Error burning disc

I'm attempting to burn a project to a disc that I've burned many times before, successfully. (No changes in project.)
Today, the client asked for another dub. And I get this error message:
"There was an error burning your disc. The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error -29.)
It's not a big file. And--again--burned this puppy many times before.
Any suggestions?

Traskhing preferences is always a good first step. I use Digial Rebellion's PreferenceManager
If you have an image background in your menu try replacing it. Or use the same one but delete project renders.
Test by selecting a short section that includes the menu and see whether Share>DVD, choosing HardDrive for Output Device works.
If you don't have an image for your menu, or if the above doesn't work, perhaps your project has become corrupted. Copy and paste into a new project and again delete renders.
Good luck.

  • FCPX DVD export to Compressor: error burning disc; video file incompatible for DVD creation

    I've been working on a project for months now (feature film) in Final Cut Pro X. Therefor I have done about 20 exports already from within FCPX to Compressor for DVD. Did the same process last night as always.
    From within project timeline I go to SHARE -> DVD -> setup a basic menu then select USING COMPRESSOR
    Compressor opens. I click submit and after the progress indicator fills up way too fast, I get this error:
    "there was an error burning your disc the video file is incompatible for DVD creation"
    DVD spits out and that's it. Compressor and FCPX are both still running and haven't crashed but I'm confused. I have burned since the recent 10.0.3 upgrades (and whichever upgrade just came out for Compressor as well) so I can't imagine it's the upgrade.
    Any ideas?
    I tried making a duplicate of the project and renaming and exporting and had the same results.
    At this moment I am trying to export to DVD directly from FCPX with default settings and it has bee "processing" with no movemtn on the progress bar for an hour (it's a 2 hour video so this may not be abnormal).

  • The Attempt to burn disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error.

    When trying to burn a CD, I'm getting an error that reads:The Attempt to burn disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error.  I experienced this message before and took my Macbook in to the store and the the genius was stumped but when he tried one of his CD's it burned fine to he concluded that the problem was in the CD's NOT the Macbook or program  HOWEVER, months later, I'm having the same issue using the NEW CD's.  Does anyone have any information about this?

    3 methods to fix this:
    The first is to reset pram
    at boot up hold four keys down till you hear 3 chimes:
    command(apple)=option+p+r
    release keys and it will now reboot.
    The second is to reset nvram
    at boot up hold four keys down:
    command(apple)+option+o+f
    a black screen will appear
    now type: reset-nvram
    click enter
    now type: reset-all
    click enter
    it will now reboot
    The third is to open system preferences.
    go to international
    under languages: drag any of the other languages to the top, then drag english back to the top.
    make sure "order for sorted lists" is set to english
    make sure "word break" is set to english(united states, computer)
    then restart.
    I hope this helps you as it certainly did me. :^)

  • I am getting an error every time i try to burn a playlist. The error reads The Attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error.

    Can somebody help me. I used to be able to burn with no problem. But now while finishing discs, I get the following message.
    The Attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error.

    Try a different brand of discs.  Try restarting your computer.

  • 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.

  • Issues burning discs on iTunes/ error message about burn speed

    I've never had problems burning discs on iTunes until today, I tried to burn one of my playlists on a Memorex CD-R.
    - The burn seemed to be going OK at first, but the drive started making an obnoxious, loud noise by the 4th song out of 16.
    - The progress bar in iTunes then said "burning disc, finalizing" even though the CD had not been finished.
    - The drive practically launches the CD out, causing it to drop, rather than ejecting half way and holding it like usual. An error message came up saying something along the lines of, "iTunes cannot burn this CD because the burn speed is too high for the CD drive or media. Lower the burn speed in the burning pane of preferences"
    - I tried it again without changing the burn speed (which I suppose was set to maximum) thinking it was something to do with the disc. The same thing happened the second time I tried to burn the disc. The reason I didn't change the burn speed when it asked me to was because I'd never been prompted about the burn speed and I've used the whole stack of these Memorex CD's without problems.
    I am trying to figure out where the problem really lies - does this sound like an iTunes issue (which needs an update except that my system does as well), CD issue or a drive issue? Is there a more reasonable burn speed I should try next time?
    Any help would be so appreciated, thank you!!

    Try a different brand. Highly recommended:
    FUJI
    TDK
    Verbatim
    Make sure the CDs are not dirty, smudged and/or scratched.

    Your drive may need cleaning. Cleaning kits can be purchased from any store that sells CD/DVDs.

  • Im getting error message when trying to burn disc

    im getting erorr message when trying to burn disc ''device failed to collabarate the laser power level'' what does this mean?

    Hello, cinemann,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    +Can you help me?+ Maybe....probably....but you need to give more information about your project.
    What are you trying to burn? Movies, photos? From where? iMovie, iPhoto? What versions are you using?
    What exactly is the error message? At what point do you get the error message?
    What is the 'path' that you checked?
    What OS are you using? How much free drive space?
    Once you provide more specific information, we can address your problems.

  • Having trouble burning discs, sometimes error 4280 comes up, anyone know?

    Having trouble burning discs, sometimes error 4280 comes up, anyone know?
    sometimes it will say checking media, then it will do nothing!

    Look around for more posts about this. There are TONS. I'm guessing you have upgraded to the newest Itunes. Which apparently makes you CD burning fail! Itunes needs to fix this problem but so far they haven't. I think there are little things that you can do to maybe fix it but I'm not sure so look around for other posts about this same kind of thing, anything along the lines of CD's not burning and error 4280. I wasted 5 CD's trying to get past this error thinking it was my CD's fault.

    Hello queenabs,
    It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found."  I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
    I recommend starting with the steps in this article:

    Thank you all .

  • Has anyone seen this error message: "Disc burner or software not found"?

    Two weeks ago I successfully burnt a CD of Word files. Yesterday I put in a blank DVD and got a formatting error message. I didn't think too much of it (thought I had bad discs).
    Tonight I tried to burn a CD out of iTunes. I got this error message: "Disc burner or software not found"
    I suspect this is not good.
    Can anyone help? Details on the DVD drive below.

  • Unable to burn disc, unknown error (-3)

    Client has a Lenovo netbook with an External DVD/CD Burner. With current iTunes Win7 x64 release as of writing.
    Whenever she burns a disc it preps the image and when it gets to burning, it pops the disc out and Messages me...
    Unable to burn disc, unknown error (-3)
    I've checked around and never seen this error code pop up at all on any suppport forums, any ideas I'm willing to try out.

    So I got this error for a new playlist that I was attempting to burn. I noticed that it would fail when it reached a specific song in the preparing disc process. Nothing special about this song from what I can tell. I purchased it through iTunes along with the entire album. Once I removed that song from the playlist, it burns with no hangups.
    Going to delete that song from the library and reload it from the cloud. Will report back if that helped.
