I can't burn any DVD or CD - burning process interrupts before it ends

Hi everybody !
Sorry for my bad english, but I assume you're all aware about the frenches are not very good at english.
I've got the following problem: I can't burn any dvd or cd. I've already tried with different programs such as Sonic, Nero 7.0, and I Tunes, and I got every time a mistake wich interrupted the burning process before it ends.
So I don't know what to day ! I've already tried to re install the drivers, but it's didtn't change anything.
In order to help you, I've saved an error log from nero. I hope it could be helpfull to someone who could help me !
Here is the log:

Hi
The error log doesnt provide any very useful information.
According to this error log the simulation was running correct but the burning process was not started.
In such case its very hard to say why it happens. Possibly the drive is damage and cannot calibrate the lens properly or you use not compatible medias.
The burning process depands also on the fiels and data which youwant to burn.
Some data, CD, DVDs are encrypted and its not possible to burn and to copy it.
In other case you could also try to burn the medias with lower speed and not with 24x.
But in worth case you the drive has a malfunction and you have to replace it ;(

Can no longer Play DVD's or Burn Disks in on Macmini

Hi,
I have recently rebuilt my MacMini with a new WD500 Gb hard drive with Snow Leopard and that went fine.
One issue that maybe related is that I can no longer play DVD's or burn items to DVD. I have had a look in system profiler and can see the Pioneer drive in the ATA Device Tree.
When I insert a DVD, I hear the drive trying to run it but after a while it just spits the DVD out. If I insert a blank DVD, it recognises the DVD and I can select it to burn but when it starts the burning process it fails and again spits the disc out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gavin

http://www.macsales.com/ has numerous good optical drives. http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ may list others.
Note for 2 USB port Mac Minis (as opposed to 4 or 5 on the rear), be sure to get a Firewire optical drive, as Mac OS X won't boot USB on PowerPC Macs except in rare USB model drives that are hard to find.

G5 Quad won't burn ANY DVD faster than 4x

I can't find a firmware update for the Pioneer DVR110D in my Mac. I never really paid much attention to how fast it was burning because it was only occasional use, but now I'm burning a lot of edited video, and it makes a big difference. I've tried Philips, Memorex, Sony, TDK, Ritek, Taiyo-Yuden and HP and can't get ANY of them to burn at the drive's rated speed. Some will only burn at 2x! Doesn't seem to matter if they're 4x, 8x or 16x. DL-DVDs only burn at 1x instead of 2.4. It's maddening.
If I'm making discs from images with Disk Utility all speed choices are grayed out, and I get what I get. Three consecutive discs off the stack may give me dupes at 1x, 2x and 4x.
There's a firmware update to 1.41 on Pioneer's site for the 110D, but it won't work on this drive. I've tried putting it in my PC, and it shows in Pioneer's drive identifier utility as a 110D, but the firmware update utility itself won't run because it says it can't find a compatible drive.
We had many problems with the Matsushita drives in our G5 iMacs not recognizing faster media, but a firmware upgrade at the Genius bar fixed those. Is there anything available for the Pioneer. The site only turns up two DVD firmware updates, neither of which applies to this drive.

Hi yakkyakk-
It is quite possible the drive is simply dirty. You could try a lens cleaning kit. It is also possible that the drive is failing.
For any serious burning an external is the way to go. I always consider the internal drive for occasional use. If you want to upgrade the internal drive yourself it is quite easy and you can buy an internal drive for around 40 bucks.

I can't find the dvd after windows 7 installing,onhp pavilion dv2700. can't run any dvd.

Dear Customer,
Welcome to HP Support Forum and we are glad to assist you.
It looks like you are not able to Boot into the Operating System on your Notebook.
We will surely assist you with this.
Originally the Notebook will have the Recovery Partition and that would give you an option to create a set of Recovery Disk. If you have not created those Recovery Disks when the Notebook was in working condition we cannot do that right now
As of now if you need to recover your Notebook with the new Operating System you can check if the Recovery Partition
is in a working condition or not, If yes you can easily recover/restore your Notebook
If Recovery Partition is corrupted
You need to call HP Technical Support and request for a set of Recovery Disks , So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
OR
You need call up Microsoft and purchase an Operating System with the License Key, So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
I strongly recommend you to Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance without any delay
Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

HP dv6263cl DVD Rom unable to burn any dvd

dear hp/support team mates:
i have purchased HP 6000 series notebook in Oct -07 and i m satisfied with its performance. intially i didn't have any data to burn on the dvd rom. but with passage of time i have data which requires backup on dvd rom. now the problem i m facing is i m unable to write/burn any data on blank dvd's which are available in open market.
i have changed different brands of dvd rw and used multi softwares to burn the dvd. everytime i get the error its dvd fault which is unable to have write on it. now i m not technical person but if proper guidence is transfered then i m able to diagnose the issue.
the error i get is .. The disc in the drive is not writable disc or it is full. Please insert a writable disc in drive.
now waiting for the response from your end.

Can you play a movie dvd? In other words is the dvd drive otherwise operational? If you have never reloaded the operating system after 2.5 years that would be the place to start. After all that time it is very possible the registry or other part of software is corrupted. You also say you have installed multiple disk burning software installations. That can pose a problem. I would ask you to recover it to factory state or better yet install a new clean copy of Windows 7 so we can properly isolate potential hardware issues from software issues.
We are not official HP people by the way just users who volunteer to help.
I am assuming you have Vista but if that is wrong let us know.

Satellite A30 CDRW-DVDRW (Mat****a) drive can't recognize any dvd

Hi!
I own a Satellite A30-303 with a optical drive MAT****A UJ811 (CDRW-DVDRW).
Everything worked just fine until last week the drive stopped reading any DVD. A error message saying that there is some problem with E/S is displayed. CDs are recognized with no problems though.
I tried to find updated drivers for the DVD driver but I couldn't get any.
Please does anyone have an idea of what that might be and how to solve it??
Thank you!!
Alex

Hello
On this way it is always not simply to say what the problem can be. Like littco wrote check if there is some virus or any kind of malware. It is also possible that there is some technical problem and the drive can not calibrate on the right way.
I really dont know what you mean with E/S but you can try to remove the device from device manager and restart the unit. The last thing that you can try is to reinstall the unit using recovery CD. On this way the unit will be absolutely clean. If the problem persist there is obviously malfunction and the drive must be replaced.
By the way; have the same opinion like littco.
Bye

When burning a dvd an error message comes up before the burning even begins

That is of course, if I can get the comp to read the DVD first.

Let me see if I can help out.
Just because your drive says it is capable of 8X doesn't mean it will burn at 8X.
Depending on what you are using to try to burn with in the way of software, I suggest you burn at a slower Speed. like 2X. Apples Software is entry level and it works but many users find harder to use than the top of the line in burning software like Roxio's Toast 7.
Here is the explination on the different DVD's.
http://www.videohelp.com/dvd
Just bear one thing in mind.
When it comes to DVD Players, Formats, and Burners, of the hundreds of different manufactures, All are opting to be the Industry Standard, and it appears they insert there little chinks that almost force users to use there products exclusively.
There is always a backlash from these marketing ploys.
In a perfect world you would think any DVD would work in any DVD Player and Computer but sorry it is not so there are so many things that come into play. Format, Speed, Brand, Software used. Any one or combination can affect the process.
The problem is multi-dimensional.
First check in your particular profiler on EXACTLY what type(FORMAT) of DISK's your burner will burn.
Next please do not just randomly go out and buy a spool of 30 50 or 100 disc's because they are on sale.
There is a HUGE difference in the type format disc's you buy
There is also a HUGE difference in the BRAND you choose, some are junk.
There is also a HUGE Difference in the SPEED of the media you choose.
If any one or a combination of any of the 3 mentioned above can cause burn error's or no burn at all or spit the disk out.
So it is a good idea to do a little homework on your Optical Drive and see just exactly what it is capable of and what it will use for media.
(ONE LAST NOTE)
Many of the Media Manufactures are becomming aware that many of the Apple Burners are having trouble with there Media. Maxell has just come out with a brand new one that is. Maxell 16X DVD-R.
The key is read the packaging. this new media tells you that it will burn at any speed from 1X through 16X, and it works very well on the older Optical Drives. I also opt to use the individual that include the cases there seems to be much better quality, not like that of the spools.
Remember Apples Drives to date are much pickier than those used in the PC community.
Cheers Don

Burned one DVD but cannot burn a second

I successfully "burned" one DVD-R using the "burn" selection within iPhoto. I maxed out the 4.7 GB of DVD disk space and put most of my library on it. When I went to burn a second DVD with the rest of the photos that I didn't get on the first disc, I keep getting the following message (note that I get this EXACT message regardless if I try to burn one photo or hundreds):
INSUFFICIENT DISK SPACE - There is not enough free space on the selected volume to perform the library export. it is estimated that you need at least an additional 2597.94 GB of space
It tells me I need that amount of space even if I select one photo.
I tried closing iPhoto. I tried rebooting. I tried a different blank DVD.

First try repairing disk permissions with Disk Utility. Next, boot into Safe Mode and try there.
Lastly, backup the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Application Support/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.

Can't burn any DVDs on external firewire drive

Since I installed OS 10.4.9, neither DVDSP or toast titanium will recognize a "stable connection" to my external firewire lacie recorder... the message I get from toast is:
1. Interface Error: -50
The connection is not stable
2. The drive reported an error:
SENSE KEY = Illegal request
SENSE CODE = 0x30, 0x50
CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM, INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT
And I've been using the same media for years, without a problem.
But if I connect this device to another laptop or desktop, it'll work fine.
It still can burn CDs, and read every format. But just can't burn DVDs.
DVDSP gives me the same problem. I can use my internal burner but it's slower than using my external drive.
Ideas?
Thanks.

Have you tried using ntfs-3g?
That's the first time I've heard about ldm, but its readme https://github.com/LemonBoy/ldm says it only automounts stuff, nothing about rw support for every existing filesystem.

yeah everything works now thanks again

Now my superdrive won't burn any DVDs. Can someone help please?

Hi.
I mentioned earlier in the 'won't burn dvd' topic that my Superdrive wouldn't burn DVD-Rs, saying there was a fault in the burning and the multiplexing.
Now it's spitting out my DVD+Rs as well. As a film student at a college that likes DVD submissions, this is terribly inconvenient. The computer gets as far as encoding everything, then spits out the disc as the burning begins.
I have tried completely re-loading my system, but still have a problem. Is anyone else having this problem and can they help me. Time is of the essence!
Many thanks.
PS. Check my post on 'won't burn dvds' for more info!

Ok. As an addendum, I reset the PRAM and PMU. I also repaired disk permissions. I can burn DVD+R again at 2.4x speed. When burning, DVD-R, however, it spits out the disk and states (when I try to burn on its stated maximum speed of 2x): 'Unable to burn to "disk3" - The device failed to calibrate the laser power for this media..'
I'm not sure what that implies beyond the obvious: is there some sort of power control issue I need to deal with on the system?

I can't burn any DVD or CD - burning process interrupts before it ends
