Error Messages When Burning / Disk only plays in certain DVD players

When burning most all of my DVD's in DVD Studio Pro, after all of the encoding in the burn process and the program starts the initialization, I get a Media Error Calibration Error message. When I retry to burn, everything seems fine. But, my DVD's only play in some DVD players. Others say unreadable disc. Any ideas?

Many times, media can cause your problem, I use Maxell myself, (never had any compatibility issues. Here's a URL to a site that rates the quility of many different kinds of media and there reliability.
It also includes alot of very useful info below the ratings area.

  • CS6 Error Message When Burning a Blu Ray Project to DVD

    Hi,
    I'm trying to burn a Blu Ray project to DVD and I'm getting this message when I try to build the project:
    The project is an excerpt from a larger one and contains only 2 video files and no menus. However it's particularly worrying because the project from which this is an excerpt is large and complex. I have created it as a Blu Ray project but my final deliverable is DVD. I really don't want to have to rebuild as a DVD project because it took half a day to link up all of the menus and chapters.
    Is there something I need to do in my encode settings?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply John.
    It's extremely frustrating that this is the case. I'd have started with a DVD project in the first place had I not read this: http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/using/building-finished-project.html , specifically the following excerpt:
    "You can build the same project to DVD and Blu‑ray formats no matter which format you select in the New Project or Project Settings dialog box. Encore makes the appropriate adjustments to transcode the elements to the correct format."
    Reading that gave me the confidence to go ahead and build as a Blu Ray. I now have to find another half day to rebuild the project as a DVD.
    Thanks again for the information.

    I don't believe I've seen a solution to that error code. There's a new version of iTunes out, have you installed it yet, it might be worth trying. You might also try restarting your Apple TV and router.

  • Error message when burning Home Folder backup disk

    I got this error message when trying to burn a backup disk (cd-rw) of my Home Folder. Could somebody please help me figure out what this means? -

    There are a bunch of folders within your home folder, you may want to decide what exactly you want to back up or not.
    Besides your personal folders (Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures), you may want to decide whether you need to back up the library folder. The library folder generally contains preferences for most of your applications, and also caches and applications support files. These can become really big in some cases (Mine is more than 8GB, will not fit on a dual layer DVD). And the Library>Caches folder contains temporary files that will change from time to time, this might be the cause of your previous error since the shortcut is no longer valid.
    Once you chose your files and make sure they will fit on your blank CD/DVD, you can just do what you did before, drag the folders to a Burn folder, make sure you are not running any other apps, so they won't be modifying the files.
    There are programs you can use to backup to CD/DVD, Disc burner like Toast will span across several discs if the data does not fit on one. For a more automated solution, Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html) can backup to disc images which you can then burn to discs. I personally don't know a lot backup programs that provide good support for CD/DVDs, so I'll leave this to other folks.
    If you are going to backup regularly, I would recommend spending some money on an external drive. You can find quite a few free software for automated backup and saves money and time on burning CD/DVDs. Plus you have the advantage of being able to boot from the external drive should anything bad happened to your internal one.

  • Error message when burning a disc of photos

    I was trying to burn a disc of a large number of photos - around 400, and I got this error message:  "The burn to the HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS23N drive failed. The disc drive didn’t respond properly and can’t recover or retry."  I did a sample burn of about 5 or 6 photos and it worked fine, but this large project failed.  I have a total of 1200 pictures I'm trying to burn.  Any advice?  Thanks for your help.  I have spent hours trying to get this project done.  It looks like it is in the "preparing to burn" stage for 10 or so minutes, then when it gets ready to burn, I get the failure message.  Thanks again!

    Take your choice:
    Bad discs
    Dust bunnies in drive blocking laser
    Drive failing
    Crashed/corrupt firmware controlling drive
    Crashed system component
    Try different brand of discs and/or slower burn speed
    You don't say anything about your model computer.  With some you can reset software.  Of course sometimes restarting a computer can help.

  • Getting error message when burning DVD

    I keep getting an error message when I try to burn my DVD in iDVD 08. I have imported the movie in quicktime format from iMovie HD and everything works fine until I go to burn the project. I renders everything else but when it get to the movie it has an error and cancels the burn.

    Suggestion: Not a bad idea to test the disc image with apple's dvd player app prior to burning.
    Click Here
    I prefer to use Toast for burning an image to Dvd-R (verbatim at 4x or slower for best results).
    Click Here
    Not my personal favorite choice ... however it is possible to burn thru apple's disc utility like this:

  • Error message when downloading from Google Play Store

    After recently doing the toshiba system update for my AT300-32gb tablet I now get the following error message when downloading free apps from Google Play Store -Error processing purchase {DF-BPA-13].
    Automatic update for downloaded apps no longer works either. Anyone have a solution to this? 

    Go into your settings and touch "apps" on the left. Then touch "Google Play services" and tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache." Then touch "Apps" again on the left. Now do the same for the "Google Play Store" entry. Then hold down the power button until it asks if you want to turn it off. Go ahead and turn off the tablet. Then turn it back on and try again.

  • Will recording in HD mean it can only play in hd dvd players?

    im looking into getting a sony hdr-hc7 and i was wondering if i record my video in hd then make it into a DVD using iDVD if it would only be able to play in HD dvd players and if you had to burn the video to HD dvd discs? does the HD mean itll be better quality than regular minidv but u can still play it only a regular tv. or will you have to have an hd tv if u want to see what you recorded in HD. so i guess im asking 2questions. one about the HD DVD and then the other by just hooking up the camera to a tv. thanks

    Well, most HDV cameras out there have the ability to convert to SD (standard definition) as you capture to your hard drive. I have a Sony FX1 and it has this. Not sure about the HC7, but probably. You can look in the manual under downconvert or something of the like. Its a setting in the menu system of the camera.
    Usually what I do is shoot everything in HDV and then use the downconvert system to edit as I rarely have anyone requesting HD for the final piece. You could skip capturing SD and capture HD and then edit and export your piece back to tape (for viewing on an HDTV) or out to an HD version of quicktime (for web or computer viewing).
    To put something out to HD DVD, you need an HD DVD recorder and blank media (both extremely expensive whether you go with Blu-Ray or HD DVD). Oh, and you will also need some High Def DVD mastering software.
    Anyway, there's my 2 cents.

  • 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.

  • Error message when burning discs on a MacBook and MacPro Desktop

    I have encountered a problem burning a CD-R with the MacBook. I created 12 image files (JPEG) totaling 48 MB. I placed them in a Burn Folder and tried to burn them to a CD-R. I recevied the following error message "Burning the disc failed because an unexpected error occurred (error Code 0x80020000). The same problem occurred on my MacPro desktop. I spoke with an Apple technician. She had me reset the hardware on my desktop. When that did not work she told me the disk was bad. I tried a different brand of CD-R and a DVD disk with the same results. She suggested that I reinstall the operating system. Since it happened on both of my Apple computers it seems to me that the problem is related to a software bug, since it is unlikely that both machines went bad at the same time. The MacBook is only 3 months old and the MacPro desktop a little over a year old. Today I discovered that the desktop would burn a CD-R if I had only one image file in the Burn folder. Has anyone run into this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you for your reply. I have some additional information that may help you. I initially found that if I tried to burn 12 JPEG image files to a CD-R I received the error message I reported in my first post. If, however, I only tried to burn 3 files to the CD-R, they were burned onto the CD and I was able to retrieve them. If I tried to burn more than 3 files it did not work.
    I took my MacBook to the Apple store Genius counter yesterday to get some help and was able to exactly reproduce the errors. The Apple techs suggested replacing the CD/DVD drive. I am waiting for the new drive to arrive. In the mean time, I discovered that if I included any number of files and sub-folders in a single main folder, and then tried to burn that main folder it worked. I was subsequently able to successfully burn a single folder containing 300MB of files and sub-folders. This seems to me to be a bug in the Mac OS, especially since it happened in exactly the same way on 2 different late model Macs. Hope this helps. Let me know if you can reproduce my experience or have any additiona information.

  • Error message when burning HD with iDVD

    When i try to burn a HD movie directly from iMovieHD( v. 5,02) with iDVD( v. 5.0.1), i get an error message code OX8002006D, followed by another:
    "Burning Finished.---errors were found during burning process."
    and "there was a problem during multiplexing/burning"
    and the disk is ejected blank.
    With a Standard Definition movie, using the same DVD-R or DVD+R disks(4X) and same procedure, i have no problem. The movie was only about 2 minutes long with about 19 GB available.
    Anybody out there who knows what's wrong?

  • Getting "layer break" error message when trying to Preview a single sided DVD, or build an ISO image or disk folder

    Hi!  Hoping someone might be able to help with an odd problem.  I haven't found anything in the forums or the web that match my symptoms.
    I've been using Encore CS6 (v6.0.1.013) on a MacBook retina over the past year to successfully create a number of single sided DVDs with menus, chapters, and all that.  I usually make a copy of a previous DVD project, and then replace video assets with the new files and transcodes, move and rename chapter markers, and rework the menus in Photoshop.  I then will build ISO images for both DVD and Blu-Ray (both single-sided), and use those to burn many copies of each DVD for clients.
    This week, while developing one of these projects, when trying to build a DVD ISO image that looked like it would fit on a 4.7 GB DVD, I received the "layer break" message ("The chosen layer break does not satisfy dual layer requirements.  To fix this, either set a new layer break manually, or choose to set layer break automatically.") because (I'm guessing) the material was too long for the 4.7 GB DVD (the Build screen now shows about 5GB of material are in the project).  This is the first time I've seen that message - usually Encore just tells me the material is too big for the DVD.
    I re-transcoded the material down to well under 4.7 GB (about 3.9 GB), reverted and replaced the transcoded files, and now the DVD build screen shows that there are about 700MB free on a 4.7 GB DVD.  But I still have not been able to build any version of the DVD (image, folder, disc), without getting the "layer break" message.  I also now get this same layer break message when trying to "Preview from Here" any menu, killing my ability to preview the DVD menus in Encore.
    Just to see what would happen, I chose an 8.4GB Dual Layer DVD, and chose "manual" instead of "automatic" for the layer break selection, but never got the layer break selection dialog box, just the "layer break" error message.
    I typically build both DVD and Blu-Ray images from the same material in the same project.  I use different transcoding settings for each, and I have been able to build a Blu-Ray ISO without this "layer break" error on the Blu-Ray build (which is about 24.5GB when built).  And as I mentioned before, this is the first project on which I've even seen this layer break message.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  I'd rather not recreate the project from scratch, but I'm worried that I may have to.
    Thanks
    Jon

    The total project being small enough may mean you have one layer that is too big. Both layers have to be smaller than half the disk, right?
    Be sure you "run as administrator" for dual layer projects.
    Encore may set the layer break correctly if it finds a good place, but there are numerous complaints about it being unreliable.
    Build to a folder (no layer break is set), then use ImgBurn to build and ask to be prompted for layer break. ImgBurn is also unreliable under some circumstances.
    The most frequent problems appear to be when there is no good location for a break. Do a search for "layer break imgburn" and you will see a variety of strategies.

  • Error messages when burning to discs.

    I have one of the original Macminis with only 256 Mb Ram, running 10.4.11 and have been very content with it until recently. When trying to burn Slideshows to disc from iDVD, or backing up to disc from iTunes or iPhoto I find it commences the operation, then ejects the disc with the following message "Burn Failed. The burn to the Matshita DVD-R Uj-835F drive failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media." Instinctively I feel this means that the laser in the Superdrive is kaput. Is this a correct assumption, and is there anything I can do about it without sending off the Service Centres?
    Grateful for all help.

    The first possibility to consider before a serious hardware failure in the drive is that the lens in dirty - this can create the error message you see. Given the mini seems a little prone to the ingress of small particles of debris I would therefore suggest you try an inexpensive lens cleaner.
    If it turns out the drive truly is defective, my recommendation would not be to send it off for repair, but simply replace the drive with a Firewire external DVD burner. That would generally be of very similar cost (or actually less) than a repair, but provide you with a higher performance unit which is less fussy on media.
