Can't burn session on G5 dual 2.7

I know you can't do a multi session with just the OSx finder but you should be able to with toast. I'm using a DVD+RW which the Pioneer driver says is ok. When I try to set the session burn in Advanced recording in Toast Titanium it's grayed out. Help.

Me too. I have a new (3 week old) G5 and found that the 'sessions' box is greyed out when I used the Disk Utility or Toast to try and burn multi sessions.
However, when I put in a CD-RW, I CAN burn multi sessions.!!!!!????? I am trying to determine if the problem is the SuperDrive or the media.
What Brand of DVD-RW are you using? I was using Office Depot DVD-RW.

  • Can't burn at 8x DVD-R with superdrive on new dual core G5

    I just recently bought a dual Power Mac G5. It's a great computer but the problem I'm having is that my superdrive won't burn DVD-R faster than 4x. I'm using Toast 6.1.1 and TDK discs. I did a search and it seems that others are having similar issues, so I wanted to know if Apple is doing something about this or if there currently is a fix?
    I really don't like the idea of wasting money in buying several different DVD brands and finding the one that burns at 8x. The TDKs burn perfectly at 8x on my dad's PC and I've never really had problems with TDKs before so I'm thinking it's an issue with the superdrive.
    Anyone else having problems burning at 8x with the new superdrives? I feel a little ripped off because I paid for an 16x burner. I haven't even tried 16x because I'm trying to finish off my stack of 8x DVDs, but since it can't burn at 8x I'm not getting my hopes up.

    Yes, I refuse to buy Apple's DVD because it cost so much. Even if it worked on my computer, it wouldn't be worth the price to use 8x
    FYI Apple has been using Maxell as the manufacture for all their DVDs for some time. You get the exact same disc with the Maxell Gold Metal label, made in Japan. The Gold Metal labels can be manufactured in either Japan or Tiawan (which are Ridata). Check the UPC code. It clearly states the country.
    I have had fantastic results with the Ridata (Taiwan) ones and I use them exclusively for projects going out to customers. I have had zero returns on them.
    I just recently saw 8x Ridata discs on for $19 CDN for a pack of 50, so they are considerably cheaper than the Apple branded discs. Maxells I have gotten for as little as $8 CDN for a pack of 25.
    One other thing, I seem to remember (can't remember where or when) that you need Toast 7 on the G5 for proper functioning. I did not see anyone say they were using Toast 7, just 6.1.1. I know I had a lot of problems before upgrading to v7. The upgrade may make the difference. I checked the Roxio forums, and could find nothing there. If you are lucky, they may give some assistance if you have registered your copy.
    Again, sorry I can not be of more help.
    If you are still on Apple care, I would call them as well as checking in here. You may get lucky.
    Good Luck,

  • Can't burn Dual Layer DVD-R on new Mac Pro?

    Can't burn Dual Layer DVD-R on new Mac Pro?
    I have a new Mac Pro with Pioneer DVD burner built in. I've since found out that it only burns Dual Layer +R type, and not the -R type.
    My replication company need a Dual Layer -R type DVD as they can't get a glass-master off the +R type Dual Layer discs.
    Can anyone recommend/suggest a cheap way of being able to either master off a DVD to Dual Layer -R disc, or perhaps copy my Dual Layer +R to a Dual Layer -R ?
    Thanks guys.

    Everything I have ever read about the DVD-R DL discs says the layer break can't be chosen by the author. It is not a DVDSP issue; it is an issue with the media.
    This is actually listed in the DVDSP 4.1 Late Breaking News on page 15:
    "Using DVD-R Dual-Layer Media
    If your system contains a DVD drive that can write to the new DVD-R dual-layer media, you can burn your DVD project to it with DVD Studio Pro. However, there are several issues:
    Since there is no current way for DVD Studio Pro to identify DVD-R dual-layer media as having two layers, burning a dual-layer project to it results in a warning appearing telling you that the DVD media may have insufficient room to hold the project. This message is based on the assumption that the disc is single layer. Both layers of the disc will be written to as needed, however, when you click Continue.
    If you are burning a dual-layer project, the break point you set will not affect where the layer break actually occurs. Instead, the first layer is written to until filled, at which point the drive switches to writing to the second layer.
    The switch between layers is a seamless layer change not supported by some DVD players, which may stop playing the disc when the switch point is reached.
    Important: Do not use DVD-R dual-layer media unless these issues do not impact your project.
    You can use DVD+R double-layer media for burning your dual-layer projects. With DVD+R double-layer media, DVD Studio Pro places the layer break point and sets the switch point to be nonseamless as specified in your project."
    Can you tell us what drive you have and what firmware (revision) it is?

  • Satellite A300 - Can't burn dual layer DVD

    Hi, I bought my laptop 10 months ago.
    Since then Ive been burning a disk or two every now and then, no intense usage of the driver.
    Last week I tried to burn a dual layer DVD, my driver seems not to be able to burn one. I used BurnXP a free burning software that supports dual layer and when it finished the first layer the program stoped responding, I tried 2-3 disk none worked.
    Then I tried the latest version of Nero, everything seemed smooth (it burned both layers) until the burning process finished then I got an error message that the procedure was unsuccessful.
    Ive tried different brands of disk "TDK" "Philips" "Verbatim" or something. None worked.
    I tried a Philips disk on my desktop drive and it burned it just fine.
    - Should I head for Toshiba service ?
    - Is there any driver/firmware to fix my problem ?
    PS: I searched for firmware upgrades but cant find a firmware for my drive .
    I have the "matsita DVD-RAM uj-850s and I used the right type of disks DVD-
    typ in advance.

    >Then I tried the latest version of Nero, everything seemed smooth (it burned both layers) until the burning process finished then I got an error message that the procedure was unsuccessful.
    You received this message but did you check the DL DVD after that?
    Maybe the data was burned correctly?
    I received a lot of time the message that the burning procedure was not successful but I tested then the disk and it was readable.
    As far as I know the user manual should contains also some info about tested and compatible disk.
    Maybe you should use the DL DVD recommended in this user manual.
    But of course this could be also a hardware ODD issue.
    In such case you should ask the ASP for the test and check!

  • I can't burn a CD anymore...

    Help! I can't burn a CD anymore. I try it in finder and get a can't communicate error...in iTunes...same thing...in iPhoto, (you guessed it...same thing)
    I can read my created CD's just fine with no problems (those I have created as well as those from Apple [iLife 6.0, system DVD's that came with it etc.]). I have fixed permissions, erased and reinstalled 10.4 that came with my mini, and still have this problem.
    The finder acknowledges a blank CD, but won't write to it...iTunes same thing...iPhoto the same thing.
    Burner need replaced, or is it an OS problem? CD's bad (have sucessfully written to 35 of the 50 in the spindle Memorex CD-R Music)?
    Mac Mini 1.33 G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    The following is from the Mac Help:
    I can't burn a CD or DVD
    If you can't burn files on a recordable disc, see if the surface of the disc is smeared or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft, damp cloth and try again. If the disc is scratched, try another disc.
    Try using a disc made for a slower recording speed, such as 2x or 4x instead of 8x.
    If you still can't burn a disc, either you don't have an optical drive that can record discs, or your disc may already have files on it and can't be used again.
    Check to see what type of disc you have. If your disc is CD-R or DVD-R, you can't erase files contained on it or burn more data on the disc. If the disc is rewritable, you need to erase the disc with Disk Utility before you can record on it again. For more information, open Disk Utility, (in the /Applications/Utilities folder), choose Help>Disk Utility Help, and search for "erasing discs."
    To see if an optical drive can burn discs:
    Open System Profiler, located in /Applications/Utilities.
    Select Disc Burning in the Hardware list.
    If more than disc drive is connected to your computer, select the one you want to use from the list of drives.
    Look at the entries for "CD-Write" and "DVD-Write."
    If the entry contains "-R," your computer can write to a CD-R or DVD-R only once. If the entry contains "-RW," your computer can erase a CD-RW or DVD-RW and write to it again.
    If you are using an application such as iDVD to create a custom disc, check the application's help for more information and instructions.
    If you are trying to perform multisession burning (burning data to a disc in more than one session until the disc is full), you must use Disk Utility. See Disk Utility Help for more information.
    If none of the above helps, I suggest you take your Mac in for service.

  • I can't burn a cd of my own created music. I either get the error 4261, or after "Checking media" the process stops and nothing further happens. Have tried different burn speeds and cds. Have re-installed iTunes.Any suggestions please?

    Sounds like the CD drive died. Luckily they cost next to nothing to replace. Or get an external LaCie instead. I have a dual G4 1.25 and the CD drive was always so anemic I use a LaCie Porsche with it.

    Hi
    The error log doesnt provide any very useful information.
    According to this error log the simulation was running correct but the burning process was not started.
    In such case its very hard to say why it happens. Possibly the drive is damage and cannot calibrate the lens properly or you use not compatible medias.
    The burning process depands also on the fiels and data which youwant to burn.
    Some data, CD, DVDs are encrypted and its not possible to burn and to copy it.
    In other case you could also try to burn the medias with lower speed and not with 24x.
    But in worth case you the drive has a malfunction and you have to replace it ;(

  • Can't Burn Blu-Ray

    I recently filmed a wedding, edited in Premiere CS5, and encoded to  MPEG-Blu-Ray (.m2v files). I created a project in Encore CS5 and clicked  Build when I was ready. After it built the menus, it tried to begin the  burn. However, before it began, I received a "Blue-ray Error device not  ready Code 3 note AS storage error -97060" message. There is hardly  anything online about this. I have a Pioneer BDR-206 12x burner, and am  using Verbatim 25GB BD-R discs. I also tried some Optical Quantum 25GB  4x discs, with the same error. I then updated the firmware of the  burner. The project is only 14GB. I've heard that having long file names  can sometimes mess things up, but all mine are less than 10 characters.  I also tried building a blu-ray folder, and burning that in Nero 10,  but still got the same results. My guess is that it's the burner, but I  can successfully burn DVDs with it. I've also used the same verbatim  discs successfully. I can't even do a disk error check in windows,  because of a non-descriptive error. I wish there were more on this error  in the manual. Any feedback would be appreciated!

    Some reading that MAY help
    As well as the below, right click the Encore icon and select Run as Administrator, which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and which fixes several "odd" problems
    To create a dual layer DVD (or BluRay?), you MUST have Encore set to use the Run as Administrator option

  • Can't burn Verbatim Archival grade DVDs

    Hi there! I own a Powermac G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz with Tiger updated and a Pioneer dvd recorder Mod. DVR-110D Firmware ver. 1.37. I can't burn Verbatim Archival grade DVD-R because I always get the following error code: 0x8002006E. It happens with Finder burn and Toast 8 too! Is a solution there to fix this problem? Thanks for your help
    Greetings Fabry

    Hi Fabrizio!
    I am particularly interested in your problem because I was about to buy some of those very disks!
    In fact, I started this thread some time ago:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4140243&#4140243
    I have been googling the error code, and from a variety of Mac related forums it appears that, as Templeton suggests, it is an incompatibility between the burner and the media.
    Some have had the problem with Matshita, some with Pioneer superdrives. Some have had success with exchanging one superdrive for another, some with using different media.
    What is strange is that Verbatim DVD-R of the 'regular' kind are the preferred brand here. I have read that F Shippey, who I hope will chip in here if he sees this thread, has tried the Verbatim Archival grade DVDs.
    We need a bigger user sample!
    Have you tried burning them at only 2x or 4x in Toast?
    Do you have any problems burning 'normal' Verbatim DVDs?

  • Can't burn up to 2x

    Ok When i have my disk image to my project iDvd, can't burn up to 2 x
    Have 17 inch Mac dual core can't burn up to 2x i use Sony DVD Maxell all can't burn up to 2x
    remember before can burn 8x. Whats 'a a problem now?
    Thank to help me

    Michel:
    Try deleting Disk Utility's preference file, com.apple.DiskUtility.plist, and try again. However, it's recommended that you not burn at speeds greater than 4X. You'll get a better burn at the slower speeds making the disc more compatible with more DVD players.

  • How to keep dvd burn session open

    When i backup my photos for storage onto a DL DVD or on any cd/dvd the burner closes the session after the burn. Are there settings that can be changed to allow a burn session to remain open so i'm not wasting storage space?

    There is nothing remotely resembling a standard for multi-session DVDs. That is probably why Apple provides no option for this at all.
    The other poster included a link to instructions on how to make a multi-session CD. Those instructions won't work for a DVD.

  • Can you burn Blu-Ray on a standard DVD?

    I know Encore won't build a Blu-Ray movie to a DVD disc but I've seen some ppl say you can use the freeware program ImageBurn to burn the Encore build to a standard DVD as long as its small enough to fit.
    The reason why I want to do it is make short HD demos of my video work on a standard DVD that can be viewed on a Blu-Ray player. DVD media is a lot cheaper than BR 50 cents vs $10 a disc and I aslo don't own blu-ray burner. For longer videos I can use a Dual Layer DVD for clients who want a HD option.
    Some ppl say absolutely no, while other say yes. Someone outlined how to do it but it didn't work for me, although I only used the last part of the instructions to burn because I was using Encore to build folder or iso, while the instructions are intended for ppl ripping a retail Blu-Ray.

    I'm filmed my own legit HD content, encoding it as the proper mpeg-2 blu-ray format, authored it in Encore CS3, built a blu-ray folder or iso, and using ImageBurn to wrote it to a standard DVD. All of that worked but when I took it to Best Buy their Blu-Ray player wouldn't recognize the DVD.

    For what it's worth, I've been able to burn an ENcore BluRay .iso and then used Imgburn to burn the .iso to a regular DVD and it played on a SONY BDP S300.
    Sometimes the firmware in the player has to be updated.

    I wasn't able to burn a "folder" to a regular DVD, but only the .iso.
    Also this thread where apparently the .iso can be burn to a dual layered DVD.

  • Can't burn a cd after 10.4.10 install on MBP

    Updated my MacBook Pro to 10.4.10 via the Combi installer the other day, and now I can't burn a cd. Neither from Finder or in Waveburner. Coincidence? Or has my Superdrive suddenly lost the plot...

    Another interesting idea. Didn't seem to do it for me. Went down to 2x, tried both my built-in and my external drives. One change is that I now see the "preparing disc" progress bar before getting the "canceling disc burn..."
    Interesting, to compare with Kevin's, is that if I have a disc already inserted, it ejects and I need to re-insert.
    I might try downgrading to 10.4.6 if I can figure out how to do it, and maybe to iTunes 6.0.4 (if I can find an installer). I'll report any results.
    I sure hope this is some simple bug that gets fixed soon...

  • Do I need «Toast» to do multiple burning sessions ?

    I would like to be able to do multiple burning sessions on CD or DVD. Apple software doesn't seem to offer this. Maybe in iphoto 6 ? I tried installing Toast a few years ago and it screwed things up so I am looking for another solution if there is one. Many thanks.

    If you're trying to burn from within iPhoto via the Share->Burn menu option to get a iPhoto disc that will mount and can be used by iPhoto like this then you can't do multiple burns. iPhoto does not support multiple sessions.
    There are 3rd party applications that will facilitate multiple burns to a CD. You can several by searching at VersionTracker.com for "multiple burn" or "multiple sessions". Toast can also produce multiple session disks.

  • Can I burn a DVD with Leopard?

    I just purchased a new MacPro and it should arrive in about 2 weeks. A simple question. Can I burn a DVD using the OS or do I need a seperate software package to do this?
    I haven't used a MAC in about 20 years so I am a "newbie".

    You can burn a data DVD with Leopard's Finder:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8398.html
    or Disk Utility:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8729.html
    and the Mac Pro also ships with iDVD which supports up to 2 hours on a 4.7 GB DVD, and over 3 hours on an 8.4 GB Dual Layer DVD.
    Since I'm not as familiar with iDVD, you may want to post your question here if you plan on using it:

    Other movie DVD software made by third parties offer additional capabilities.
