peakz Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hi All, Forgive my newbieness if I have posted this in the wrong place, but I figured this is probably the best place for this post. I have installed 10.5.4 retail on my box using DFE + EFI Method. Everything is working great, but my DVD player will not burn It reads fine, just no burn. In system profiler it reads: HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22LS30: Firmware Revision: 1.01 Interconnect: ATAPI Burn Support: Yes (Generic Drive Support) Profile Path: None Cache: 2048 KB Reads DVD: Yes CD-Write: -R, -RW DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RAM, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO Media: Type: DVD+R ID: CMC MAG M01 Blank: Yes Erasable: No Overwritable: Yes Appendable: Yes Write Speeds: 4x, 8x, 12x, 16x But in Disk Utility the information says something different: Name : HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22LS30 Type : Optical Device Disk Identifier : HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22LS30 Connection Bus : ATAPI Connection Type : Internal Burn Support : Unsupported Writes CD : Yes Writes DVD : Yes Media is present : No Capabilities : Click for more information Tray is open : Yes In any case, when I try to put in a blank DVD + R into the drive, it reads it as 0kb free space, and if I try to burn and iso to it, diskutility says "not enough free space" or something like that. It shows as /dev/disk3 in terminal when I have nonblank media in the drive. I have googled far and wide and searched this site like crazy, but the only information I found was wrt patchburn for 10.4.x Everyone seems to think this doesn't happen anymore in 10.5.x Please oh wise sages of insanelymac, educate me.

peakz Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 So the story gets more interesting...I have now installed Toast 9 Titanium and it can burn no problems. I'm not super concerned that DiskUtility wont recognize it now that I can burn with something else, but I'd still like to understand whats going on.

soc-7 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Same DVD no burn issue here too. LG 22X DVD +-R DVD Burner with LightScribe SATA Model GH22LS30.

macindude Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thought I should add, Same problem here... super weird that it works with Toast but not with the built in disc burning software (finder, disk util, itunes etc.). But for me, System Profiler says: Burn Support: Yes (Generic Drive Support) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138231-lg-gh22ls30-dvd-issue/#findComment-1044562 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsmart Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I have the same device and I can burn DVDs with Finder and Toast 9 without any problems. Are you guys using the drive in SATA mode or did you set your BIOS to IDE emulation? This can really make a difference! Also: make sure you are using AHCI & native mode for SATA devices! - mcsmart Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138231-lg-gh22ls30-dvd-issue/#findComment-1073922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcowww Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi Guys, having the same problem here! Any updates? (yes, in the bios the ide is totally inactive and the sata is AHCI) Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138231-lg-gh22ls30-dvd-issue/#findComment-1178633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan_Man Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I had the same trouble with a GH22NS30. Toast would burn dvd and CD, Finder would burn CD but not DVD. I tried a firmware update, different motherboards and 3 different OSXs, made no difference. I ended up in trading them (I bought 3 of them ) in for NS10 model. Odd problem.
