Racer23 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 After Installing OSX I tried to burn a DVD and not sure if my dvd burner is usable. I can see cd's or dvd's from it but it toed not recognise it as a burnable drive. I have a HP Lightscribe DVD+RW, is there a patch or something I can obtain the be able to use this?

jbjonas Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Don't know if it supports patching lightscribe drives, but try Patchburn. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11870-lightscribe-dvd/#findComment-74781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer23 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 The Problem is I insert a DVD in the Lightscribe DVD Drive and it sees the DVD, I try to use iDVD to open but it won't the movie. Is there a way to get the drivers for the Lightscribe thing that I have?

U.C. Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Its probably coz ur graphic card is not supported. Which one do u have??? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11870-lightscribe-dvd/#findComment-75121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer23 Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Not exactly sure what graphics card I have right now. I will find out later. The Patch burn program helped out a little. In my disk utilities it now shows that I have a DVD Burner SOHW-1633S. However I poped in a DVD movie and it opened up a folder but would not let me play. I also tried to burn a cd (music) and it did not recognise the blank CD when trying to burn. It did recognise it when I inserted a blank CD and asked me what program I wanted to use. I will find out what Video card I have later today. Thanks for the posts.

munky Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 uhh... you do know that iDVD is NOT a dvd player? (its for authoring your own DVDs). it sounds from your posts like you're trying to play a movie, in which case you need to use DVD Player (/Applications/DVD Player.app), not iDVD. Failing that, try downloading a unibin version of VLC and trying to play the DVD in that. i do know that a lot of people had problems playing back DVDs with unsupported graphics cards, so you may be out of luck.
