Hardware Error When Burning a CD or DVD

I keep getting the following error when I try to burn a CD or DVD via my internal burner....
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = HARDWARE ERROR
Sense Code = 0x09, 0x02
FOCUS SERVO FAILURE
Using Toast 6 Titanium 6.0.7
Any suggestions.....?

Check on firmware update for your drive and different media is where I would start.
I think it may be a media problem as well...on numerous occasions when I insert a blank CD the drive will spin a few times the eject the CD....
I'm guessing I can find the firmware update via the Apple Support section..?

I would upgrade your Toast software to the latest because the version you are currently running is not coded to run on an Intel Mac or even 10.4 for that matter. Toast 6.1 was the first version compatible with 10.4 and Toast 7.1 was the first Intel compatible version.

Thx...I was not aware I needed Toast 7.1....my current version has worked in the past so I thought I was OK....

Hardware Error when burning DVD's

I keep getting an error message when burning DVD's using Toast Titanium on my iMac..it reads:
"Drive Reported an error, Sense key = hardware error, sense code = 0 x 03."
Twice after getting that message I couldn't continue to burn and it stopped, once it did continue to burn and finished successfully. Any ideas, anyone?
17" iMac G5 w/ iSight Mac OS X (10.4.3) upgraded to 1GB RAM

I get the same message today when burning from Toast 7.02 on my iMac. It happened when I was trying to make an audio CD from my iTunes collection (not when Copying from CD to CD). The exact message I got in the middle of my burn was:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = hardware Error
Sense Code = 0x03, 0x01
I tryed again with another CD and got the same thing. I never had a problem with these CD's (TDK CD-R up to 48x).
I wonder if there has to be some sort of software upgrade fro Roxio Toast or is this a superdrive malfunction/etc. My Superdrive gets very loud during this burn as well. I may take it in to Apple Genius Bar. Any ideas?

Hardware error when burning dvd

i am using DVD Studio Pro as well as iDVD to try and burn a project i created. i have also tried simply burning files to a DVD in Toast Titanium. i am well below the 4.7 gig limit for the project, all the video files are mpeg2 and ready to go. the entire "burn process" runs until the actual burning is supposed to take place. just recently i got this error message:
hardware error
tracking servo failure 0x09, 0x01
i have a 8x SuperDrive and i am trying to use Phillips 1-8x DVD+Rs. does anyone have a solution to this problem? i am beginning to get frustrated.

All the super drives seem to exhibit problems, at least some of the time with some media, especially at the highest burn rate. There is a work around. In DVD Pro, "format" with the output device set to disc and the format to ".img". When this is finished, open Disk Utility and "convert" the .img file to a CD/DVD master (.cdr). This file can then be used to burn to a blank DVD. If you click the options arrow in the burn dialog before beginning the burn, you can select a speed other than "maximum". Not elegant, but it works. My HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B DVD drive only succeeds at burning at its maximum rate (16x) about 1/3 of the time. However, at 12X it has been quite reliable.

Hardware error when Burn DVD

Hello,
I am using DVD SP 4.1.2 and when I go to burn my DVD, it burns for a while, then comes up with this error message:
"The recording device reported the hardware error: Tracking servo failure (0x09, 0x01.)"
What does this mean? Is my iMac's DVD burner gone bad? Or is it the DVD+R? (I'm using the Office Depot DVD+R 16x) Or is it my settings? MPEG-2 SD SD DVD Standard, NTSC, 4:3 Aspect Ratio, Drop Frame, Field Order Bottom, Two Pass VBR, Bit Rate 4 to 7 Mbps, Motion Est. Best.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Sincerely appreciative,
Paul

Either drive can have issues or can be the media, check out this thread, you may want to try new media as a start

Encoding error when burning mp4 videos to dvd-rw using idvd

hi all, i'm trying to burn mp4 videos on a blank dvd. i used the magicdvd option in idvd 08 but the error message of "encoding error" had appeared before it burned the videos to the dvd. could you please let me know if mp4 is not supported by idvd? i heard i must convert mp4 to mpeg-2 in order to watch it with regular dvd player, can i do that with mpeg streamclip? is mpeg-2 supported by idvd? thanks!

Hello Alarkin,
is there a free alternative to toast?
Yes, it's Disk Utility - just follow this procedure:
1. create the disk image in iDVD
2. double-click the resulting .img file to "mount" it. Next launch DVD Player to view your DVD .... if everything is fine, close DVD Player and eject the virtual disk.
3. Open Disk Utility and drag the disk image into the left hand pane, then hit burn.
Note: Set the burn speed to 2x or even 1x. Most burn errors are the result of high burn speeds. Also use only high quality DVD-R media (e.g. Verbatim)
hope this helps

Memory allocation error when burning in premiere elements 2

I have premiere elements 2. I happily burnt a version of my dvd then suddenly it stopped burning and I had the above message during the burning section of the process. My computer has adequate memory to run this programme and nothing new has been added. I then downloaded Premiere elements 7 as a trial and burnt this Dvd yesterday. However today it won't burn through 7 either so i am reluctant to upgrade unnecessarily. Can anyone shed light on why I receive this error message.
Other things seem to burn but I am beginning to receive messages that Adobe is low generally on memory allocation.

Erika

Power calibration error when burning?

I get a power calibration error when burning from IDVD.
Any suggestions as to how to fix it?

Basically a power calibration is the drive writes to the blank and then tries to read it back and adjusts the laser power accordingly to get a proper burn. So there are a number of reasons you might get this problem.
One is the media itself. A bad disc or poor quality media might give you this error.
Next, you may have a dirty laser and running on of those cleaning CDs (they have little brushes on them to dust off the laser) might do the trick.
Third, could be a laser on the drive is giving up the ghost. Hopefully it is not the last one.

Title resolution degraded when burning an iMovie to DVD

When burning an iMovie to DVD via iDVD using the Share menu, the resolution of the titles is significantly degraded on the DVD whether seen on my computer screen or on my HD (1080) TV. As a result, while the video quality itself is quite good, the end product overall is inferior owing to low resolution titles. I have not found a way to fix this. Is there something I'm missing, or am I stuck with this inferior result?

Part of this is going from 1080P to 480P.
But if you are using SHARE/iDVD, try using SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER in Large size. Then, in iDVD, drag the movie into your project from the Media Browser.
Note: You can experiment with sharing in 1080P if your source material supports it. I have found personally that Large works for me.

G5 quad buffer underrun error when burning dvd's

4 x 2.5 Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)
i just tried to burn a dvd from dvdsp and keep getting a error. it is
Sense Key=ILLEGAL REQUEST
Sense Code = 0x21,0x02
Buffer Underrun
i tried using toast as well with the same result. my dvd drive is also making a lot of noise when it trys to burn. i was able to burn a dvd (data files) using the finder and the dvd burner doesn't make the same noise. i've seen this problem in other discussions and still don't have a sense of what is causing this. some have mentioned bad media, but why would the dvd burner work through the finder and not through dvdsp? or toast?
could this be a software bug or bad hardware?
any help would be appreciated.

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 when burning DVD - no plugin DLLS

When burning a DVD I get an error message that says Plugin Coder error : no plugin DLLS. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

They do but aren't cheap.
Look at SuperMediaStore.
You might be able to find them cheaper. I was just checking to see if they make them.

Error when burning DVDs

I get a L-EC uncorrectable error. (0x11, 0x5.) error when trying to burn a very short (30second) movie onto DVD. The DVD ejects and, when it next is inserted, doesn;t appear on the desktop. Any ideas boffins???

Try Verbatim DVD+R disks. If they burn it's the media and with Sony DVD-R I suspect it's likely to be the disks.
