[QUOTE="macdreamer08, post: 722363, member: 66129"] I have an imac g4 with a superdrive. I've been trying to burn a dvd for the past hour and I can't figure out why it won't let me. It won't even let me get past the first step. When I put the blank dvd in the drive, the computer tries reading it for about 15 seconds, won't recognize it and then spits it out! It plays dvds and cds just fine and burns cds. But it wont even try to burn a dvd! I know it should because it is a superdrive. This is very frustrating! Does anybody know what the problem might be? Here's what the system profiler says about the drive: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-105: Firmware Revision: A506 Interconnect: ATAPI Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported) Cache: 2000 KB Reads DVD: Yes CD-Write: -R, -RW DVD-Write: -R, -RW Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO Media: No [/QUOTE]
