Error Message When Trying To Burn A DVD

I just got a new MacBook Pro running 10.6.3 and when i try to burn a DVD using Toast 7. And I get this error message and the disk will not burn. Does anyone else get this message and how can I fix this.... Thanks
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = Medium ERROR
Sense Code = 0x02
No SEEK COMPLETE

I know it sounds crazy on a new machine, but the slightest bit of dust or dirt can cause problems with the DVD - try running a lens cleaner disc through it and see if that helps ...

Getting Error Message When Trying To Burn To DVD HELP!!!!!

This is the error message I am getting as soon as I click on the "burn" button.
The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project:
- There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project.
Any ideas? Please help ASAP, this project is for my grandpa's birthday and I'm trying to finish quickly!

It's a good idea to check the Project Info (under the Project menu in iDVD) before burning a disc. If any of the Duration bars are in the red, then you need to go back and edit your project. Also check the Encoding type with your total Project Duration: if the project total is under 60 minutes choose "Best Performance;" if it is between 60 and 120 minutes you'll need to select "Best Quality."
Unless you have freed a lot of GB on your hard drive, iDVD will not be able to burn the disc. You'll need at least 15 -25 GB free on your boot drive in order for the app to do all that encoding. It takes a lot of brainwork to turn a 13+ GB movie project into a 4GB DVD file.
When your project is ready to burn, choose File > Save as Disc Image. This tells iDVD to do all the encoding, and will result in a disc image file that you can mount in your DVD Player app to see that all is well. If so, you can quickly burn the disc image with Disc Utility or an app like Toast. If not, then you haven't burned any coasters. Another advantage is that you will be able to burn duplicates of the disc image very quickly, without going through all that encoding again, should other relatives request a copy.

I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
"not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
Any suggestions?

iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive. How much free space do you have?

please could you help

Thanks for replying. I went to the store and bought CD's and DVD's of different brands, many of which I have used in the past. All but a couple of them worked. Maxell, Memorex, Verbatim and Sony did not work.
After several long discussions with AppleCare and some tests, they finally determined that the Superdrive needs to be replaced. So, I'm off to the Apple Store.
Thanks again!

Sense Error Message when trying to burn Dual-Layer DVDs?

Hey all,
I am trying to burn a dual-layer DVD disc with the internal drive in my MacBook Pro.
I am getting the same error message from Toast each time I try to burn a disc. I get no response from Disk Utility (it just says "waiting for the disc drive") and Finder doesn't recognize the dual-layer disc when I try to burn in Finder.
I've heard that it may be a media issue, so I've tried with every single brand of DVDs that I can get my hands on. So far, I've tried Verbatim, Sony, and Memorex. I can't find any other brands of media, even at Best Buy?
I've heard that it may be a security update that might have caused this issue. System Profiler says that my machine can burn both DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL.
What is going on?!??

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The two most common suggestions are (a) try other media, which you've done (and Verbatim normally work) and (b) run a DVD Lens Cleaner disc through it to see if some dirt or dust on the lens it causing the problem. If this doesn't fix it then it sounds like a hardware fault and best to let Apple check it out.

I am getting an error message when trying to burn pictures to a dvd rw, and it says the disc can't communicate with the drive?

I am trying to burn some wedding pictures to a blank dvd rw. I keep getting an error message that says the drive and the disc can't communicate. I have run a repair disc and repair disc permissions, restarted my laptop, and still get the error. What else can I do?

Error Message when trying to Burn DVD?

In the completion stage of the DVD burn of a slide show in PreE 4 I receive the following error message.- "Device error - Sense Code (37304) -program memory area / rma update failure". Can anyone tell me what the problem may be? Previously i have burned a slide show successfully. Now, after 2 trys for this equivalant slide show, I receive this same error message both times. I have a Vista Ultimate system that has 584 GB free space and 334 used space.

Since I posted last, I came across the following link over at the Encore Forum. There the user could not update the burner firmware and found that the disc brand made the difference between failure and success. Imation and Memorex discs worked, whereas Verbatim did not.
So, I stand corrected on focusing in on the "RAM Failure" portion of your error message. But, I am looking forward to further details of your Break Apart Slideshow failure. I have come across at least one case where RAM issue impacted that even when you used the right Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor Output option.

Multiplexer error message when trying to burn DVD in iDVD

When I try to burn a DVD in iDVD, at the end of the burning process, I get a message that reads "Multiplexer Error" "There was an error during formatting".
Can anyone out there give me advice on how to remedy this?
Thanks!

When iDVD isn't functioning correctly, a basic maintenance procedure to try is:
1) Closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User/Library/Preferences.
2) Doing a permissions repair using the Disk Utilities app on your Mac.
Instead of burning directly from iDVD, try saving as a disk image (an option in the iDVD File menu). This will take a while as the encoding is redone. If you get a successful disk image, open it in your DVD Player app to check it out. If all O.K. burn it at a burn speed of 4x or less with Disk Utility to a DVD-R disk of good quality, like Verbatim or HP. On my computer, Disk Utility defaults to 4x burn speed, which is good.
See if any of the above helps.

Error message when trying to burn DVD+R DL

I am trying to burn a 6GB project onto a DVD+R DL for the first time. The burning process runs through 100% then I get a blank DVD and an error message that says... "Layer 0 exceeds the maximum layer size allowed, please choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition." I'm not quite sure what this means. Any advice?

Welcome to the Boards (Search seems to be gone, urgh, because I had a post I usually point to, bummer)
1.) In a DL disc Layer 0 needs to be larger than Layer 1
2.) A marker needs to be placed as a Layer Break in the project to indicate the layers.
3.) The marker will be right around the 1/2 point of the disc (give or take)
4.) Find the place which is about 1/2 way and put a few markers in there
5.) Build the DVD to the HD then select format. If there is a suitable layer break marker it will be black otherwise it will be gray. Sometimes finding the right place for the marker with hunting and pecking
I will dig up some more info

Error Message while trying to burn a DVD-R with my MacBook Pro: "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

While using my Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 to burn a DVD-R I keep getting the error message: "This disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
So, I tried the iDVD and got the same error message.
Can anyone out there help me? I've tried both a DVD - R, and a CD.
I made a short 2:20 minute presentation from iMovie and used the "share" to iDVD, then to iTunes, then I tried exporting it to Quicktime and saved it on my desk top. That is when I tried burning by opening the blank DVD-R in the finder then draging the movie on to it and selecting the burn option. Thank you for your time in helping me with this frustrating problem.
Peace, Pyxidis

I have had that same problem, but it was unrelated to any upgrade.
In my case the optical drive was simply failing, and I replaced it - it was a Powerbook, about eight years old.
It is possible that it's unrelated to Lion, as unlikely as this may seem, since you've just upgraded.
Optical drives seem to be the most life-limited component in these computers. The laser just seems to get weak with age.

Error message when trying to copy a DVD with Roxio Toast v6.1.1

I'm trying to duplicate a DVD I made via Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro by using Toast Titanium ver. 6.1.1.
About 3/4 of the way through the record process, I keep getting the following error message:
"Couldn't complete the last command because there was an I/O error.
Result code = -36"
Since I made this DVD myself, I don't believe there is any copy protection or region codes embedded.
The DVD has 2.72 GB of material on it.
Please advise, thanks.

Here are some things to try: Select the DVD in the Toast Copy window and choose Save as Disc Image from the File menu. When that is complete eject the DVD and insert your blank disc, choose the saved disc image with the Image File setting in the Copy window and burn your DVD.
Alternatively, drag the VIDEO_TS folder from the source DVD to your hard drive. Choose DVD-Rom (UDF) as the format in the Toast Data window. Click New Disc. Add your VIDEO_TS folder. Click New Folder and name it AUDIO_TS. Now burn your DVD.

Error Message when trying to burn CD from Playlist

Never had this problem before, but when I try to burn a playlist, I get the error message "there is a file whose file is bigger than that of a blank CD. You need to insert a blank DVD." Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks for your reply, but that was not the case. I closed out Itunes and and reopened it and the exact same playlist burned with no problem. So it could not have been a file was too large. Again thanks
