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
Cheers

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.

DRM & Burned DVD's Problems

Hello,
I have burned iTunes purchased video's to a DVD. It will not play on my DVD player but will on my iTunes.
I suspect that DRM is causing this issue. I have tried this before with my media player and hard drive and that is how I came accross DRM.
My question is: is there a method to remove or prevent the addition of DRM to iTunes bought video?
I have looked into DRM removal software, I found it to be much to tedious because of the constant ad bombardment and the amount of time it takes to rip the files and "un-DRM" them.
My apologies if this question has been previously answered for I am new to the forums.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Sorry to hijack this topic but it seemed like the quickest way to get my question to you as you will obviously know the answer
I have some .MOV video files (I think this is the quicktime extension used by iTunes as well?) these are home movies (holiday) taken on a mini camcorder type device. Anyway I want to burn them to a DVD that is playable on a DVD player (not a PC or playstation) so I can share them with some (very non techie) relatives.
Can I do this in iTunes? There are obviously not DRM issues.
When I try to do this I can't see how to change the disc format from CD to DVD, but from this thread (and others) it appears that I can;t do it in iTunes anyway??
If it can't be done in iTunes please can you recommend a cheap and easy way to do it? I have tried using various free download files converters to covert the .MOV files to .AVI and .WMV files and burning them using Power DVD Director but I end up without the audio!
I have spent most of today on this and getting very fed up now I cannot believe how hard this is putting my own holiday videos onto DVD!
Thanks in advance and sorry again if I breached any forum protocols by not starting a new thread.

Burn DVD Issue problem

Hello, My issue is after opening encore and inserting or opening a project I try and use the build to burn the project to a DVD and it does not work.

This is the Premiere forum. You should ask in the Encore forum.

Superdrive replaced, DVD-DL problem still exists (sorta)

I have a Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 ghz Intel Xeon - the machine shipped with a SONY superdrive up top, and I installed a Pioneer in the bottom slot.
The SONY drive was able to burn dual layer DVDs - I am using Memorex DVD+DL disks. The SONY drive was NOT able to read the DVD dual layer disks that I burned.
The disks are readable in all other machines in my house (All Macs)
I called Apple, they said this is a known issue, and I needed to swap out my superdrive. I just picked it up from the Apple store and it now has an OPTIARC AD 7170A drive, which I believe is a SONY as well.
I just tried burning a dual layer DVD with the newly replaced drive, and it worked fine the first time, however the verification failed. The 2nd dual layer DVD I tried to burn just plain failed - MEDIUM ERROR.
The drive CAN burn dual layer DVDs, but it CANNOT read them. The drive can read and burn DVDs no problem.
Why on earth would the brand new drive fail to read the dual layer DVDs, but everything else reads just fine???

I had very similar problems with the Sony OPTIARC drive in my 2007 Mac Pro (Intel Xeon, 10.4.11).
I found others having the same problems here with the OPTIARC and some said it was 2nd-rate quality. Also - I never liked the noise it made while burning, sounded "cheap."
I got the Samsung Internal DVD/CD 'Super-MultiDrive' DVD DL/CD w/LightScribe. From macsales.com ($29.95 USD). This unit requires you install Patch Burn (software) but runs fine, no more "coasters" from any format DVD, including DVD-R DL (but never tried DVD+R DL). After testing, bought a 2nd one for the lower bay.
The Samsung unit comes with a plastic front (bezel) which must be removed to fit properly. This is easy & quick: illustrated instructions on the macsales.com website.
I wanted the Lightscribe labeling system: no fuss & bother with design / printing labels. Burn DVD, flip it over, launch Lightscribe, enter text in"Edit mode" - click "Print" and 3-4 minutes later your DVD is labeled.
I do wish I could find a way to get both drives working at once (i.e., labeling two DVDs at once, burning two at once). Otherwise: completely satisfied.

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 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.

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?

Problem with Burning DVD/Audio

iMovie HD version 5.0.2. I have been editing movies and burning DVDs for more than a year and have not encountered this problem before. When I play my latest movie, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the music that I imported in only one of the audio tracks. However, when I try to burn a DVD, the video encoding proceeds as usual but the audio encoding stalls when it appears to be about 90% complete. I have produced movies that are 2 hours long and have not run into this problem. The current movie is a little over 1 hour long, so I don't think the length is a problem.
Background info: As in the past, the source of the movie I am editing is a DVD that Walmart converted from old video films. I CINEMATIZED the DVD which I have done in the past to be able to edit the movie. When I copied the WALMART version of the movie, I only imported/copied the video portion and NOT the audio.
I hope this explanation of my problem is detailed enough. I am not very technologically educated so I am limited in my ability to explain the details.

Hi
May be this applies.
*No audio on DVD disc.*
Most common origin:
1 Imported audio from iTunes:
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
Before burning the DVD:
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If OK:
• Make Your DVD - or -
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool - and at an as slow speed as possibly eg x1
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it
Yours Bengt W

Problem with burning DVD's

I have Roxio Toast Titanium and I have a problem with burning DVD's. When I put a blank DVD-R in my superdrive, select the files and go to burn; the advanced recording options will not let me deselect the check in "close disk". It is shaded. But when I use a CD-RW I can and so far the Roxio help has...well has not been help at all. I mean why would I spend the money to buy a software package that lets me do the same thing as the basic OS-X disk utility would let me do? Drag a file, burn it and close the disk from any future use....
Sorry if this does not belong here, I did not see a area for general software questions way back in the main forum area not one here.

Donald,
Hi and thank you.
To give you more details on what I am trying to do; I am trying to burn in Mac & PC format. I am mainly trying to back up all my assorted college files (I am a college student), these files are lecture notes in Word with embedded audio recordings, standard Word documents such as essays, etc., spreadsheets, PDF documents, etc. The files I am attempting to burn should not be larger than 4.7 gb and Roxio has not given me a warning that it would be.
I am just frustrated that when I put in a DVD-R or -RW I only have one option, and that is to close out the disk when it is finished burning it. I have also gone to the recording tab, on the menue bar, to uncheck the "close disk" box after I put in a blank DVD and before I select files to burn. The option is shadded preventing me from even trying, which is not the case for a CD!
Thank you!
