    LG Blu-ray writer BP50NB40 no longer works reliably in macOS on two different Macs.

    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...

    No longer able to burn DVD or Blu-ray discs in Compressor

    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?

    Ripping DVDs with Handbrake and Homebrew

    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)...

    Does anyone still use MTR?

    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.

    Can anyone help me get past the -36 Error?

    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.

    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...

    Brass instrument slide oil saved my optical drive!

    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
