So, before panicking about having to send your MacBook away to get the stuck disc out, try the steps below and it might just save you time and money!įorcEject is a tiny little tool of about 100KB that simply does what is intended and tries to force your Superdrive to eject its stuck optical disc. Actually removing a stuck CD or DVD from a MacBook is pretty easy if you know how. Unlike ROM drives fitted to Windows PC’s and laptops, the Macbook SuperDrive does not have a small pinhole where you can insert a paperclip to forcefully eject a stuck disc. This can be especially troublesome trying to boot because the drive will get stuck in a loop trying to read the disc and it makes the MacBook unusable until you remove the disc, you might not reach the desktop at all. Unfortunately, sometimes form gets in the way of function, and one of those areas on a Macbook is the CD/DVD optical drive, otherwise known as a SuperDrive.Īlthough during general usage there shouldn’t be any problem with a SuperDrive, if for whatever reason you insert a disc that cannot be read correctly, the drive might refuse to eject the disc, even if you push the eject button a few times or right click eject from the desktop. ![]() Macbooks are well known for being good quality hardware wrapped in a very stylish shell.

This composite video artifact is the result of cramming all the colour and luminance signals down one analogue cable. Lines that slowly scroll up the video, which have various effects on the video. This is especially evident around the outlines of objects and people. This is where the colours don't quite line up, producing green or purple ghosting effects. It has distinct look from film grain, or standard static noise. Unfortunately, the process of scaling and encoding the video for this website has smoothed out a lot of the 'flaws' I intentionally created such as… I was able to apply a keen observational eye to it's many quirks and flaws. ![]() ![]() Growing up with VHS myself, I still have the odd tape in my collection, and remarkably, a VCR that still works. No special 'VHS Effect' plugins were used – in my view they go too far and you end up with something that DVR millennials think VHS looked like.
