![]() I believe the issue on the desktop PC is system resources. The laptop burn with the Maxells worked great. I have had a 100% success rate on approx. I'm about to try another TY disc with the PC in a few minutes. I trashed that disc and popped another into the Philips and it's burning fine now. However, I popped it into my Philips 3575 HDD and it showed that it was fully available (4424 MB, same number I always see on an empty disc). The back has the burn lines like a burned DVD. The first burn I tried with the TY had a failure (did not burn at all, burning software reported DVD failure). Burning with Taiyo Yuden premium DVDs and all programs, including virus protection, spyware, etc., turned off, and choosing 8x speed instead of 16x. That told me that the desktop PC (or its burner) is likely the issue.Ģ. I tried burning the discs on my laptop (3 GB Ram, 2.2 ghz, Vista Home) with the Maxells and.SUCCESS!!! I have tried a couple of different things over the last 10 days or so. Is #1 even helpful? Does anyone have any suggestions? I understand different media might work differently on different components, so maybe trying different media will help even though the Maxells work fine on my Philips. I'm using Maxell DVD-Rs that I have burned hundreds of successfully on my Philips 3575HDD burner, never had an issue. I have tried closing programs and not using the PC while burning, but it hasn't seemed to solve the issue, and I can't find a pattern to why some DVDs burn better than others. ![]() Some DVDs might not have any skips, most have several skips, and occasionally there are many skips batched close together.Īre there best practices to avoid this? Can other programs running on the PC interfere with the burn process? The video will freeze momentarily and then skip ahead 5-10 seconds. Another app may be better.DVDs I burn on my PC sometimes have sections that skip during playback in various DVD players in my home (three different players all skip in the same spots, so the issue doesn't seem to be with the player). ![]() In terms of burning software, I use Toast Titanium 18 at least for DVD film media and data. I just opened a M disk movie and it plays fine. I have played Blu-Ray movies before so I know it works. Apple does not supply Blu Ray movie player app so a third party software player is required. DVD Movies open and play with the regular Apple DVD player. Once you have a file -data, movie, or music, it can be burned with any 'M' disk burner and accessed. Unfortunately, RipIt does not copy Blu RAY disks. I rip DVD movies with a simple app called ' RipIt' which seems to work around restrictions to copying films that commercial software like Toast has making copying impossible. I am using an LG BE14NU40 several years now to burn 'M' disks -both DVDs and Blu-Ray. So that seems covered, although I'm not sure about details, such as preserving create time.īut what if I want to archive to a Blu-Ray M-disc? That isn't supported AFAICT.Īny recommendations? I did a web search and found no clear answer.ĭVD and blu ray 'M' disks Can be burned on Macs with external burner/players. I noticed a menu selection for "burn" to disc. Nothing fancy with ripping movies or anything like that.Ī friend asked about some old archived film scans on CD-R, so I connected a DVD+RW drive via USB and everything worked fine. ![]() We have two BluRay drives, one with M-Disc support and one without.Īre you just "archiving" this data "as files"? Whether M-Disc records is a property of the drive hardware, not the OS. That has to do with the media structure of the disc itself and is handled by the hardware. Having said that, I don't believe the app you happen to be using cares about "M-Disc" burning (vis-a-vis "non-M-Discs"). No information I've seen indicates that Big Sur suddenly gained support for Blu-Ray. I doubt Macs would burn to a recordable Blu-Ray blank. Looks like it creates standard ISO 9660 with Joliet and Rockridge extensions.īy the way, I'm ecstatic that my 22 year old CDs were readable and are now consolidated on a single DVD-R. If a DVD+RW drive is connected via USB, the right-click menu has an option Burn to Disc that works fine with a DVD-R blank inserted. (these may no longer work on the latest OS versions). There used to be some free apps for Macs and optical drives: You didn't tell us which Mac you have, what year it was made, and what version of the OS is running.
