Error code when burning a DVD

When attempting to burn photos to a DVD, I get the errror code ox8002006e. What does this mean and what do I do?

Possibly an issue with your optical drive.
Are you still under warranty?
Have you tried other media?
Have you tried slower speeds?

I get an error code when burning a movie to DVD

I use Premiere Elements 10 in my iMac OS lion vers. 10.7.2
I have 250 Gb free on my hard disc. The movie I try to burn is between 3-4 Gb
When starting to burn my movie to a DVD the following is seen in order on the screen:
Encoding Menu 2 of 2
Computing Media
Burning disks 1 of 1
and then it burns (at the end pretty quickly) to 99% and stay there.
I get an error code:
Internal software error: /Users/labuser/premiere/elements/molecules/pre10-bullseye/molecule-17/External/AuthorScri pt/Source/DVDCreator/FormatLib/Ma.....
When I look on the DVD, it looks like nothing has been burnt to the DVD.
What can be wrong?

I still have trouble with burning my movies to DVD.
Have tried the following:
Found that I had "-" in many of my file names (clips). I removed them from the file names, but this had no effect.
I moved my entire project folder to a shorter path folder. This had no effect.
I have not managed to find blank DVDs on sale here in Gothenburg, but will try to buy them online.
I have four movies that I want to burn on DVD discs.
Have succeeded in burning two of them.
I've tried to find what distinguishes between the two that are OK and the two that I have not succeeded with. They are all at about the same size, about 27-29 minutes long.
The clips are .m2ts and .mts files.
In one of the movies that are OK, all the clips are .m2ts files. In the second movie (that is OK), most of the clips are .m2ts files, but also there are .mts files.
In the other two movies that are not OK, it's a mix of .m2ts and .mts files.
When I try to burn the two movies which failed, I get the same course as I showed earlier (with an error code).
I must admit that I was wrong when I previously wrote that I could burn all the movies to my hard drive. The ones I can not burn to DVD, I can not burn to my hard drive.

Error Code When Burning (Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)

I've been searching for answers to my problem and it seems like this problem has randomly popped up for many others like it has for me.
A month ago I randomly started getting this error code Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.) when I tried to burn dvds in DVD Studio Pro. When I try to burn a DVD just from the finder options I get this error Code (Error code 0x8002006D)
But CD's burn fine for me.
I have been using the exact same discs that were able to burn before. They are 16x speed Memorex.
I tried relaunching the finder. I bought a Disc Cleaner today and i bought some 8x speed DVD's. I cleaned the Burner and I was able to successfully burn a 8x cd but still not the 16x.
Does anyone know the cause of this error code? Why would it just randomly happen?

"Drive Reported an Error" message when burning a DVD+RW

Hi, all!
I am trying to burn a rewritable DVD, HP DVD+RW on my Matshita R UJ 857E and each time I try I always get the following message:
*Drive Reported an Error:*
*Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR*
*Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03*
This happens with a few RW DVD disks that I tried to burn. The disks are HP disks and they work correctly on a PC.
Please, advise!

Hi All
I'm also having problems burning DVDs on my MacBook Pro, no problems buring CDs.
Each time I try to burn a DVD the disc is ejected, often during finishing, and 'medium write error'is displayed. I have tried different media and varying speeds but with no success, Suggestions?
After reading and testing a lot, I am convinced this is a DVD ROM problem. I believe, MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857E has some problems with some brands DVD+R discs.
I simply cannot figure out what is the reason to go on using those dvd roms in MakBooks after so many problems reported...

Error -50 when burning a DVD to an external FW Burner using Toast 10

I just upgraded to a refurbed 2009 iMac 27" i7, and it of course has one fw 800 port.
My Samsung SH-S222L dvd drive is in an Ezquest Monsoon FW 400 external case that worked
flawlessly with my PM G4. I also have a brand new Seagate FreeAgent Go
500GB drive, that has two fw800 ports on it.
I connect thusly: from the iMac to the Seagate via fw 800, and then out of the
seagate to the external dvd drive, using an fw 800 to fw 400 cable.
The imac recognizes two devices on the FW chain.
However, when I try to burn a dvd on the EzQuest,
Toast Titanium 10 reports an error -50, and says that it cannot burn the disc,
however, Toast somehow sent the command over and the drive
begins burning the disc, even though Toast said it could not,
due to the Mac OS -50 error.
2 mins later ( burning at 12x on Taiyo Uden Media) the disc is done.
And yet I cannot control the drive ( eject the disc)
from the iMac, because it still reports error -50.
Turning off the Drive and turning it back on,
will mount the burned disc, and then I can eject it as normal.
So, my questions:
1. is FW on Snow Leopard machines THAT flaky?
Or does it have to do with the "piggyback"...going FW 800 to FW 800 to FW 400,
that could be causing the issue?
2.
Could the issue be that the error -50 is occurring because
the iMac has TWO DVD drives, an internal and an external one?
That Toast or Snow Leopard is making the iMac not talk to the right
drive, and it has a momentary lapse and that causes the error -50?
I'm at the point now tonight when I get home trying to see if just
the drive BY ITSELF will work via FW ( going 800 to 400)
and that perhaps the issue is that it cannot handle more than
one device on the onboard FW port?
At least I figured I'd give it a shot before getting a new external case,
a USB only one ( this one is FW 400 only) and just using a USB external burner,
and only have the one FW drive on the bus.
Any help would be appreciated....
terryj

Solved it---
the problem was the EZQuest Monsoon FW400 External Enclosure.
Turns out that even though it has an Oxford 911 chipset,
the firmware is not compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
I found this out after working with both Apple and OWC
trying to rectify it. Now to rma the Monsoon case,
and switch to a USB 2.0 external case for the drive....

Error message 0X80020022 error code when burning CD.

Does anyone have any idea what this error message is? I was trying to burn a DVD on X8 speed...
If anyone could help I would appreciate it!
Thanks
Kris

I believe it's a hardware issue anthough don't quote me on that as I'm not sure. I would call AppleCare with this error code. They'll know for sure. I would also try burning to a differnet brand media to ensure it's not a media issue. I would suggest you try Verbatim DVD-Rs.

Error #-34506 when burning a DVD from iDVD 5.0.1

Hi everybody,
Everytime I try to burn a a finished iDVD project (a big QuickTime movie), I get a message : "There were errors while multiplexing and burning", error#-34506. In reality the project wasn´t burned, the DVD is empty. When I burn a short slideshow - no problems. I tried different manufacturers of DVD-Rs to no avail.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PowerMac 2GHz DP, 39 GB free harddisk space, MacOS 10.4.2, iLife 5, newest updates
Regards, Adam

I have the exact same problem. I am running a brand new iMac G5 2ghz with 10.4.2 and iDVD 5.01 and QT 7.03. I have tried it by importing my DV and MOV files into iDVD. Same failure with differnt media, even skipping one clip that I thought might be problematic.
Have further tried it with different compression settings in preferences... high quality vs. high performance. Same error.
Imported movies into iMovie and tried to run iDVD from there.... everything crashed. After a reboot, tried it again, and this time at least got a description of the error... something to the effect of "there was burning error but the disk has been untouched and can be reused, please try again..."
Am no trying to reimport clips into imovie, and export as one movie in both DV and MOV formats, to try it again..
Apple help couldnt even find the error number much less offer any other help..
IDEAS??

Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?

Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?
Using OS 10.6.8 and Magiv Video in iDVD, I am having a hard time creating a decent DVD. The videos per se are fine, but the intro menu and menu text and images are extremely poor quality and hard to read. What is going on?

Hi my notes on this - might be of help
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD or other resolutiona as result will suffer) or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
(I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

Is this coming from a link, or from something you are trying to type in the address bar?
Try replacing the "html" at the start with "http",
so if you have html://somesite.edu,
change it to http://somesite.edu.
