Formatting of the cd/dvd failed

I have a windows 7 Home premium PC with SP1. I am not able to format my cd/dvd using the live file system. When ever I try, after a considerable amount of time, it gives the error that formatting of the disk failed. I have tried both CD-R and CD-RW but the
result is the same.
I'll be grateful if somebody has the solution for the problem

The recovery DVD you use makes the default partitioning scheme that your system obtained from the factory.You cannot make custom partitions with the recovery dvd set

What formats can the Mac DVD player App support/play?

I have a list of movies that I imported from my friend, and, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out which formats will work and which wont--totally not tech savvy enough to figure this one out.

Unless the movies are on a DVD disk, DVD Player is not your App. Quicktime is it. You should be able to simply double-click the file to open with QT Player - the Mac knows how! - ÇÇÇ

Using compressor DVD Studio Pro 4 will only accept ac3 format in the burn process. ac3 makes a nnsense of the good sound delivered, 30% reduction in volume, auto volume levelling giving unwanted volume variations. Used to be able to burn using AIFF/WAVE,

AS Above. Edited in FCPX. Excellent sound file. Using Compressor 4 to DVD Studio 4. Wanting AIFF or WAVE sound for acurate sound.
Previously DVD Studio 4 has accepted AIFF etc and delivered sound as reuired. Now, during the burn process everything other than ac3 is declined as 'video bit rate too high', but will burn if the AIFF format is replaced with ac3 (which I presume meanss the 'video bit rate too high' is referring to the sound file)
The issue with ac3 format is the huge reduction in original volume and worse, the 'auto volume levelling' that makes a nonsense of the original soundtrack - with simply aweful unwanted variations in volume Throughout the the dvd.
I have tried everything I can think of to get around this. The 'volume gain' in compressor doesn't make any difference. Exporting just AIFF and the Video to DVD 4 doesn't make any difference, it always declines anything but the aweful sound ac3 delivers.
I have customers awaiting a musci DVD, not with thei quality I can't.
Cheers

The total video bit rate is determined by audio & video. Depending on what rate your video file was encoded at will determine how much room is left for audio. PCM(aiff/wav) audio requires a bigger piece of the pie. Video bit rate too high means your overall(video+audio) rate is going above 9Mbps which the format won't allow. The only way to use aiff would be to lower your video file's data rate. The length of your program is also a factor in all of this.
I had some problems in the past with using aiff instead ac3. Although there shouldn't be any issue I experienced playback issues on some players that couldn't be explained but were cleared up by ac3. I have been using the same specs as Dave's suggestion for almost nine years and have not had any issues with mix, quality, or levels.

How to format HDD and reinstall OS on macbook pro mid 2010 without the installation DVD.

After updated the OS with MAVERICKS becomme my macbook very slow. So I want to format the HDD and reinstall the OS but without the installation DVD - (lost).
Could some one advise me how to proceed? Thank you

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X Lion and newer include OS X Recovery to reinstall Mac OS X without the need of a DVD. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
First of all, copy your most important files to an external drive, or make a backup of your files. Then, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting, open Disk Utility and erase Macintosh HD by choosing it in the Disk Utility's sidebar and going to Erase tab.
Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed. Verifying the burned

I am trying to burn an album from iPhoto '09 and I receive the following error message:
The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed. Verifying the burned data failed.
I have attempted 3 different times using the same media that worked prior to my upgrade to Snow Leopard. Prior to the upgrade I didn't have any problems.
Any help would be appreciated.

Same for me here...no luck with TDK DL DVD +R. Seems that this drive is extremely picky with DL supports (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1181990).

The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed?

I was wondering if anyone ever found a solution to this problem? This is the error message I get when I try to burn a DVD in iPhoto.
"The burn to the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06A drive failed. The disc drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry."
I am trying to back up all my photos in iPhoto to DVD. I am using iPhoto 11 and I currently run Mac OS X 10.6.8. I made about 10 DVD copies earlier before this problem started without any problems. Now I get this message all the time. I tried burning a movie DVD in iDVD and it worked with no problem so I do not think the DVD burner is defective. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can't share/play a music CD using Remote Disk. It's a limitation that Apple built in.
"MacBook Air and Mac mini do not support playing DVD movies or audio CD media with Remote Disc."
Remote Disk is limited to data transfers.
You will have to use the MBA external superdrive, or another compatible external DVD device hooked directly to the Macbook Air.
Otherwise, you will need to rip the CD's contents using your PC and transfer the music as data files.

My Macbook keeps saying 'The burn to the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-898 drive failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error.' everytime I try to burn a cd with data on it, it has only just started doing it after 2 years of use, how do I fix it?

Have you tried using a different brand of optical disk? (You don't say whether you are doing CDs or DVDs.) Some are better than others.

System recovery on Sattelite M70-204 PSM71E. The CD/DVD drive does not work

Hello!
Can you please give me some help and advice on the way to resolve the following issues:
I have had over the last three months minor problems with Windows Installer: software updates could not always be performed successfully, an error message was issued by Windows Installer regarding Quick Time when I started the computer. Apart from it, the computer was runing correctly. I had plan to restore the system with the Toshiba CD in the coming weeks to correct the issues.
But since yesterday, I have had a new problem. The CD drive is not recognized anymore under Windows XP.
I have tried to repair the driver from the CD drive following the procedure described by Toshiba. It did not work. I do not know if it is an hardware or a software problem which prevent me to recognize and use the CD and DVD drive under Windows XP and I do not know either if I can still run anymore a Restore process.
_*1/If I launch a Restore process, I believe that, at the start ,the HD will be formatted. How can I be sure that my computer will be able to read the data from the Toshiba Restore CD?*_ ( I have today a computer which still works almost properly. I would not like to be stuck with a completely dead computer, if the Restore process fails due to the CD driver)
_*2/ Is it possible to restore without using the internal CD drive? (use of an external CD drive or external HD)*_
Thank you in advance for your help and advice!

Please ignore my request!
I have been able to fix the problem by correcting the Register. The CD/DVD drive works now properly.

Mac Book Pro, Bad disk but I can't get the install DVD to work

I have a 13" macbook pro that started to have problems with different apps. They would crash immediately when you clicked on them. I ran disk utility repair permissions and everything was ok but when I went to verify the disk it reported that the drive was corrupt. I bought a new drive, installed the drive and inserted the Install DVD that came with the machine. After a few minutes I get a message "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button...." I tried using a Leopard install DVD and same problem. Originaly this machine came with SL but I figured since I am using a new disk (unformated I assume) that any OS install DVD would get me formatted and back to a point where I could connect with Time Machine and restore. I swapped out the RAM, HDD cable and DVD drive with another MPP with the same results. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks OrangeMarlin.
I have several MPP's. The one that is failing originaly came with SL. I don't have an SL disk so I attempted to use a Leopard to install a brand new disk drive. I would have thought that it didn't matter if it was SL or Leopard since it was a new disk (no reference of what was on it before). I could see an issue with compatability between a Intel OS on a G5 but SL vs Leopard on an Intel MPP should be OK. Thoughts?
The install DVD I am using "should" be the correct disk. I understand the sensitivity of using the disk that came with the machine. The reason I think this it is the ocrrect disk is it says 13" MPP and 10.6 for the OS which fits the description of what this machine had on it when it was purchased. I don't believe I have any other 13" machines with SL.
I also ran the diagnostics last eve. All passed.
I'm thinking of putting a working 10.5 disk from another machine into the failing machine and running Verify from the disk utility to see if I get the same error. If so, I would assume my disk controller is bad and need a new motherboard.

Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed

I get this error when trying to burn more than 1Gb of stuff to a DVD+R disc. or a DVD-R:
Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed.
Error Code 0x80020022
Any idea if my drive ***** or something?

Hi everyone, just thought I'd update the thread.
Last night i did a clean install of Leopard over the top of Tiger, and now the DVD drive works without the error. I was able to burn a full disk with no problem.
I thought, incase google bring someone here, I'd post my sequence of events incase it helps someone.
New MBP C2D migrated user from MBP CD
Could not burn disks on media of any format over about 1.5Gb
Put up with the problem as I couldn't afford to lose my MBP for 2 days while it was replaced by Apple.
Upgraded to leopard with formatting drive and clean install. I did not migrate the user, I just reinstalled the apps I wanted, synced my dotmac goodies, and copied over all my data folder by folder.
Result is a fully functioning DVD burner that burns without communication failure.
