I just hate to see you replace a burner and that is not the issue - although the fact you have an external that is working fine seems to indicate a potential replacement of it.Īs to where to get a new drive, a lot of the guys on this forum recommend OWC: Other World Computing (OWC) - Performance Upgrades For Your Mac In the encoding software I use (Adobe Encoder) I believe I can select the region code when I get ready to do the final burn. I am really reaching here cause this is weird. So is it possible your burner still thinks it is looking at NTSC disks and is holding that region code? If you burned PAL disks then burned a NTSC disk you had to tell your software to make the adjustment. Have you checked for a firmware update for the DVD burner? I assume that Apple would have offered it if necessary but you know what happens when you assume. The fact it is burning DVD's makes me believe it is something else.


I'm not sure where to check region settings as there isn't any under the DVD option in System Settings.Īny help would be so greatly appreciated!!! I remember in the old days of being on PC it would say: Do you want to change the region code? You have X changes left to this drive.ĭoes Apple not have a similar thing to this? It's rare - very very rare - when Microsoft does something better and more user friendly! It just comes up with a message saying "This computer cannot read this disc"īut if I put it in through an external drive it works.ġ) I work in the video industry and I use this drive all the time and it has to work!Ģ) The external drive isn't mine, I'm borrowing it just to look into the problem!Ĭan anyone help? I thought it might be a region change but at no point have I had a warning about changing a region and as all the films over the last week have been region 2 (PAL) then not sure why one region 1 (USA NTSC) would not only break it but also not offer a warning about changing region code - to which I would have said no! It reads blank ones but not video discs with content! The disc drive won't read DVD Video discs. but not something terrible and worrying has happened Great machine - I use it for work and it's brilliant.
