Cannot burn a CD in 6.5.2

I finally got the newest version of iTunes installed, and everything seems to work, except for burning CD's. I keep getting the Burn failure error #4251. And, I removed my other burning software, so I dont think its a conflict between the two. And, I checked for updates for my burner, and I didnt find any. I was able to burn cd's in my previous version, which was iTunes 6.3. I did the cd diagnostics, and here is that.

Any ideas? I already reinstalled iTunes and upgraded firmware. Have I missed something?

If iTunes still isn't burning after the repair install, bob, could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:

Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5 GHz running 10.5.8 cannot burn DVD+R

Hello all-
I have a Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5 GHz running 10.5.8 and I cannot burn DVD+R. Does that make sense?
If I insert a DVD+R into the drive, it just spits it back out. I've tried several discs so it's not a faulty DVD.
Help.
Thank you.

I've tried several discs so it's not a faulty DVD
I trust that is several different brands, not several different discs from the same spindle/pack?
Media varies.
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
If you haven't tried a different brand, try a Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.
You might also try burning in a new user account to rule out account software troubles.

[Solved] Cannot burn CD's with LG drive on new system

Arch x86_64 (up-to-date) on a Zotac GF-8200-C-E miniITX motherboard, Athlon II X2 240 CPU with an LG SATA GH22NS50 DVD+-RW drive. The drive reads CD's fine, but cannot burn anything successfully. The drive works fine on a WinXP system. I have tried burning as root with bashburn, cdrecord, and xfburn, to no avail. I have also tried changing the SATA section in my BIOS from IDE to AHCI to no avail and have tried various media. The drive has the latest firmware installed.

Whats going on when after i have put my new project it tells me that cannot burn because my encode it too large for DVD

I am trying to convert a video into a dVd i did one and it will not play on my blueray, but, at least it will do on my computer. Now i am trying to do a different dvd and it tells me after i have downlowed my new project, that i cannot burn the idvd because it is too large check my encoded?

The reason why your DVD will not play maybe your choice of disk.
Was it a DVD + or DVD - ?
Always use a good quality DVD blank disk, at least Verbatim and check what format your player will play.
Next, to achieve the best quality export from iMovie, Share your Project to Media Browser.
Then open iDVD and use the media button (bottom right) to import your movie.
A possible reason that you are getting a too large error message is the time length of your DVD.
The default setting in iDVD for Encoding is Best Performance (60mins) and you need to change this to either High Qualirty or Professional Quality which will allow more to be encoded on the disc (120 mins).
iDVD > Project > Project Info > Encoding to change this setting and see on the Capacity slider if your project will fit.
Otherwise check how much free space you have on your HD.
Z.
PS Slow your burn speed down to x4 for error free results.

Cannot burn dvd without theme

I cannot do what would seem to be the simplest step in imovie and idvd. I have created my customize movie in imovie (no canned themes or audio) and when I go to the shre menu and choose idvd so I can burn my movie, I cannot burn a dvd without first choosing a theme. I don't need a theme...I wnat my movie just the way it is. Please help. This is so frustrating.

Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.

Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.
Self has a MacBook Pro, which al new software.
My problem is, when my burn a slideshow, prop process ever before burning.
Box show: Multiflexing and burning: write Lead-in, then the process stops and ejects the disc.
I have burn a Movie test – no problems.
Self use Verbatim DVD-R
Who can help - what should I do?

How did you create the slideshow and get it in iDVD?
As a general comment try following this workflow to separate the encoding and burning processes:
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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.

New iMac with Lion, do not have iDVD - so cannot burn from iMovie!

I have a new iMac which I bought about 6 weeks ago, I have just done my wedding DVD ready to burn, and find out that I do not have iDVD on this iMac.
I can't download it anywhere, my iMac and the App Store says I have all of iLife '11 instealled but no iDVD.
To be honest I bought the iMac above a PC for the Photo and Movie capabilities, so if I cannot burn to DVD I may aswell bin it and go back to a PC whetre at keast I can share my movies with family, etc.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Update March 9, 2012:
After reviewing the comments regarding this matter on several posts I contacted Apple support. I had to make two calls. The first call left me very frustrated, completely due to the fact the support member was as helpful as sand paper in a sh*t storm. The rep told me "iDVD is no longer available nothing we can do" then proceeded to say "hope we helped you out today".....
I decided to call again when I discovered none of the third party burning software I came across was equal to iDVD, yet would set me back $$$ for something I should already have on my system. This time the rep listened while I camly explained my dissatifaction with Apples choice to not offer this software. In addition, they haven't issued a proper explanation for doing so or rerouted customers to options equal to or greater than their own software upon making the original computer purchase.
Outcome? a copy of iDVD has been mailed out, which I should expect to be here in a week. I appreciate the reps response in making it happen, but it doesn't change my position Apple dropped the ball on this matter. Furthermore, if iDVD is cancelled then how was it so easy to mail one out? Why not offer it as a free download in the App store? etc etc etc....

Cannot Burn or Import CDs - Error 1450

Help!
I cannot burn audio CDs or import from audio CDs in iTunes.
I have tried upgrading, downgrading, deauth'ing and auth'ing my PC, and looked on FAQs to no avail.
I have run the CD diagnostics and get error 1450 from it. Is anyone able to help me please?
Thanks - Gordon

just to follow on from that - i have 'itunes music library' (that from what i gather reading on this site doesn't contain all the info about my playlists and playcounts) but when i find just the 'itunes library' and try to open it a box pops up from windows telling me it can't open it as it odesn't recognise it - i think this has something to do with the fact that a while back i moved my music from my c drive to my e drive.

4310 error, tried all on the support site and cannot burn any playlists. Ideas?

iPods don't look for the library. iTunes does.
I recently moved my itunes music folder
Don't move your music folder.
Let iTunes do it.
Point iTunes prefs to the location where you wan tit.
Then go to menu Advanced -> *Consolidate library*.
This will copy the iTunes music folder to the location in iTunes prefs.

Cannot Burn Playlist off iPod to a DIsc

I recently transferred files from a Creative mp3 to my iPod using my old Dell, then got a new Mac. However, I never stored any music on my Dell, as it didn't have enough hard drive space.
Therefore I don't have any music on my Mac hard drive OR on my Dell Hard Drive - it's all on the iPod (65 GB at that!).
Here's the problem - I created a playlist on my iPod, but would like to burn it to a CD, but there is obviously no burn button or way to do it on the menus (the choice is greyed out).
Am I screwed and now have to re-burn all my physical CDs (1100+) to the iTunes library on my physical hard drive?
Thanks!

You cannot burn from the iPod to a CD.
Am I screwed and now have to re-burn all my physical CDs (1100+) to the iTunes library on my physical hard drive?
Burning is creating a CD. RIPping is getting from CD into the computer.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

I cannot burn my movie onto IDVD.

I cannot burn my movie onto IDVD. Says multiplexing error. Tried rerendering it as suggested on error code. Apple wants to charge me $29 to look into it and says the money is non refundable. Suggested I come here. Can anyone help me? Please...

I went to the TROUBLESHOOTING desk yesterday at our APPLE store. I got 15 minutes free. They told me that IDVD is no longer supported by APPLE and my Mac Mini is 5 years old, therefore, I'm out of luck. They told me to download new software and I thought the technician said the software is called IM DVD, but of course, I get home and I can't find it. Now what?
