My 17"ALPB running OS X 10.4.1 does not accept DV+R's. When I slip
them in the machine I hear some action but at the end the blank DVD
is spit out. It plays however recorded DVD+R's. What's going on ?
I burned a DVD+R for a friend with a 12" ALPB and it wasn't
recognized at all in 10.3.9 or 10.4.1. Neither was a blank. I'm
reburning the DVD+R to a DVD-R that he supplied, we'll see of that
works? Another friend with an older TiPB couldn't recognize any of
four different brands of blank CD-R's I owned, so evidently these
PB's are either broken or very finicky. With desktop drives &
firewire external drives there are often firmware updates to add
support for more or newer media types. Perhaps these PB drives could
be "upgraded" using some non-Apple firmware and then patched with
PatchBurn to reestablish Apple burn support? Big risk and hassle I'd
think, but so is the unreadable CD or DVD.
