Cant burn any DVD's

I realize that this is not a Roxio forum for Toast 9 or 10 but suddenly they are both reporting illegal sense keys. So I decided to use the Disk Utility to burn and on my first optical drive its giving me an error saying it cannot calibrate the drive, this was the drive shipped with my desktop that has not given me much problems since I have had it. My second optical drive is a Samsung from OWC and it has also been fine but Disk Utility is now reporting errors on that drive as well and both versions of Toast will not complete any burn nor verify. I have switched users, trashed preferences but to no avail. Anyone or any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance. This is also a problem on my MacBook Pro 2.2 duo core. Thanks

You didn't say if you have tried a better brand of DVD ot the brand you are trying now.

Why can't you do this? There's plenty of third-party software that can do the job. Download a few from
MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and try them out before choosing one to purchase.

I can't burn any DVD or CD - burning process interrupts before it ends

Hi everybody !
Sorry for my bad english, but I assume you're all aware about the frenches are not very good at english.
I've got the following problem: I can't burn any dvd or cd. I've already tried with different programs such as Sonic, Nero 7.0, and I Tunes, and I got every time a mistake wich interrupted the burning process before it ends.
So I don't know what to day ! I've already tried to re install the drivers, but it's didtn't change anything.
In order to help you, I've saved an error log from nero. I hope it could be helpfull to someone who could help me !
Here is the log:

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 ;(

I did burn the same way in MAC OS X 10.6.8. with no troubles!
Can anyone please help me out?

Cant Burn Data Dvds HELP!

Actually Im not sure I can burn any Dvds at all! Im on a toshiba satelittle L305-s5919....and ive had it for quite a few years but ive never tried to burn anything before. Ive downloaded three diffrent programs and each program gives me basically-rthe same error that the Disc isnt compatible?! but im using the SAME dvds ( DVD-R ) that i use in my desktop and they work just fine on my desktop.... is it because this drive is a rw that i need a diffrent type of disc or something? or is my burning function just dead? UHG!!!!!!!!!! HELP!

I looked up your model. Your DVD drive is supermulti drive, capable of many media types. The spec states that its DVD-R Maximum Speed Compatibility single layer is 8X. Are you using optical media that is compatible? Another type of problems people sometimes have is brand of media. Some burner is picky about lower quality name brands such as Memorex.
I use ImageBurn free program that many in video forum seem like. It’s usually reliable.

Cant Burn a DVD

Having trouble burning a DVD.
if i burn photos from a folder to a CD, no problems. If i try to burn the same images from the same folder to a a DVD then the computer freezes, does it matter what type of DVD i use. Such as DVD-RW or DVD+RW

Well, Shelley.
If you'd bothered to describe the problem in more real detail I might have recommended some real sort of action. As your description goes, there is no reason that simple button will do any harm to DVD SP 's ability to burn discs. But since you mentioned version 4.03 of the software and version 10.5 of the operating system on Mac Pro I think there is your problem. Have you been able to burn discs in the past? If so, was it before 10.5? In any case you should upgrade at least to v. 4.1 of DVD SP which runs natively on Intel machines. Good luck with your project

HP dv6263cl DVD Rom unable to burn any dvd

dear hp/support team mates:
i have purchased HP 6000 series notebook in Oct -07 and i m satisfied with its performance. intially i didn't have any data to burn on the dvd rom. but with passage of time i have data which requires backup on dvd rom. now the problem i m facing is i m unable to write/burn any data on blank dvd's which are available in open market.
i have changed different brands of dvd rw and used multi softwares to burn the dvd. everytime i get the error its dvd fault which is unable to have write on it. now i m not technical person but if proper guidence is transfered then i m able to diagnose the issue.
the error i get is .. The disc in the drive is not writable disc or it is full. Please insert a writable disc in drive.
now waiting for the response from your end.

Can you play a movie dvd? In other words is the dvd drive otherwise operational? If you have never reloaded the operating system after 2.5 years that would be the place to start. After all that time it is very possible the registry or other part of software is corrupted. You also say you have installed multiple disk burning software installations. That can pose a problem. I would ask you to recover it to factory state or better yet install a new clean copy of Windows 7 so we can properly isolate potential hardware issues from software issues.
We are not official HP people by the way just users who volunteer to help.
I am assuming you have Vista but if that is wrong let us know.

What do I do wrong, cant burn a DVD from FCPX 10.1.1

It comes with this window

OK.
Then we'll need some more basic information: System specs; Original media format; project settings.
Are you using physical media or making a disk image?
Have you ever before exported and burned a DVD with your current setup?
Can you export this project with any other share options – for example, a master file? If you cannot, are you able to export another existing or a test project?

Cant burn DL DVD after Leopard Install

Hi, Hopefully Im not the only one having this problem after installing the new Leopard OS X (and from doing extensive google searches it doesn't look like I am). Hopefully someone has a solution because calling into support they didn't.
Previously with Tiger I could burn to all my Memorex DVD+R DL discs. Now no such luck. I get error codes from finder that say:
Burning the disc failed because communication to disc drive failed. (Error code 0x80020022)
When burning in Roxio Toast Titanium 8.0.3 I get the error:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = HARDWARE ERROR
Sense Code = 0x44
INTERNAL TARGET FAILURE
My drive information is:
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857E:
Firmware Revision: ZB0E
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
Note: never had any of these problems until installing Leopard so I highly doubt the disc drive is toast. Also can burn to all other media just not DL dvds. The macbook is only 5.5 months old.
Really don't want to have to send away and be without laptop. Hope someone can help and Apple fixes this leopard bug soon.

The drive will be degraded to this if you have Parallels (3.x) running. I have proved this by displaying the profiler when it is running and when not (suspended). The profile for the drive is different in each case and the DL capability is there when it is not. It is possible that VMWare Fusion may do the same
That said I cannot make a copy of my Leopard DL install disk. The cdr file was created fine on disk using DU, and can be installed to an external drive using DU Restore. The result is a bootable external drive which works fine. However I cannot get the same image onto a DL DVD using DU or Toast 7. The disk writes fine, but when reinserted into the drive it whirrs for a while and then ejects. Any ideas?

G5 Quad won't burn ANY DVD faster than 4x

I can't find a firmware update for the Pioneer DVR110D in my Mac. I never really paid much attention to how fast it was burning because it was only occasional use, but now I'm burning a lot of edited video, and it makes a big difference. I've tried Philips, Memorex, Sony, TDK, Ritek, Taiyo-Yuden and HP and can't get ANY of them to burn at the drive's rated speed. Some will only burn at 2x! Doesn't seem to matter if they're 4x, 8x or 16x. DL-DVDs only burn at 1x instead of 2.4. It's maddening.
If I'm making discs from images with Disk Utility all speed choices are grayed out, and I get what I get. Three consecutive discs off the stack may give me dupes at 1x, 2x and 4x.
There's a firmware update to 1.41 on Pioneer's site for the 110D, but it won't work on this drive. I've tried putting it in my PC, and it shows in Pioneer's drive identifier utility as a 110D, but the firmware update utility itself won't run because it says it can't find a compatible drive.
We had many problems with the Matsushita drives in our G5 iMacs not recognizing faster media, but a firmware upgrade at the Genius bar fixed those. Is there anything available for the Pioneer. The site only turns up two DVD firmware updates, neither of which applies to this drive.

Hi yakkyakk-
It is quite possible the drive is simply dirty. You could try a lens cleaning kit. It is also possible that the drive is failing.
For any serious burning an external is the way to go. I always consider the internal drive for occasional use. If you want to upgrade the internal drive yourself it is quite easy and you can buy an internal drive for around 40 bucks.

It says my superdrive isnt supported so i cant burn a dvd????!!

Both me and my sister have Macbooks with the latest verison of iLife
i recently made a movie on imovie for school.
My teacher just told me that i had to burn the movie to a dvd.
Right when i opened IDVD (for the first time) a message came up saying that my superdrive was not supported and so i could edit videos on iDVD but i couldnt burn anything
i tried this on my sisters computer and teh same thing happened
has this happened to anyone else?
and how can i fix this!
my sister has a brand new computer and i just updated all the software on both macs but it didnt work.
help anyone?
thanks

If you do indeed have a combo drive then here are 2 options:
Buy a Lacie Ext. FW Burner
or Build your own like i did here (4 easy steps).
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5826631&#5826631
I prefer building my own within an ext. FW enclosure (requires no additional drivers whereas Lacie and others might) Pioneer S-Drives (both internal and ext. FW) model types include and are not limited to DVR-103, 104, 107, 110, 111, 112, etc. Highly recommend using a DL Burners btw or at least having this capacity available to you.

Can't burn any DVDs on external firewire drive

Since I installed OS 10.4.9, neither DVDSP or toast titanium will recognize a "stable connection" to my external firewire lacie recorder... the message I get from toast is:
1. Interface Error: -50
The connection is not stable
2. The drive reported an error:
SENSE KEY = Illegal request
SENSE CODE = 0x30, 0x50
CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM, INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT
And I've been using the same media for years, without a problem.
But if I connect this device to another laptop or desktop, it'll work fine.
It still can burn CDs, and read every format. But just can't burn DVDs.
DVDSP gives me the same problem. I can use my internal burner but it's slower than using my external drive.
Ideas?
Thanks.

Itunes video cant burn to dvd

Is there anyway to take video i have purchased from the itunes music store and burn it to dvd so i can watch it on my plasma

I'd like to know the same thing...if I click burn, will it only burn the music? The video plays choppy on my computer.
