Disk utility burning issue

I'm trying to burn some DVD/DVD DL from disk images.....
I never got a success with *disk utility*..
after burning one with *disk utility*, checking disk always fails: an error on a sector (never the same)
in the other side, burning same image with toast works fine....
this doesn't come from the disk because first I burned with disk utility and then with toast (disks come from same cake)

one thing has been improved: restoring an image to a pen drive or HD, now it works at first time.. ( with increased speed).
no matter the burning speed I select, ever with lowliest selected, burning always fails...

  • Disk Utility burning issue - DVD icon not removed

    Hi,
    I just burned a bunch of disk images to DVD. After the first one was done burning, the DVD ejected automatically. But the image of the DVD on the desktop was not ejected. When I had inserted the a new DVD a second DVD icon appeard on the desktop. I tried naming this one the same title, but that was not allowed by Finder. So I clicked on the first DVD icon and command+e'd it. The new DVD and the DVD icon were ejected, but the new DVD's image stayed on the desktop. When I command+e'd the new DVD icon, the DVD drive made an ejecting noise and the icon disappeared.
    Is this how this is supposed to work? I assume the burned DVD icons are supposed to eject when the DVD ejects initially.

  • Disk Utility: Burn error: 0x80020022 The device failed to respond...

    I've been working on archiving a ton of video to DVD. I'm using Dual-Layer discs to minimize the amount of physical storage space needed for the finished project. I burned several discs in iDVD in July and regularly received errors. Then the drive suddenly stopped loading any type of media. Anything I inserted would spin briefly and then eject. Repaired permissions and followed steps outlined here and here. Took the Mac back to the store where I bought it (sadly, not an Apple Store - nearest one is 12 hrs away) where naturally it performed flawlessly for the store rep.
    So I took it home and resumed burning, now saving as a disc image (ignoring iDVD's warning about the performance of DVDs burned this way) and using Disk Utility, since iDVD didn't seem to be reliable. Burned about 25 discs, error-free, in this fashion, then three days ago, got the error: "Unable to burn “Disc 19.img”. (The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.)"
    Retried the same image, and it worked. Then burned two more in the same fashion with no errors. Today I got the same error again. Logs are identical for each failed burn, except for the time span between certain lines.
    Price of DL media being what it is, I'd hate to keep ruining discs if there's something I can do to avoid it. I suppose it could be bad media, but it seems odd that I'd get two bum discs that close together after burning so many without issue. Checked the site and the forums, and there doesn't seem to be any answers. Does anyone have any ideas? (Other than "try a different brand of media." I've got a buttload of these discs and it's too late to return them now.) Even if it just helps determine where the issue lies. Warranty will be up soon, so if it's hardware related, I need to get it taken care of quick.

    I have encountered the same problem. I have a Mac Book Pro from 2007, and it has gone through 3 DVD writers so far, all of which have ruined DVD+R DL disks. I have occasionally been able to burn one, but usually during verify, I get this error message:
    Communication to the disk drive failed: 0x8002022
    And disk utility fails with a "Invalid B-tree node size" error
    Oddly, when I try to burn a disk near capacity (6.5Gb or more) it is more likely to fail than if I burn a smaller disk.
    I've been using Memorex DVD+R DL disks, but I have used other brands in the past but they have failed, too. Out of about 50 disks so far, I have had success with about 5.

  • Will Disk Utility Burn a DL Disk Image to DVD?

    Will Disk Utility burn a DL Disk Image created by iDVD to a DL DVD? I'd like to save myself the rendering time to find out that it won't, if that is the case.

    JCC,
    The last I knew there could be a problem with setting the proper break point when creating/working from the disk image of a double layer disc, but I may have missed something recent.

  • Disk Utility - Burning DVD from desktop file created from camcorder

    I am unable to burn a DVD from a file on my desktop. When trying to use the upper tray, the disk drive won't remain closed and I am unable to proceed.
    When using the lower tray, it begins the burn process, then returns this message:
    Unable to burn file. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.
    The upper tray is a HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4480B
    The lower tray is a Sony DVD RW DRU-530A.

    Thanks for answering ALL the questions, too many times I ask as many questions as possible to get as much info as possible and I get a one line response.
    4GB file with Disk Utility should be fine.
    4x speed should be fine too, but you may want to try 2x, just in case the ATA-33 bus is struggling. The ATA-33 bus is the original bus in the MDD for the optical drives, the hard disks were on an ATA-66 and ATA-100 bus. Unfortunately ATA-33 is very limited in the amount of data it can reliably send in a given time, and 4x DVD burning is the absolute limit.
    Sony DVD-R should be fine, many here are wary of Memorex media, I use it for temporary copies of product / games discs, but never for backups.
    How is the external DVD burner attached ? FireWire ?
    It really should be working, you've already confirmed that both the drives successfully burn CDs, so we know they're recognised and operating. And you've said the 4GB camcorder file is on your desktop, ie. on the internal hard disk, so we know it's not a speed issue with the source file, like if it was on a flash drive - or is it ? Or is it still on the camcorder ? If so get it copied to the internal hard disk.
    Can you confirm the ATA-33 bus and Disc Utility support for the drive by using Apple System Profiler, if you select ATA, it should appear on the ATA-3 bus. You'll also have an ATA-4 and ATA-6 bus.
    If you click on "ATA-3 bus" you should find an entry "Disc Burning" and it should say "Apple Supported" or similar. If it doesn't then I don't think you can burn with Disk Utility. Generally, above OSX 10.4.6 (or 10.4.5, can't remember exact) all these drives are supported, for burning and booting from. I suspect you're fine as you've said you burn CDs with it fine.
    One thing some people do is to buy an ATA-133 PCI card, and run the internal hard disks off that and the ATA-100 on the motherboard. Then use the motherboard ATA-66 slot to drive the optical drives. Don't spend any money yet, we'd have to confirm that the burn speed is the issue. Like said, try burning at 2x or 1x.
    Apologies now if my Apple System Profiler instructions are not 100% accurate, my OSX 10.5.5 Mac is unavailable just now so I've based my instructions on OSX 10.3.9 ASP.

  • Disk Utility Burning CDs and DVDs Windows Compatibility

    I don't burn many CDs or DVDs. However, a friend of mine recently switched to Apple, and he burns quite a few movies and CDs. He asked me how to copy DVDs, burn Audio CDs, and save files to CDs and DVDs. The only thing I knew how to do was to burn files to CDs. I know that CDs that are burned in the Finder will work on Mac OS and Windows. My question is about Disk Utility. I've read that Disk Utility does not create Windows compatible disks, however Apple's instructions for making a copy of a movie DVD are to use Disk Utility and create a CD/DVD master image to burn to a DVD. Disk Utility uses the .cdr format, which supposedly does not work with Windows. So, if I wanted to copy a Windows application CD, could disk utility make an exact copy of it or not? It seems to me that it should since I am making an exact copy using CD/DVD master, but will it do it or not? Also, if I made a copy of a Movie DVD using CD/DVD master (.cdr) will it only play on Macs or will it play on Windows also? When it comes to Audio CDs, I realize one must use iTunes to make Audio CDs. I have searched all over the internet for answers to these questions and most people say use Roxio Toast or they just don't answer these questions very clearly.

    If you have two optical drives connected to your computer, you can just clone the disc. However, I'd recommend Roxio Toast, as others have, because it'll handle all the compatibility issues for you. Dealing with Finder and Disk Utility guarantees compatibility with macs, but not necessarily Windows, or even standard DVD/CD players depending on how you burn it.
    If you have audio files, use iTunes to burn an audio CD. If you have movie files, use iDVD or Toast to burn a standard DVD (not a data disc).

  • Disk Utility RAID Issue

    I'm trying to determine if the problems that I'm encountering are a software issue or a hardware issue.
    I'm setting up a Mac Pro with Leopard and have four Maxtor 6G160E0 160GB hard drives that I'm trying to set up as two Mirrored drive sets. Everything seemed to go fine, created the two mirror sets, installed Leopard, configured and tested two user accounts and Office 2004, then updated everything to the latest version. When done I shut it down planning on moving it to it's final home tonight.
    But, when I turned it on both mirror sets were degraded - all four drives were still recognized as RAID slices but came up as failed in the RAID tab. I saw no errors reported in the log so I assumed that those two drives were faulty. I shut down, moved the good drives to bays 1 & 2 and rebooted.
    First reboot gave me a prohibition symbol instead of the usual Apple. Powered down and on and it booted fine but the second drive came up as a failed RAID slice. Rebooted again and both were fine.
    I reinstalled the two "failed" drives and reformatted them - both reformatted fine and mounted without problems. I unmounted the new partition just in case, but, when I tried to rebuild the RAIDs I get the following in the error log:

    I'm at a loss at the moment. I am leaning towards bad drives, but FOUR bad drives all at once is suspicious.
    I've searched for similar issues and found none so I thought I'd check here and see if anyone had any ideas.

    G'day Zeekm,
    Thank you for that. I did this and it seems to work. The Disk Utility GUI does not seem to work.
    Hope this helps some one,

  • Disk Utility Partition Issue- 1Tb Seagate External

    Hi All-
    I recently received a 1Tb Seagate external hard drive connecting via a Firewire 400 cable. Problem is, it won't let me reformat the thing as a single, continuous partition map. 2 is a problem as well: it only lets me format it if one side of the partition is MS-DOS and the other is OSX Journaled. if both as OSX, then Disk Utility once again fails to partition the drive. Is there some lurking cap on hard drive capacity that the MBP can understand?
    Thanks.

    I bought recently the Seagate FreeAgent Desk 500 Gb drive (the USB only Windows preformatted model since this one was 150$ cheaper than the made-for-Mac model with FW ports). I had the same problem as you ("one side of the partition is MS-DOS and the other is OSX Journaled"). My friend on an iBook G3 PPC running Panther bought the same model and didn't experience such problems (and was able to upgrade easily from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11 after her initial system backup).
    However, I was able to reformat my Seagate drive with Disk Utility and use Time Machine afterwards to backup my entire MacBook Pro but since Disk Utility was showing MS-DOS (FAT) as a volume format for the main external drive, I was worried about future backup problems.
    Then I read this recent news on MacFixIt ( http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20090111225651243 ) about this particular issue since the 10.5.6 update and possibly 10.5.5. I followed the instructions (as explained originally in this thread ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8700407& ) and reformatted my USB external drive and everything went smoothly and as it should be. The GUID option did it for me.
    Hope it does it for you.

  • Can Disk Utility burn a Blu-ray ISO file?

    This is a simple question to pose: assuming only the best of media and burner hardware (so that problems with those don't come into play), can Disk Utility reliably burn ISO images that represent a Blu-ray disk, complete with chapters and whatever else is contained on a Blu-ray disk?
    Background
    I'll be using Adobe Premiere to generate videos for burning to Blu-ray disk. There seems to be several ways for me to do that, and most of them seem to have problems:
    1. From the completed Premiere project, I can jump into Adobe Encore and burn from there. But… many comments on the Adobe forum suggest that route may be problematic. No burn-speed control for instance. The Encore forum is full of people who don't use Encore's burning abilities, but instead use Toast or the PC equivalent.
    2. Use Toast. I've just received a special offer form Other World Computing to buy Toast 11 Pro for $49. But… I've been put off buying Toast because of many poor reviews on Amazon. A handful of poor reviews I could ignore, but there are dozens.
    3. Use Encore to generate an ISO image of my completed Blu-ray, then use Disk Utility to burn that ISO. But… there are websites in the internet jungle telling me I need to download their product to be able to burn Blu-ray ISO images on a Mac. On the other hand, there are reputable websites (here and here) that explain how to use Disk Utility to burn Blu-ray ISOs.
    Basically, I'm confused. It seems to me that Encore > ISO > Disk Utility is the way to go, but I would like confirmation from Apple users that this route will work and is reliable. If not, maybe I should be buying Toast before the special runs out on 30 April.

    First, I duplicated one of the links in my original post. The correct links are (1) and (2).
    Thanks for the replies, but they haven't cleared up my confusion.
    On the last page of the first link, lifted from the California Institute of the Arts website, clear instructions are given for using Disk Utility to burn a Blu-ray ISO.
    Right at the bottom of the second link, lifted from the Drexel University website, similar instructions are given for using Disk Utility to burn a Blu-ray ISO.
    Are both instructions incorrect in their basic assumption? When their students go to video lab to burn a Blu-ray, do the students find it can't be done?
    This is really confusing. Toast gets very poor reviews, yet I've never had a problem with Toast 9. Two tertiary education sites tell me how to burn a Blu-ray with Disk Utility, but I've just received two responses which tell me it can't be done. I'm intrigued.

  • Disk Utility Burn Speed Option

    Hello,
    I'm trying to burn a bootable CD with my MacBook. When I go to choose the burn speed the only options I get are 8x and 24x. I have tried burning at 8x but when I go to use the disk, my machine tells me there are errors on the disk and it cannot proceed. I'm assuming I might have better success if I burn at a lower speed.
    How can I get more burn speed options to appear in Disk Utility?

    There must be a free disc burning utility tat you can download and try. Use that at 8x too and see what gives.
    Also it may actually be the media.

  • TS1901 Disk Utility Unrepairable Issue

    I ran Disk Utility after hearing some unusual noise from my system drive. I received this message after running Repair Disk Permissions (Repair Disk was not available):
    Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
    I also was able to run Verify Disk successfully after this. Can you please advise if I have an issue that requires attention from this message.
    Thanks much,

    In order to repair the disk, if it even needs it, you must boot into your recovery partition (Command-R) and run Disk Utility from there. Disk Utility cannot repair the volume it's running on.

  • Disk Utility, burning CD-Rs, CD-RWs

    It used to be (in 10.3.8 and earlier?) that you could burn a CD-R or CD-RW using Disk Utility. This was how it worked:
    1. You created a disk image of the size you wanted.
    2. You dragged the files you wanted into the image.
    3. You clicked on the disk image in the sidebar in Disk Utility, and then clicked the Burn icon at top left.
    4. A dialogue came up that allowed you to choose the burn speed and whether you wanted to make the resulting disk appendable (i.e. you could burn multiple sessions on the same disk).
    This isn't working any more -- when I follow this procedure in 10.3.9 (work on a desktop G4) or 10.4.2 (home on a Mac Mini G4), I get a disk that will not mount.
    Is it still possible to burn an appendable disk using Disk Utility? If so, how? And if not, why is the procedure I've described still possible?
    Colin

    Yes, you can still burn multisession cd-rs and cd-rws with disk utility. This is directly from the disk utility help menu:
    In Disk Utility, create a disk image that contains the files you want to burn to the disc.
    The files must be from a volume with a Mac OS Extended disk format. To check a volume's disk format, select the disk in Disk Utility and look at the information at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.
    Select the disk image in the Disk Utility list and choose Images > Burn.
    Select the "Leave disc appendable" checkbox. If you don't see this option, click the triangle in the top-right corner.
    Insert a blank recordable disc in the optical drive, and click Burn.
    Hope this works for you.

  • Disk Utility burn error with dmg file
