4450 -- error burning CD

I am consistently encountering the dreaded 4450 error.
I have slowed my burn speed to 12x. Still getting the dreaded 4450 error.
My iPod software is 1.1.3
_*Even playlists that I have SUCCESSFULLY burned before now get this error._*
Does anyone know if Apple is even addressing this issue? Is it automatically a hardware error? Is my drive going bad? (I'm not having trouble writing to this drive with other applications.) Did I get a bad run of CDs? Does Apple ever weigh in on this topic?
Help!!!!!

I'm getting the same message and posted the same topic yesterday, but with no replies as yet. If I find out anything I will surely let you know, and hope that if you resolve this, you might look me up and let me know how.
I'm a bit jack of apple I must say, they do not have specific help, or seem to be addressing any of the issues people are having in these forums, which is unlike any other company I have dealt with to date. Everyone else seems to have support, but when you look for apple's support, you keep getting these forums. They are a large enough company to warrant some online support of their own.
Good luck, hope you get a resolution, but I am suspecting, as you are that the burner is on the way out. I hope it's as simple as that, do you know how long you've had it ??? I must be going on 5 years now, so it's done it's job, just might need to be replaced.

Why is there a 4450 error message coming up and i can't burn cds???

I will try to burn a playlist to disk, but when i start to burn a CD, it stops in the middle and says something about a 4450 error. I've been through several blank CDs and have tried to fix it by doing all the steps iTunes recommended, but nothing's working. What do i do?

I am also receiving the error code 4450 message each time that I try to burn a CD. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.

This error is usually the result of hacking (jailbreaking) the iPhone. It is likely now bricked.
Error 1015: This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple."

Getting 4450 when burning a CD

i just bought an album from itunes and tried to burn it 3 times and i keep getting the error 4450 message. how can i fix this?

Well, 6 ruined discs later....I searched for the 4450 error, and found that lowering the write speed in Itunes might fix the problem. So I lowered it to 12x, and was able to successfully burn the cd. This was an 80 minute cd as well(some had posted problems with those cd-r's). So, lowering the cd burn speed might solve your problems.
Go to 'Edit-->Preferences--->Advanced--->Burning to find the speed adjust. Hope this helps you.

FCP X version 10.1.1. When Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your discd. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? how can I fix this problem? not space prob

Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your disc. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? How can I fix this problem? This is definitely not a space problem.
Since starting with FCP X, there has been tons of issues, now that the product actually works with the exception above, makes it impossible to share the production. Has Apple fixed this problem. is there a knowledge base article on this?
On another note, One reason I have not purchased support on FCP X is because you sold a product that never worked for almost an entire year or more.   Now I can finally finish my project, I cannot share it.....Really. This has to be fixed now, I am loosing money as I typed this.

Rob Harris

Just curious, why would repairing permissions, rebooting ( rebooted 2 times already today) or creating a new user possibly fix this.
I cannot create a new user, that is way too much work. I will repair permissions again, I repaired permissions just a few days ago. Then I will reboot, login and turn off App Nap and rerun the Share DVD.
There must be something seriously wrong with the OS if your are suggesting creating another user.   WOW!

IDvd Error Burning on Managed Computer

I've looked all over the universe for an answer, please help! Students log in to my iMacs to edit digital video. They are on a managed network (workgroup manager) so I can limit what apps they can use. Anyway, if they create a dvd project and try to burn (all files are stored locally--the edited video from FC Express and the iDvd project file itself), it ejects the dvd and tells us "there was an error burning the dvd". If I log them out, log in as administrator, and create a new project in iDvd and import their finalized movie they made in Express, it burns awesome. What gives? I know it is related to permissions and stuff, but I am not finding a thing. I create local folders that the kids have rights to and we have tons of HD space.
Thanks.
Jeff

By boot disk, do you mean that the idvd project has to be saved to the root of the mac hd?
The iDVD project file doesn't need to be at the root level, but the version of iDVD doing the encoding/multiplexing needs to be operating at the root level. I guess this means you would have to do the actual encoding/multiplexing from your account.
+++++++++
I just found this: http://sweb.uky.edu/SystemsLabs/docs/idvd.html that says "Both iDVD and DVD Studio Pro use large amounts of scratch disk space to create temporary files needed to burn a DVD. These temporary files are created on the same volume as the project files, so if your files are stored in your account, the program may be unable to burn your disk."
These temporary files are created on the same volume as the project files is a little different than I understood, please read the article and please let me know if it helps.

Errors burning DVD disks

My drive has worked faultlessly since I got the PowerMac and continues to do so for CDR's however I tried to backup around 1.5Gb recently and got and error. I have also had an error burning an ISO image. The error seems to occur arouns a third of the way in. I have had no problem burning films via iDVD in the past but I have not tried one (I will do so after this post).
I have tried from mounting in finder (data dvd), disk utility (iso) and Toast (data dvd and toast). The errors are:
Disk Utility
Unable to burn
"mydvd.iso" - The device failed to calibrate
Roxio Toast Titanium
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03
followed by
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = ILLEGAL REQUEST
Sense Code = 0x21, 0x02
BUFFER UNDERRUN
the DVD-R disks used are the ones I have always used as I bought in bulk some 18 months back.

If you've got Toast 7, do a Disc Info and see what the media code is on the discs you have. This tells who manufactured it. As you can see from this site, Imation uses many different manufacturers, many of which are not of high quality.
If you don't have Toast 7, you can download and use DVD Media Inspector to view the media code on the disc (it's just harder to read than Toast's display).
I would also surmise that the discs could have deteriorated in the 18 months you've had them, especially depending on how they've been stored.

FCPX DVD export to Compressor: error burning disc; video file incompatible for DVD creation

I've been working on a project for months now (feature film) in Final Cut Pro X. Therefor I have done about 20 exports already from within FCPX to Compressor for DVD. Did the same process last night as always.
From within project timeline I go to SHARE -> DVD -> setup a basic menu then select USING COMPRESSOR
Compressor opens. I click submit and after the progress indicator fills up way too fast, I get this error:
"there was an error burning your disc the video file is incompatible for DVD creation"
DVD spits out and that's it. Compressor and FCPX are both still running and haven't crashed but I'm confused. I have burned since the recent 10.0.3 upgrades (and whichever upgrade just came out for Compressor as well) so I can't imagine it's the upgrade.
Any ideas?
I tried making a duplicate of the project and renaming and exporting and had the same results.
At this moment I am trying to export to DVD directly from FCPX with default settings and it has bee "processing" with no movemtn on the progress bar for an hour (it's a 2 hour video so this may not be abnormal).

I have also tried TDK, Maxell, Verbatim and Sony media
Me too. Out of that list the only brand that has NEVER produced a coaster (on the same burner as yours) is Verbatim DVD-R and Fuji DVD-R. All the others produced a 25-50% failure rate.
Have you tried burning at a slower speed?
Using 16x DVD media is fine - in fact it is difficult to buy any other - but there is a consensus in the Apple Support Forums that a slower burn is a better burn i.e. 2x or 4x (slow burns are better burns!). I always use Toast for burning.
The term "Best" means the fastest speed that the drive told Toast it can write to a specific disc. The drive's firmware and info on the disc decide what speed burns are available. When you press the speed setting button in Toast (after inserting a disc) you'll likely see some speeds in italics and some in bold face. The ones in bold face are supported by that media on that drive. The fastest one is what Toast calls Best.
Audio CDs in particular should be burned at the lowest supported speed.
Verification is a good indicator the disc is burned okay. However, other DVD players can still have problems with the disc. Media problems with various drives is not uncommon. Slower burning may reduce the chance of those problems, and is one of the reasons why RW (read/write) media is always rated slower than DVD-R.
There are some interesting facts here:
http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm and here:
http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm
But many will tell you that the 'slower burn is best' theory is outdated. Who really knows? At the end of the day, if your home-made DVD was verified by Toast and will play anywhere on anybody's DVD player, then that is the result we are all after!

Error burning disc

I'm attempting to burn a project to a disc that I've burned many times before, successfully. (No changes in project.)
Today, the client asked for another dub. And I get this error message:
"There was an error burning your disc. The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error -29.)
It's not a big file. And--again--burned this puppy many times before.
Any suggestions?

Traskhing preferences is always a good first step. I use Digial Rebellion's PreferenceManager
If you have an image background in your menu try replacing it. Or use the same one but delete project renders.
Test by selecting a short section that includes the menu and see whether Share>DVD, choosing HardDrive for Output Device works.
If you don't have an image for your menu, or if the above doesn't work, perhaps your project has become corrupted. Copy and paste into a new project and again delete renders.
Good luck.

Attempt to burn failed - 4450 error

I see at least two other people have encountered this error. I put a new CD in and attempt to burn some purchased songs to it. The process starts, looks like it's working on the first song, and then I get a message that iTunes is cancelling the burn and the error:
"The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred. 4450."
When I check the CD, all the tracks are list as 1KB .cda files which is, of course, enough to make the CD useless.
I found a KB article at one point that suggested updating my CD drivers. I checked but there were no newer ones that what I have installed already. Has anyone solved this problem in any other way? My CD drive is listed as LG CD-RW 8080B when I look in device manager. I also just updated to the latest version of iTunes.
Compaq Presario - Pentium III Windows XP Pro

I'm having exactly the same problem. Get the message after it burns the 1st song. I've run the latest Itunes updates, tried to reinstall it, same problem. Gone through 10 blanks now, very frustrated, never had the trouble before. I've tried Maxell & TDK discs. Moved burn speed way down, still no deal. No updates are available for my driver either.

hmmm. a search at HP on ze5300 turns up a lot of different models:

... so i'm thinking ze5300 may be your series number rather than your model number.
what is the model number on your wee lass? the following HP document may be of some help with determining that:
