Cant´t make my dvd burner work!!

I want to burn my photos on a dvd, and all I get is an error code 0x8002006e, anyone who knows what this means?
Thanks!

When you drag the folder, are those files copied or just copied the shortcut.
You can look at the files icon on the dvd media, if the icons are comes with small arrow on the botom left, then you might only copy shortcut.
Try to drag it while you pressing (alt) option key and it will show green plus sign when you drag it down.
And try to burn after that.
Good Luck.

For CS4 you must update the Roxio component, especially with Win8

Which Makes Of DVD-Rs work?

Hi Everyone
I've been trying to burn a DVD to disc, but keep getting a message saying that 'this type of media is not supported'. From reading through the postings I gather that the G4 iMacs are pre-set to burn at X4 and can be temperamental with many discs calibrated to faster speeds.
I've been trying to use Sony DVD-R, thinking, hey, it's a Sony burner in the machine but... well, it doesn't work. So much for logic.
My question is does anyone know of a make of DVD-R that works? I'm in the UK so brands need to be high profile and available internationally.
Thanks for your help and apologies if this question has been asked billions of times in the past (I did look, honestly).

Hi Ian,
Took some time to come down to the ground and pop in here again eh? Nice to see you.
Where do you buy your Imation discs from?
cheers

Firewire DVD burner - works in OS 9 to Leopard, not in SL

Hello!
A while ago, I figured that it would be nice ot have an external DVD burner - as one that I wouldn't disturb via vibrations when using my MBP, and could use with my old Macs without a burner.
This burner is an NEC DVD+/-RW DL burner, as listed below. I pulled it from an old windows computer that died, and placed it into an older LaCie FW 400 enclosure. Under the older OSs - Tiger, Leopard, even OS 9 in CD-burn mode - it worked just fine, and could burn all supported formats without difficulty. In snow leopard on my 2.2 Ghz MacBook Pro (Late 2007), not only will it not function as a burner, but OS X itself does not recognize the drive. That is, System profiler detects the LaCie enclosure, but as far as SL is concerned, the enclosure has nothing in it. SL doesn't see the DVD burner, and neither does Toast. I tried placing a commercial DVD-ROM in there, but OS X wouldn't read the disc either.
Do you know how I can fix this? Or, is there really nothing I can do except use it with the older Macs? It worked fine with this same MBP before the update to SL for what it's worth...
Thanks,
-Dan

Interesting! I'll have to try that.
I finally got chance to mess around with the drive and such, although I haven't tired this. I actually discovered one fix, described here:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090922213608468
It works perfectly, although I don't much like having to use an old version of the extension. Still, everything seems to work well, so that takes care of the problem.
Of course, next time Apple updates the OS, that may change...
Chen: I'll have to give this a try at some point, although it's quite odd that SL would recognize a drive if booted with a disc in it, but not otherwise. Go figure!
Thanks for the help everyone

Will LaCie 301910 DVD burner work to backup iTunes 10 library?

My iMac disc drive is only working for CDs. I am not sure whether the LaCie DVD burner (301910) will work to backup iTunes.
If it won't, what drive would you suggest?
Also, in iTunes 10 I do not see an option to backup up to DVDs. Is there a way to do a DVD backup of the iTunes library?
(Since upgrade to Snow Leopard I have had over 10 new songs completely disappear from the HD so that they are not on my (Time Machine)
backups to an external HD and I would prefer to have a reliable backup system.)
Thanks.

Thanks a lot. That definately helps my decision. I loved using lightscribe burners (except the slow speed for the disc labeling) back in my PC days and I'm glad to see that it works on a Mac.

Dual-Boot.. But Can The Old DVD Burner Work With Nero 9?

hi,
i have an imac(intel), so i added windows vista to my imac.
i have an old dvd burner that only works under windows.
my question is that the "disc drivers" are from OS X v10.5.8 "bootcamp". will the driver support my old dvd burner run under nero 9 reload?
thanks in advance.
ed

Typically, Windows has its own methods of installing the needed drivers. The drivers that the Boot Camp utility installs are to allow Windows to use the Mac hardware, such as the display, iSight camera, microphone, keyboard/mouse, etc., NOT for any third-party hardware. When it is booted up with Windows, the Mac is a Windows machine, so you need to do whatever you did before to get the DVD burner to work under Windows. That may have been installing software from a disc that came with the burner; it may have been downloading a driver installer .exe file...
Since you have the Mac, the Windows Vista installation, and the burner, is there a reason you can't give it a try?

DVD burner works but only through 3rd party programs

I have the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D and I get the disk not recognized error for blank dvds- doesn't matter the brand. Using a program called Burn x I can burn disks, but if I go over the size limit it just kicks it out. I'm trying to do a full backup of my files and really don't see why the drive doesn't work normally since it still burns using another program. I've done permissions, techtools, and reinstalled the driver but still won't mount to desktop.
Any thoughts?

oh and everything else works just fine, commercial DVds, or dvds I've already burned mount fine

Is it possible to make a DVD rom work on Sparc Ultra 5 running Solaris 2.6?

I have been asked to try and get a DVD drive to work on a sparc ultra 5 running Solaris 2.6.
Its been a while since I have done much with an ultra 5. My first reaction was no. However I thought that I should ask just in case it can be done.
Its got to be Solaris 2.6 because of other applications running on it. I believe that the DVD has been installed using an IDE cable.
Can anybody give me any advice?
Thanks
Phil

I have a vague recollection that the filesystem structure of DVD versus CD
(and perhaps its capacity differences... )
I said the recollection was vague...
are why the DVD optical media was not functional or usable.until Solaris 8.
Try an experiment.
Put such a drive into the system, get a copy of CDRTOOLS for Solaris 2.6(SPARC)
[http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexsparc26.html]
and see if you can do anything with it.
Better yet, suggest to the system's owner that they go do it.
It'd be a learning experience for them.
I agree with Harold that Sol10 would be too much for that beastie.
The sweet spot was Solaris 7 or 8.
Edit: ... and give the Duke Stars to Harold.

How to make the buggy DR8-A HD Burn work?

My HD Burn simply don't work. I have change to another new drive from
the shop that I bought the DR8-A, but still the same!!!
It is always the error - power calibration error when I am burning a 700MB
with HD burn (tried SmartBuy, Sony and Imation, all cannot work)
I done testing with the Nero provided and latest Nero 6.3.0.3.
Actually I fancy this drive over TDK AID 880NA because of HD-Burn!
Can someone please share how to burn with HD-Burn? Any special medium?
MSI, can you please do something? Reply us with a FAQ or something helpful?
I think this is the worse MSI product that I have bought.
I used to be a fan of MSI, my whole PC consists of MSI parts.
Now my impression of MSI products changed big time.
How to make this HD Burn work?! Anyone got any comment or information?
Please share???

I have the MSI DVD DR-8A and i've already burnt over a dozen HD-burn CDs without any problem
My only road block was to find how to use it with nero (it is presented as a different type of disk), but after i read nero doc and chose the right option, it has been flying. I'll report on my media later (i dont have them here).
Edit: I've used
- FujiFilm CDR 80minutes 24x
- Memorex CDR 80 mins 48x
No problem with either, burnt at the maximum 24x HD burn speed.
My only gripe with HD burn is that it does not allow any overburning. Not a bit over the 1400Meg limit. not a big problem, though.
Also, be cautious on WHAT you burn. CD are not a very good archival method. They can degrade quite fast and i would bet that HD-burn, being more precise, is more sensitive to those degradations too.

External dvd burner stopped working

Hi, have an older imac -installed tiger os a while back worked fine- bought a LaCie external cd/dvd burner worked fine until this am 12/29 when THE COMPUTER TURNED ITSELF OFF!! (no human intervention, no power outage) restarted computer which functioned fine- hooked up LaCie and imac would not recognize burner(couldn't bring it down on menu)very bizarre Hope this makes sense to someone Thanks

If possible, try to use the drive on another computer, just to make sure it is still working ok. Even a PC is good for testing, since you just want to make sure it is ok.
Try resetting the PRAM, by restarting the Mac and immediately holding down the CMD, Option, P and R keys simultaneously (CMD is the cloverleaf/apple key) before the "bong" sound. Keep them down for at least three "bong"s, then let the system finish starting up. Plug the drive, pop a prerecorded CD/DVD and see if it mounts. You can use Disk Utility to check if the system "sees" the unit, or you can also run System Profiler for that purpose.

DVD burning not working after upgrading to 10.5.1

Hi,
I just purchased a macbook and found that dvd burning stopped working after upgrading to mac os 10.5.1. I went back to 10.5 and now it works without problems. Since so far I haven't experience problems with 10.5, I will continue using it.
Anyway, I just wanted to let other users know about this problem. I didn't find any references about it in the forum.
Best wishes,
Manuel

Hi,
I just got DVD burning to work under 10.5.1. I had originally formatted the OS-X partition as "case sensitive". Today I reformatted the partition as a regular Mac-os journaled partition, re-installed leopard and the upgrade, and now DVD burning works fine. I am not 100% sure, but it seems that using the case sensitive format caused the problem.

File name punctuation WILL cause MP3 and DVD burn errors – workaround?

OK, I’ve seen TONS of questions about problems burning MP3 format CDs and DVD. I’ve been having this problem for quite a while and today I just got ****** off enough to do some deep research. I seek to share my finding and suggestions for work arounds.
THE PROBLEM
iTunes can burn regular CDs since the song file name is not actually put on the CD. The CD or DVD burner work for burning audio discs and with other applications. All the burn preferences are set correctly and have been validated. But when you attempt to burn an MP3 CD or DVD (for backup, transfer or for player that play MP3 discs), iTunes may do the following:
Checking media (iTunes will ask: “You have inserted a DVD. Are you sure you want to create a Data DVD? answer yes, it’s a blank DVD disc in a working DVD burner)
Checking playlist
Burning disc… initializing
"The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (xxxx).”
THE CAUSE
Many times the error is due to song, album or artist names with unacceptable punctuation in them. iTunes does not tell you why and the error message and Google searches and Apple support/discussion forum details are sketchy… but in most cases its “illegal” punctuation in the song name, artist or album. I isolated at lest the apostrophe ‘ there are probably other illegal name punctuations too.
The cause my be explained by Apple following ISO or Joliet file name specifications or file name length specifications for CD or DVD discs. But since this appears to be undocumented (to the iTunes user) there is a need to understand the restrictions to allow error free disc burning.
THE CHALLENGE
Even if the playlist name does not have punctuation, if ANY playlist song name/artist/album does, the DVD burn will fail. Removing the offending songs from the playlists results in a successful burn but hey, I WANT those other songs too!
POSSIBLE WORK AROUNDS
Changing actual song file name – even if you change the name in iTunes (Get Info, Info, change name, artist, album) the actual song file names are not updated and continue to have the punctuation error resulting in a burn failure.
It appears that the actual file name needs to be changed. This can be a challenge. If you change only the file name you need to add modified file back into iTunes and the old file link is now broken. This is a bigger problem if that song file is in multiple playlists (the old ones are broken and the new one needs to be substituted). This is a REAL problem if you have 2,800 songs with an ‘ in them (like I do).
LETS WORK TOGETHER AND SHARE RESULTS
I’ve seen many, many unanswered questions about iTunes CD and DVD burning problems that will likely be solved if we can collectively develop and document a workaround. So, here is
THE QUESTION
What is the best way to rename (or retag) MP3 song files to eliminate punctuation and update iTunes and playlists so these songs can be burned to CD or DVD without violating the undocumented illegal punctuation restriction? The work around may differ for OS X vs Windows users so help on both would be appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for your help!
Windows XP Pro

been searching myself to create my own cdg for use in universal karaoke players. Kjams appears to offer the most hope for all I want to do. although there's something new now called Aria which promises to do a bunch of stuff for 79 $. Otherwise, all that I want to do as listed by the original poster, would cost me Kjams lite, plus the burn plug in is extra, plus I'd need the kjams producer as I would be building a cdg by adding the synced lyrics to something I've removed the vocal from, on Audacity program. if I go with Kjams, those 3 softwares, it will cost me 150, while I'm so jealous all those PC karaoke singers have free software for karaoke they can download.
I've been buying my cdg discs at 1.99 a pop, but they don't have special songs I want to perform. Aria for Mac might just do it all but I don't need the "scratch" sound they are pushing. that makes me steer away from the software.
experimenting with the Imac 10.6 idvd movie quicktime might work. I made a few cdg but have not tried them in the club karaoke machine yet. I added the lyrics to tuneprompter which is a free software that lets you add and sync the lyrics to the music with the spacebar. thats fun. but it's all in experimental thing so far. I know Kjams does not let you add lyrics and sync them yourself. you are supposed to import cdg to kjams that are already available and pay for them. in this case I want to find my own special tunes. good luck to you. there's one other thing but it's expensive. buying software which turns your mac into a windows platform by partiioning it and you start up in one or the other. that's also about 100-150 software.

DVD only works on TV.

I burned a DVD with iDVD. The DVD only works on TV but not on computer. Do you know why and how to make a DVD which works both on TV and computer?

Try making a disc image to the desktop if you haven't already. It will help us isolate the issue to your mac or the media you happened to choose. Test the image with apple's dvd player app. If it plays as expected, then use Verbatim or Maxell Dvd-R while burning at 4x or lower.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.
Good luck.

Best Export Settings for DVD burning and Computer viewing

Hello,
I am trying to export a 1 hour video that I need to be compatible with standard DVD players as well as viewable on any computer.
Original footage was shot with a Canon 5d Mark ii in 24fps.
I have done all of my editing in Premiere Pro CS6. From there, I exported a high quality file to bring into Media Encoder (for trials of best output). My master file from Premiere was exported with the Preset MPEG2. The only thing I changed in the preset was VBR from 1 pass to 2 pass.. This gave me a 6.2 GB file.
I then brought that file into Media Encoder where I have tried the following presets:
MPEG2-DVD - Match Source Attributes
MPEG2-DVD - NTSC 23.976fps Widescreen High Quality
MPEG2 - HDTV 720p 23.976 High Quality
MPEG2 - NTSC DV High Quality
These settings have encountered various issues.. some have significant banding, but most importantly, none of them will play on my DVD player when I burn them to a disc.
The discs I am using are Sony DVD-RW with a 4.7GB capacity.
Where am I going wrong here? From what I've read, the format needs to be MPEG2 to be viewed on DVD... Sorry if I sound ignorant! This stuff is tricky..

First off, don't export your timeline and then take the result to AME to re-encode, this is compressing your video twice and degrading quality (not to mention takes extra time and hard drive space). Always export direct from Premiere to Media Encoder. If you must use an "intermediate" file as part of your workflow, perhaps to archive a completed video that might later be exported to other formats, then use a lossless codec such as UT or Lagarith (free downloads).
For DVDs, you MUST use "MPEG-2 DVD". Other forms of MPEG-2 are not appropriate, as the official DVD specification requires that the MPEG-2 file has certain attributes. Not recommended to use "Match Source" for ANY export, just choose an appropriate setting as needed.
This should be correct for your application - MPEG-2 DVD > NTSC 23.976fps Widescreen High Quality
If you want to encode a DVD file over 1 hour in length, then you will need to adjust the encoding bitrate so the resulting file will fit the disc. Rule of thumb is 560/minutes = bitrate, but you might round down the result a bit to allow for menu overhead and such, depending.
Once you export the "MPEG-2 DVD" file, you can NOT simply burn that file to DVD media. That is only creating a DATA disc and it will not be playable in a DVD player (though a computer or PS3/PS4 may work since they can play most media files). To make a DVD that works in all DVD players (and meets the spec), it MUST be "authored" in a program like Adobe Encore. This compiles your content and menus and all that and then writes the result to the disc in certain way so that DVD players can read the disc. If you open any DVD on your computer, you will see a folder called "VIDEO_TS" and inside that there are .vob files and others. That is a proper DVD. And once you have a proper DVD, you can't simply copy the VIDEO_TS to another disc (as DATA), you must tell the burning software to create as a "VIDEO DVD" and not DATA, or it again won't be readable in a DVD player. Very picky spec, sorry.
When using AME to export MPEG-2 DVD, it will create two files, audio and video (.m2v and .wav), you will then Import both of those into Encore together. Note that you CAN import other formats into Encore, such as .avi but Encore will then transcode that to the correct MPEG-2 format anyway, so best that you take charge and create the right media in the first place in AME before you get to Encore.
EDIT: In AME, any time that your source is higher resolution than the destination, such as HD to DVD, you can check the "Max Render Quality" button in AME to provide the best downscale quality.
EDIT 2: I see you're using DVD-RW media. That is fine for experimenting, but for delivery to clients always use good quality DVD-R or DVD+R media. DVD-RW may not have the best compatibility with players and costs more anyways. DVDs are so cheap now that I just proof to DVD-R and toss the bad ones, up to you.
Thanks

Thinkpad X230 could not recognize external DVD burner

Hi, I received my Thinkpad X230 two weeks ago and was planning to make backup media. However, X230 could not recognize my external DVD burner. It was not responding no matter which USB port I tried. The DVD burner works fine with my T400 and X201. Just want to know how to get X230 to work with the DVD burner so that I can make factory backup media. Thanks a lot!

Hello,
Your external USB DVD±RW disc drive may require more power than can be provided via one USB port in order to burn DVDs. Did the drive come with a "double-headed" Y-shaped USB cable to connect to two USB ports on the notebook? If so, try plugging both of the large ends into the ThinkPad's USB ports and the small end into the external drive and then see if it is now recognized by the computer.
