DVD and CD rewritealbe disc burning.

I am using the generic burning software that came with my laptop, but I can not add files to rewritable discs no matter what I do. Is this supported by the generic burning software or do I need a program like toast?

If you want to do mutli-session burning then I would highly recommend you have a look at Roxio Toast Titanium. Be aware that even though the fiscs you are using a rewriteable that does not mean the way you handle them is any different to a write once disc. All it means is that you can erase the discs and then use it again.

  • Satellite A60-302: CD drive read DVDs and CDs but not burned discs

    I have a Toshiba laptop: Satellite A60-302 and I have a problem with the cd drive. It can read dvds and discs that I buy but it wont read all burned discs (even ones that I burned with the laptops own burner). Only from time to time it will read a burned disc.
    I have tried cleaning the cd drives laser eye but it didnt help.
    Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    Hi
    This sounds like the CD burner doesnt burn CD properly.
    You have suggested that you have used different kinds of CDs.
    In the user manual you will find a list of compatible medias.
    These medias was tested and should works properly.
    But if this happens with all CDs so possibly the drive cannot works properly and only a replacement could solve this issue.

  • My burner keeps reading my cd as a dvd and I want to burn a playlist? What do I do?

    My I-Tunes burner keeps reading the cds I insert as a dvd so I am unable to burn my playlist. What do I do?

    Yeah- up. Same batch of cds.
    Under Burn Settings it describes the Disc Burner: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-8A8
    The rest I have set up for Audio CD.
    What do you think?

  • I downloaded a movie from iTunes.  I wanted to burn a DVD so I dragged the movie onto a blank DVD and it appeared to burn it correctly.  When I try to play the movie from this DVD  I get an error message referencing "you can't open the application mediaio

    I downloaded a movie from iTunes.  I wanted to burn a DVD of the movie which I could play on my home entertainment system.  After I had burned the DVD I tried to play the movie from it on the computer and got the message " You can't open the application mediaioserver because it may be damaged or incomplete".  What is this all about?  Are there settings I need to change?  PS: I tried to play the DVD on my home DVD player and it also doesn't work.  Help!

    Klaus:  Does this mean that I can only watch this movie on my computer and ipad not on my home big screen system?

    Hi
    Four thoughts
    • Brand and type of DVD/CD Media
    • Burn Speed ?
    • Ever used a Cleaning DVD ?
    • Free space on Main Start-Up Hard Disk ?
    Brand and type of DVD/CD Media: MATTERS
    - Memorex, NoName and other Cheap brands - most probably works for other things BUT NOT FOR VIDEO.
    I only use Verbatim
    - DVD-RW - usually do not work OK but with various kinds of problems. DVD+R is a more modern sort and use to give problems on older DVD-players
    I only use DVD-R
    Burn Speed (in iDVD or alike): Matters
    • Best or Max - is not best
    I set it down to x2 or x4 Max
    Ever used a Cleaning DVD ?
    I use one WITHOUT Liquid but with brushes from time to time
    Free space on Main Start-Up Hard Disk ?
    - Due to that Mac OS X - is UNIX - it behaves likewise. It needs lot's of space on Boot / Start-Up Hard Disk for it's and the applications temp files.
    I never go less than 25GB free space - If HD-Video material is used then 4-5 times more is a good thing.

  • 10.4.4 CD mount gone, but DVD and VLC work, can burn a disk, but won't show

    Super drive seemed to work after 10.4.4 and iTunes upgrades for several days until yesterday when cds, either commercial, RW or burned in iTunes refuse to mount. DVD works fine, and I can burn CD's in iTunes, they just won't show up on this G5. Inserting a cd does not trigger itunes or CDDB lookup. Only thing that may be different is that I used a Lexar Jump Drive Secure recently to transfer some files. Seemed to stop working after that. I can access the drive through Toast and Disk Utility by the way, and inserting a DVD works just fine to launch DVD player. There is no change in drive preference settings that I can find.
    Any suggestions? Haven't yet tried Archive and Install just in case there's something obvious with this upgrade. If the Lexar installs any drivers, I'm not sure how to uninstall them. Seems as though there could be an incompatibility there. This drive does install a password program that has worked in the past...
    There were some issues shared by many Mac users when first going to Tiger with poor reads in the Superdrive...these seemed resolved up until now...
    I use this G5 for audio editing for two radio shows, so I sure need to get the cd function back...
    Thanks!
    Dual G5 2.0 GHZ 2 GB Ram   Mac OS X (10.3.7)  
    Dual G5 2.0 GHZ 2 GB Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Problem solved. Proven to be 10.4.4 upgrade. Attempted archive and install, but computer would not boot from CD (though Mac Install disk DID mount properly, but restart would not boot). Tried swapping to another DVD drive, same problems so NOT hardware, NOT firmware as suspected by Apple Care support.
    But since DVD's appeared to mount properly, tried Mac DVD install disk...worked perfectly, and now Audio cd's mount fine with either DVD drive.
    Will try upgrading again to see if problem is reproduced or if it was a corrupted initial install...

  • I try to burn a CD and iTunes says "Disc burner or software not found"

    Does anybody know where I can download the software for this? =(
      Windows XP  

    Try looking on the manufacturer of your Disc Drive's website for any drivers that you might need.

  • When i try to burn a cd it says "disc burner or software" and it doesn't start to burn...i tried to call itunes support but they couldn't help

    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:

  • Blu ray drive no longer recognizing dvds or blu ray discs

    Until about a week ago I was able to read cds, dvds, and blu ray discs with my dv6 product number lm720av.  Windows 7 64 bit.  I put in a disc recently and it tries to read the disc for a couple of minutes before it stops trying and shows no disc in the drive.  I looked online and it looked like there were other instances of this happening but no one had a solution.  It can read cds but not dvd or blu ray at this point.  I tried uninstalling the optical drive via device manager and it uninstalled no problem then windows automatically found the drive and reinstalled the drivers which did not change the results.  I saw online people were suggesting running sfc under administrator mode in the command prompt.  No change.  Does this mean my blu ray diode failed?  I see two lenses in the drive, is one cd and the other a combo dvd/blu ray?  Any other suggestions?  
    I am about 3 weeks out of warranty on this laptop.

    Hi,
    The following procedure will test if your notebook can start from a bootable disc in the CD/DVD drive - the advantage of trying this is that it will rule out any possible Windows driver error as the CD/DVD drive is under the control of the Bios when starting the notebook.  So if you find that the notebook will not boot from the DVD, then it's almost certainly a Hardware fault in the optical drive itself and it will need to be replaced.
    Using another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD and DVD.  Download the ISO from the link below.
    Windows 7 64bit
    You need use an application such as ImgBurn to correctly burn the ISO to a DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  Once created, insert the DVD and then restart the notebook and see if it boots from this disc - if it does, let the first screen come up ( this will show repair options etc ) then just remove the DVD and restart.  If the notebook will not boot from the DVD, it will just load straight into Windows, in which case, just remove the DVD.
    Let me know.

  • When I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop

    Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Everytime I try to burn an iMovie project to a DVD with iDVD, the disc is ejected during the Burning and Multiplexing phase before it's completed.

    For months I have been unable to burn any iMovie project to a DVD using iDVD.  During the Burning and Multiplexing phase the disc is ejected before it's complete.  I went the Genius Bar and after many tests I was told that my disc drive was pretty much dead.  The person that helped recommended that I buy an external DVD burner from amazon.  I bought the new drive and I can now burn files, but I'm still encountering the same issue burning a movie.  Does anyone have any idea what'g going on?  I'm extremely frustrated at this point!
