Help: Error Code burning DVD

Mac OS 10.8.4
iDVD 7.1.2
iPhoto 11 (9.4.3)
I have successfully converted an iPhoto slideshow to a quicktime movie which plays fine on the computer but refuses to burn to disk in iDVD.
I have also tried to burn with Disk Utility and Toast.
The error I get when burning is:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key=MEDIUM ERROR
SENSE CODE=0X0C
WRITE ERROR

It does sound like a burn issue but follow this workflow in order to isolate the encoding process from the burn process. This way you won't have to go thru the encoding process each time you try to make a successful burn.
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Error code burning DVDs

Hi
I have tried burning two DVD's, for two different files, using Toast and each time I get the following error code as soon as it's written the lead-in.
This is an error message from Toast:
'The drive reported an error:
Sense key = medium error
Sense code = 0x0C
WRITE ERROR'
I'm using Maxell DVDs, which I have used for a number of years, without issue. I have already had the drive replaced once and am no longer in warranty (and Applecare has run out).
I have read that it could be a simple case of cleaning the lens, but I have an iMac with a slot-loading superdrive, so didn't want to stick in one of those lens cleaning discs with the brushes on, incase it got stuck in the slot.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Guys,
Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem? I'm using Memorex DVD-R 16x. I have repaired permissions repeatedly, reset PRAM and tried burning at several different speeds. I have tried burning a dvd project directly from iDVD and also saved the project as a disk image and tried to burn it from Finder and Disk Utility. I also noticed that when I "GetInfo" on the blank DVD-R, the permissions state that the disk is blank and that I can read/write. However, when I open Disk Utility, it recognizes the disk as a DVD-R, but it is "read only." I CAN burn a regular audio CD-R from iTunes with no problems.
I believe I started having these problems when I updated from Tiger 10.10 to 10.11 (the last update before Panther was released).
I am officially out of ideas. I am next going to try a complete reinstall, BUT I am not going to update from 10.10 to 10.11 since that seemed to be when the problem began. Thanks.
Here's my drive info:

Error when burning DVD RW (Error Code 0x8002006E)

Works with DVD +R, -R, CDR... but it wont burn DVD+RW for some reason
I had this problem 3 years ago when it refused to burn CDs, and I had my ODD replaced with one of these
MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-857E:
Firmware Revision:          ZF1E
Interconnect:          ATAPI
Burn Support:          Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)

Write Strategies:          CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Media:          Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
So here I am again having the same problem - 'burning the disk failed because an unexpected error occured (Error Code 0x8002006E)
I tried both burning from Finder and disk utiilty. I tried quickly erasing the data on it, which was nothingnd when I tried to burn something it threw up this error - 'The disk can't be burned, because the devide failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media' (their bad grammer not mine)
So what is this a software problem or another faulty ODD?
I ran a hardware test recently and no problems were identified.

I just tried it again using a different account, same problem. I was burning DVD+Rs already today, then I went out and bought a packet of discs from tesco DVD+RW and they wont burn no matter which way I try it. I remember having this problem with Tesco CDRs 3 years ago when I sent my macbook in for repair, but I think I have used tesco discs since thren without problems. I've had trouble on two occasions reading music CDs as well + the drive is sluggish and noisy when inserting/ejecting discs.
Finding a lot of threads on this and not really much in the way of solutions. At best I've been able to ascertain that the problem is probably software related owing to the error code.
I don't know what else to try. I hope tesco take back this stack of discs that's probably got nothing wrong with them, I doubt Apple will refund me.
This computer has just turned out to be an endless source of problems and headaches.

Help, i cant burn dvds. I can watch a dvd or burn a cd but not a dvd

I have an intel 17 inch imac and a matshita dvd-r uj-85j. when I go to burn a dvd I get a “Untitled DVD” can’t be burned because the disc is read-only and can’t be modified (error code 0x80020042). But that is BS. Can you please help me?

Sorry if this is obvious, but reasons why the DVD might not burn include:
1. The DVD burning speed is at the maximum speed of the drive.
2. The DVD is of low quality. Never burn discs from anything other than Ritek, Taiyo, or Verbatim. Don't apply sticky labels to the DVD, and don't use markers. Buy DVDs that are stored in jewelcases, not spindles. Follow the standards set here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2446
These issues are all platform independent.
3. The DVD was already burnt before (multi-session DVDs as far as I know are only possible for data DVDs, not movie DVDs, though double sided DVDs allow a burn on each side).
4. The capacity of the burn file is at the maximum of the capacity of the disk (try a smaller capacity).
5. The burning software is old. Make sure the version you are using is tested with your operating system version.

Error when burning DVD

I just bought a Mac a few weeks ago, and have had some trouble burning DVD's. I have a G5 running 10.3.9, with a Pioneer Superdrive. I try to burn an image in Disk Utility, but get the error message "The disc is reserved for exclusive use by another application". When I try just burning files using finder, it says "This disc cannot be used". I have tried DVD-R and DVD+R. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi macaboo
Welcome to apple discussions. Just to add to the already excellent advice kindly provided to you by Fred Shippey;
I too have one or two suggestions:
First is to delete the plist for iDvd (but first quit the app). The plist is located in your preferences folder and looks like this (assuming the app has been launched at least once):
com.apple.iDvd.plist
Now try your iDvd project again. But if that too fails then ...
Delete encoded assets from the Advanced menu tab and then try the burn again.
That procedure looks like this. Hope this helps but if not just come on back. Good luck.

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?

Unknown Error While Burning DVD

I've had hit and miss issues burning DVDs from the timeline in PP CS2 in the past, usually resolved. This time, a consistant unknown error has come up at the same point in the burn process regardless of the project, duration or file type.
Since I will eventually install CS5 after my current project is complete, it isn't critical that I find a solution. I only use this feature to make test DVDs, but I am curios as to why this may be happening at the same point no matter what footage or project file I use. One thing I know, it isn't about basic system capabilities since I was able to burn projects, come back later (days or weeks later) without changing anything and not be able to burn the same project. This may be about cache, something taking up RAM or scratch disk size. Screen savers and all extra stuff have been turned off.

If CS3 gives you the option, write an ISO file, or DVD folder, and use Imgburn to do the actual disc writing

Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
Use Taiyo Yuden single layer or Verbatim Two layer Or Falcon Pro for inkjet printable Two layer

Error when burning dvd's

I have a satellite a305 with vista. I had been downloading torrents awhile back and got a nasty something because my computer went crazy. I managed to "fix" it except that the keyboard and mouse were nonresponsive. A usb mouse worked but no usb keyboard would install. Despite this, I was still able to burn dvd's.
Now, since it is unacceptable to NOT have a properly working keyboard I had to factory reset the computer. Now it all works great.
EXCEPT when I burn a dvd (dropping files to it....I haven't downloaded any 3rd party software) it starts to encode...gets to about 3.5% and then encodes super fast (usually burning a dvd takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours) and eject the disc after 30 seconds. A window pops up saying an error ocurred while burning the dvd. I am using memorex dvd-r discs. It did the same thing when I used my old disks (Sony dvd-r) but I assumed that since they were scratched a bit that must be causing an error.
I just want to make my DVD's. So frustrated!! I tried checking to see if Toshiba had a driver update I was missing since I did an out of the box reset, but they're screen to choose my laptop doesn't have my model available.
Any ideas for me?

Since Toast is not an Apple product, you should probably post your question on Roxio's discussion boards:

I think its becose of a large image that I am using. But I need it large to zoom out.
Anyone else has that problem? Any fixes?
I have the latest updates and last drivers for my GTX 460

Updates:
Now cuda is not even loading. All projectrs that I open say that the projecgt was last using mercery engine playback (or said differently ) and now it will be without hardware acceleration. So it's as if I dont have a valid GTX card.
I am starting to regret selling my gtx 285 to upgrade with this one. But, might not be a fault in the card. Besides the crash from the large picture (the original problem) Any one has any idea why now Premiere does not detect, or use my card?
Thanks
I need to re-cut a documentary for a festival in April and I am heavy on After effect stuff and plug ins use. I know hardware aceleration does not help with every types of effects but things are not playing smoothly at all. I guess I will have to lower the playback quality but with 24 G of ram, an i7 960 and Asus P6T pro mobo, raid cards... It should be a lot better then it is right now.

Help, Error Code -36

ok I keep trying to transfer large video files from an external Firewire hard drive to a my second internal hard drive. and after a while the file transfer stops because of Error code-36 It says "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "blank" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
few things to point out
All hard drives are formatted "Mac OS Extended (journaled)"
The files are video files ".mov"
The files are larger than 4GB
and it freezes after transfering 1.97GB

How is the external drive formatted, HFS or some windows format (FAT32 for instance)?
Check [here|http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/03/30/mac-os-tip-for- error-code-36] for a suggested solution, that may work.
Also, try trashing the Finder's pref file in the folder /Users/Library/Preferences. Find the file "com.apple.finder.plist", send it to Trash (empty the Trash, if you want) and reboot.
Also check the FW cable.

G5 Mac OS X (10.3.2)

Well, I've tried out all that I read from that link and nothing worked for me. I pretty sure that I did everything properly but I'm not sure. When I go into the "user/library/ applications support" folder, there isn't a folder that says script or bookmarks. So I created some within that folder and nothing happened for me. Is this the right procedure?
The only thing that I haven't done is restore my whole system, which I really don't want to do.
Am I doing something wrong and/or is there anything that you can think of that will help?

G5 quad buffer underrun error when burning dvd's

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.
4 x 2.5 Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) dvdsp 4.0.2

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 about 1/3 of the time. However, at 12X it has been quite reliable.
