"Error"-message while burning to a DVD+R DL-disc?

Hi,
I'm trying to burn a project to a DVD+R DL-disc (Verbatim). The Project is 5,82 GB (183 min). I have put the project to "PAL", "High Quality", "Widescreen (16:9)" and "Double Layer" respectively in the Project information.
I start to burn, the coding of the menus goes well, but as soon as it's about to start coding the movies, I get an errormessage saying, "An error arise during the moviecoding".
I have tried like 5-6 times, but it always gives me the same message.
Anyone have a guess what's wrong?
(Plus, after a get the errormessage and goes to the Projectinformation, it says that my project is 7,64 GB, but still 183 min....)
Thankful for any tips...

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 message while burning cds and dvds

imac on Mountain lion will burn cd and dvd but most of the time says there was an error and spits out cd. When check on a different mac the cds are fine, what do I need to do to correct the error message issue?

This can be caused by poor quality media ( = poor quality coating).
Not recommended: Memorex, Sony, cheap supermarket offerings
Recomended: Verbatim, Fuji, Maxell, Taiyo Yuden.
Also, use a slow burn speed like 2x or 4x.

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.

Why do i keep getting error message while burning a DVD using iMovie footage?

I made an iMovie, loaded it into iDVD, watched it on my MacBook, tried to burn it and received an error message along the way saying that it couldn't continue. Another pop-up simultaneously said that I had to choose a source for my blank DVD-R. What am I missing?

How did you load it into iDVD?
The recommended way is to
1) in iMovie, use the Share menu to SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER in Large Size.
2) Open the Media Browser in iDVD (at lower right) and drag in the movie you just shared.
3) Set up any menus and such and burn your DVD.
Is that what you did?

Error message while burning "Menu" portion of my project

I just purchased a Lacie external dvd burner today for my mac book. I installed everything correctly, and when I finally figured out how to burn the dvd 3/4 of the way through the "Menu" portion of the download the dvd automatically ejected itself and prompted an error message. " There was an error burning your dvd, and your project was cancelled." Any advice at all? PLEASE!!

Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Error message when burning to Sony DVD-r discs

Just bought 200 Sony DVD-R printable discs from Costco, and I am trying to burn a 15 minute short film in DVD studio pro. The DVD just spins in Formatting and I get this message:The recording device reported the media error: Unknown device error.
I have burned this same film many times with my Nexxtech DVD's and it works fine, but the Sony discs don't seem to work. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
D-

Try burning at the lowest possible speed (probably DVDx2) and see if they work.

Error Message when Burning Audio & Data DVD's and CD's

I am having a problem burning cd's and dvd's. I have a 20" iMac G5 with leopard installed. I have tried using iTunes and Toast Titanium 7 to burn and both wont work.
The error message I receive is
"The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = Medium Error
Sense Code = ox73, 0x03"
I am thinking my burner in my iMac is fried. Does anyone have a clue what is wrong with it? Should i just bring it in for service?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem (Sense errors) with an iMac G5 running 10.4.11; have no idea what's causing it I'm afraid, but it's driving me nutty. It coasters DVDs almost all of the time, but CDs seem to burn okay.
I'm upgrading it to 10.5 this weekend though; I had been hoping that Leopard might magic the problem away, but reading this has dashed that hope

Error message while burning BD

I am copying a large 105 page Apple Works text to a CD. Part way through I get a message that unable to complete, error message 6. What does this mean? Any suggestions to fix it?

Try burning your CD at a lower speed -- not at the maximum. Even if you have to go to a much lower speed it should only take a bit longer to burn. I have had the same difficulty in the past and had success in lowering the speed. Also maybe if you reduce the size of the photos -- not to the smallest but to the medium size, that too may help. Just try one of these options to start with and see if it makes any difference.
Hope this makes sense.

Error message while burning CD

Hi all. I'm getting an error 4280 every time I try to burn a CD on Itunes. I think it may have something to do with a recent automatic update my Windows XP did. I googled this error but the solutions I find either don't apply to my computer or simply don't make sense to me.
Questions:
- What does this error mean?
- How does one fix it so I can burn my CD?
I am running XP Pro on a Toshiba Satellite laptop which is ~5 years old. My version of Itunes is v8.
Thanks,
eli

Error message when burning dvd

I have a flat panel 17" iMac with a superdrive. I have recently tried to back-up data onto a dvd. When I hit the burn button I soon get an error message. When I eject the dvd and put it back in to play nothing happens and the dvd is ejected only when I open iTunes. On a third and forth attempt the dvd gets spit out without any burn attempt.
Strangely, the first dvd I put in that was not readable on my machine I put in a Windows machine, which appears to read the dvd and I see the folders that I tried to burn, but obviously cannot open the files because it is a Windows machine.
I have read the discussions and dvd issues seem to be rife. I thought I had applecare but it appears it hasn't been registered and this issue is being addressed with apple. So I have not managed as yet to get any apple support.
Can anyone shed any light on my problem?
Thanks
PS: The reason for the back-ups is that I am soon going to upgrade to Tiger. I see from discussions that issues about dvds are rife.

I didn't note the message I'm afraid. However I have just tried to burn a dvd again and got the message 'An error occurred while burning the disc. This disc cannot be used.' I have tried the burn with two different dvds and I don't think the discs are the wrong ones. One was DVD-RW and the other was DVD-R. I recall that on another occasion there was an error number, which might have been 303, but I can't be sure of that figure.
Whilst on burning to disc, I want to make an image of a folder. I follow the instructions of navigating to the folder and click on it but the resulting image is only of the folder and not its contents. Am I doing something wrong here too?
Thanks.

You would need to have burned the disc using iDVD or a third-party application such as Toast. Is that what you did?

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.

I keep getting the following error message while sharing my iMovie to iDVD. "Unable to prepare project for publishing" error (-2125).

I keep getting the following error message while sharing my iMovie to iDVD. "Unable to prepare project for publishing" error (-2125). I'm running iMovie 09 v. 8.0.6 on a iMac with OSX v 10.6.8, 2Ghz core duo, 1GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM. Any ideas why?

That particular error comes up for a number of reasons, sometimes it's the size of the movie you're trying to export. Bengt Wärleby a longtime contributor to the iMovie Discussion Group has advised a number of people on this error code, so I am going to link to his latest advice he's given to anyone trying to export to DVD from iMovie: Bengt's tips for great DVDs.
Specifically, try bypassing Share to iDVD by using Share to Media Browser instead.
In the Share to Media Browser dialog box choose the Large Size.
When(If?) it gets through that process, quit iMovie altogehter then go to iDVD.
Create a new project and click on the Media button near the lower right hand side of the Project Window.
Then click the Movies button in the Browser window just above that.
Under the iMovie star icon you should see the name of the project you shared out from iMovie.
Drag that into the project and burn the DVD.
If it's still to large or you get the same -2125 error code trying to Share using the Medium size instead. But again if you really get stuck consult Bengt Warleby's User tips:
