will fix a corrupt .VOB file? Strange but all of the first VOB files - VTS_01_1.VOB - in each DVD folder saved digitally (don't have original DVD anymore) seem to be corrupt.. Thanks

Hey, all... I've run into a problem burning DVDs using Any Video Converter. I have an old MacBook Pro mid-2012 with a built-in DVD drive that I've always used for burning MP4s to DVD using AVC. I recently upgraded the MacBook's OS to Mojave and now the DVDs I burn won't play in any standalone...
