Can't Burn DVD(s) in Adobe Encore

Hi. I can't seem to be able to burn DVDs in Adobe Encore. 'Access Denied' is the error that keeps popping up. I imported the mpeg file as a timeline and transcoded it successfully. The project passed the check but when I commanded encore to build, it failed. I have used encore successfully before this. How can I get it to work again? What am I doing wrong this time?

You might want to post your version when you ask a question

For CS4 you must update the Roxio component http://forums.adobe.com/thread/400484

Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the slowest possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
Use Taiyo Yuden single layer or Verbatim Two layer
Or Falcon Pro for inkjet printable Two layer

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.

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 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)

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

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.

Can't burn DVD's with Tiger

Since I installed Tiger, I can't burn DVD's using either Toast 6.1 or the native Apple burning software. I keep getting "Mismatch at byte...sector9. Verification failed." I am trying to back up a variety of files. I can burn CD's on my iBook G4, but I can't burn any DVD with any kind of content on my Pioneer. I tried PatchBurn with no success. Any suggestions? TIA. --- Dave

My guess is your Pioneer drive is connected via Firewire or USB 2. The OS 10.4 install or updates may have caused some problem with the Firewire or USB 2 communication with the drive. Oftentimes these problems are fixed by applying Apple's Combined System Updater. In your case that is the 10.4.4 combined update. It doesn't matter if you are already running 10.4.4.
Otherwise you may need to do an archive and reinstall of 10.4 to get the link working properly.

I am looking to buy a mac mini but am wondering before i buy can i burn dvds and cds on it or do i have to buy a seperate drive

Mac Mini yes
Mac Mini Server no
So your answer is yes

Can't burn DVDs? Try this first...

Like a number of other folks, I had an unexplained failure to burn DVDs and thought something Very Bad had happened to my drive. However, doing some research before buying a new drive (if I had to buy one, might as well get the Latest and Greatest right?) I found there's a lot of really bad media out there. Companies are buying some really cheap junk, slapping their label on it, and putting it on the shelves.
So before doing anything drastic, try this:
Go to Applications -> Utilities and start "System Profiler".
In System Profiler, left hand column (labeled "contents") click "Disc Burning".
Insert a disk you haven't been able to burn.
When (sometimes "if") the disc mounts, refresh System Profiler (command-R or from the View menu select "Refresh"). At some point, you should get something like this:
Media:
Type: DVD-R
ID: CMC MAG. AM3
Blank: No
Erasable: No
Overwritable: No
Appendable: No
Pay attention to the ID field. In this case, "CMC MAG. AM3"
Pop over to:
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
And search for your disc ID. This likely is "all run together". That is, for "CMC MAG. AM3", you look for:
CMCMAGAM3
And, presto, the discs my drive "quit" on are listed in the section:
"4TH CLASS MEDIA:
"Pathetic garbage media, landfill material, about 0-50% success rate. These discs are pretty much only suited for preventing drink cup rings from forming on a table. Most of the time, these are ready-made coasters. If you can actually get a burner to acknowledge the disc, do not expect much. And if the burn actually succeeds, do not be surprised if a DVD-ROM or player chokes on the disc (read/play errors). Cheap prices, cheap junk quality."
How nice!
Mind you, I did not buy "CMC Magnetics" discs. I bought a "brand name". I got CMC Magnetics discs with a "brand name" label. And, apparently, their lowest quality (they do have some listed as "3rd Class Media" but not the ones I have).
This would also explain why I managed to get several burns from the spindle then everything just up and stopped. A "0-50% success rate" means I can expect half *or more* of the discs to fail. I managed about 30% before reaching a run of total garbage in the spindle.
(In fact, many of the remaining discs--I've taken different ones out of the spindle at random--won't even mount.)
Also, the fact that companies are "out sourcing" means that even though you may have tried different "brands", you may actually still be getting discs from the same crappy factory! Scroll down to "Branding Guide" at the digitalfaq.com site and you find that CMC is supplying (among many):
Datawrite, HP, Maxell, Memorex, Staples, and some TDK even!
Buying different "brands" doesn't necessarily mean you've bought different discs.
So before doing anything drastic, before assuming the drive has konked out, buy some one packs or three packs of the "1st Class Media" and try them. I haven't a problem with the ones I bought from companies listed as providing "1st Class Media".
Based on the "Branding Guide", I suggest buying a few from one or more of:
Verbatim
Sony
Panasonic
Then see if your drive problem suddenly clears up. Did for me. Now to figure out what to do with the 60+ CMC coasters I have left...

A great tip that works in OS X 10.5.
Does anyone know how to get the same information under 10.4?
If Disk Utility in 10.4 doesn't do it, there are two things I've seen that could help though I cannot vouch for them. One is a little utility here:
http://tinyurl.com/yr6brj
Now, that's a Google translated page in Japanese. But I could find no other widgets out there that read the info. I did download the program from here:
http://homepage.mac.com/raktajino/dvdmediainspector/dvdmediainspector-1.0b1.dmg
And tried it out. It worked for me. Just leave the "Format" setting to: Pre-recorded Information in Lead-in. Insert a disk, click on the drive name in the top box of the window when the name appears (takes a sec as the disk is mounted). You get hex (which to most folks is known as "gibberish" <g>). But in the first couple of lines on the right hand side, you should see the manufacturer info such as:
read DVD structure [0E]
00 6C 00 00 01 40 C1 FD 9E D8 52 00 02 84 0D 12 [email protected].....
98 99 90 00 03 43 4D 43 20 4D 41 00 04 47 2E 20 .....CMC MA..G.
41 4D 33 00 05 88 80 00 00 00 02 00 06 09 0D 14 AM3.............
Second line, far right, you see the "CMC MAG AM3" (with some spaces in "MAG", no I don't know why). Of course, you'll be looking for codes from here:
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
They should show up somewhere in those first few lines.
According to this discussion:
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=56774
You can get the info in Toast. I can't verify that myself as I don't have the software.

Can you burn dvd's in PSE 11 without purchasing more software?

I just upgraded from PSE 7 because I had problems with sharing and burning dvd's, now it seems that I can not burn a cd or dvd without buying more software. What am I missing here?

The options in PSE have always been limited where it’s possible to create a data disk for viewing on computers or a back-up disk. Windows users can create a wmv file and then use that in the free Windows DVD maker to create a DVD which can be played on a TV but it’s a bit cumbersome. Ideally you should have purchased the combo Photoshop+Premiere Elements which is the best value, imho and which will give you lots of output options for DVD, Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook etc. I had a similar problem some years ago but managed to get my store to exchange PSE for PSE/PRE.
