Disc Burner OS 9???

Hi, Sherman. The OS 9.2.2-compatible version of Disc Burner on my Powerbook is v. 1.0.2, but it isn't available as a separate download anywhere that I can find. You can, however, extract it from the Installer Tome contained in the OS 9.2.1 downloadable updater, using the freeware utility TomeViewer.

I'm not sure why it wasn't installed on your Mac when you ran the OS 9.2.1 updater yourself…unless you had no supported CD burner at the time. That would explain it.

You mentioned "Authoring Support 1.0.9" but how about Authoring Support Files? Those include special plugin files to support burning based in your installed brand of burner. (Apple's OEM mechanisms based by 3rd party vendors)

You may have to do the TomeViewer trick with the Mac OS 9.2.2 download as there was some flakyness in Mac OS 9.2.1 dated DiskBurner version. These Exctensions are also Mac OS Specific based on CPU/Mac OS ROM version and may not like each other.

i have a bit of a problem with burrning in OS 9.2.2. I can burn cd's and cd/rw just fine with iTunes and the built in burning program. the problem starts when i put in a blank dvd of any type a window pops up asking to either initalize or to eject and when i try to initalize it say's its locked but its a new blank dvd. toast titanium 5.1.2 shows the dvd as a 4.4gb cd it will burn with it but error out at the leadin and lead out. the drive i have is a Pioneer DVR-110D

sorry about hijacking the toppic

The Pioneer 110D probably is to new of a unit to be remotely compatible. Last recall of that drive being installed in a G5 with Mac OS 10.4.x required lots of work to just to barely pass the mustard.

You are probably out of luck in the DVD support as Pioneer 105 was the last model supporting Mac OS 9 with a patch. Pioneer 104 worked in Mac OS 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 without any patching.

i have the patched Pioneer authoring support extention that some one modded for me so i could burn with iTunes and the finder and it works its just the dvd i have problems with it burns cd's with no problem. would another mod extention be in order to support the dvd burning so it wont say the disk is locked and so that toast will properly see the blank dvd as a dvd and not a cd

Frank McHugh...

I think DVD burning itself would require at least a 500MHz machine or better just for starters. You would also need double of the HD space to burn DVDs. Lets say around 10GB for a single layer DVD for starters off the boot drive.

By the way CDRW is easier to fix patches for some basic hackers, however DVD requires passing things off into another chipset for encoding. That is where DVD will byte you every time. Lots more there that I am missing as well.

lol i need to update my sig. i have since then bought a G3 450mhz cpu and have it in. i have a 120gb hdd so space is no problem at all. i do only have 448mb ram. at first with the stock 4gb hdd and the school installed OS which was OS 9.2.2. some one modded the authoring extention file and it worked great and when i put a blank dvd in the drive it initlized it just fine. now since ive got a 120gb hdd and a new install of OS 9.2.2 i might be missing some extention files. on this OS 9.2.2 install it say's the dvd is locked when i press initalize

i guess no one knows why i cant read some burnt dvd media but i can read orignal dvd movies. see i can burn a dvd in OS X just fine but not in OS 9.2.2 . is it some type of format OS 9.2.2 dont understand??? cant the support for it be added
