Spaceman Spiff Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 So I took a bunch of photos this weekend and wanted to give them to the band that I was shooting. I went out to the store and bought a pack of DVDs, 16x max speed, made by Maxell. I get home, put one of them in, my laptop spits it back out. It's a MacBook pro and I've never had a hard time burning cds or dvds with it before. Tried another dvd from the same pack and it was rejected, too. A buddy of mine told me that if you get a higher speed dvd than what your dvd burner is capable of, it won't work...even if you tell it to write at a lower speed. Seems stupid, but is it true? I can't remember which dvds I used to burn to, I've just always grabbed a pack off the shelf without even really paying too much attention.

motorhead Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Try burning a cd and see it works. The MacBook pro should burn anything you throw at it. Then see if you can see a another burnt cd or dvd in it. Most likely your burner took a ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Bleed_B&G Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 does it burn DVD +\- or both. I would think both on a macbook. What kind of DVD CD's did you buy as far as +\- or speed rating. I'm not sure but I would think if its faster then the drive can handle it will just burn at max of what the laptop is capable of doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
