Error 1951 while burning disc

I have been trying to burn a DVD-R of music but keep getting this error. I ran the diagnostics tool and it gave me this:

Error -8785 while burning disc 2 of 3 during Back Up to Disc...

I regularly back up my iTunes library to DVD media-i hadn't done it in a few months and when I went to do so today using regular HP DVD+R discs that I've used before for this, the first disc burned fine (I needed three discs total, per iTunes). Discs 2 and 3 immediately failed with a -8785 error code. I restarted my MacBook Pro and used different discs, and keep getting the same thing. It looks like iTunes is fine with the first disc I burned as backup since it now says only two discs are required for the incremental backup. But I can't backup my iTunes library to disc (apart from, say, data discs). Disc 1 in this series, incidentally, was disc 30 for my collection, so I'd like to keep it going. I'm using iTunes 10, but I don't think that's the issue, since the first disc burned fine. Suggestions? Thanks.

I got an error message while burning a CD in iTunes - "the attempt to burn a disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." What does this mean and how do I fix it?

The disk you are using probably has a defect, not uncommon on consumer grade disks. Try another disk or better yet another disk from a different manufacturer or at least a different batch.

An error occurred while burning the disc.

I tried to burn some stuff onto a DVD today with my PowerBook. Here's the info on the burner:
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E:
Manufacturer: MATSHITA
Model: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E
Revision: DMP2
Serial Number:
Drive Type: CD-RW/DVD-RW
Disc Burning: Apple Supported/Shipped
Removable Media: Yes
Detachable Drive: No
I bought some DVD's on sale at Radio Shack, and when I tried to burn a movie and a few photos onto a disc, the progress bar showed it starting to burn, then it stopped and I got this message:
"An error occurred while burning the disc. This disc cannot be used."
A little research here at the Apple forum brought me to this site:
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
And after downloading a little program called DVD Media Inspector, I was able to classify the DVD's I had bought as:
"4TH CLASS MEDIA:
Pathetic garbage media, landfill material, about 0-50% success rate...."
OK, off to Mega Lo Mart, where I bought some nice, expensive Maxell DVD's.
Media Inspector doesn't see my fancy new DVD's. When I try to burn stuff using the Finder, I get the same result as before.
Getting desperate at that point, I located and downloaded updated firmware for my model of Matshita superdrive. I'm not sure what firmware is, and there was a free range one and a standard one, so I went for the standard one. There were dire warnings in the readme file about "flashing" a superdrive being on the same risk level as open heart surgery. I flashed my superdrive. (You can say that here, and it's not dirty.)
I also tried burning using iDVD, and after much preparation, it started to burn, then spit out the DVD. I tried three of the landfill DVD's and two of the Maxell ones. I'm out of things to try. Any ideas?
I have never tried burning DVD's before. Am I doing something wrong?

I tried again using iDVD's One-Step DVD making feature. It will let you make a one step from a movie file, and I had a .dv version of the movie I want to burn.
It encoded video for a while, encoded audio for a little while, then started to burn. The superdrive made some noises, then the DVD was ejected and I got an error message saying:
"Burning Finished
Errors were found during the burning process"
I hit OK (though it really wasn't OK) and got another error message box. This one said:
"Multiplexer error
(some message about multiplexing problem)"
The message didn't make sense to me, and I was unable to remember it. What's a multiplexer? I would have guessed an avid movie-goer, but somehow I think that is not it.

An error occurred while verifying disc.

Hi, whenever I try to burn a CD (any brand) the burn goes through ok and when it gets to verify (any cd burning software) it says "This disc may not work. An error occurred while verifying disc."
I have reinstalled, clean installed, done everything even tried a NEW cd drive and got the same issue. So, I am sure it's a software problem.
When I do run a burn, this is what I get:
IWhat I have been doing is running the "Console" application from the Utilies folder to see what is going on.
This is the message I get:
Finder: Burn underrun protection is supported, and enabled.
Finder: Burn finished, Sun Feb 5 19:04:56 2006
Finder: Verify started, Sun Feb 5 19:04:56 2006
Finder: Discrepancy in block 68 at byte 42.
Finder: Source data: 31D5 2B31 E3B3 3B3B 1FD1 D2C8 52ED 1D51
Finder: Burned data: 31D5 2B31 E3B3 3B3B 1FD1 52C8 52ED 1D51
Finder: Verify failed, Sun Feb 5 19:04:58 2006
There is always a problem with byte 42 and the SOURCE DATA is always different from the BURNED DATA by one element.
Always in exactly the same sector of numbers digits. As you can see in the source data it reads "D2C8" and in burned data it reads "52C8"
Here is a message from a different burn attempt:
Finder: Burn underrun protection is supported, and enabled.
Finder: Burn finished, Sun Feb 5 18:39:42 2006
Finder: Verify started, Sun Feb 5 18:39:42 2006
Finder: Discrepancy in block 220 at byte 42.
Finder: Source data: 9F2F 059B 208F 5CD7 A197 EBB2 B35D BF53
Finder: Burned data: 9F2F 059B 208F 5CD7 A197 6BB2 B35D BF53
Finder: Verify failed, Sun Feb 5 18:39:44 2006
As you can see its the same byte problem and same problem with burned/source data.
I have no clue what to do - any advice would be great.
I have reinstalled a million times, clean install, everything.
Is it a byte problem? kernel problem? It's worked once or twice after a clean install but never again. It's been this way from the box and Apple refused to fix it. So now I am stuck hoping for some advice.
Thanks

The fact that it worked once or twice after a clean install suggests that you may want to defrag your HDD; esp. if you have only one and the OS is on the same partition as your data.
You will need TTP4 or Disc Warrior, etc., to accomplish this. Disc Utility cannot do it.
Personally, I never bother with verification. Unless the data is extremely sensitive, there's no real point. If the disc loads OK, and you can read/copy the data back to your HDD, that's what counts.

How to fix error 4450 while burning cd

how to fix error 4450 while burning cd

This error is usually the result of hacking (jailbreaking) the iPhone. It is likely now bricked.
Error 1015: This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file.

Error 4251 while burning to a disc

I keep getting an "Attempt to burn disc failed error 4251" message while trying to burn playlists to a disc. I've upgraded to the newest version of iTunes and tried using the lowest speed setting and the highest maximum to no avail. Any suggestions?

Not sure I can help very much, but I have had similar problems with large projects. I think (but I'm not sure) that iDVD does not do a very good job of estimating the size of the project until it starts to render/encode. So your project might be too big even for a dual-layer DVD. Can you reduce the size/length of the movie at all. And/or reduce the size of any iDVD slideshows you might also have in the iDVD project.
One small trick (I think this is true, but again I'm not 100% sure) is to reduce the size of the audio. If you use songs from iTunes, what format are they? I keep my songs in Apple Lossless which makes the files large. When I compress them to say AAC 128 or 160 in iTunes, and then use those smaller file versions in my iMovie project or slideshows, it reduces the size of the iDVD project.

Error 4850 while burning, after upgrading to 10.1.2.17

Hi guys I'm suddenly encountering error 4850 while trying to burn either an audio or mp3 CD. Burning a data cd seems to work fine. This just started happening I'm assuming because I upgraded to itunes 10.1.2.17, I've burned hundreds of CDs with no problem before the upgrade (altho I've had this problem once before after an upgrade about a year ago)
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Error message when burning discs

I can't burn a disc from my playlists. I have the newest version of iTunes but I do not have the burn icon at the top of the page. The only way I can initialize a burn is to right-click the playlist and select "burn playlist to disc". The burn begins properly but somewhere before it is finished it cancels itself and gives me the following message : Unable to burn disc. An unknown error occurred (4251). Any suggestions?

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, I GOT THE ERROR 4251, WHAT ID DID WAS TO SELECT A SLOWER BURNING SPEED, I SELECTED 4X, AND IT WORKED FINE, THE CD'S I AM USING ARE MEMEOREX CD-RW 12X, TRY IT AND LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS.

Multiplex Error - While Burning Disc Image

I've been trying to burn an hour and a half dvd using idvd '08 on professional quality, coming from and AIC HDV project in final cut express 3.5. It takes around 5 hours to encode and then for the third time it's given me a multiplexer error at the end. Is there anyway to solve this?
Thanks,
Mike

Do you have 20GB+ free on your start-up drive? Do you have any external HDs attached?
Your MacBook Pro hasn't frozen up while encoding?
There is 10.5.2 available today.

Unknown error 2131 while burning a disc

The attempt to burn a disc failed. an unknown error occured (2131).
please help?!

Does your computer happen to be a Dell or Toshiba? If so, this error on either of these machines has been reported several times. I believe Dell has released a software patch to work out the issue, not so sure if Toshiba has done same.
