Error when trying to burn a Data DVD

Whenever I try to burn a Data DVD I get the same error - "The items in this playlist will not fit on one data disc." The playlist in question is 2.88gb, well under the 4.3gb limit. Is this a known issue? I remember an older version of iTunes would do something similar to this, but I thought that was corrected.
iTunes 7.7.1, MacBook 1.83ghz Core Duo, 2gb RAM, MacOS X 10.5.4 (fresh install, not one week old) and an LG DVD-RW GH22LP20 burner, which is BRAND new, just got it an hour ago to replace a failing Pioneer unit which would no longer burn DVDs.
Also, how do I get iTunes to stop asking me if I'm sure I want to burn a Data DVD? Of course I'm sure! That's why I'm doing it!

I don't know why you are getting that error, but one work around might be to put the blank in, let it mount on your desktop, then simply do a Select All on the playlist and drag and drop them to the DVD icon on the desktop. After the Mac finished make a cache file of everything, when you drag the DVD towards the trash it should turn into a BURN icon.

Hi
This Q is close to - Something is wrong. What's it ?
You have to supply much more info to be able to start guessing.
• What material was used ? Video codec, Audio file format and Photo file format
• Free space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ?
• Brand of DVD used ?
• Type of DVD used ?
• Burn speed set down or not ?
• Version of iMovie, iDVD'11 v 7.1.2 (OK), QuickTime and Mac OS ( X.6.8 I read ? )
And all extra info You can supply - that set's us on track.

Troubles When Trying to Burn Dual Layer DVD's

I'm not having any success when trying to burn to DL DVD's.
I've tried two brands, same results.
I have a mid-2009 macbook pro, which supports DL burning accourding to system settings:
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868:
Firmware revision: KB19
DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Every time I attempt to burn (I've tried both Disk Utility when trying to burn an ISO, and the application "BURN" when trying to just burn data files)
I see it "writing" for a few seconds and then it says "finishing"
Then after it does that for a while I get the error:
"Unable to burn ... (The disc drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry.)
I can burn single layer dvd's just fine, wasted one just now to make sure my drive didn't go crazy.

Besides the brands, the writter can sometime makes the differnce. Memorex, Verbatim and many other name brands are actually made by the same OEM company in Taiwn, CMC I believe.
Check also the layer break point. If set incorrectly, your discs will end up to be coaster anyway. Check this article see if it helps.

Enocore CS5 error when trying to burn to blue ray disc

My project consists of 4 AVCHD clips imported separately into Encore as timelines and then I deleted the timelines to keep just these assets. I built a new timeline and added these three clips to this timeline. Three of the AVCHD clips are on the timeline with a total time of about 3:30. The fourth is a 30 second clip used for the motion menu background. The file size is 22.95 GB. There are 39 chapters in the project, the top page (page 0) has three buttons linking to chapters 1, 21, and 30 (the start of each of the clips). The other pages of the menu have 6 video buttons per page linked to chapters. All of the clips when highlighted will lead to the project setting "Do Not Transcode" (which is what I want) and I am buring this to a 25GB blu ray disc. When I checked the project everything seemed okay- no error messages. I then went to build the disc and after about 20 minutes I got the following error message:
"Blu-Ray Object: "<Menu>NTSC_FISH top menu",Error:"device error",Code: "2",
Note: "Too many primary video streams in clip (Spec Table 9-3,Annex B)"
The menu name is NTSC_FISH topmenu. Any ideas what the problem is and how I can fix this?

I went to the original motion menu source and saved it as Microsoft AVI (file name: Premiere pro avi for menu.avi) instead of AVCHD hoping that might help and then brought that file into Encore and linked that as the motion video for the top menu (the other menus don't have a motion background). I tried to animate the buttons for all the menu pages. When I click on the Premiere Pro avi for menu.avi asset the options show for DVD Transcode automatic and for Blu Ray Automatic (for transcoding). The file shows as 720X576 and it is 34 seconds long. The top menu is checked to animate buttons and I can uncheck it if I want, the submenus-start at page 1- have the animate buttons grayed out but checked and I can't uncheck these even if I wanted to. When I tried to burn this to disc, it got further along- burning 13.15 gb to disc and then I got the following error message:
Blu-ray error:File already exists",Code:"6", Note:Video buffer underflows. Total bitrate is too high near time = 1321.253267 seconds-
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, 2.4 ghz processor Quad core, 6 gb of memory and 69.1 gb free on my external hard drive and 29.7 gb free on my c drive. I have an NVIDIA GE force 8500T card. Any ideas?

I keep getting a 4000 error when trying to burn discs....only been since the update....Help

Ever since the Itunes update, I keep getting an 4000 error when trying to burn my music to disc. How do I fix this?

Zachy,
It goes something like this...
Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

"Medium Write Error" when trying to burn a CD!!!!

I keep getting a Medium write error when trying to burn an audio cd using ITunes. I already tried switching out cheap CD-R's for high quality ones and the same thing happens. I also can't burn a picture CD using finder because another error message pops up so i don't know what it could be... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Could be an issue with the drive itself, especially if you have one of the Matshita drives installed in many Macbook Pro which are reported to be 'krappy' drives. See here for more info...

Error when trying to burn DVD

Hi
I get this error (repeatedly) when trying to burn DVD recently.
Error code 0x80020022
Burning disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed.
It's self explanatory I know, but what am I supposed to do about it? Is it a problem with my hardware?. I can't see the icon for my disc drive in Disc Utility to check it.
I've shut down and restarted, tried different DVDs, they're all DVD-R although I did try at first with a DVD +RW and hope this hasn't caused some damage.
Hope someone can help thanks.
I'm having loads of problems creating iDVDs as well. But I think I need to resolve issues one at a time....
Helen

Hi Helen - here are some general purpose iDVD tips that may address some of your unspecified troubles. In terms of communication troubles, could your hard drive be going to sleep, or screensaver kick in and interrupt the process?
General tips:
Do something small first; get some experience before you need to do a big project.
Lots of memory helps; and you'll need 10-15 gigs of space on the hard drive for scratch space.
Buy good quality disks - I've seen recommendations for Maxell, Sony, TDK and a few others based on testing. I primarily use the first two and usually don't have trouble.
Give yourself lots of time.
Turn off your screen savers and energy savers; don't let your hard drive go to sleep.
Get your computer healthy and ready for some heavy lifting. (video work could be the hardest job your computer can do) MacJanitor and Apple's DiskUtility's Repair Permissions is my routine.
Most of the time iDVD is working, it is encoding (compressing) your video to fit on the DVD. Create an image .img file (patchburn for iDVD 4 and older) and use Toast or Disk Utility to burn it to disk. Burn slow (1 or 2x) and let it cool down.
I keep my projects under 60 minutes (for highest resolution).
Try testers; you can use DVD-RW
I import into iDVD rather than export from iMovie (fewer errors).
No other apps open.
Let it encode and burn while you go to bed; it can take awhile, esp. on older Macs. Don't quit iDVD even when the DVD is burned, until you've played the DVD in a regular player (it's much easier to burn another disk and check to see if the problem was a bad disk, than to go back through all that encoding again by quitting iDVD).

Error When Trying to Burn

Hi! I've been trying to burn a few DVD's using Adobe Encore CS5, but I've been encountering an error every time i try to burn. I've used the Adobe Dynamic Link to bring in a Premiere Pro Sequence into Encore, and I've authored all of the menus. I transcoded the sequence before burning, but when I burn the disc I encounter the error "PGC 'Title of main menu' has an error at 00;00;48;25 (the length of the menu before it loops). internal software error: %0, line (Menu Title) - PGC Info: name = (Menu Title), ref Cpgc, time = 00;00;48;25". I have tried re-making the menu from scratch several time but I get the same error every time. I have gotten the same error on several other projects. How do I fix this?

Some people (for reasons I don't know) have problems with Dynamic Link

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.
