I am getting error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn a DVD

Hi, I am running the latest Lion update, on my MB Pro, and keep getting the error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn a DVD. Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive. I see that many others have had the same problem, but relly cant seem to find anyone that has a solution that works.. Help

It's an error thrown by Mac OS X's DiscRecording framework (as opposed to an error communicated by the drive's firmware). The message is (as you probably saw)
"The burn failed because of a medium write error."
Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive.
I don't think there's one single cause for this error. It might be a dirty lens. It might be something else. Not all recordable optical discs work well with all burners. Try a different brand.

  • TS4522 What is the problem when I get error code 0 when trying to burn a DVD.  It stops around 60-some %.

    I have tried twice to burn a DVD, and both times I get error code 0 at about 60-some % of the transcoding.  I haven't had any trouble burning DVDs before now.

    I had a friend with similar problem, not sure of cause. Happened when sharing to Apple device as well.
    Apple said to delete all files in Render folder. We did not try that as-
    Problem changed slightly for us, in that Share to 'Apple device 720' got to 50% and pretended to have completed its operation, but no file found in Project Share folder.
    We found then, if the timeline clips where highlighted it would share, where previously it had repeatedly failed.
    Hope that helps

  • Error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn photos to a dvd disk. Please help.

    Im trying to burn photos to a DVD so my friend can view my pictures on their windows computer. There is only 371 pictures for a total of 1.72G of space. It starts to burn them, and then in the middle of the process I get an error code 0x8002006E and it stops, wasting my disk (I assume because the computer no longer recognizes it afterwards). So, I am now down by two DVD disks. What I did was, I made a folder on my desk-top and placed my photos in it from iPhoto '11. I did this because it said that's how to do it if you want your friend to be able to view them on a windows computer. Then, I closed iPhoto and right click on my folder (on my desk-top with the pics in it) and click burn.

    What speed are you burning at and what brand/type of DVD disk are you using?  Are you able to burn a CD?
    It could be a dirty laser in the optical drive.  Get a disk cleaning disk, one with dry brushes - no liquids and use it to clean your optical drive. Burn at the slowest speed available, 2X - 4X.  Use quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums

  • I get error code 0x8002006D when trying to burn images to dvd

    I purchased some Verbatim DvD-r's from the Apple store; I made an iPhoto burn that worked fine. However, I need a disk that I can open with anything, for archival purposes. I exported to an external HD, as well as to the disk itself from iPhoto, but I keep getting the error code. ANy ideas? Thanks!

    2 things there is Media available but you must be careful to read the packaging carefully.
    16X Maxell DVD-R reads that it will burn at 1X,2X,4X,8X, and 16X.
    Next there is a huge difference in Quality of the Media you purchase.
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
    As you see the Maxell is one of the highest in Quality.
    My advise is to always go for quality over price (cheaper) is one of the largest causes of burning problems.
    Another important thing to remember is DVD-R Media is the most widely used and recognised by the majority of computers (especially the older ones).
    http://www.videohelp.com/dvd
    Please understand there is not only a big difference in the Optical Drives installed in the different Apple Computers, but the Media, Speed and Format they are capable of using. This is the reason For the Media I suggest.
    It covers the correct format but covers the speed problem as well, for older and newer burners as well.

    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    wmv is a Windows Media format.  I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
    You need
    Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
    or play the files with VLC
    VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
    While you're at it you might install:
    Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
    Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
    Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
    Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).
