Neither my Pismo 400 (10.3.7 nor my iMac SE 400 graphite (10.3.7) will read DVD +R disks...I have burned many on my son's Gateway and Dell machines but they will not read in either Mac system. If I want to use them with the Macs, I have to put them in my external LaCie DVD burner (a Pioneer 105D)unit to be able to watch them..
Regards,
Mike K

"in drives"? Appearently to what source?


The general rule of thumb is that recent computers should be able to
read pretty much any format, but if one doesn't work try different a
brand of +R discs is the first brand doesn't work.


I thought many older drives, say 2 years, needed a firmware update for
this to work? Why do speak about "recent" computers  on lowendmac list?
In this context for me, "recent" is 2-3 years old.

How can I make my original DVD-drive of the Powerbook G4 / 400 read DVD+?
