Burning Disc Error 4251

I'm attempting to burn an audio cd, but as soon as it appears to burn the first song, the cd is spit out and I get the error 4251. This is so frustrating because I have no idea what the error message means. Any ideas?
Windows XP Burning an audio CD

After several failed attempts at solving my burning issues with Apple support (who had no idea what to do) I have found something out. The new "Protected AAC" formatted songs will cause a "failed burn" error message. I own 2 different computers and have tried 2 different types of CD-Rs. I have found that Windows Media Player will burn just fine, and that in iTunes I can burn all my old music (under "kind" look for "AAC audio file") just fine also. So I seem to have norrowed it down to Apple's new protected formats called "Protected AAC audio file"
So far this is all I've got. Just don't buy anything else from iTunes for now.
Anyone else have any ideas

I then tried different media and a CDRW worked.

Cannot Burn Discs / Error 4450

My iTunes will not burn my selected playlist. I insert a disc, it initializes, begins writing my songs however stops and ejects the disk. An error message pops up,
"attempt to burn disc failed. unknown error occurred 4450"
Once this happens to the disc, the disc is no longer considered blank even though the attempt was cancelled per the computer. I am wasting discs and very frustrated since I was told itunes is very user-friendly. Please help.
Here are the details about my computer:
Pavilion HP Slimline s7500y PC
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 2002
iTunes 7.0.2.16
Intel R Celerom RM Processor 1.70 GHz, .99 GB of RAM
I need very specific instructions. I am not a technology savvy person; minimal knowledge of computers. Thanks.

I am having the same problem! I have tried everything that has been suggested and nothing has worked. I've downloaded the new version of iTunes, checked for updates on my drivers, reducted the speed and the playback gap, and nothing is working. The CD burns to about the 3rd song, then gives the error message and now that CD is no longer read as empty (I can no longer use it have been forced to throw many away). I'm wasting CDs here! Any help would be greatly appereciated.

Encoding/Burn disc error

I have a handful of classic movies that I would like to backup. After the decoding from Handbrake, I get an m4v file of 1.76 GB. When I bring it into iDVD, the total is 7.64, 176 min.
The DVD type is set up for DL (7.7). I use Verbatim 8.5 GB.
Encoding is High Quality. Aspect Ratio is 4:3. Original is 16.9.
To keep the file smaller, I use an early non-animated theme.
The DVD burner is a Mac/iDVD compatible that I have used for awhile.
At the end of the encoding session, I keep getting encoding and burn disk errors.
I also tried to use a converted QT and cut segments to make a smaller file, but I lose the sound sync.
There are no red flags in the project info window.
IDVD 7.0.4, 50 GB to spare.
What am I doing wrong?

Anything here help?

Burn Disc Error Code 0x8020063

I've been trying to burn photo files onto a disc for the past 4 days. Initially I was attempting to burn raw photos to a disc and ended up converting the images to JPEG. I've tried using Finder, iPhoto and Apeture and all three programs give me the same error message "This disc could not be verified and might be unrediable. Try again using a new, blank disc. (Error Code 0x80020063)" - I've gone through 8 or 9 blanks discs so far on two separate computers. Any suggestions

Have you tried a different brand of discs? Have you tried cleaning the drive's lens?

Burning Disc Error 0x8002006E

Continually getting this error when burning a disk on my iMac. What's going on ?
Burning using Finder.

Hello,
Make sure you are using CD-R, not CD+R. Also, try a different media. Verbatim, Maxell, Sony...
Also, make sure you have sufficient hard disk space to do this. Right click your MacintoshHD icon, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click General. Make certain you have a minimum of 15% available drive space.
Also, try deleting this file: com.apple.finder.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from your Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
Also, run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Launch Disk Utility) Applications/Utilities Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid and click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit Disk Utility when it's finished and reboot.

Burn disc error 4000 - how can i fix this???

I am trying to burn CD's of music and randomly keep getting this error message - sometimes I can do a CD and then other times I get this message at the end so there is no consistancy in why it is happening....
I see this has been a problem for other people and yet there doesn't seem to be an answer to this???
Please help - I work for a choir and have to produce a lot of music CD's for people and I'm wasting huge amounts of time and money on CD's because of this error.
Thanks

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Error 4251 while burning to a disc

I keep getting an "Attempt to burn disc failed error 4251" message while trying to burn playlists to a disc. I've upgraded to the newest version of iTunes and tried using the lowest speed setting and the highest maximum to no avail. Any suggestions?

Not sure I can help very much, but I have had similar problems with large projects. I think (but I'm not sure) that iDVD does not do a very good job of estimating the size of the project until it starts to render/encode. So your project might be too big even for a dual-layer DVD. Can you reduce the size/length of the movie at all. And/or reduce the size of any iDVD slideshows you might also have in the iDVD project.
One small trick (I think this is true, but again I'm not 100% sure) is to reduce the size of the audio. If you use songs from iTunes, what format are they? I keep my songs in Apple Lossless which makes the files large. When I compress them to say AAC 128 or 160 in iTunes, and then use those smaller file versions in my iMovie project or slideshows, it reduces the size of the iDVD project.
