Error reported during burning a dvd

Hello. I am trying to burn a dvd in dvdsp 4.1.2 and I'm getting this message:
The recording device reported the media error: L-EC uncorrectable error (0x11, 0x05).
I have burned many dvds with this computer and program and all of a sudden I'm getting this message. What does this mean? I need to get this dvd burned for a client and I'm stuck. Please help. Thank you.

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

Error messages during burning DVD audio

When burning a musical DVD audio 96/24 in Toast imported from an i Tunes playlist I get the message:" file VTS-06 etc inaccessable .
Data Fork -39 , plus a Mac system error. Mostly the error occurs during burning , sometimes during simulation but this happens rarely.
Can someone tell me where the problem is. many thanks

Here's what the Help Menu offers:
Exporting a movie to iDVD
Once your movie is ready for viewing, iMovie HD can automatically export it to an iDVD project that you can burn on a DVD. You can then view your DVD on a television using a DVD player or on your computer screen using the Apple DVD Player.
Note: Before you export your movie to iDVD, you can add chapter markers to it so that viewers can quickly review different sections of the movie on DVD. If you've added chapter markers, they are exported with your movie, and you can use them to add scene selection menus to your iDVD project.
Not all computers support iDVD. See your computer's manual to find out if your computer does.
To export your movie to iDVD:
Choose Share > iDVD.
Click the "Share selected clips only" checkbox if you only want to share clips you selected.
Click Share.
iDVD opens and your movie appears in a new project in iDVD.
For more information about using iDVD, choose Help > iDVD Help when iDVD is open.
After you have addressed the above then follow this:

"Errors Found During Burning Process"

Hi,
Having sucessfully burned AVI movies using iDVD in the past I have started getting errors. iDVD now does the same thing regardless of the movie i'm trying to burn and the media I use.
Having selected Best Quality (due to the film size), the menu rendering works fine, as does the prolonged job of encoding the video. When iDVD gets to the Audi encoding bit, just before it starts to burn the DVD itself, iDVD ejects the disc and states: Errors Found During Burning Process.
Clicking on the arrow to get more info it states: "The recording device reported the hardware error: Tracking servo failure. (0x09, 0x01.)" Bizarrely, the main iDVD progress window states both 'Cleaning Up' and 'Writing Lead-In' and the only way to get out if it is to force quit.
I've read a few posts on here and tried a couple of things such as trashing the plist file and reparing permissions. I also booted up the diagnostic disc to see if it could see a problem with the optical drive. But nothing has solved the problem.
Any ideas?
For reference, I'm running iDVD 5.0.1 on Tiger on a 1.8 G5 iMac with 1GB RAM.
Appreciate any help you can give me.
Neil

Colleagues:
Ran into the same error, # -34506. Definitely frustrating as I was burning a DVD of an iMovie that I'd spent many hours editing. The iMovie is only 30 miniutes in length, so I don't think it's a size issue. iDVD went through each one of it's steps in burn DVD sequence. However, 45 minutes later when processing is finished, the message reads: "Burning Finished, Errors were found during the burning process." Clicked to see the detail: "The error # -34506 was reported." Checked the DVD and nothing was burned!!! The same thing happens when I opt for disk image. No img file is produced. This is especially frustrating as it looks like it all but completed processing.
Does anyone know what Error # -34506 specifically indicates? How do you fix this? Does it only happen in a specific sequence? And, is Apple aware of the problem?
Thanks!

Error found during burning process

I am having a problem burning my iDVD project to disk. I'm using DVD-R disks. The message I get is "Errors found during burning process". The burning process seems to work correctly all the way through until it gets to the last step - "burning".

There are lots of things that can cause problems burning to disk.
I suggest that you save your project as a disk image (an option on the iDVD file menu) and see if that is successful. If it is successful, that would eliminate issues related to iDVD, encoding, and source material. After that, I would look to what brand of DVD you are using (Verbatim, Sony, Fuji, and Hp are oft recommended here), what burn speed (4x or lower is best), whether all iLife programs are up to date, whether you have any 3rd party or Quicktime plug-ins that might be interfering, whether you have sufficient hard disk space to burn (20 Gb is recommended, although 5GB would be absolute minimum).

"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...

Internal Software Error during burn to DVD in Premier Element 9

Error message during burning: Error during rendering/encoding

Hello,
I am using iDVD 6.0.2 to create a DVD. I have pictures and videos. The videos are in .ASF format and they are played on Quicktime on my computer.
Anyway, when I go to burn the DVD, it goes through the slideshow fine. But then, once it starts videos, it stops and the following error message shows up:
Encoding Video
Error during rendering/encoding
I am using a Memorex DVD-R (8x, 4.7 GB, 120 min video) dvd. Is there any way possible I can fix this problem? I really need this DVD soon. Thank you so much.

Best Buy and Office Depot carry Verbatim by me. Use only DVD-R, not DVD+R.
My guess is that .ASF file...........
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
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-29, Cannot burn a DVD or save a disc image from within FCPX using Mountain Lion

Really stumped on this one.
Running Mountain Lion, freshly downloaded version of FCPX, on a 2009 MacPro with 16 G RAM.
Trying to share a 4 minute movie I edited.
- No problem exporting as a quicktime move...worked fine
- Big problem trying to either burn a DVD, save a disc image, or export to an Apple device.
The progress bar gets about 90% complete, and then it stops and a message window comes up that says:
There was an error burning your disc. The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error-29)
Thoughts?

From Crash Analyzer:
DSPPublishing error -29 (Final Cut Pro X)
This error can occur when burning a disc if your menu has incompatible assets.
Suggested Actions
If your menu has a background image, make sure the image is not too large. Try reducing the size of the image and saving it as a JPEG or PNG.

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....

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....

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?

Any suggestions? Thx.

iTunes will not burn audio DVDs, only CDs (since iTunes 10.4 iTunes won't even use DVDs for backups). If you wish to burn an audio DVD, you will need to use third-party software. I'm not aware of any current software for Mac that can burn an audio DVD, but there might still be something available.

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??

IDVD ERROR's during burning

Ok i am about to distroy my computer for real,
Ok when ever i want to burn a project gets all the way to the end, i get multipexing errors or error #1 everytime. Anyone know the deal or easy fix?

Hi Jonathan
Was Your Mac delivered with Mac OS X.4.2 and QT 7.0.3
or is it possibly to downgrade to OS X.3.9 and QT 6.5.2
this is a stable movie and DVD environment - my experience.
Error #-1 Happened to me once. I had:
done a movie in iMovie (less than 50 min) and imported a sound file (.aiff)
that was more than 60 min and I needed about 2 min. So I cut away the
obsolete parts. iMovie couldn't handle the parts that hid away under the
right end of the timeline. Resulted in sounds that was un-deletable and
in an ERROR #-1 in iDVD.
I did: Deleted all sounds on both sound-tracks and imported new sound but
this time I cut it up in more matching portions.
Now : No error

Sense Code Error 31000 while burning DL DVD Encore CS5 Macbook Pro

While attempting to burn a Dual Layer DVD on my Macbook Pro I got this error: "Sense Code 31000" just before it started to burn.
I changed the burn speed, verified my laptop burns DVD+R DL discs. Any help is much appreciated. Must burn a master to duplicated 100 dvds by Friday. Thanks!

Hi,
Sense Code errors are hardware or blank media related.
Try to burn with other blank disc, if it does not work then the problem may be because of burner.
Thanks,

Insert Blank Disc Error - Can Only Burn to DVD

When attempting to burn a cs through iTunes, I continuosly get an error prompting me to insert a blank disc. The cdrs I'm using are fine and I never had a problem with them before. If I insert a blank dvd, the audio files will copy to the dvd w/o a problem. I also ran the diagnostics and received a 128-error code. Anyone have any ideas?

I can think of one thing that may be helpful. There have been numerous burning problems in the last month since version 7.3 and 7.3.1 were released. I have been told that a new version of Itunes is available for download as of today.
This might have been one of the errors that has been corrrected. Try that first. Download it from:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't help, I hope someone else logs on who has more experience with this issue.
