Can't burn DVD Double Layer : error 0x8002006e

Hello,
I have a Powermac G5 2x2.5 Ghz bought one year ago (May 2005)
It includes a superdrive (Pioneer DVDR-109)
When I got the PowerMac, I manage to burn some DVDs DL without issue.
Now it is not working anymore.
When using Toast, it gives no error but the disk is never mounted when inserted.
When using Finder, I receive the error code 0x8002006E
What changed since my successfull attempt ? Well, a lot of things : upgrade to 10.4.6, upgrade from Toast 6.x to Toast 7.
This problem occurs ONLY with DVD DL, several brands and type.
I don't think this related to the 0x8002006E problem described in this forum because non DL DVD are burning OK
Any help ?
Thanks
Seb

Given the nature of DVD DL media, it is more likely that dust will effect a burn than with other forms of media; it cannot hurt to run a DVD lens cleaning disc a couple of times. Lowering burn speed may also help.
You can check Pioneer's site for specific brands of DL media that they have tested with that drive.
If you want to upgrade the firmware, you will need FlashKit; google or search rpc1.org for more info.

  • Can't Burn DVD - keep getting "Error during rendering/encoding"...Help!

    I have a new IMac computer with Leopard and I'm having problems burning DVDs. I created a project using IDVD and have audio and pictures (imported individually from Iphoto) that I created into slideshows. I'm try to burn my final copy and continue to receive the "Error during rendering/encoding" message. I looked at earlier threads and saw some people had success when saving it first to a disk image however when I attempted to do that I received the same error. I know I have plenty of memory space since this project is very small. Please let me know if you have any ideas!!
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I have a new mac with Leopard since a week, and I had the same problem ("error during rendering / encoding..."). This happened when burning to a disk image.
    I tried a lot of things :
    * very small project
    * create a new user
    * put pictures in a folder, and not drag them from iphoto
    * change the theme
    I still had the same problem.
    The last thing I tried was to put all the files used by idvd on the hard disk (instead of of an external firewire disk).
    It worked ! (with the small size project).
    I'm trying to burn the large project again...
    I will tell you if it succeeds...
    Best regards,
    Nicolas

  • Do you know how a Macbook pro can read a DVD double layer?

  • I can't burn DVD's on DVD Studio Pro since I install Snow Leopard

    Well, my computer was working great, I had tiger installed and I decided to update to snow leopard and "big mistake" since then I haven't been able to burn DVD's from DVD Studio Pro, at the time to start writing the information to burn it, it shows a message saying " the recording device reported the error #6. Unknown device error. I connected and external dvd burner and when is time to burn it says "The recording device reported the illegal request. Unknown device.
    I can easily burn DVD's from iDVD what makes me believe the problem is not with the burner. I went to Melrose Mac and they told me there is a conflict between FCS and Snow Leopard, they suggested to install Leopard instead, he mention many people has complain about the same issue Can that be possible? I got something thinking my computer was going to work better and I screwed it up!

    Did you also upgrade DVD Studio Pro?

  • Can't burn DVD

    Dear,
    I can't burn DVD +R with my macbook pro. Bought verbatim, sony, fujifilm dvd's nothing works.
    An error shows up in toast something like this:
    Sense Key = Medium Error sense Code = 0x73, 0x03
    Kind regards,

    I don't burn dvd's very often, so the challenge is to remember when I do.
    Just remember that a disk image is like a "virtual disc", so you want to make Copy using the Image File.

  • I can not burn dvds anylonger with my MacPro. Why ?

    Hi everyone. I already posted this message in another thread but got no useful replies.
    Configuration: MacPro Early 2008, MacOSX 10.6.8
    I can not burn dvds anymore and do not know why. I can play dvds and cds though!
    The following is the usual error message displaying after clicking the button burn :
    I have run Disk Utility from the Install cd of Snow Leopard and the small things which needed repairs have been repaired.
    I have reset the PRAM and the SMC (System Management Controller). Nothing.
    I have set up a new user account with admin privileges but it did not work.
    Please, note that I am trying to burn the same Kodak Pro dvds for photo and data archival that I burned in the past in the same MacPro.
    I am actually burning my dvds using my MacBook Pro connected with my MacPro through Airport but it's a very slow process, of course.
    Any piece of advice ?
    Thank you !
    Paolo

  • DVD Double layer

    Waarom kan ik een film van ongeveer 7 Gygabite niet opslaan op een dvd double layer? Telkens als het brandprogramma ongeveer halverwege is, krijg ik een foutmelding en is de de dvd vernacheld. Kan iemand mij uitleggen hoe dit zonder mankeren werkt?
    Vast dank.
    Ries van Dorst,
    Rucphen.

    Please use English - Or at least name Your language - so that Google translate can
    give a clue to Your question.
    As AppleMan 1958 writes.
    I've 500Mb movies that do not fit and 50Gb that does. Mb and Gb not interesting.
    BUT - Time is = Movie duration AND Menu duration
    Menu can be 15 minutes or even more.
    AND
    Chosen Encoding Qualities - also set's time limit.
    iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality *(movies + menus up to 120 min.)* - BEST
    • Best Performances *(movies + menus less than 60 min.)* - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) *(movies + menus up to 120 min.)* - slightly lower quality than above
    And about double time on DL-DVDs

  • STILL can't burn DVDs on Mac OS 10.6.5 after trying everything

    Hi there.
    Ever since I've updated to 10.6.5, I can't burn DVDs, doesn't matter which brand or what software I use. however, I am able to burn CDs. I went to my local Apple Store and they booted OS 10.6.3 on my computer via firewire and what d'you know ? it burnt a dvd right away. this is clearly an issue with the latest update. I did as they said, reseted my PRAM and even re-installed the latest update (I downloaded the 10.6.5 combo version from Apple Support).
    Is anyone experiencing the same ? I know a lot of people had the same issue couple of weeks ago. did anyone successfully overcome it ?
    cheers.

    This is an older post from the Roxio Community (http://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/39824-toast-burns-cd-but-not-dvd-on-mac/); but seems like similar problem - maybe worth a try:
    Either something is preventing the data from being sent to the drive's DVD-writing laser or the drive's laser is failing to start writing the disc. The only thing you can do with Toast is trash the plist and prefs files in the User>Library>Preferences folder and relaunch Toast. You might get a laser-cleaning disc for your drive. (A different laser is used to write CDs than is used to write DVDs). Also try choosing Save as Disc Image with Toast and burn the resulting disc image using the Image File setting in the Toast Copy window.
    Note that the laser cleaning idea was also mentioned in the previous link provided. Have you tied that? - would be nice if a simple solution worked.

  • Can iTunes burn DVDs into our idevices?

    Since burn CDs is a piece of cake but can iTunes burn DVDs into our idevices.

    I haven't tried to convert DVDs to iPod yet (had it for a week) but in the past I tried to convert DVDs to my PocketPC handheld using many tools and found that there is no quick, easy and trouble-free way to do it. The fact that Apple chose to use specific (proprietary) video codecs does not help. You have to get your hands dirty, learn a lot about video, codecs, bitrates and so on. It was more time and energy than I was willing to spend. I may give it another try though. I bought the Apple AV cable to view video on TV and it'd be a shame to not use it.
    You may find some tutorials and other conversion tools at this website: www.dvdrhelp.com, they also have discussion forums. (hope it's ok to post this link)

    My Matshusita DVD unit can read it without problems but when I insert a blank DVD to burn it, Finder doesn't open and I can't do it.

    FC/e is based upon the Quicktime-engine; so, on 'Export using QT', you'll get all codecs & settings.
    but which one..
    due to sheer popularity, YouTube became a 'standard' - I'm happy with the convenience, YT and the 'embed'-code offers - excellent quality, automatic adjusted to the watchers connection&hardware.
    my export settings are 720p, h264, 6MBit/sec - gives a - imho! - superb quality.
    (example of a 'screen-test' from my latest project CLICK )
    for creating so-called 'flash video'/.flv, you need 3rd party apps.
    Sorenson Squeeze is more of an pro-tool, .. you need some background knowledge to get noticeable 'better' quality.
    .. and the question is: are you willing to pay $.$$$ for that 0.x% more quality .. ? does your source offers such a 101% quality, which needs such affords?
    if bandwidth is an issue, because you're hosting on your own servers, consider the free codec xh264, you can install as a free QT-plug-in.. with low or super-low bitrates, it offers a superior quality compared to h264 ...

  • Can't burn DVD, reinstall pkg?

    Dear Friends,
    I have read several other posts with the same problem (can't burn DVD's). I could previously. There were no real solutions just the usual diagnostic suggestions. How about reinstalling whatever package burns DVD'? I have Pacifist. What package would that be? Thanks for your help.

    Dear Baltwo
    Thanks for your reply. I have tried all the usual "voodoo" fixes. The ones you try when you haven't a clue about what might be wrong(disk utility,disk warrior,etc.)
    I tried various versions of Toast, I've tried the built-in burning utilies. This same set-up burned DVD's fine before. I can read them, I can burn CDs, but not burn DVDs. I have been to the apple forums and found similar posts. I am guessing that whatever burns them has been corrupted. Is possible to reinstall just that part with Pacifist? I using OS X4.10 so my original install disk is old(4.3)I'd like to avoid reinstalling that whole old system. Thanks for your help.
