  • OS 10.6.3 & DVD burning failure

    Not too long ago I downloaded and installed an update to Snow Leopard. Since that time I have , once again, been unable to successfully burn DVDs. CDs will burn just fine but the internal optical drive and my external LaCie optical drive will not burn any kind of DVD.
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
    Many Thanks!

    Hi Winther,
    Some mentions in other discussion groups pointed me towards an app called DVD2onX2. I Googled and found the latest version. This app has presented no problems at all. Roxio Toast is still useful for CDs but seems useless for DVDs.
    Look for DVD2onX2 and give it a try.

  • Encore 6 BluRay DVD burn failure

    I am trying to burn a BluRay disc from Encore 6. The Encore BluRay file checks out in the build part of the program. When I click the build button to burn it to the DVD, I get the following message BluRay Error; "device error", Code "3"  Note Create STC Sequence: Fail to write M25 file.  What does this mean and how can I get my BR DVD to burn.  The project was created in Prem Pro CC, exported the media as a H264 BluRay file, then imported into Encore 6   Any suggestions thanks !

    >Come on Adobe, we still need disc authoring
    Encore CS6 is the last one from Adobe, and it is no longer, as far as I know, receiving any updates at all

  • Dvd burning failure.

    Hi,
    I've just finished a Dvd project in iDvd 4 and have burnt a few Dvd-Rw as tests. These all work fine on all my Dvd players.
    I have then saved one of these Dvd-Rw as a Disk image in Toast 6. My problem is I am now trying to burn this image to some Verbatim Lightscribe DVD+R on my stand alone LaCie d2 DVD RW Lightscribe burner.
    So far I've burnt 10 Dvds and half have failed. I'm getting an error message -36 sometimes. Also when toast tries to verify the disks a sector unreadable message comes up. Meanwhile I can burn a Dvd-Rw of the same image on the Lacie and they work fine everytime. Any one know what could be going wrong?

    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 drive failure on some DVD brands

    Hello,
    I've been using Taiou Yuden DVD-R's for a while on my late 2009 Mac mini (Pioneer DVD-RW DVRTS08).
    Now suddenly they fail to burn (Toast Titanium 11.1) with errors like:
    The drive reported an error:
    Sense Key = HARDWARE ERROR (or MEDIUM ERROR)
    Sense Code = 0x44, 0xD9 (or 0x0C)
    INTERNAL TARGET FAILURE (or WRITE ERROR)
    The drive reported an error:
    Sense Key = ILLEGAL REQUEST
    Sense Code = 0x21, 0x02
    BUFFER UNDERRUN
    Previously burned Taiou Yuden DVDs also fail to mount (the Mac mini spits them out or the drive unsuccessfully tries to read them and the only escape is to reboot with the mouse down so the DVD is ejected).
    But _TDK_ DVDs burn and mount just OK. Also CDs mount OK.
    The offending Taiou Yuden DVDs mount and burn OK on my old 2004 PowerBook as well as on a newer 2010 MacBook.
    I have Reset PMU/SMC and the PRAM, verified the boot disk, repaired permissions, and cleaned the DVD drive with compressed air.
    I suspect the DVD drive's laser is failing so it can't burn or read Taiou Yuden DVDs while it still can manage TDK DVDs. Could that be correct?
    Thanks for any insights you might have!

    Here's a video showing how to clean the lens in the optical drive of a Mac Mini. You might also take a look at iFixit for additional instructions.

    Fortunately, even if this doesn't work, an external drive is a fairly inexpensive option to work around your possibly failing internal optical drive.

  • DVD Burn problem. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use"

    Hello everyone,
    I initially had a lot of problems with PE8. However the nVidia driver update solved most of them.
    Just thought it was important to report success as well as failure!
    However one problem remains. I get the following error at the 96% mark while burning. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use". It is always at the 96% mark and the program is "compiling [something]" when this happens.
    Having searched this site I notice that user rgferg posted a similar problem 13 days ago but was redirected to repost in a different place, but never did.
    I have tried to burn a 1hr clip 4 times and every time I have selected the slower burn speed (8MB/s) as has been suggested. It seems that inferior media is a culprit, so I have bought some [quality] Verbatim DVD-R media to try in my Phillips SATA optical drive. I am sceptical this will work, but open minded nonetheless. I will give it a whirl when my computer has stopped capturing the VHS I am working on.
    Each time the burn failed the disk was automatically ejected and the burn process had actually started and progressed perhaps ~40% or so.
    This indicates to me that it is a drive sharing issue, rather than a media issue. Somewhere on this forum it suggests that I go through a 20+ step process and delete/disable every piece of software that can compete with Premiere among other things. IF I do this what do I burn with outside of Adobe? Do I have to get imgburn or whatever it was called? What if I like Nero? Nero 6 has worked great for me for 3 years.
    So given I am willing to uninstall my old optical drive burning software, who out there can recommened commercial software that for them creates a painless Adobe burning experience with no errors or conflicts? Perhaps there is another solution that I did not see on this forum?
    I am running Windows XP SP3. I have the latest nVidia drivers for my SLI GeForce 7600 GS cards. I have 3 monitors. RAID 0 SATA, 2GB RAM, Athlon X2 5400.
    Justin.

    OK been working through the list of 20 things Adobe recommends to fix DVD burn error. No luck yet:
    system meets minimum requirements
    Project size does not exceed disk capacity
    successfully burned project to DVD folder -thus skip to step 8.
      8.   Using new blank media for burning
      9.   Try different media and DVD burners. Bought Verbatim DVD-R. Don't have another DVD burner. Adobe's supported burner list is VERY short, so of course mine is not on it.
      10.  Uninstalled Nero 6. Did NOT uninstall Acronis True Image workstation or Lightscribe. These do not access the drive unless I say so!
      11.  Have not yet disabled startup items and services. This will take a lot of work and will leave to last. Deactivated Spybot thus far.....
      12.  Disabled IMAPI CD burning COM
      13.  DMA if available already set. Haven't set this in BIOS yet. I already think it is, but will check next boot.
      14.  Updated DVD firmware
      15.  Already updated nVidia drivers
      16.  Don't have any other DVD drives to disconnect.
      17.  MPEG workaround. Will resort to if required.
      18.  Disable Autoplay? XP only has "prompt me each time to choose an action". I have set this for ALL file types.
      19.  Have NOT refreshed the DVD drivers in the registry. This step involves uninstalling PE8. Will leave this as last resort.
      20.  Visit forums to see if other have the same problem. Hi guys
    So still working through some of the items above.
    Can anyone direct me to advice on how to write the encoded files sent to the hard drive, or the VOB files that PE8 failed to burn to a disk? Will the former work with DVD menus?
    What a process.
    Stay tuned.
    Justin.

  • G5 DVD burner error message? Help please?

    I get this error message when I try burning a 1gb quicktime movie to dvd on my pre installed standard burner. Thanks in advance
    the link below is a screenshot of the error

    Im at a loss and ready to by another
    below is the dvd burner profile

    The error "internal target failure" appears on PCs using this drive as well, so it appears that it's not a Toast specific error.
    However, in my browsing, no one seemed to be able to tell if it was a true hardware failure of the drive, or if it was caused by poor quality media.
    I'd try other brands of media and a lens cleaner before flashing the firmware. And, if you do decide to flash the firmware, the current, official firmware for that drive is here. The link in MLCinma's post contains hacked (region free) firmware and is outdated in any event.
    Let us know what brand of media you're using and what speed you're burning at.
    The DVR-106D has had lots of reports of failures, so it could very well be the drive. At least a replacement DVR-111D will only cost you about $40 - $50.

  • Intel iMac SuperDrive (Matshita DVD-R UJ-846) DVD Burning Problems

    Hi there:
    Having a strange problem burning DVD's now. I have a January '06 intel iMac Core Duo 2ghz, 2GB RAM. My DVD burner suddenly no longer will burn DVD's. When I put in a blank DVD-R, it just spins for a bit then spits it out, no prompt or error message. When I put in a blank DVD+R or DVD-RW, it gives me the usual prompt that a blank DVD has been inserted and asks how to handle it. But when I try to burn, it opens the session, then quickly finishes the session (without any burning) and spits the disc out with an error that burning failed because of an inability to calibrate laser power level for the media. Sometimes it says due to a media error. It also will not read a previously burned DVD data disc, including the OS install DVD that came with the computer. It will however, read and play movie DVD's, and also reads and burns CD-R's with no issues.
    I've tried the following fixes with the following results:
    1) Change media. Have tried several different types and different brands. No success.
    2) Burn DVD's from an external firewire DVD burner. Works fine.
    3) Hardware Test via the install DVD (on the external firewire burner). No problems found.
    4) Did a fresh install of the Tiger OS onto an external firewire hard drive, booted from that, and tried to burn. No success.
    5) Tried burning from Disk Utility and Finder. No success.
    6) Put a cleaning CD into the drive and let it run. Still no success after.
    System profiler says the drive is ready to burn CDs and DVDs. CDs work, DVDs don't.
    Any ideas as to what could be causing this and how to fix?
    Thanks!

    If you guys did a search on the optical drives you'll discover that they have a rather extensive
    history for failure. the failing optical drive process starts off rather slowly and worsens over time.
    You could replace the internal optical drive but rather than performing surgery on your Imac
    you would be better off going with an external optical drive.
    If your IMac is still under warranty you can have it replace but I would still pick up an external
    as well, I have read a couple of threads where even after having the internal replace the same issue
    happened yet again.
    I ordered a LaCie that does rather well.
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001P5C9S0/ref=oss_product
    I did however discover a couple of minor issues with my LaCie...
    1) When the mounts a disc , for some reason the mechanical ejection button
    on the face of the enclosure is disabled. This is not a major issue right click and eject or, drag the
    icon into the trash
    2) if you are wanting to lightscribe be sure to go to the LaCie website and download the latest
    lightscribe app, the one that came with mine was out of date and did not work in Mac OSX 10.6
    3) My lightscribed DVD's had a problem , the images where filled with rings from the center of the
    disc out, I have discovered this is due to calibration , Amazon has shipped me a new Lacie that
    I have sitting in a box next to me, I have not had a chance to test out the new unit yet.
    You may also look at OWC's optical drives
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/optical-drives/
    Either way make sure that you go with an optical drive with Firewire.

  • File name punctuation WILL cause MP3 and DVD burn errors – workaround?

    OK, I’ve seen TONS of questions about problems burning MP3 format CDs and DVD. I’ve been having this problem for quite a while and today I just got ****** off enough to do some deep research. I seek to share my finding and suggestions for work arounds.
    THE PROBLEM
    iTunes can burn regular CDs since the song file name is not actually put on the CD. The CD or DVD burner work for burning audio discs and with other applications. All the burn preferences are set correctly and have been validated. But when you attempt to burn an MP3 CD or DVD (for backup, transfer or for player that play MP3 discs), iTunes may do the following:
    Checking media (iTunes will ask: “You have inserted a DVD. Are you sure you want to create a Data DVD? answer yes, it’s a blank DVD disc in a working DVD burner)
    Checking playlist
    Burning disc… initializing
    "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (xxxx).”
    THE CAUSE
    Many times the error is due to song, album or artist names with unacceptable punctuation in them. iTunes does not tell you why and the error message and Google searches and Apple support/discussion forum details are sketchy… but in most cases its “illegal” punctuation in the song name, artist or album. I isolated at lest the apostrophe ‘ there are probably other illegal name punctuations too.
    The cause my be explained by Apple following ISO or Joliet file name specifications or file name length specifications for CD or DVD discs. But since this appears to be undocumented (to the iTunes user) there is a need to understand the restrictions to allow error free disc burning.
    THE CHALLENGE
    Even if the playlist name does not have punctuation, if ANY playlist song name/artist/album does, the DVD burn will fail. Removing the offending songs from the playlists results in a successful burn but hey, I WANT those other songs too!
    POSSIBLE WORK AROUNDS
    Changing actual song file name – even if you change the name in iTunes (Get Info, Info, change name, artist, album) the actual song file names are not updated and continue to have the punctuation error resulting in a burn failure.
    It appears that the actual file name needs to be changed. This can be a challenge. If you change only the file name you need to add modified file back into iTunes and the old file link is now broken. This is a bigger problem if that song file is in multiple playlists (the old ones are broken and the new one needs to be substituted). This is a REAL problem if you have 2,800 songs with an ‘ in them (like I do).
    LETS WORK TOGETHER AND SHARE RESULTS
    I’ve seen many, many unanswered questions about iTunes CD and DVD burning problems that will likely be solved if we can collectively develop and document a workaround. So, here is
    THE QUESTION
    What is the best way to rename (or retag) MP3 song files to eliminate punctuation and update iTunes and playlists so these songs can be burned to CD or DVD without violating the undocumented illegal punctuation restriction? The work around may differ for OS X vs Windows users so help on both would be appreciated.
    Thank you all in advance for your help!

    been searching myself to create my own cdg for use in universal karaoke players. Kjams appears to offer the most hope for all I want to do. although there's something new now called Aria which promises to do a bunch of stuff for 79 $. Otherwise, all that I want to do as listed by the original poster, would cost me Kjams lite, plus the burn plug in is extra, plus I'd need the kjams producer as I would be building a cdg by adding the synced lyrics to something I've removed the vocal from, on Audacity program. if I go with Kjams, those 3 softwares, it will cost me 150, while I'm so jealous all those PC karaoke singers have free software for karaoke they can download.
    I've been buying my cdg discs at 1.99 a pop, but they don't have special songs I want to perform. Aria for Mac might just do it all but I don't need the "scratch" sound they are pushing. that makes me steer away from the software.
    experimenting with the Imac 10.6 idvd movie quicktime might work. I made a few cdg but have not tried them in the club karaoke machine yet. I added the lyrics to tuneprompter which is a free software that lets you add and sync the lyrics to the music with the spacebar. thats fun. but it's all in experimental thing so far. I know Kjams does not let you add lyrics and sync them yourself. you are supposed to import cdg to kjams that are already available and pay for them. in this case I want to find my own special tunes. good luck to you. there's one other thing but it's expensive. buying software which turns your mac into a windows platform by partiioning it and you start up in one or the other. that's also about 100-150 software.

  • Rate SONY 820 UL/T DVD burner for burning iMovies-what's better?

    I have an iMac G5 with internal CD burner, but not DVD burner. I do have the iDVD and iMovie software--so I installed this external driver to burn iMovie projects and after hours of messing around with my blessed iMac G5 and mystified SONY support techs finally learned it won't burn iMovie or Quicktime movies with Mac software bundle it comes with (Roxio Toast Lite 6..) Should I send back driver and get something else, or stick with it and upgrade to Toast 7? I am frustrated since the Sony/Mac software bundle leads you to believe you CAN burn your videos.

    Hello Artcart,
    the main difference between iDVD and Toast is, that iDVD is primarily an authoring software (it authors the structure of the DVD with possibility of multiple menus, movies/slideshows) while Toast is a disc burning app ( with the possibility of encoding movies for DVD).
    If you look through the iDVD discussion board you'll find that most users adopt the "divide and conquer" method:
    1. Author the DVD in iDVD because it gives you more choices for menus etc.
    2. Create a disk image (a file that behaves like a DVD, but is stored on your HDD)
    3. Burn the image file to DVD with Toast (more reliable for burning)
    I should be able to select/drag my (NTSC formatted) iMovie project into Toast and the SONY drive will indeed burn a nice DVD for me?
    Absolutely. Toast does the encoding, but offers you only a very simple menu (start-up screen). if that is sufficient for you, you can do without iDVD.
    To add this: I've been using an external LaCie burner for the last 2 years to create DVDs for a living, and have had a very low failure rate .... no worries
    I am not sure what "menu" selection you mean--the "play" title menues offered in iDVD?
    Yep.
    hope this helps

  • Burn failures in iDVD

    I'm getting a very high rate of burn failures with iDVD. When I create a DVD the program rattles thru its various tasks but when it comes to 'burning' the drive keeps revving up but fails to 'get going' - after about half a dozen attempts the disc ejects and the comment is that 'errors were found...' (or words to that effect).
    I'll re-do the project and maybe it'll work and maybe it wont - its frighteningly random. Tried different discs - that doesn't appear to be the deciding factor. But once a disc has failed there are no signs of 'burn' on it and yet it will be useless... With a success rate of less than 50% its getting to be quite expensive!

    Thanks for the response to my iDVD problem.
    I did as you suggested and created a disk image of the project - tried to open it with DVD player but it couldn't see it. I quickly made disk images of DVD projects that had been successful but they weren't seen by the player either - perhaps I misunderstood that particular part of the scenario.
    Anyway, I re-created the project with a newly-made file and it worked fine - but as I said - its all fairly random and success rates are low.
    My projects are always created in FCP5. I use DVD-R's - the last batch being 16x.
    I don't use MP3's because they still don't work properly in FCP so I don't think the problem lies there.
    Any other suggestions gratefully received.

  • Idvd burn failure error

    last night I attempted to burn again via your advice on link--"http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1610170?" When idvd was finished with burn it said "burn failure". Would you no if it's because I'm burning my saved idvd project from the external harddrive? Anotherwords is it making it to comfusing to the system. I made one dvd from idvd project that was made on internal H.D the burn was sucessfully and played in my home dvd player yet when I put it back in the mac it didn't show up in finder or desktop,just spun for 20 second and ejected. Took dvd to work to try on mac recognized it right away. Is there some sort of diagnostic I can do by myself or do I have to bring it in. If you can help please give detail as I'm still getting to no my way around. Any advice would be helpful.Thanks mark

    I too have had "burn failures". I discovered that if I make a disc image of the project and then burn it using disc utility there is no problem.
    To do this:
    1) while in iDVD go to "file" and select save as a disc image. This will take as long as your original burn, but when done you will have a .img file on your desktop.
    2) open your hard drive and select utilities. In utilities select disc utility, open this. You should see your .img file show up. If not, close utility, click in the .img file on the desktop and reopen the disc utility.
    3) select the .img file in disc utility and choose "burn" icon. It may be helpful to burn it at a slower speed. I only burn at 4x now and there are no problems. When you choose burn, it will give you the option to select the burn speed.
    Hope this helps!

  • My Samsung SE-S084F dvd burner, used with lion for months is now suddenly unsupported. Why?

    My Samsung SE-S084F dvd burner, used with lion for months is now suddenly unsupported... how can it be possible? I can now read cd/dvd but trying to burn them gives me "Internal error". Disk Utility report: "Burn support: not supported".
    I burned my last dvd three days ago, running lion 10.7.3. The only thing I can think of is a software update done few days ago, something about java.
    Samsung says that lion isn't officially supported, but i've used it a lot and I know it works…
    Things that i've tried:
    1) reboot
    2) firmware update
    3) many different burning software including "drutil" from the shell
    4) I've tested the device on another computer (ubuntu 11) and it works like a charm
    Additional information (drutil info):

    Any tips? Thanks.

    Adding other info, it's getting even more weird...
    I've tried booting from an old snow leopard backup, and surprise... the devise still doesn't work!!! same error!
    It doesn't make any sense...
    It's not broken but both SL and Lion on my MBP refuse to burn DVDs (they both burned a lot of them with that device in the past).
    Same thing using the other USB burner borrowed by a friend, so i'm sure it's not a cable problem... what does remain? Mac's USB hardware failure? Impossible. On my SL backup there was installed Parallels desktop with an old ubuntu virtual machine configured, i've tried burning from it and it worked...
    OSX (LS or Lion) + My MBP + USB Burner = fail
    Ubuntu + My MBP + USB Burner = success
    Ubuntu + Another computer + USB Burner = success
    The could be some "broken" low level hardware bounded parameters, used only by OSX. I've already wiped NVRAM and PRAM, are there any other things i can try to wipe?

  • Burn Failure due to "laser level" being off: external drive

    I have just recently purchased an Optorite USB 2.0 Slim DVD burner with capabilities of RW. I am using an iMac G4 with OS X (10.4.2). I usually use a D-Link USB Hub to connect several other things to my iMac because of the lack of USB ports located in the back of my dome. I was told by a rep. at Apple Support that there is probably a failure of either power or loss of power because it is going through my Hub. He suggested that I hardwire it to my iMac. I did so and the same message appeared. Something along the lines of calibration error due to laser level. He also said that if the external burner was not compatible with the iMac that I am using than it wouldn't recognize it as a drive or even pick it up on the system but I did some more research on my particular model and found out, according to Newegg.com that it is not supported by the Mac platform. I am confused as to what I need to do. If buying a new burner, one that is generally used for Macs then I will do so but I would like to ensure that it will not work whatsoever. I have been troubled by this compatibility issue for too long now and am willing to do whatever it takes to resolve the issue. I would so greatly appreciate any feedback there is on my problem. Thanks in advance for everyones consideration and time spent helping me out.

    I have the superdrive that came with my imac and I get the exact same error message when trying to burn a CD. It reads and burns dvds, and reads cds, but that's it. Will not burn any CD's due to the "calibration of the laser". Any ideas anyone?
