CD BURN RATE SLOWWWW

Has anyone else had problems with their Burn speed decreasing lately? My CDs would usually burn within 2-3 minutes. Now they are taking 10 or so minutes. Anyone else having this annoying problem?

When I speak of Apple acting negligent, I am speaking in terms of their handling of their OWN product. They act like because iTunes is just a program, and that is not an actual product, they feel they don't have to really put forth effort into fixing my problem. I will have you know, if you are providing a service that allows you to buy music, your program BEST work to its fullest extent and not short change the user. This getting ridiculous.

  • Hello,  I am have problems with coruption of the photos in a slide show after burning the DVD in iDVD.  This coruption does not always appear when you preview the project.  I have slowed down the burn rate to 1X and kept the quality to professional.

    I am having a great deal of problems with Data coruption in slide shows after I have burned a DVD in iDVD.  I have changed burn rate from best to 1X with no difference in the coruption.  I have the quality set to professional with no improvement.  The size of the project is near 3.95, so it should fit on a single layer burn.  Should I use either iMovie to create the slide show or "Photo to Movie"?  Also, can anyone comment on how I preserve the highest quality picture resolution with a slide show?  If I do use iMovie or Photo to Movie,  the file size should exceed the 4.2 size so, will I have to buy new DVD's which are capable to handle the double layer burn and upto 8 GB?  What DVD's are recommended?  Any preferred brand?  Are there problems with burning with double layer?  I read on this blog of numerous problems.

    DVDs are LOW resolution by today's standards - only about 0.3 megapixels - so there is no way they your images on a TV set will look "High Definition".  See Preparing images for iDVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html for recommendations on image sizes to use.  Using larger images won't give you better  quality, andf in some cases, will lower you image quality because  the Quicktime resizing that occurs isn't the best.

  • How do you set the burn rate?

    I have been told that best results are attained when DVDs are burned at a slow rate, such as 4X. I have no idea of the rate of my burns, and I 'm wondering how I can set the rate at 4X. Is the burn rate manipulated thru DVD Studio Pro, or is it simply determined by the balnk media you insert? For example: does an 8X disc automatically burn at 8X, and a 4X disc automatically burn at 4X?
    Thanks, Bob

    The burn rate cannot be higher than what the drive is rated for, or the speed the disc is rated for, whichever is lower. So if you have a 2x burner (most likely considering the age of your computer), then that is the maximum speed you can burn at regardless of the speed of the disc media (which could be 16x).
    Toast is software. So you would not use it "instead of" your Pioneer burner. You would use it with your Pioneer burner.

  • DVD share fails with error message suggesting slower burn rate.

    Can't figure out how to change the burn rate to a slower speed. Anyone know? It also suggests changing DVD brands but Verbatims are good and I doubt that's the real problem.  (Mac OS 10.9.1--it's not updating down below.)

    Another option you might consider is creating a disk image (output device = hard drive) and burn the disk in Disk Utility. You should be able to choose a burn rate there.

  • Disk Utility: Different burn rates when burning DVDs

    Hi Folks,
    When I burn DVDs from a disk-image using Disk Utility it displays a message showing the maximum burn rate.
    Using the same image, same machine and same batch of DVDs the message displayed varies from a 2x to 8x burn rate.
    Any idea why ? Is it the burner, the utility, the DVD ... ???
    Thanks in advance
    Pat De Marco

    Hi Pat,
    Are you perhaps speaking of the variance over the breadth of a a single disc?
    They burn slower on the inner tracks than the outer tracks due to higher surface speed on the outer tracks at the same RPM.
    Burners are also made to adjust burning speed to match the capability of the Media... no two are identical, though higher end ones will be closer to each other.

  • NEED HELP - how do i lower the burn rate to 1x in DVD Studio Pro 4

    Ok, i made a (2) master copies of a DVD-R (Verbatim) in Studio Pro 4 and sent it to a duplicator and I got a call saying there was unreadable data on the discs.
    He then asked me to lower the burn rate to 1x. I can't figure out how to do that. Where do I do that? Please help. Have a deadline!!!
    Thanks.

    Dave
    You cannot change the burning speed in DVDSP. It will always use the max speed available. To control the burning speed you need to create a disc image of your project and burn it with Disk Utility or Toast.
    Read this tutorial about * Creating Disc Image in DVDSP *.
    Hope that helps !

  • DVD burn rate

    It seems that the chatter has died off concerning dvd burn speeds lower than the advertised 8x. Here's my attempt at resurrecting it.
    My DVD burner is a Matshita DVD-R UJ-846 (hires 15" PB) and I've used it with several types of media (Maxell DVD-R, Sony DVD+R and a noname brand DVD-R) and the maximum burn speed is 2x. Anyone else running into this problem?

    Same drive - same PB: Verbatim -R 16x will burn at nominal 8x while TDK/Verbatim -R 8x will burn at nominal 2x only.
    The drive seem to be a little bit picky.
    Regarding nominal 8x:
    Due to technical limitations of slot in drives only 50% will be written all full 8x speed - the other 50% of the disk only at approx 4x - resulting in a over-all 5.6x -6.0x

  • The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4450)

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 7.5, I can no longer burn CDs using this or any other burn app. It progresses 25-40% and then returns a 4450 error. I have tried slowing the burn rate down and the error still comes into play after a couple of songs. The diagnotics from Apple and Dell state the drive is working fine.

    I get the same message but the number is 4000. Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7.5 I have been unable to burn CDs. Do you have a solution yet?

  • DVD Burn Errors

    I have an older PB15 with a UJ-816 burner, 2x max read and write. In the last 2 years, I've burned about 500 disks with variable results.
    Most of them have been TDK. These usually work fine except that on some spindles I get errors and have to burn at 1X.
    Apple disks always work fine.
    I bought some Memorex 8X disks at Frys ($10/25 disks) and these have been giving me fits.

    I can't remember seeing this collection of errors on other media. What is even odder is that these won't work at 1X at all, I have to try at 2X to get any good results at all. Perhaps 1/3 of the burns fail even at 2X. The last 4 burns in a row have failed.
    I've gone through a bunch of the really cheap Fry's "Great Quality" media with no errors at all.
    Is Memorex known to be a bad brand?
    - gws

    I have heard that 2x speed is somewhat "problematic" than other burn rates... and that you have to buy a media that specificaly mentions burning at 2x (I think in reality it's like 2.4x? and that causes some weirdness), or else sometimes it will not work.
    I read this somewhere. can't rememebr where. Try buying media where the label specifically mentions 2x and see if that helps (usually you'll have to find a media that is rated slower, which is getting harder to find..)
    I use memorex a lot, and it's pretty reliable, at least on my drive, but that doesn't mean much since DVD-RWs are so finicky. (as good as other media I've used. TDK, Fuji, maxell, memorex). the only coasters I've made form memorex are user-induced. I've heard Apple uses Maxell.. you might want to look at their stuff. don't use GQ. I made more coasters using that brand than all others combined.

  • MEDIUM ERROR Burning a DVD-R

    Hi, I'm trying to burn a DVD for several times with Roxio Toast Titanium 6.
    I used to do it like this always but now it seems impossible.
    I'm trying to record a DATA DVD and this is the error I get:
    The drive reported and error:
    Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
    Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03
    My DVD´s are DVD-R 4.7gb.
    The recorder is a Matshita DVD-R UJ-816.
    Can you help me find the problem for this?

    First welcome to the discussions.
    With your drive and optical burner it will only qaccept DVD-R Media. There is such a wide range of problems with cheaper Media I suggest you find Maxell 8X DVD-R media it comes in a pack of 3 Read the back panel on it and if it says it burns at 1X 2X 4X 8X then you have the right one.
    I have had 100% burn rate with this media in my Computer with the same drive. There seems to be a big difference in the different types and manufactures of media.
    Cheers Don

  • CD Burn Error 4261

    I bought a new computer, now I can't burn CDs. When I had this problem before, I fixed it by slowing the burn rate. That hasn't worked this time. The disk starts to burn, then after about 30 seconds I see, "Cancelling disk burn...this may take a minute or two" followed by "The attempt to burn a disk failed. An unknown error occurred (4261). How can I fix this?

  • Trouble burning Sony dvd-r discs

    I am not able to burn video to Sony brand DVD-r discs and I am able to burn to memorex discs of same type, if I slow down the burn rate from 8x to 3x.  Any way I can use the Sony Discs?  Thanks.

    Hi! Sense You have not posted your model number found on the bottom of your laptop; there's no way for us to know what OS you have or any thing else. How many different Sony DVD's have you tried to burn video?? If you have W7, there are trouble shooting features in the Action Center, which can be accessed from search.
    I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.

  • DVD Burner problem with P965 Platinum

    I have had on going issue with my DVD burner. When i try to play or esp burn a DVD the whole PC slows down and i am unable to open or run any other applications.  The Burner is connected via IDE cable and i have tried 2 other DVD Burners with all the same result.  When i play a DVD the picture jitters and when i burn a DVD the burn rate is about 10 x slower than my other PC.  It comes across as if there is a data transfer problem, not sure though.
    Could this be a bios issue or maybe a faulty IDE port on the MOB ???
    My system
    MSI P965 Platinum
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
    2 x 1GB DDR2 800mhz RAM
    Leadtek 8800GTS 640mb G/C
    W.D SATA II 320GB HDD
    ASUS DRW-1612BL DVD Burner

    I would also like to add that, this fix has also fixed my Lan input port.  I built this PC about 3 weeks ago and from day one the Lan connection would come up with that "Limited or no connectivity" issue.  So I thought it was a faulty Lan port so I went and bought a PCI Lan card to fix that issue.
    But as soon as i applied this fix, I noticed the network connection popped up so I tried it out and the damn thing now works.
    Extremely Happy 
    cheers

  • IDVD burned discs won't play on any dvd player

    When I burn a dvd using Idvd they will not play on standard dvd players.
    Is this a problem with anyone else?
    I noticed it was a problem in the early 2000-2003 but apparently something got fixed, because I couldn't find an incident where this problem continued to occur.
    I am new to the Mac world and I don't always understand the acronymns used when I read responses.  However, here is my problem.
    Burning dvd's using Idvd:
    1.  the burn seems to run and function normally
    2. when I insert the burned dvd into a dvd player one of the following things occur:
         a) loading takes a very long time, then I get a message saying "wrong disc"
          b) loading occurs fast, reads the file as a dvd, the dvd begins playing the music and showing the main menu screen, after accessing a menu option the dvd begins to play the slideshow with the music then after a minute or two, it freezes, and is no longer readable when attempting to reload it, the message is "wrong disc"
    3.  I've tried using dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd+r dual layer, and changing the burn speed to 8x, then to 4x and then to 2x.  Nothing seems to matter.
    4.  I have noticed that in Idvd the dvd type is for an older version of dvd's such as single layer 4.2 gb and double layer 7.7 gb. I'm wondering whether the Idvd software on my MacMini is up to date, even though when I check for updates under the apple it comes back saying my system is up to date.
    I'm using a MacMini running Mac OSX v 10.6.8 with processor 2.26ghz, Intel core 2 duo, memory 2gb 1067 mhz ddr3, and my dvd drive is a pioneer dvd-rw dvrts08, firmware q81f.
    I really need help to fix the problem with the IDVD software or to know that I need to purchase another DVD maker software for my Mac.  The product below says my Mac is running OS X v 10.7.2 but it isn't it is running v 10.6.8 as I stated.
    URGENT!!!!

    My macmini is under 2 years old.  I reviewed your list of affects and I am going down the list to determine possible cause and effect.
    I did try the PRAM process.  The DVD still won't play on my DVD player but it did play on my son's Sony blue ray.  I burned it at 2x burn rate after the PRAM process completed. 
    I can assume that's progress.  The audio did however skip a couple of times while playing.  That is new.
    I will continue down the list using different type of blank dvd's etc. 
    Question: As I was reading through some other issues I'm learning that Mac/Apple is discontinuing IDVD, is that correct?
    Are you aware of some other software to purchase that will create dvd's on the mac?  If so, I may as well go that route rather than wasting more time using a defunct product.  What is your opinion?

  • Can't burn a DVD using IDVD nor Disk Utility- first time user-what is wrong

    The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)
    May 13, 2007 8:05pm PDT
    IDVD Version 6.0.3
    Emac- OS 10.3.9--- in the owner's manual it DOES state my emac can burn DVDs. Is this correct?
    I keep getting this error message after about 20 minutes of programming the DVD-- then it ejects with this message:
    "The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)"
    When using the IDVD application to burn my slideshow onto a DVD; Then I contacted Apple Care and I was told to use Disk Utility to burn my DVD in lieu of IDVD not working.
    I converted my slideshow into a .dmg format; all was verified successfully. Then I receive this error message when attempting to BURN DVD:
    "STOP The device drained its buffer without burn under run protection"
    I made a WONDERFUl slideshow-- of only 17 slides-- confirmed I have plenty of room on hard drive and et al on the "disk information". I have attempted since May 7th to get this DVD to burn my slideshow. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have deadlines-- now it is for Tuesday May 15th. Please alert me to an alternative until I can get my Emac working properly on what I can do to make copies of my slideshow ASAP. Thank you.
    Now I looked thru your ERROR message archives and found NONE to match mine. What do these error messages mean-- is my Emac not working? This is first time ever I tried to use IDVD and IMovie and Disk Utility--- so the first impression is VERY VERY VERY bad for Apple's "easy to use for first time customers"....

    Well I had to make the copies for my presentation-- so the cheapest I could find in my area was Walgreens-- 39.99 for ONE COPY of a DVD! So I paid $70.00 and the clerk made 4 copies for me;-) So thanks Walgreens!
    Now-- my Mac-- I could not find anything on shelves at Walgreens or Office Depot but the FujiFilm I already have... So I now have time to look elsewhere.
    I did PRAM my Emac 3 times-- I tried these things also:
    1)Saved the IDVD- .dmg format to QuickTime .mov
    I uploaded to google video.com or whatever-- they use their own software-- .gvp file and player. All was successful (even now on YouTube-
    2) I then made another version in PowerPoint and saved it as an MPEG
    Also for below-- I lowered the burn rate upon the 2nd try to 1x-- took one hour or more (I went to get a root canal... then exfoliate... then I came back;-)
    Also tried different .mov from the web-- a great whale shark video that was only 49mb. My presentation is 120 mb. So I was just thinking-- make it smaller; burn slower.
    3)I did try to burn from IDVD, Disk Utility and then the drag and burn/click method on the desktop-- put a blank DVD in-- drag the .mov icon to the blank DVD -- write a title for the blank DVD- formats it / Drag to trash-- Burn icon comes up/ Clicked it-- waited 20 minutes and received:
    "Error: Error occurred while burning the disc. This disc can not be used."
    So I put in another blank Fuji DVD-- just in case. Same error message-- so I am hoping it is the DVD itself and not the SuperDrive.
    4)Also-- I tried to do audio CD burn-- just to make sure about the drive-- all was successful and I did a back up of my Itunes files-- 6 CDs they burned (they meaning "the Gods of Mac OS" ;-0 My audio CDs are Office Depot CD-R 52X700mb/ So the generic is better for CDs on my Emac that I know;-)
    So I will use my weekend to try other DVDs-- and I have the safety net of Apple Care-- but then just realized-- my Extended Care plan is OVER at May 30, 2007!!! I called to ask to EXTEND it further-- I'll pay whatever-- NOPE-- 3 years was max on this contract. So any repairs I have to pay for after May 30th-- ISN'T THAT JUST THE WAY THE WORLD GOES? The DAY after your warranty on AnYTHING-- the thing goes kablooey?
    But I still have days left--- and I know of a good Mac Repair person in area-- but it is just so darn difficult to move my desktop Emac (I got the GLASS monitor to save $300 or something) Weight Lifting is what it is-- weighs about 45lbs or more.
    But it seems it may be the media I am using if the CD burner is working, right?
    I can update-- if you want me to email direct-- just give me a note (my email is listed). Thanks all!!! I just want to impress everyone of how tenacious I am to find that my Emac is FINE-- it is just ME that is warped;-)
