Cannot burn data dvd with super drive

Hello together,
i try to burn a dvd in my Mac mini with superdrive using the disk-utility.
It is possible to delete a DVD +RW (fast or normal)
It is not possible to set a new name for the disk
It is not possible to burn the disk ("not enough space")
I'm logged in as admin.
What do i have to do else to burn a dvd?

Quite cool + thanks a bunch!
I still don't know (but for the moment: i don't care anyway ;-)) why it's not possible with the Disk utility, the "Help" sytem makes a lot ado about. Anyway, for the moment i'm happy again :-D
Good night from the other side of the ocean,
Joachim

  • [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. Part of my cdrecord log is below - showing the errors:

  • Cannot burn to DVD with iPhoto 5.0.4

    Looks like I'm not the only one with this problem. I simply cannot burn my photos to DVD or CD. I was planning to make a backup copy of my summer photos and run into this problem. iPhoto starts the burning process and returns error with the DVD drive.
    How much does iPhoto require free disk space on the boot volume? I currently have about 1.37 GB free. When I tried to burn I had over 2 GB free disk space.
    Has anyone reported this problem to Apple yet?
    By the way when I exported a couple photo albums from iPhoto it (iPhoto) flipped a couple of photos upside down. No, I didn't even touch the rotate button, the program did this on it own, none of those photos were even selected at the moment. I instally hit the revert to original button. I'm starting to get worried without current backup now. Strange things are happening...

    1.37G is way too little! The system needs at least the size of the DVD as free space to burn. It's highly recommended that you have a minimum of 15% or 10G, whichever is greater, as free space to assure efficient and trouble free operation. If you get down really low and the system tries to write needed files to the HD you can trash you HD with little hope of recovery. I would do whatever it takes to get your free space up to around the recommended limit.
    One way to get a little of it back is the following:
    1 - run either Cache Out, OnyX or Mac Sweeper to clean out the various cache and archived log files.
    2 - run Monolingual to remove the unneeded language modules. I saved 900+MB the first time I did it.
    Do you have a camera that has an autorotate option? if so and it's turned on that may be the reason for the rotation issue. The 5.0.4 update corrects this but only for subsequent imports.
    Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

  • Writing to dvd with super drive - speed?

    I understand from the user manual that I can write to either + or - dvd disks. However they are sold with different speed ratings. Which speed of disk should I buy? Also, in anticipation of further questions, if in 6 months time faster dvd disks are being sold, can I start using faster disks?
    Thanks, LJ

    Hi Louis XV11:
    I understand from the user manual that I can write to
    either + or - dvd disks. However they are sold with
    different speed ratings. Which speed of disk should I
    buy?
    If you have the first generation of MB's then you can write to DVD's at 4X and a second generation (LATE 2006) you can write at 6X.
    Nowadays you can use any speed, if the disk is rated faster than your drive, it will use your max drive speed, ( so if you have a 16X disk and a 6X drive it will burn at 6X) and if the speed rating is slower than you drives max speed, it will burn at that speed, so you don't need to worry.
    For Important data, I would recommend either Apple or Verbatim Disks, and for video, home movies (iMovie, iDVD) use -R.
    Also, in anticipation of further questions, if
    in 6 months time faster dvd disks are being sold, can
    I start using faster disks?
    As above

  • Compare DVD-R burn quality by internal Super Drive to External DVD-R burner

    Has anyone compared the video 'quality' of a DVD-R burned using the internal Super Drive
    on my MacBook Pro (Windows 8.1 64 bit) to the same DVD-R burned using a standalone
    Sony DVD-R Recorder / player?  One would think the quality would be slightly better using
    a standard external DVD-R disc burner.

    I see no difference in the video quality.  Although I use a different external burner than your brand.  It's possible some external burners are better than the optical drives on a MacBook Pro or vice versa.

  • Previously burned data DVD comes up "blank"

    My previously burned data DVD's are now coming up as "untitled"  and blank. However, my dvd will read a movie DVD. These discs are perfectly clean of smudges/scratches. These discs open fine on my other iMac.
    The DVD will read data and music cds.  Why would it not read all my DVD-r back up discs? Help, please.
    I've ran the utility to repair permissions, and shut down-unplugged for 15-replugged and started up. No difference.

    Not yet, but again I cannot see the relevance to dust particles being the issue if the laser reads video DVDs just fine. And it reads CDs just fine.
    Maybe this has something to do with the DVDs? These are stored stacked inside a plastic container in a cabinet.
    I am leaning more in the area of a defective SuperDrive or at leaset in the Superdrive firmware? Something set this off, but I have not updated any software since this happened.
    I'm heading out the door and will pick up a cleaning cloth. I seriousely doubt this is the issue but will try it for the sake of eliminating another step.
    Thank you for your replies. Any other suggestions are surely welcome.

  • How do I correct the error; "PluginCoder error: no pligin DLLs" when attempting to burn a DVD with Premiere Elements 13

    I just upgraded to PE 13 - removed PE12 prior to installing PE13 and now I cannot burn a DVD on my Win 7 Pro 64bit PC.  In my first attempt at burning a DVD PE 13 did not see the DVD burner - drive "z:".  I have a WD MyBook 4TB USB HD and had Security configured which created a Virtual CD on the drive.  I disabled the virtual CD and rebooted.  This time PE13 recognized the DVD burner but when trying to burn a DVD I received the No DLLs message and had to cancel the burn.  I tried the burn again and the DVD burner was no longer recognized.
    I then removed PE13 and reinstalled it - no errors during the install.  Tried again and same result - no DLLs.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your time,
    Mark

    PRE_help
    For Premiere Elements user, I would make note that the presets for burn to disc cannot be customized by the user within the program.
    a. The second thread that you pointed rkclarke36 to does talk about resolving this issue by changing the burn to disc frame rate from
    24 fps to 30 fps. But, that was for Premiere Pro, not Premiere Elements. In Premiere Pro, can the user really customize an Adobe burn to disc
    preset?
    For Premiere Elements
    If the burn to is to DVD disc for DVD-VIDEO, the user is
    confined to two frames rate, 25 interlaced frames per second or 29.97 interlaced frames per second. But, he/she cannot change the frame rate
    within the preset.
    If the burn to is to DVD disc for AVCHD DVD, the user again meets different presets, but cannot change the frame rate within the preset. For Premiere Elements 13 burn to AVCHD disc, the presets are
    Premiere Elements 13
    H.264 1440 x 1080i NTSC Dolby
    H.264 1440 x 1080i PAL Dolby
    H.264 1440 x 1080p NTSC Dolby
    H.264 1920 x 1080i NTSC Dolby
    H.264 1920 x 1080i PAL Dolby
    H.264 1920 x 1080p NTSC Dolby
    Except for the two 1080p presets with frame rate of 23.976 progressive frames per second, the other presets all have a frame rate of 29.97 interlaced frames per second NTSC or 25 interlaced frames per second.
    b. Mark has not yet offered the details of the Timeline content (video and/or stills) being taken to burn to DVD-VIDEO or AVCHD DVD. So, frame size as per your first mentioned link might be an avenue to pursue. I would include that with all my testing of Premiere Elements 4 to 13, I have not gotten this particular dll error
    with any oversized stills.

  • X61s Cannot burn/format DVD

    I have tried with multiple blanks DVD-R and I cannot burn any DVD. It runs and then just says general failure. Any way I can troubleshoot this. I do not have another drive to test.

    Is this in fact a DVD Burner.

    It is not a DVD burner. It is a CD-RW and could read DVD disc. So you could burn DVD-ROM by this device.

  • How can I reclaim memory/storage so I can burn a DVD with iDVD?

    How can I reclaim memory/storage so I can burn a DVD with iDVD?

    Move your iPhoto Library and/or your iTunes library to and external HD that is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run them from there. Be sure to try the libraries on the EHD before you delete them from the boot drive.
    This should easily free up the 25 GB minimum needed for iDVD to create and burn video DVD efficiently.
    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.

  • 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.

    Stops completely? Mine stopped at 95% for quite a few minutes then finished.  This is usually the time in the process where the lead out is being burned and it will not show progress for some time.  If it is taking more than 10 to 15 minutes from that point you may have another problem.

  • HOW to Burning A dvd with 5.1 audio AND WATCH IT AT HOME ?

    I have had I nightmare with the compressor application trying to burn 5.1 audio and the film together had no luck . I wonder what does a guy do to listen to 5.1 files in his home cinema set up ? I know that I can bounce the 5.1 audio into the film in logic but can I burn a dvd with the 5.1 audio and film and take it home and listen to what I have done in a non studio environment ?
    Would much appreciate some help on this cause frustration is not the word to discribe me going nuts for like 5 hours trying to figure out how that non musical program works .
    Thanks for any feedback ...

    Ah, got it.
    Since you have Compressor I would guess you also have DVD Studio Pro. Anyway a quick movie showing how to do it. Drag the m2v and audio into the asset bin (you will see it in the lower left of the movie) then it goes through the steps. Note the audio and video streams are not the same length, I just threw it together quickly to show you. Of course menus can be fanbcier and all the rest and there may be some gotchas in the details, but it will generally work. Also make sure to set a First Play for the disc. Usually it is good to have a small couple seconds of black frames or warning on a track before jumping off to the next thing, and you can set the Track to be first play in this case if you like. try to use good media (DVD-R/+R) brands like Taiyo Yuden, cheaper media can cause issues.
