DVD-9 burning issue

Hi, ...
If I make DVD-9 video folder out of Encore and wish to burn it using Nero, should i use DVD-R or DVD+R? I have two of them, Verbatim. Not sure whitch one is better. And will I be able to view it on DVD players? Or maybe I should change book type at first, and then burn?
As these DVDs costs big money, I wouldn't like to test on them:)
Thanks.

Thomas and Harm,
Encore is designed to burn only DVD+R DL's, not DVD-R DL's. If you don't want to use Encore I would suggest ImgBurn instead of Nero. Nero presents compatibility issues with Encore on some systems. ImgBurn is compatible with Encore and it's freeware and does a great job with both DVD-/+R DL's. I would only use Verbatim DVD-/+R DL's for quality and check with the players you want to use to make sure they are compatible with DL's, some aren't. Hope this helps.
Best Wishes,
Don

DVD DL burn issues - internal target error - fake hardware errors

I am receiving an error from DVD studio pro 3 and Toast 6 when burning DVD DL. The error only appears when burning Memorex and Verbatim discs (so far) using these applications. HP branded DVD DLs burnt fine from the same applications. Aside from the obvious, using only the HPs, has any one found a solution to this problem.
My error code is ....Formatting failed: internal device reports hardware error:internal target error 0x440x00...
I have tested this on other macs in my office and can repeat the error, so it leaves me to believe it is not actually hardware, but more over, likely firmware and or software upgrades. All equipment is less than 16 months old, intel chipped... I need a fix for our travel edit laptop - a Mac book pro.
Another thing that makes me conclude it isn't actually a hardware issue, the same discs that won't burn in Toast or DVDsp3, burn just fine using the finder's burning capabilties.
Thanks!

its been a few days since I posted my problem- i'm not surprised there hasn't been any movement on this topic... seems to be the status quo for all topics about this DVD DL problem..
For those with a similar problem, I'll review my work around for the situation.
Here is the low down review of my problem:
• the matSHITa DVD-R(UJ-846) will not burn DVD DLs from Toast 6 or DVD studio pro 3.
• the Mac says internal hardware failure or sometimes a session error - see previous posts for code
My work around:
• export disc image from DVD studio pro
• burn image as DVD-ROM (UDF) WITH simulation mode checked.
• worked for Memorex 8x DVD+R DLs, Verbatim 8x DVD+R DLs not at 8x speed, used 2x setting.
It takes a longer time for this route but has work consistently on about 15 DVD burns so far... I'll post again if this fails or stops working.
Again that is an intel chipped Mac Book Pro and iMac with the matSHITa DVD burner. Yes I capitalized that 4 letter segment on purpose.

Mac mini (Mid 2007) DVD player/burner issues

I have a Mac mini (Mid 2007) that I purchased on Ebay about a year ago. When I purchased it, the DVD drive was all ready bad and it only had 1 GB of RAM. I tore apart a different Mac Mini I had lying around with a dead motherboard, and took the DVD burner out of it and put it in the one I purchased off Ebay. I also upgraded the RAM to 2 GB (new RAM, not from the old Mac mini with the dead motherboard), and upgraded the OS X to Lion.
The DVD burner worked perfectly until yesturday. The problem I am now running into is the DVD drive works fine during boot, and I can boot to the original Mac OS X disc that came with the Mac. But once the operating system is loaded, it is like the DVD drive does not even exist. It is not displayed in hardware, I can't burn DVDs, I can't watch DVDs, and I cannot eject anything by any means other than a forced eject during boot. Again, it is like as far as the OS is concerned, it does not exist.
I am also having this issue with the headphone port on the back of the Mac, but more on a intermitent basis. The headphone port works, and is seen by the OS 50% of the time, but the other 50%, the OS does not see it at all. And it is the same way with the integrated speaker. (The DVD drive is all the time.)
Everything works fine during boot, but not in OS X. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Good work, thanks for the report!

Mac Pro and DVD Studio burner issues....

Hello-
We just got a new Mac Pro, installed Final Cut Studio 2 and for some reason when I go to burn a DVD in DVD Studio Pro I get the message of: No disc was found in the disc drive. Please insert acceptable DVD recordable media. I have tried 3 different brands of DVD's to make sure that it wasn't the brand we where using.
We tried burning a DVD in iDVD and it worked fine. I can place a disc or a dvd in the drive and it works..... I called tech support and they had no idea.
Has anyone else had this problem and/or a solution?
Thanks!

Hiya and good morning. Does the DVD Studio Pro (not running it myself) require a specific disk by any chance (anything in preferences?), such as -R OR +R or similar.
I take it, otherwise, your Mac Pro DVD writer is performing well? I could be an issue with that? Have you updated all firmware via software update?
Good luck.

AOpen DVD Rewriter Burn Issue

Hey,
I have an AOpen DUW1608/ARR DVD rewriter.
Ever since Apple released iTunes v6, it wouldn't burn CD's, it just gives the error "An unknwon error occurred (2122)".
On AOpen's site, they (very unhelpfully) say that indeed iTunes v6 doesn't work with the drive.
Has anyone else worked around this issue? And if not, who can I contact about it, and hopefully get it fixed in the next version?
All help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Thomas

Satellite A200-244 - DVD/CD burning issues

Hi all
I've had my Satellite A200-244 since February 2008 and I'm very happy with it apart from the cd/dvd writer which is completely useless.
I've yet to manage to burn a cd (audio or data) without errors occuring.
In fact these days I can't burn a cd at all - iTunes doesn't like it, Winamp doesn't like it, even Windows Media Player hates it now (it used to be OK with it).
Is this an issue others had as well?
I don't know what to do and I really need to be able to burn cds!
I'd be grateful for any help/pointers.
Many thanks.

I still dont know the details
What error do you get?
What burning application do you use?
And yes if you are using wrong or not compatible CDs you will be not able to burn the medium or it will burn but not properly.
Furthermore some installed 3rd party applications like for example iTunes could affect the data burning.
By the way;
Remove the driver from device manager. Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Then restart the notebook.

DVD/CD burning issues resolved

I too have been having many of the issues as others here. The "failed to calibrate laser power level", "medium errors" & "sense errors". I tried repairing permissions, cranking up the fans, new account, various media. None of those worked.
Then today I decided to use some compressed air and and appzapped toast 8 & 9. Voila everything works fine now...no coasters after 5 discs. All media that previously has not worked now works great(TDK +R, SONY +R, Verbatim -/+ R). I am currently using Burn. Cant believe it was this simple, for those who are still having issues give it a try.
Still seems weird that right after leopard installed months ago I got the errors, somehow the leopard dvd made the drive dirty?

Geeze - the compressed air worked for me, too! I suddenly couldn't burn CD's or DVD's and tried several things (repairing permissions, removing files, etc.). This was the thing that worked.
I'm so glad that I checked this discussion forum and I'm so glad that the rest of you mentioned this! Thanks so much!

DVD+R burning issue

Very strange, seems that the first DVD+R I burn fails verification just as it starts, and the second effort succeeds, basically since upgrading to Leopard. It really is starting to feel like a software glitch because it's happening this way all the time. 3 out of 3 so far. Has anyone else noticed this? I use Taiyo Yuden media and I've never had problems with it before. In fact I can't recall any burn errors previously.

Hi Chris,
The Dual-layer option is your choice. just remember they have two sides and they could get scratched twice as easy.
When you browse the e-shop sites, the internal drives they offer for your model Mac will fit. You should contact the e-shop by phone or e-mail for any other questions or browse the Manufacturer's site for that model you're interested in, to see the specifications and Mac OS compatibility specs.

DVD-R burn error "medium write error"

Just received a refurbished iMac today. Doing a basic Disc Copy from Disk Utility and burn one disc OK. The second disc ejects half way through burn and "medium write error" pops up. All the disc I pull out are blazing hot as well. I don't know if this has anything to do with it.
I am trying another burn now. Has anybody seen this error or had DVD-R burning issues?
Thanks,
Adam

I saw this using Toast 9 -- turned out I had turned on the DVD-DL support by accident and I didn't have a DL DVD drive.

Odd dvd burning issue

10.4.11 and using simply burns to burn dvds is doing odd things. i have a
dvd i want to make a bunch of copies of. i have the video and audio ts folders
stored in a common folder. i drag them to simply burns, name the dvd, save
this as a project and burn it. everything works fine. the dvd auto starts in
my standalone dvd player, mac, and pc. when i burn the second copy, it also
is fine in the dvd and pc, but none of the macs i've tried it on will recognize
the disc. placing it in the mac does bring up the dvd player but it doesn't
start automatically. pressing the play button brings up a message that there is
an unsupported disc in the player. however, by opening the file menu--->open
dvd media--->selecting the dvd--->choose, the dvd plays fine with the minor
exception of not going to full screen mode.
this has happened with an older version of simply burns as well as the latest
release.
i tried burning the folders directly from dvdstudiopro and that worked perfectly
except i have to re-enter the dvd name and re-navigate to the dvd folders for
each dvd i burn.
any ideas on why this could be happening?
thanks,
BabaG

yeah. not the best solution as, since i store the video_ts and audio_ts
folders on my system, it pretty much doubles the storage needed for all
of the dvd's. it also takes a lot of extra time as i have to burn a good
dvd, then rip to image for every dvd i have stored.
would be much better to be able to solve what's changing between the first
and second burns. that said, i definitely appreciate getting a tip to a
viable workaround.
thanks again,
BabaG

Logitech external USB DVD reader/burner model LDR-PMD8U2LBK not recognized.

Got a external USB DVD reader/burner Logitech model LDR-PMD8U2LBK.
I plug the device, use the adapter but nothing happens. I tried to boot the computer with the driver plugged in, again, nothing. If I put a DVD in the driver, I hear the machine buffer but on the screen, nothing. Checked all the view options, everything is selected. It doesn't appear in the Disk Utility neither. Tried to open a DVD with VLC Player, to no avail. Checked on Logitech's site, there are no drivers for this driver. The seller told me that it should be compatible with my black macbook, I guess there is still a possibility that it is not...

You shouldn't need drivers for a USB or Firewire connected external device.

OSX DVD/CD Burner Error Code - HELP!

Hey everyone. I hope someone might be able to help me out with a problem I am having.
I just purchased a Plextor DVD/CD burner, and every time I put a blank in it, it gives me an error code (0x80020025). I thought it just might be my burner, but I tried to burn a disc with my buddy's Lacie, and had the same issue. The drive reads all discs fine, it just won't let me set it up to burn one.
Can anyone help, please?! Thank you all so much.

The drive is an external drive. It is a Plextor PX-740UF. I am running it with USB. Just to let you know, I had the same issue with my buddy's Lacie drive when I plugged it in.
The drive recognizes everything BUT unburned discs. When I put one in and I try to open it in Finder, or in iTunes, it gives me that error code.
I have also tried to do the force quit from Finder, and then re-launching, but this doesn't help either.
Thanks for your help.

Re-installing iTunes to install DVD/CD burning software

When I load iTunes, a message come up saying that there is no component to allow DVD/CD burning....could be cause by installing other DVD/CD burning software and to re-stall iTunes. I have re-installed twice and re-booted and still get the same error message. I am trying to back-up my iPod library and can't burn to disk through iTunes. In addition, I find that my iTunes library now has about 40% of the tunes with an exclamation point next to the song list and if I try to play it, as error message comes up saying file can't be found. That's why I want to back up my iPod before I try to load my music from my iPod back onto my computer. HELP! Any ideas about how I can solve these problems?
Thanks

External Lacie DVD/CD burner not working

Hello,
I'll try to keep this brief. I'm trying to help my brother with a problem that arose today with his Lacie DVD/CD burner. He uses a Mac G4, firewire 800. It quit recognizing media. Same (blank) media as he's always used, but it says that the disk is full. Wouldn't even recognize a movie he had created and burned onto the DVD, using the same burner in question. His computer recognizes the Lacie. He went out and bought a brand new Lacie today and he has the exact same problems, so we're assuming it's his computer and not the Lacie? This is so puzzling, since before today he had no problems. If anyone out there has any suggestions, we'd surely appreciate hearing them.
Thank you in advance.

xabbess, did you figure this out?
I am experiencing the same issue with my Lacie DVD burner (LaCie 20x d2 DVD±RW with LightScribe) not recognizing certain blank media. It will only recognize and burn DVD-Rs, and even that only works sporadically (I've tested DVD+Rs & -Rs from various brands recommended by Lacie). I've tested it on the two computers I have - a Mirrored Door Dual G4 and an iBook G4 both running 10.4.11 at the time - with the exact same results. But it did seem to work fine on an Intel iMac at the tech support office at the place I bought it at (MicroTech). So, I'm thinking the DVD burner is okay and that maybe it's just a compatibility issue with my computers or the OS I'm using.
So, I'm wondering if anyone out there has experienced this, and has figured out the problem. I've just recently installed Leopard 10.5.5 on my iBook G4, but I haven't had a chance to test the DVD burner on it. When I do, I'll post the results.
