Pioneer DVR-A06U???

[Dark604]

I just recently bought this DVD burner (Pioneer DVR-A06U), and I was told that some burners burns only positive or negative, whatever that means! Can anyone explain me about the positive or negative? How do i find out if mine only do positive or negative.

The Pioneer DVR-A06U records on both plus and minus DVD media. You may want to study the guides to the left for imformation on DVD burning.

I have a question and thought I would post it here because this post is about the drive I just bought (Pioneer DVR-A06U). I am using a Mac G4 and everything is fine except sometimes when I eject media from my drive it won't eject it. I restart the computer and it will eject. Any ideas?

I just bought a Pioneer A06U DRV and installed it in my Mac G4 in place of the CD that came with the computer. The A06U reads CDs fine, but the G4 won't read anything from a DVD disk. The DVDPlayer 3.1.1 won't open. The Apple Profile shows there is a DVD-R/CD player and the title of a DVD I have in the player, but it won't do anything else. Do I need some other software?

Try upgrading to DVD Player version 4.0

I guess it may depend on what OS version you are using. I looked and could not find a download for DVD player version 4 but I am using OS 10.3.2 and DVD Player version 4. It seems like I had trouble with that when I first got my drive and did an upgrade or update of some sort and it worked fine after that.
I did find this.

I did sort of solve my problem of it not seeing the drive or ejecting media after awhile. In the system preferences energy saver settings I set it to Never put the computer to sleep and that seems to have fixed it so far.
