DVD Burn fails (Error code 0x80020022), newish drive, just applied updates

Hello,
when i try to burn a data dvd with a variety of files from finder on my power mac g5 it thinks a while and then fails with the message:
Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed (Error code 0x80020022)
I just downloaded the latest OS updates last night.
Disc utility showed permissions problems in some files on my boot drive including in a darwin folder but they repaired fine.
Two weeks ago apple replaced my superdrive and i hadn't tried burning a dvd since then, but cds did and do burn fine.
This computer is under warrantee but in case the latest software updates caused this, or if someone has an easy fix that would allow me to save the trip to the store for analysis and potential couple day wait...
i'm all ears!
Thanks, Will

Thank you for your help!
At one point in the last few days i did run out of disk space on one drive, but i think i had 5Gig free on the short drive when i was trying it earlier, and i have upped that to 30.
My spindled HP DV-16Xs worked on the drive i had before pretty darn well.. I've tried a bunch of unlabeled ones, i've also tried burning at 1x, and i went out and bought some jewel cased verbatim dvd-r 16Xs, same problem.
I will take one more shot at finding the best media using that website, get some 8Xs if i can find them, before hauling it into apple.
without the dvd burner it's hard to backup very well, I was planning to get a external hard drive next month.

    Burning disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. (error code 0x80020022)  Any suggestions??

    Sadly, that error has umpteen causes, sometimes the drive is going out, sometimes it's bad media, sometimes a slower burn works, & rarely a Cleaning Disc helps.
    Bad File names can even cause it...

  • ITunes 7.3 failed back up data DVD burn had error code 261(0x00000105).

    Just bought a bunch of new songs and went to back them up in iTunes 7.3 and I keep getting error code 261(0x00000105).
    Any ideas? Did not have this problem in prior versions. Brner works fine with other programs.
    Thanks!

    Keep getting the same error as well. Run cd/dvd diagnostics and it should tell you... "The last failed data CD or DVD burn had error code 261(0x00000105)".

  • My Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not write DVDs and gets error code 0x80020022, what is wrong?

    My Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not write DVDs and gets error code 0x80020022, what is wrong?

    That code is not really useful since it just means it can't write DVD's (or probably CD's).  The only thing you can do is first to try a different brand of DVD's, higher quality.  You could also try burning at a slower speed.
    Based on the fact that you are using an OSX that's no long supported, there's probably not much you can do to correct this issue if it is software related.  You may also have a failing Super Drive, another consequence of an older Mac.

  • DVD DL failed, error code 0x26, 0x00 ?

    Made project in iDVD 6.0.4, going to burn DVD DL Verbatim disk, encoding gets all the way to finish and starts to write to disk, disk spits out with error code >The recording device reported the illegal request: Invalid field in parameter list. (0x26, 0x00)< iDVD 6.0.4 will make a disk image, and I can burn a DL disk in Toast 9, although a bit worried about the dual layer issue which comes as a warning from iDVD 6.0.4, anybody had similar problems with LaCie disk writers? Obviously iDVD 6.0.4. sees it, System Profiler, Under Disk Burning, Burn Support, it says YES (Unsupported).
    Had no problems with LaCie 16x burner, in for repair at present?
    Any suggestions welcome.

    Hi, thanks for the reply, apologies, I have not have made it clear.
    My internal drive has long gone, working with a firewire, LaCie,22x+-RW burner external. System profiler I have previously noted. I am quite happy to make a disk image first, then burn through Toast 9, which I agree with you is brilliant, just worried about iDVD's warning about layer break. My gut feeling is that Toast 9 has moved on a lot from 6, which gave me problems when I came to playback on TV screen. Also the DVD readers have also moved on, would still like to burn from within iDVD 6.0.4 to be safe as one can be, hence seeking advice if I am missing something on my set up.
    Kind Regards, G. Jackson.

  • When trying to burn files to a DVD (DVD RDL from Memorex) an error message appears saying: Impossible to burn the disk because communication failed between disk player and computer (error code 0x80020022)

    When trying to burn files (1,7 GB) to a Memorex DVD, an error messge says: Impossible to burn the disk because communication between disk player and computer failed (error code #  0x80020022).
    Is the Memorex incompatible with my i-Mac or what could it be ?
    My i-Mac is a 21", Core 2 Duo with 3.06 GHz. RAM is 8Go 1067MHz DDR3.
    Thanks.

    That message is usually caused by poor media. i.e. poor coating quality.
    Mermorex is generally regarded by most users here as poor quality media. So is TDK. Most of us prefer Verbatim, Fuji, Maxell or Taiyu Yuden DVD-R.
    Also burn at only 2x or 4x burn speed.

    Michael,
    An update on the ongoing superdrive error:
    At the time I responded to your post, I was burning DVD+Rs because my superdrive didn't like -Rs very much and would error out on them. Yesterday, to test my theory on Disk Warrior, I bought some DVD-Rs and burned about 3 in a row successfully before I got the 0x80020022 error again. I ran Disk Warrior again and have been burning the -Rs consistenty (I have a lot of junk to archive off my HD.) But I thought that the type of media might be important to the conversation because the superdrive appears to like one type of DVD blank over another.
    Some key points:
    1) You said you're using a Mac Mini as your bootup disk. I am using a MacBookPro. This may be significant.
    2) Because the error reappears routinely, this is by no means a complete fix. It needs to be repeated when the error reappears. However, in lieu of a more permanent solution, I'll take one that appears to work, even temporarily, until Apple or somebody out there can tell us how to fix this more permanently.
    3) Because it appears to be fixed after running Disk Warrior, I am going to conclude that it is a software error, one of the operating system not communicating with the superdrive, and has little or nothing to do with the drive or the media, as I've read on other forums regarding this error. Of course, if your drive really has gone bad, who's to say that it won't prompt the same error, if it is an all-purpose error. I had my superdrive replaced last year, so I'm pretty sure it's not the drive.

  • DVD Burn fail, Sense Key = Hardware Error, Sense Code = 0x09, 0x01, TRACKING SERVO FAILURE, What could be the solution?

    There is only one option and that is to replace the drive. It is not expensive to perform the replacement yourself if you so choose.

  • DVD burner not working Error code 0x80020022 & 0x8002006E

    When I try to burn a DVD I get the following errors . (Error code 0x80020022) & (0x8002006E)
    When I put a dvd movie in it will show on the desktop and play in dvd Player.
    It will show a CD in the finder and will play it in the finder and in iTunes. iTunes is can also burn CD.
    I have brunt some dvds in the past month but it was hit and miss. Now I can not burn any dvds.
    I booted up my iMac from my MacBook when I go to burn the dvd I get the same error. So now I'm not to sure if it is a software issue. I have also done a restart while holding P & R "option & Apple" to reset the Pram.
    I'm going to erase the HD tonight and reinstall OS 10.5 to see if that fixes the problem.
    If there is anything more I can do please let me know. I dont mind replacing the Supper Drive but I dont want to spend the money if that is not going to fix the problem.

    I keep getting this code come up when i try to burn 0x80020022. My imac is 8 months old, and after looking on mac forums the only thing that seems to work is to go in and play around with the international system prefs. It will then burn a CD, although very slowly. A week later I go to burn a cd and this happens again! This surely can't be right with an 8 month old machine, and does this mean my DVD drive is going to die soon? I can't keep having to adjust the prefs every week.
    Does anybody have any answers?
    Cheers

  • Error code 0x80020022 when trying to burn regular CD-R but reads still ok

    My imac has an optical drive that reads & plays DVD's but only burns CD's. *At least it used to* burn CD's. Now when I drag files to be burned, I get this:
    "Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed.
    (Error code 0x80020022)"
    The machine will *READ Cd's* just fine, and will *PLAY DVDs* just fine. It just refuses to burn CD's for me, even just a little jpeg or text file or something. Have tried alternate media, no difference. Is this some bug in Tiger, or are these drives just starting to fail, and how easy is it to replace this myself in a domed-base imac?

    Me again (answering myself ... things must be bad huh? After posting I continued to work on the problem. I first used Onyx to run cleanup scripts and verify etc. Then I decided to follow the advise from one blog and burt 2.5GB onto a DVD using x1 speed instead of default x4. THIS WORKED ... slow but sure. Good luck and don't worry ... if this was a one off "I'll be back" to let you know!
