Cannot burn dvd dual layer

hi there.I want to burn a dmg from snow leopard onto a DL dvd.
Im able to burn SL dvds with toast 9, or Burn. Im trying to burn a memorex dl + r dl, and I get 2 errors.
After "preparing" the DL dvd for ages it came out with this message:
Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code = 0x0C
WRITE ERROR
and at the very end it came back on me with this:
Sense Key = UNIT ATTENTION
Sense Code = 0x29
POWER ON, RESET, OR BUS DEVICE RESET OCURRED.
It happened with the app burn as well but no error codes were generated.

I think BB has hit the nail on the head. Verbatim as a brand has a reputation for quality and wide compatibility surpassed only by Taiyo Yuden.

  • 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.

  • Best External dvd burner for dual layer disks?

    Hi everyone,
    At some point my internal dvd burner in my mac book pro died, and apple replaced it. After that, I couldn't burn a dual layer disk. They've changed it twice more to accomodate me (the genius bar is awesome), but I still only have mediocre results. No problem burning regular dvds or cds. So I wondered is there a REALLy good external burner for DVD-DL that you have experience with? Thanks!

    A good bootable multi-interface enclosure (empty) for an external CD/DVD drive will run about US$70.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MRSFW8U2RF/
    They also sell SATA drives pre-installed in that same enclosure.
    Many users find installing an internal drive themselves no more difficult than doing a memory upgrade themselves.
    Others prefer not to work inside their computer.
    Based on your graphics card and the original drive, I expect your Mac Pro is an older model. All before 2009 accept an ATA INTERNAL drive such as this:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/superdrive/Mac_Pro_Xeon
    That page also has a video of how to install a replacement DVD drive.

  • Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk?  If not, which of the components is at fault?

    When I spoke to a person about upgrading from Premiere Elements 10 to 12, I specifically asked if the program could burn DUAL LAYER 8.5 dvds and I was told that it could.  That is the ONLY reason that I upgraded.  Since recording in full HD the files are larger.  I video plays for local theaters. I have been trying to burn a disk that is 7.5GB (2 hours 15 minutes).  I bought RIDATA -RDL 4x 8.5GB disks.  Then had a dual layer burner installed in my computer.  Premiere Element dialog "incompatible disk" The RITDATA says the problem is Adobe, the Geek Squad says the problem is Adobe.
       SO ANSWER THIS QUESTION: Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk?  If not, which of the components is at fault?  I am trying to burn 18 copies of this video (no copyright infringements) and don't tell me to to divide it into 3 disks.

    Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk?
    Short answer: Yes.
    What are you burning to DVD disc - DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc or AVCHD format on DVD?
    Does your DVD CD burner support double layer single sided discs?
    Premiere Elements is supposed to (been there and done that....)
    1. burn to Folder (8.5) for Publish+Share/Disc/DVD and Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD
    (you take the VIDEO_TS for the former and BDMV Folder in the latter to a program like ImgBurn
    for the actual burn to the DVD double layer single sided disc)
    2. burn to disc 8.5 GB/240 minutes
    Have you gone the burn to folder Folder (8.5 GB) route?
    Have you tried another brand of disc in spite of by the disc manufacturer and the Geek Squad are telling you?
    A double layer single sided disc is labelled 8.5 GB/240 minutes. In reality, that 8.5 GB is 7.95 GB. Where are you
    coming up with 7.5 GB for your disc? Was that due to typing glitch?
    Please review and consider. Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
    ATR
    Add On..Have you updated 12 to the 12.1 Update yet? If not, please do so using the opened project's Help Menu/Update.
    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user.

  • Burning an dual layer cannot set layer break manually

    Burning an dual layer disk with layer break set to automatic seems to be causing to "stutter" somewhere in the middle of the project three or four times as if the layer break is not properly set. I did try this on two (new) burners and with several disks with the same result.
    The picture stay still for about 2 or 3 seconds,  3 or four times and starts each time again losing some frames. Before and after that the project plays well.
    I did try to make an manual layer break, setting the layer break to manual to look if this can override the problem. But when I do so, the burning process starts without asking where I should set the layer break.as it does when you set it to automatic.
    It looks if the manual layer break is not functioning. I start Encore in the administrator mode.
    Anyone suggestions what this can be?
    Thanks for replying
    Chrids

    You're right, I didnot have any problems with 2.0, but this version don't work correctly..Some times an already  transcoded project changes in an untranscoded project without doing something, and more unexpected things appears ones in a while.
    And this in not the only backwards devellopement of the Adobe editing system.
    I did work with PPRO 2.0, Encore 2.0 and Audition 2.0 not having any problem.
    Changing to PPRO 5.5 and Audition 5.5 and building a new computer on Adobe specs and this forum suggestions, I ren in as much problems  that I am thinking of completely remove this and go back to the old 2.0 versions.
    It looks as if the develloppers of Adobe lost the professionality needed to devellop a more or less plug and play system. Pitty.
    Thanks for replying

  • Will iDVD 6 burn a dual layer with 3rd party burners

    G'day from Oz.
    I've posted similar to this under the iDVD 5 forum, as this forum wasn't started, but no answer yet. Hopefully people browsing here have updated to iLife 6.
    Quote from .... http://www.apple.com/ilife/idvd/
    "Go for the burn.
    Once you finish your DVD masterpiece, only one step remains. Burning it. Thanks to stellar compatibility, iDVD 6 makes the big burn a painless process.
    With support for a wide variety of DVD media formats — including DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD+R DL — iDVD 6 teams up with a compatible SuperDrive or third-party DVD burner to offer you more media options than ever. You heard right: iDVD lets you burn using compatible third-party DVD burners.
    iDVD even lets you archive projects as disc images. Saved this way, your projects are extremely portable and take up less space, and are read-only. What’s more, they’re already encoded, so you can quickly burn them to DVD whenever you have a free moment or a burner handy".
    end Quote.
    ** Note the 'DVD+R DL'. **
    Does this mean that burning a dual layer project with dual layer 3rd party burners will be supported?
    I've updated to 10.4.4, but my Sony dual layer burner still shows as 'Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)', in 'About this Mac'. The 'unsupported' means 'no dual layer burning' as far as I know. Also, I believe dual burning is only supported from within the OS itself? True or not?
    Let's see who's first to try the new iDVD 6 out with a 3rd party burner & dual layer disk. If it works, it means iDVD 6 really does support third party burners.
    Please post results.

    G'day.
    Further to my post a week ago re this subject, from the iDVD 6 help pages.
    Quote
    Newer SuperDrive optical drives in Macintosh computers can burn discs in DVD+R DL (Double Layer) format. Double-layer discs store almost twice as much content as single-layer discs, making them a great choice for large projects.
    To see if your computer's SuperDrive can burn DVD+R DL discs, choose Project > Project Info. If you see 8.0 GB (Double Layer) in the DVD Type pop-up menu, you can use these discs for your project.
    To burn a project to a DVD+R DL disc:
    Choose Project > Project Info and choose 8.0 GB (Double Layer) from the DVD Type pop-up menu.
    Select the encoder setting you want to use. If you have more than 120 minutes of content, select Best Quality.
    Click OK.
    Click the Burn button (shown above).
    Insert the disc when you see the prompt.
    If your project is small enough to fit on a single-layer disc and you insert a double-layer disc, you see a dialog giving you the option to change the media type. You can cancel the burn and start again, or insert a new disc and continue.
    You should always burn double-layer discs directly from iDVD and not from a disc image. Double-layer discs burned from a disc image may cause playback issues in some DVD players, such as freezing during playback.
    End quote
    The last sentence is interesting, as the commonly suggested method of burning Dual layer discs is by first creating a disc image, then burning with Toast or Disk Utility.
    Also, my Sony shows up as supporting 8 Gig in iDVD 6, but still shows as 'unsupported' in System Profiler.

  • DVD Dual Layer, +/- which is better?

    I've been trying to burn a dual layer DVD-R DL from iDVD6 but it won't let me, it will however let me burn a DVD+R DL even though my burner can burn both. What are the benefits however of burning one from the other as iDVD seems to mainly support DVD+R DL whereas it is always recommended to use DVD-R when burning single layer?

    Thanks guys.
    The problem is I purchased a Dual layer external burner by LaCie and after some digging it appears that although it is capable of burning both +/-R DL, my system profiler only states +R DL, however I can burn -R DL through both system utilities and Toast so this leads me to think that there is a lack of support for -R DL on iDVD6 (whether this is due to the incorrect system profiler provided by LaCie?)
    I've had a few tests and iDVD6 just spits the DVD-R DL back not recognising it as a dual layer disc. I've been on to LaCie and Apple about this but they're both passing off blame to each other.
    Am I right in assuming that DVD+R DL can play ok in most DVD players? I obviously want to create a stable disc and burning DVD-R DL through system utilities has given me many problems on various players.

  • How to build and burn a dual layer disc

    I know that this is probably a amateur question, but this is my first time trying to build and burn a dual layer disc in DVD studio pro 4. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks....Chadwick

    A good start would be to describe your project (one big movie? lots of smaller movies?), your hardware (internal DL burner? external? what brand?), and any problems you might be having.
    Depending on those things, building/burning a DL project could be as easy as doing a single-layer one.

  • 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.

  • Burning a Dual Layer Disc through DVD studio pro

    Formating failed
    The recording device reported the not ready error: Cannot write medium-incompatible format (0x30, 0x50)
    I need to know what is going on. I tried to burn a DVD studio completed project on a dual layer disc on my mac (which has dual layer capablities) and kept getting this message. I think it is the disc itself but don't have a clue what I am doing wrong.
    I have been able to burn the video TS (etc) files to the desktop completely but when I try to burn to the DVD I get this error message.
    Can you help.
    Thanks

    Which burner do you have?
    What type of media? DVD+R DL or DVD-R DL? Brand?
    Is your DVD Studio Pro project set as dual layer?

  • Oh no, its me again re: burning on dual layer DVD's !!

    I had posted a couple of issues yesterday re: trying to burn a project of 4.25 gb using the white moving panes menu from idvd 06 but setting it to dual layer to get best performance. If I changed the settings (and use a single layer dvd) the project size would kick down to 2.5 gb which to me means less than acceptable quality. Since having issues with my G5 (as it would finish multiplexing and then kick out a message "mulitplexer error-error during formatting"), I hooked up my imac with 225 gigs and did DVD One set to dual layer with no problems and crystal clear video. Then this morning, tried to burn Part Two (with 4.21 gigs) and got the same message I got yesterday re: formatting. Lots of space on the imac hard drive. Using Verbatim brand DVD's. Really frustrating. Anyone had the same issue?

    Joe (and SD)
    Have idvd 08 but wanted to use a menu from 06. Solved the problem with some direction from the Roxio user group . . . here was the recommendation from a reply (who owns a very nicely restored Austin Healey) after listing the issue there:
    "Toast does not change the contents of a disc image when burned in the Copy window. So it can't remove menus. Control click on the iDVD disc image and choose Mount It from the Contextual menu (or choose Mount in Toast when you've selected it with the Image File setting in the Copy window. Now preview it with DVD Player. (You may need to press the space bar in iDVD to get the main menu to appear). If DVD Player doesn't automatically select it you can choose Open DVD Media from the DVD Player File menu and then choose the VIDEO_TS folder that's in the mounted disc image".
    Turns out my G5 is the issue. Tried it there first and even though I could see the menus being created in the disc image process, it still only played the movie. When I duplicated the steps on my imac - all came out fine.
    Thanks again SD for your help. Maybe this time I helped you (for a change).

  • How do I burn a dual layer DVD video with Premiere Elements?

    I am trying to burn a video from Premiere Elements to a dual layer DVD.   I choose  "DVD" -- and it seems to recognize my disc -- then I "fit to disk" (the video is one hour  -- then I attempt to burn -- and nothing happens.  I have tried it on my internal DVD and on my external BluRay --neither seems to work

    rross43
    If you insert a DVD double layer single sided disc in the burner tray, Premiere Elements recognizes that as such with Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc. If you insert a DVD standard in the burner tray, Premiere Elements recognizes that for what it is.
    The only time you see a distinction for double layer vs standard disc is in the burn to folder.
    Both DVD disc types use the same max bitrate 8.00 Mbps. But, the DVD standard capacity is 4.38 GB not really 4.7 GB, and the DVD double layer single sided is 7.95 GB not really 8.5 GB. That has to do with the disc capacity labeling and not Premiere Elements.
    Good job with the burn to folder. In a time crunch, you can take the VIDEO_TS Folder from the saved folder and take it to DVD-VIDEO on DVD double layer single sided disc using the ImgBurn program.
    But, back to burn to disc....the successful burn to folder is pointing to the burner or the disc itself. What brand disc are you using?
    What is the mode of failure for your burn to disc....you say nothing happens. Does that mean you hit the burner button and nothing happens?
    We could look at deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file or do a program uninstall, free ccleaner run through, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled. But, let us review the burner and discs situation first.
    Thanks.

  • Helpful info on burning to dual layer DVD's

    I had posted a couple of questions two weeks ago re: burning an idvd project to a dual layer DVD. Was successful in the end. Further to this, Larry Jordon's December newsletter (www.larryjordon.biz) includes a very informative article on burning dual layer DVD's. I recommend it highly. Each of his monthly newsletters have a lot of helpful tips on fcp etc. (and no, my last name isn't Jordon!!)
