  • MacBook Pro 15" DVD Drive After SL Upgrade Sep 9 @ 9:47 PM

    Hey everyone. So I upgraded to Snow Leopard the day it was released (completely legitimate version), and it worked flawlessly. So far I have been incredibly impressed with the experience, other than that I CANNOT burn a DVD+R, DVD-R, or read a commercial DVD for the life of me. Here are my specs:

    HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N:

    Firmware Revision: AP12

    Interconnect: ATAPI

    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)

    Cache: 2048 KB

    Reads DVD: Yes

    CD-Write: -R, -RW

    DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW

    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO

    Media: To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose View > Refresh

    It is working perfectly to burn countless CDs and read/rip CDs as well, but it just pops out all DVDs or reports a "medium error" on all burns. There is a large Apple discussion thread on this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa...

    I know the drive is not broken as I honestly burned a DVD just before upgrading and it worked perfectly. Since the upgrade, 4 burning programs and 4 different kinds of DVDs will not combine to work. Any suggestions?
