Burned dvd problems

The dvd's that I made are playing fine on the computer and my new dvd player.
They are not completely playing on older model dvd players. It plays for about 4-5 min. and then stops and goes back to menu. Any ideas?

lots of older players can't play burnt dvd's, but some can. One of my players can play dvd-r but not dvd-rw, just depends on the player and the media used.

  • Burning DVD problem with DVD media

    Hi,
    Hopefully someone can help me. I bought a Mac Mini and tried now to burn DVDs, with no success.
    I used R- (Bulkpaq 4 X) and also Datawrite (R-, 4X), which I used in the past with my LiteOn external writer.
    Unfortunate, both DVDs are not correctly recognized by the drive. Finder, Dragon Burn and Burnz writing to the DVD with 2X (instead of 4X). However this prevents that the dics are readable after burning.
    I’m wondering if this is a drive or media problem and if anyone else had the same problem. If a media problem, than any recommendation what kind of media to use would be helpful.
    yours frank

    To rule out media issues I would recommend that you try either Verbatim or Apple branded media. Unfortunately DVD drives that are designed for laptops, which the mini has, tend to be a bit more finicky with the media you use.

  • How can I work through a Burn DVD problem?

    In a perfect world, you could put together a project out of any media, click the Share tab and burn it to a disk. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons – some related to Premiere Elements, most related to operating system drivers or program conflicts, this sometimes doesn’t go as smoothly as it should.
    The simplest solution is to break the process down into its elements and then troubleshoot each element individually.
    There are three main reasons for a problem burning a DVD or BluRay disc: challenging source video (including photos that are larger than the recommended 1000x750 pixels in size); interfacing issues with your disc burner (often the result of a program like Nero not sharing the burner with other programs); and lack of computer resources (namely lack of available scratch disk space on your hard drive). This workaround eliminates most Burn Disc problems. And those it doesn’t eliminate, it at least helps you isolate where the problem is occurring.
    1.    Burn to a folder rather than directly to a disc. Select this option from Share/Output/Disc. This eliminates the possibility that other disk burning software is interfering with communication with your computer’s burner. Once the disk files are created, you can use your computer’s burner software to burn the VIDEO_TS folder and its contents to a disk.
    If this doesn’t work, it could be that your computer lacks the necessary resources, as discussed below.
    2.    Clear space on and defragment your hard drive. A one-hour video can require up to 50 gigabytes of free, defragmented space on your hard drive to render and process (depending on your source files). Even a “pure” AVI project can require 20-30 gigabytes of space.
    Clear off your computer and regularly defragment it, per Maintain Your Computer, above, and you’ll reduce the likelihood of this being an issue – assuming you’ve got an adequately powered computer and an adequately large hard drive in the first place.

    Hi
    What I would do is start a new project i.e. XXXXXX Final Cut.
    Then I would import the finished AVI file into the project and burn it to DVD.
    I have also found that PE is sensitive to the files being fragmented.
    When I have a project in the works I defragment the drive or the folders that the project is before proceeding.
    This has actually made the difference between whether it would work or not on some projects.
    I also shut down and restart the program just before burning the project to disk, to clear out any thing using resources.
    I use Defraggler to defrag my files it's free and works really well.
    And you can chose to defrag what you want or the whole drive.
    I run it several times a day when I'm working on big files.

  • PLEEEEEEASE HELP!!!!! Burning dvd problems

    ok, i had the imac g4, and i was burning dvd's perfectly fine with it, using idvd. i'm using dvdxdv to transfer from my dvd recorder, put it in to imovie, then record off idvd. now my dvd's are incompatible with my dvd player.
    do i need to use a different program to tranfer from dvd to my mac?
    what am i doing wrong?
    thanks

    Robert,
    This really doesn't sound like an iDVD issue, but a disk burning issue. Don't be too surprised in going back to iDVD5 doesn't help.
    Burning at a slower speed on other media is the first thing to try, along with a proper cleaning of your DVD burner.
    But let's look at your image first. When you mount the image file and view it with the Apple DVD Player, does the video look good there? Or is it still jaggied?

  • Burning DVD Problem

    I am converting VHS tapes using an application named Video Conversion for Mac and it works fine creating a copy of the movie on my iMAC. The file type is .mov. 
    I then burn a DVD version on an external CD/DVD device.  The burned DVD works fine on the iMAC, but does is not readable on my old Mac Book Pro and in a DVD player. 
    My new iMAC does not have iDVD - at least not that I can find. 
    Any ideas?

    You need iDVD to create a video DVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

  • HT2801 imac, osx 10.9.1, burning dvd problem, correctly does 80% of DVD then damaged area, flags write error, but obviously not as correctly does 80%

    help please, my imac is burning part of a dvd correcly then ends with a damaged area and give the error message "write error", clearly there is no disc incompatability, it occasionally will burn correctly, I've tried cleaning the superdrive with no effect.  I'm thinking of trying an external superdrive.

  • Weird and aggravating user-burned DVD problem.

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing a very weird and annoying problem with my self-written data DVDs.
    Basically, when I wrote a couple of data-DVDs today, I cannot seem to copy the files from these DVDs on a Mac via the normal way anymore. Basically, when I mount my DVD I see all my files just fine, but when I wish to copy one to my computer I get the forbidden-cursor (the one with the black arrow and a white stopsign). Now the weird part is that if I select multiple files I can actually copy them to the hard-drive, but with a strange caveat; namely the file that I selected last will not be copied over.
    This was the first time my self-written DVDs showed this behaviour, so to check I dug out an older DVD which I knew worked perfectly a year ago. But lo and behold, it now also displays this behaviour. What's more, it seems suddenly all three Macs in this house decided do treat my DVDs (old and new) in this weird way. The lone Windows pc downstairs otoh actually did just fine and allowed me to copy single files from the disc with no problem.
    But that's not all. If I insert such a DVD and later on insert a self-written CD, this CD suddenly shows the same behaviour. Only after relaunching the finder will this CD work correctly again (sadly, this doesn't help with the DVDs).
    To write my DVDs I use an external LaCie d2 16x DVD+/-RW (completely up to date with respect to its firmware) with Toast Titanium 7.0.1 on an eMac G4 1ghz running Tiger 10.4.7 .
    I use either DVD+R or -R (both show this problem) and write them using Toast's Mac & PC data disk option. Between the three Macs here at home the only constant factors are the Apple-supplied system updates, leading me to believe there is either an undocumented burning bug in Toast or there is a problem in Tiger 10.4.7 .
    A google-search did not bring up anything, neither a confirmation nor a solution for this problem. My question now is; has anyone here ever experienced this problem and found a solution (or have at least an idea what the underlying problem could be)?
    Thanks for any and all replies,
    Tim
    P.S.: I figured that perhaps there was a sort of permission problem on the mount volumes, so I ran the fix permissions routine but to no avail sadly.
    eMac G4 (1 Ghz) ATI-graphics, combo-drive, 512 Mb RAM, 160 GB HDD   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Update:
    It seems that older DVDs do in fact still work ok when one relaunches the finder, just like I mentioned for cd's in my above post. So seemingly the DVDs written today somehow seem to 'corrupt' the Finder with their behaviour.
    In fact the last 'good' backup DVD I wrote was in february of this year, so whatever is causing this must have happened between then and now. This gives me the impression that there must be an incompatibility between 10.4.7 and either Toast 7.0.1 or with the firmware on my DVD±RW drive.
    Any insight is greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Tim

  • I was having problems burning DVDs' fro iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK?

    I was having problems burning DVDs' from iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault.
    I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK? I have seen these with SATA is this the correct cable for my mac?
    I have also tried the Mac superdrive but my imac wont recognise it as it's been configured for macbook air and mini mac. I know I can "make" it work by doing something or other in com.apple/plist, but dont want to mess about in there.
    I'm also told an external drive would work but does "mac compatible" mean only for air and mini as their own superdrive is or all macs?
    Any help appreciated before I convince myself mac is no better than windows pc!

    Thanks but this didn't really help.
    I can buy the drives at a dozen places but none of them seem to know what connection is correct (SATA etc) and that includes the apple store. It was the store who told me buy the superdrive and all my problems would be over. Wrong! It isn't recognised by imac as it's confifured for air and mini mac. Only way to make it work is as i said in earlier post. (Would you be happy buying a car you were told would start and then discover you have to open the bottome and fiddle to make it go?)
    The apple store I would not even consider taking it to. Days without the pc, over priced and don't have a good reputation for actually fixing things!
    But thanks

  • I have a Power Mac G4. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem.  Now I get an error message stating it doesn't recognize the disc and an error

    I have a Power Mac G4 with OX 10.4.11.  I have previously burned DVDs with no problem.  Now I've gotten two different sets of messages.  One states that
    the disc is not readable and an error code: 0x8002006D.  The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025.
    What is going on?  I need to burn discs immediately for a conference next week.

    "The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025."
    The error (0x80020025) refers to an unsupported drive (not disk).  I've read about relaunching the Finder to correct the problem.  Choose "Force Quit" from the Apple Menu and then choose "Finder." Click "Relaunch" and see if the drive still produces the error.  If there's no change, I'd be tempted to replace the drive.

  • Burning DVD-R Problem

    Recently I decided to save some larger files on a DVD-R. Aftering burning, I'll click on the disque to make sure the file burned. The file would open without problems. However, if I eject the disque, then re-insert it, it won't read. Just eventually eject. So far, I've run through three DVD-R's. I've plugged in a regular pre-recorded DVD, which opened fine. And I've never had any problems burning CD's.
    Is there some burning setting I'm missing? I think it's been set on the fastest. Or is it the DVD-R brand, picked up at Radio Shack?
    Brand: Philips DVD-R 1-16X speed, 4.7 GB

    Welcome to the discussions.
    There are a few things to remember, when burning DVD's
    It is a good practice, DO NOT use or have other APPlications Running while Burning a DVD Project. NO Browsing the Internet, or other Programs Open and Running.
    Apple's Burning Software is funtional to a point.
    If you are a serious DVD burner, Use one of Roxio's Software. Toast-7 or Popcorn.
    Burning DVD's is very RAM Intensive. 512 will work but not to optimum preformance. Where Ram is concerned MORE IS ALWAYS BETTER.
    Depending on the exact burner Apple has placed in your computer it looks like your burner will only burn at 1X or 2X tops. This will take 2 to 4 hours at this speed. Reading, Writing, and Verifing is time consuming.
    Last but not least the Quality of the Media you use can also play a huge role in your ability to burn a pristine copy of any project.
    I recommend DVD-R Media.
    There is a big difference in the Speed you use as well.
    Read the packaging and make sure the media you use will read and write
    1X,2X,4X,8X,16X. The newer Good Quality Media will give you these options. I personally use ( Maxell 16X DVD-R)
    Only the Newest Burners will burn at the higher speeds like 8X.

  • Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.

    Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.
    Self has a MacBook Pro, which al new software.
    My problem is, when my burn a slideshow, prop process ever before burning.
    Box show: Multiflexing and burning: write Lead-in, then the process stops and ejects the disc.
    I have burn a Movie test – no problems.
    Self use Verbatim DVD-R
    Who can help - what should I do?

    How did you create the slideshow and get it in iDVD?
    As a general comment try following this workflow to separate the encoding and burning processes:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Audio problems from burning DVD's from Macbook Pro?

    Hey guys,
    So lately I have been having problems with burning DVD.  I use either iDVD or Roxio Toast Titanium 11 too burn movies to play on my television. After burnign them I notice all of them have audio problems.  It's as if the audio is faint for the dialogue but when background music plays its blaring! I checked my TV and its definitely not my Television because sound plays from both speakers.  I was wondering if any other Macbook users had this problem or users of either of these programs had this problem because it's such a hassle burning movies without really enjoying them.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Problem burning DVD's after update 10.5.6

    I regularly burn DVD's on my mac, never encountered any problems. I did the update to 10.5.6 this morning, re-started, then proceeded to burn a DVD. I get an error message saying "Could not record the disc because of a Mac OS Error. Result Code= -18768"
    Has anyone else experienced burning issues after applying apple's latest update?
    I'm using both Toast Titanium, and Popcorn, and both give similar error messages now.

    I have similar problem arose recently. I possibly have a bad firewire connection too, since new - sometimes the disc would mount, sometimes not. However, recently it has become increasingly difficult to burn any disc. So I ugraded to 10.5.6. Now I most often get a number of messages from 'connection unstable' to 'bus device reset occurred'. I installed Toast 9.4 recently replacing Toast 8, and did not restart from the install, and hey-presto, all was resolved. Everything working without any problems. Then I had to restart due to a freeze from an external HD, and suddenly Toast no longer burns. It goes through all the right steps and completes the burn, but the disc is untouched. Thought it was Toast 9 so got Toast 10 - and still nothing! Back to 'connection unstable' and no burning. I tried Burn from the Finder - but same message. I work wiht photos and this is VERY bad for my work. Disc's are the way to store and present archived images. Any help appreciated. Apple Tech has said its my drive and I need to replace it. Could this be the answer? Thanks for any help.

  • Audio problem after burned DVD on set top player only?

    My burned DVD's play great on any computer PC or MAC but on client's (and mine) set top DVD player the first 3 seconds of the 30-min program don't play any audio???
    Client's set top DVD player is brand new and has HDMI out puts, my player is old, 3 years maybe but both players do the exact same thing...the DVD's we're trying to play on the DVD players are all built and burnt from Mac using DVD SP. So the menus all work, even the audio perfectly, but when you choose the program it won't play the audio for 3 sec, then it kicks in, though the video plays perfectly from beginning. I've got 1 sec of Black at the head of program, then it fades up to first shot. I've got that same black slug on both audio tracks for 1 sec as well...tried with and without the black in the audio tracks, no change. Now on a 4 year old Panasonic EM-50 something DVD recorder/player the DVD's did work.
    Thoughts?

    Hi tomwros
    Welcome to apple discussions. Sorry to hear you are having problems navigating a burned disc. In most cases on apple discussions it's the result of the media and not of the hardware / software.
    Please tell us which brands you have tried. Include speed of the media itself and if it's plus or minus media. Also when you used Roxio Toast, what speed did you burn at within Toast?
