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 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 !

  • Can i Burn Dvd's with my Powerbook G4

    Hi,
    I have a Powerbook G4 Running Mac OS X Tiger it has a Matshita cd-rw cw-8123. I was under the impression when i bought my powerbook that i could durn Dvd Movies with it, as i thought it was standard with any Powerbook G4.
    Please can someone assist with the following.
    1 - Should i be able to burn Dvd's
    2 - Can i get the software added to Durn Dvd's

    Simon -
    Earlier versions of iDVD and Panther did not allow you to burn directly from iDVD to an external DVD burner. With the current version of iDVD and Tiger, you can. You just have to select the external burner. However, you can also burn your DVD as a Disc Image to your hard drive, and then burn the contents of that Disc Image to your DVD using Dragon Burn or Toast. Finally, there is an Easter Egg available that will work with Panther, enabling you to burn directly from an older iDVD and Panther to an external drive.
    I wish I could be more specific and offer more step-by-step instructions, but it's been awhile since I did that. But, here are some links that you will find to be more helpful than I can be:

    yes it does - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC623Z/A/iLife-11
    iWeb and iDVD
    iLife ’11 also includes iWeb and iDVD for creating instant websites and burning your own DVDs.
    Note:  iDVD and iWeb are included in the iLife '11 single-user and family pack box, but they are not included on new Mac computers.

  • 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.

  • 1 Ghz Tibook with superdrive - can't burn dvd's anymore

    Hi,
    I keep having problems burning DVD's with my Ti-Book. Am running 10.3.9. It starts the burn (like for iTunes), but then it quits with an error. The drive used to work, and its still burns audio cd's just fine.
    The partially burned DVD does show it burned about 1/4 of the disk surface, but then it stops.
    Sound familiar?
    thanks

    There is a big difference in iTunes and the Media you choose.
    DVD-R Media is the most widely used and recognized by players and computers alike. Many older computers are not able to read or write DVD+R Media and likewise are not able to use the higher speed media of 16X as well.
    Some of the newer high speed media is marked on the packaging that it will burn at 1X,2X,4X,8X,16X but you must read the packaging.
    Itunes will burn CD or MP3, (DATA is different than Audio or VideoTS)
    Some users find the Software funished in there machines harder to use than the Roxio Toast 8 or Popcorn that is basicly choose what you are burning and add the folder and click burn. Were-as iTunes and iMovie are a little harder to use, in that first you must click your Blue Apple and then choose System Preferences and then choose CD-DVD and select what you want to happen when you insert either a Commercial CD or blank CD and the same with a Commercial DVD and a blank DVD.
    Burning CD's and mp3's as well as Data and Music and Video TS DVD's each one is different and requires different settings unless you use Toast, which is much easier. Using Toast you simply select Audio, Data, or Video, drag the contents to the box and click burn. This will read write and verify your project if you are using the correct media for your burner.
    ERROR messages are caused by the wrong media many times.
    Remember if you are using itunes to burn with you need to use CD's if you are trying to copy music to DVD's your best bet is to use the disk utility.

  • 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?

  • I can not burn CD's with my Itunes anymore. It tells  me I am missing CD burner and to re download ITunes. I have done that and it stills does not work. Every time I try, Disc Recorder not found keeps coming up! Please someone help me!!!

    I can not burn a CD with my itunes anymore. It tells me to re download itunes. I have done that and still have the same problem. When I do try, Missing disc recorder keeps coming up. Please help!!!!

    Hello again, Stew.
    Also when I open itunes it gives me a warning and says "The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importingand burning cd's and dvds are missing. Please reinstall itunes."
    With that one let's first try a reboot and repair.
    Reboot the PC (very important), and the do a *repair install* of iTunes.
    Go to your "Add or Remove Programs" control panel, select iTunes, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Does iTunes launch without the error message now?
    If no luck there, try checking for a device filter conflict in your registry:

  • 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.

    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 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)
