Can't write DVDs from my G5

I get this error when trying to write files on anx DVD-R 16X disk:
Finder: Burn started, Thu Jul 19 00:09:43 2007
Finder: Burning to DVD-R media with DAO strategy in SONY DVD RW DW-U21A AADB via ATAPI.
Finder: Requested burn speed was 4x, actual burn speed is 4x.
Finder: Burn underrun protection is supported, and enabled.
Finder: Write (10), block: 0, count: 64 -> 2/30/05 Not Ready, Cannot write medium, incompatible format
Finder: Burn failed, Thu Jul 19 00:11:47 2007
Finder: Burn sense: 2/30/05 Not Ready, Cannot write medium, incompatible format
Finder: Burn error: 0x80020022 The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.
On the opposite, I still can write CDs and read any DVDs.
Thanks for your help.

Hi-
I think that you will find success with 8x media, possibly 12x media. The 16x media has proven to be problematic for older drive models. Drives that are older than 1 1/2 years, will have difficulty with 16x media.
Even though the 16x media is rated for speeds lower than the max 16x, the structure of the disc proves to be incompatible will most any drive that is not rated for 16x or faster.
There are no firmware updates that are easy to do. Updates, if available, can be applied by flashing the ROM on a PC. You can find out what and if, anything is available at RPC1:

Satellite A210 - can't write DVD-DL - need firmware for LG GSA-T20N

I have problem with my DVD drive... I can't write DVD-DL discs (DVD+DL too).
I'm looking for a firmware for my drive.
On Toshiba Support I can find only firmware for Pioneer and Toshiba (TSSTCorp) drives.
Lg says that Toshiba should have newest firmware.

Hi
I checked the Toshiba European driver page and found tree different firmware updates for TS-L632H, TS-L632 and TS-L632P but there is no update for LG GSA-T20N.
If you are not able to burn the data on some double layer disks then you should try different brands.
As far as I know your user manual should contains some details and information about the supported and compatible disks.
Check it!

What application do i put on my iphone so i can download my dvds from home?

what application do i put on my iphone so i can download my dvds from home onto the phone?

You cannot copy commercially issued DVDs into iTunes, an iPhone or anywhere else: they have protection to prevent this. Even if there are methods to circumvent this we are not allowed to discuss them in this forum because it constitutes a breach of copyright.

Does adobe have a product that can burn a dvd from an iso image?

Does adobe have a product that can burn a dvd from an iso image?
(The ISO image is not video, it is software).
and
Does adobe have a way to mount an ISO image to a virtual drive?
(Again not video)
I have encore, but have never used it. Im not sure what it does.
I assume it deals with dvd video but maybe it can handle ISO images.
Thank you

What software do I need so i can burn a DVD from iMovies?

I simply want to burn a DVD from my iMovies and send to another party to be able to play on their computer or DVD.

Apple don't want you to do that.
The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast.

Can't burn dvd from my imovie

I made an imovie from my vacation. Then on my one to one lessons, they told me to share-media browser. I did that. It took hours. Then I put the movie in the themes and was told to just burn it. I told them twice that when it starts to burn, it stops when it comes to the slideshow button and it says there is an error. I did insert photos in my movie. I am wondering if I'm supposed to do something to my movie before I share it. The last helper told me that it would burn and the slideshow thing wouldn't happen. But it did. Help!

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
I used all of them and they all work
• Burn - is very simple but if the Movie is the most important part it can do the job
• Roxio Toast™ - fairly OK and can do other trixs
• iDVD - the best program in competiotion to iMovie HD6 that Apple ever made. Just a few bug's and if they'd been corrected - Excellent. But they never be so.
• DVD-Studio Pro - Yes and it takes a PRO time to learn too - still if learned the top of the cake.

You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

Restart and hold down a mouse button. That signals the system to force eject any disc in the drive. If that doesn't work then the drive might of failed or at least the eject motor of the drive.

PLZ HELP.. How can i make dvd from FCP project..

Can someone plz help..
I have FCPPRHD and DVD Pro..
I got lost trying to make a dvd out of fcp project
Can someone plz help in easy 123.. steps how to make a dvd for my client to view..
Thnx ever so much
awaitng ur reply

I don't want to sound too harsh, but you really need to read the manual and do the tutorials.
You shoot, capture and edit in FCP. You export that to MPEG2 using compressor and you import the resulting video and audio files into DVDSP. You add a menu and set up buttons to get to the footage, and you set up navigation so that your client can get back to the menu at any time. You build and format that (i.e. burn the disc).
That's the process, but it is very much more detailed than any of us could write here.... it's all in the manual and tutorials

Can't write dvd

I am trying to write a DVD-R. Seems to me that's the kind of blank I've always used, but I'm getting this error:
Burning disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. (Error code 0x80020022)
These are 4.7 GB 8X discs from OfficeMax.
I'm not having problems with CD-Rs so what gives?

Retail store dvds are often of very poor quality. Try burning at a slower speed and see if that helps. See this website on DVD media:
http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia
And get media that is stored in jewelcases, and do not label or write anything on the label side.

I have created an extensive slideshow w/music on my MacBook Pro iPhoto. How do I export a slideshow so that I can burn a DVD from it? "Help" does not offer info for this request, only if you want to export to another Apple device. Help!!!

I have created a lengthy slideshow with music on my MacBook Pro under Iphoto. What steps do I need to take in order to burn a DVD copy of this slideshow? "Help" does not offer info for this transaction, only if you want to export to another Apple device and it shows that you must first export to Itunes. Can anyone help me with information on just copying to a DVD? I don't want to email it or show it on another Apple device. I want to be able to burn multiple copies on DVDs as a gift...... Can it be done? I'm not real computer savvy

Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

How can I make dvd from imovie..

Hi I recently wrote this question in another topic but
it seems that it is better to re-question in a new thread..
I am using imovie for some years but to make dvd, I use Toast 6 not i dvd, because mine doesn't burn dvd.
So far I needed to make a DVD of only a short movie (15 minutes) so what I did was:
import the finished movie to quicktime (as high quality DV movie format) and then
burn DVD in Toast.
And with that format, 15-minute-short movie ended up 4 GB.
Now I need to make a dvd of a longer film (50 minutes) and if I want to
make DVD with this way, in order to make a quicktime mpeg4 format it takes 270 minutes..
I have always had difficulties to understand the right format for DVD; I know that I have to make mpeg2 (right?) for DVD, but in i movie, if I cann't use idvd, what should I do??
I hope that anyone can help me with this, maybe silly, question..
wishing all a good day,
minobu

ciao minobu,
Canada still asleep , Germany on duty
In Toast (as in iDVD) you have two options: burning a dvd or produce an image of a dvd...
a) ... is simple: finally you get your disk (physical)
b) ... the whole computing process of making a movie into the file system of a video-dvd happens, BUT it end not in using the burner, but storing the "image" (=files and data structure) of the dvd.
your Mac is able to "mount" such an image; after that you see a disc symbol on your desktop! (as you would have inset a real dvd....). you can "open" that virtaul sic with Apple's dvdplayer to check, wether it looks like you wished. and you can have look about its size finally, you can force Toast to "transfer" that image onto a real dvd-r
as said, that could be done with iDVD5/part of iLife05 too........
probably it is not on your iBook, because the installers checks, wether a burner is installed/your iBookG3 doesn't fullfill the minimum specs... even with Toast producing a DVDs on a iBook G3 is a very long time consuming process...

I can't play dvd from idvd in home dvd player

I did a project in imovie 11 and add that project to idvd 7.1.2 and when i burn the dvd in a dvd-R or dvd+R it will play on any computer but not on my home dvd player. what is the problem??

To add to Bengt's recommendations follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.
