Device Error - Sense Code

I have tried to burn a DVD using Premier 2.0. Once I got a message - Device Error - Sense Code (04 91 C0) the second time I got the same message but a different Code - (04 92 05). A Third time I got an "Unknown Error" message.
After the first error, I saved it as an AVI, imported it into a new project, fixed the tail end - which had black frames on it, and am burning from that project.
I have saved the file to a folder and tried to copy it using Magic DVD Writer, and get an error message there, too.
When I play the DVD using Nero, it looks fine.
I am using an AOpen writer. Do you suppose it is the burner - or something else?
The thing is that 2 weeks ago, I burned one and it flew through. Prior to that I couldn't get 2 others to burn, and I ended up saving them to folders on an external hard drive and taking them to someone else to burn the master DVDs. The final movies are great!
Thanks,
Penny

Penny,
Usually "Sense Code" errors reflect a problem with the burner and the process.
This can be:
1.) burner is bad or improperly connected
2.) burner is "in use" by another application, like a packet-writing module from Nero or Roxio, or even the OS itself
3.) media is not the correct type, has been used or is bad
Let's check these in order.
1.) does this burner function properly in any other application? If so, we can *probably* eliminate #1
2.) do you have Nero, Roxio or does your OS have a packet-writing (drag-n-drop) application? If so, this is *probably* the cause. If not go down to the next level. Adobe authoring apps need 100% control of the burner. If you must keep the packet-writing app, then look into the free ImgBurn program to actually do your burns.
3.) what brand of media are you using and what type is it? Have you used this brand and type before? If so, could this particular disc have already been written to, even if it was an aborted burn? I use Taiyo Yuden, or Verbatim blank DVDs, and none has ever failed to burn, or to play in a client's player. Note: some brands, like Memorex might actually contain several different producer's media, marked with their name - part of a spindle can be perfect and the rest bad. Ritek used to have a good rep, but lately they have been causing as many problems as Memorex and "bargain brands." Always use the best media you can possibly afford, and burn at the slowest speed, if your burning app allows you to reduce the burn speed.
Chances are that the cause is one of the above. If you go though all three of these and are still having problems, let us know the answers to the questions posed in the solutions area.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Device Error - Sense Code(5 26 00)??

    Hi everyone..
    Another problem with PrE8.01.  I am arriving at this error code: "Device Error - Sense Code (5 26 00) - Invalid Field in Parameter List - General" after the encoding and compiling media stage of burning to disk.  I have a pioneer dvd/bluray burner (new) that has been working before (not with PrE8).  Any suggestion please?
    Ben

    I've asked some questions and made some recommendations in your other thread so I won't repeat them here.
    For your burning problem:
    Check for a firmware update for your drive. As you described the machine as new it could well be out of date.
    What brand of media are you trying to burn to?
    For a DVD use the 'Burn to Folder' option. Does this complete?
    Play the video (from step 3) in a software DVD player (VLC is good and free if you don't have one). Does this play OK?
    Burn the folder to a DVD using a stand-a-lone burning tool (ImgBurn is good and free if you don't have one). Make sure you burn no higher than x4 speed. Does the burn complete? Does it play on a DVD player connected to a TV?
    Post back with your answers please.
    Cheers,

  • Error Message "Device Error - Sense Code (6 28 00)"

    Trying to burn a project made up of MP4 video files (about 2 1/2 hrs in length) and when it reaches about 97%, I receive this message "Device Error - Sense Code (6 28 00) - Not ready to ready change, Medium" and then Premiere elements 9 procedes to burn a perfect DVD with menus and all.  Any ideas?

    SenseCode errors are most often caused by hardware issues with a multi-drive (burner), and can be from perhaps old firmware in the multi-drive, or connection issues on the system, between the multi-drive and the OS. I would first check for firmware updates from the multi-drive's mfgr's. Web site. Be sure to read the instructions for "flashing" the ROM with firmware updates - VERY IMPORTANT - follow those instructions to the letter!
    They can also be caused by blank media issues, such as bad blank media, non-RW media, that has been used already, or RW media, that was not erased.
    What brand, and type of blank media are you using?
    Good luck,

  • Device Error - Sense Code(3 73 04) with PE4

    Until yesterday, I had been creating DVDs from my camcorder without issue. Now, PE4 gets through 99% of the burning process before the disk ejects with the above error message.
    It seems the content makes it onto the disk, but the data can not be read by a DVD player. I'm not sure if the error is pointing to the drive, the disk or something else. My system specs are:
    -- Preimiere Elements 4 (it was a combo pack with Photoshop 6)
    -- Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 1)
    -- HP m8330f
    -- AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core Processor 2.2 GHz
    -- 3.0 GB RAM
    -- TSST corp CDDVDW TS-H653N SCSI CdRom Device
    I wouldn't think this issue is because of a system limitation or bad equipment. The only think I did between my last succsessful burn and now was installing Photoshop 6.
    Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Howlbait,
    Good with the test! This shows that PE can do a Burn, just not to the burner. It also shows that the burner is capable and works, though could still be on the edge of failing.
    This points me toward something else getting in the way of your Burn to DVD from PE.
    Adobe's programs, that Burn directly to DVD (Elements, PP up to versions 2 and Encore), need 100% control of the physical burner. Programs like Nero and Roxio will install "packet-writing" sub-applications (InCD and DLA, in those above cases), if one does not do a custom install. These sub-apps will seize control of the burner(s) and NOT turn them loose for Adobe.
    If you have either of these programs, chances are good that their packet-writing sub-app is installed, and keeping Adobe from seeing the burner. This most often manifests itself with a "Burner Not Found" error message. That's the reason that others (and I) mentioned problems with the media, or with the physical burner, or its connection. You got the "SenseCode" error, not the "Burner Not Found." Because of this, your case is unusual.
    I'd next to to Control Panel>System>Device Manager and scroll down to CD/DVD drives. Check out your drive there, and see what Windows says about your burner. Write down the version of firmware that it has installed. If all of this is good there, I'd see if there was a firmware update for the burner.
    Often, when an OS updates, whether automatically or via user instructions, the updated OS reveals problems with burner firmware - same for audio drivers. What this means is that one day, a burner will work perfectly. Then, the OS updates and you get problems. First, check your burner mfgr's Web site for the current firmware version. Device Manager should tell you the firmware you currently have.
    If this does not help, someone else will have to chime in, as I will have emptied my bag-o-tricks.
    Good luck,

  • Device error - sense code (3 0c 00) - white error - white

    I have been getting this error frequently lately. I thought it was the new batch of Taiyen DVDs but not sure. The failure came at the last portion of the burning. It is frustrating because it takes so long to burn and then only to see this error towards the end. I am still using Premiere 2. I tried hooking up an extenal dvd burner to my computer but Premiere does not seem to recognise it. Where do I change the burn drive in Premiere ? and how can I fix this burn error ?
    any help is appreciated.

    cheong yoke keen,
    SenseCode errors are most often a signal that there is something amiss with either the hardware (burner), or with the media being used.
    What media are you attempting to burn to?
    Using Steve's suggestion, you might want to explore using the freeware program ImgBurn to actually burn from your folder to DVD. See if this yields the same, or similar error.
    A tip: I use DVD RW's to test burns (not as a delivery medium), as this will keep the number of "coasters" down. One five pack of these will give you years of testing.
    Also, use a top line of media only. Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim and Falcon (US only) are probably the best. Avoid Memorex (like the plague) and most "store brands." TDK used to have a good rep., but it seems that they have taken to rebranding a bunch of other mfgr's disks with their logo, like Memorex. Reports from both suppliers indicate that out of 100 in a bundle there may be actual products from 5 different companies!
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Can't burn - Help - Error Sense Code (52100)

    I have Adobe Encore DVD 1.5 which was purchased in a package called the Adobe Video Collection Professional. I want to start off by saying that I am new to the forum situation and also do not understand very much computer jargon. My operating system is Windows XP and I have a custom computer with 2 GB of RAM. I had a new DVD burner put in my computer after it was determined that the old burner was not compatible with my custom computer. The new burner is a Samsung Super-Writemaster 18x lightscribe DVD Writer and works with everything else in my computer except Adobe. I contacted Adobe about this problem and they said that there was a bug in the Adobe software package that I have, but our package is no longer under warranty. Is there something that we can acquire or do short of buying more software from Adobe to fix this problem. I have been able to burn some DVDs here and there, but normally I get coasters and it comes up with this error message - Device Error-Sense Code (5 21 00)-Logical Block Address/Out of Range-Read (DVD Error 336128). Please help.

    Sense code errors are almost always caused by some piece of software interfering in the communication problem between Encore and the burner.
    Please have a look at
    b Things and Software to avoid when authoring for DVD-V
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbe7ec0
    A quick fix is to let Encore write a

    This is an error reported by the optical drive's firmware. The tracking servo is the servomechanism which guides the laser pickup along the track on the optical disc. The error means that the servo couldn't do its job within the programmed parameters. What it doesn't say is why.
    You have to be very precise as to when this error occurs. If it occurs as you wrote, while it "starts preparing to write the disc", and not when it has actually began to burn, then it's likely that the drive has gone bad and needs to be replaced.
    There are other possibilities, so you should check them, but they would be more likely if the error occurred after the drive began to write. OrangeMarlin has suggested two options -- try a different brand of CD or DVD, and try cleaning the lens.

  • 2008 Mac Pro burner failure - report "Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR - Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03"

    Problem just arose - burners working days ago - NO major changes in Mac Pro --- Attempting to burn some DVDs (data only), using the latest version of Toast v12.0 & Dragon Burn, as soon as I tell either my internal or external unit to burn, it runs a few minutes then pops up dialog box - "Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR - Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03". Blanks are new Memorex. I've restarted Mac Pro multiple times, still no burning possible. In dire need to restore capability. Most gracious thanks for ANY immediate assistance.

    There are several different incompatible media sold as writeable CDs. You MUST match the media to the abilities of your drive.
    I was flummoxed by buying 8x media when my drive was a 2x drive. I needed the other type, and there was nothing helpful in the diagnostics or the packaging that helped me understand that.
    EDIT: There is an interesting helpful feature buried in System Profiler ... (read the last two lines of the report):

    Bill,
    Something you could try to see whether or not your burner will work with your discs:
    Let Encore write a
    disc image file. Then use
    ImgBurn
    to burn a DVD from the image file.

    Then you may have a mechanical problem with your SuperDrive. As I see it, you have only one option: take the unit to your local Apple Store/AASP and get them to diagnose the problem and get an estimate for repair. If the estimate seems to high (and you're out of warranty) you can get a new internal SuperDrive from OWC and install it yourself.
    The diagnosis and estimate should be free.
