See Bengt Wärleby's post in this topic: Multiplexing Error
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
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.

  • My matshita uj846 super drive wont burn dvd. get error

    my super drive wont burn dvd . and i get an error : sense key medium error sense code =0x73,0x03 for cd it work fine and read dvd ok just wont burn dvd of any kind tryed differrent makes but no result .. help pls

    Hi and welcome to the discussions!
    Google is your friend...
    I found this on a Roxio forum, but it offers the best advice I have seen anywhere about this error.
    Basically, it is most likely the media or the speed you are trying to burn at. It could be a few other things, but those are the most likely culprits.

  • Compare DVD-R burn quality by internal Super Drive to External DVD-R burner

    Has anyone compared the video 'quality' of a DVD-R burned using the internal Super Drive
    on my MacBook Pro (Windows 8.1 64 bit) to the same DVD-R burned using a standalone
    Sony DVD-R Recorder / player?  One would think the quality would be slightly better using
    a standard external DVD-R disc burner.

    I see no difference in the video quality.  Although I use a different external burner than your brand.  It's possible some external burners are better than the optical drives on a MacBook Pro or vice versa.

  • What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

    I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
    "not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
    I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
    Any suggestions?

    iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive.  How much free space do you have?

  • Problems burning DVD from iDVD disc image

    I'm burning a disc image onto a DVD using Toast and can't seem to get the disc to automatically start or be read by either my home DVD player or my Powerbook G4 (through DVD player). I'm a little unclear if I burn the .img folder onto the DVD, the mounted drive containing the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files, or the AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS files themselves. I've tried all of these and none have worked, which made me think that it was something wrong with my DVDproj file from whence the disc image was made.
    Do I have to have something in the box labeled "Drag content here to automatically play when disc is inserted" in teh MapView? I'd prefer it to just bring up the DVD menu.
    Thanks!

    Pre edit:
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • Cannot burn DVD (using iDVD, and iMac G5 with Superdrive)

    Hi. I'm trying to burn an iMovie onto a DVD-R (16x). I have an iMac G5 w/ Superdrive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K04F). I have plenty of available disc space. iDVD goes through the entire burn process, then at the very end it spits out the disc with these errors:
    The recording device reported the error #8: No additional sense information. (0x00, 0x00.)
    The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)
    Can someone PLEASE help me? What am I doing wrong?
    THANK YOU!

    Could be the brand of media you are using. Most users here find the most reliable to be Verbatim DVD-R.
    Also, try burning at a lower speed.
    Using 16x DVD media is fine - in fact it is difficult to buy any other - but there is a consensus in the Apple Support Forums that a slower burn is a better burn and that the most reliable brands are Verbatim, Maxell and Fuji, all DVD-R, burned at 2x or 4x (slow burns are better burns!). I always use Toast for burning.
    I generally use Verbatim and when I can't get those, Fuji, and have never had a coaster from either.
    Plenty of coasters in the early days from Sony, TDK and a few others.
    The term "Best" means the fastest speed that the drive told Toast it can write to a specific disc. The drive's firmware and info on the disc decide what speed burns are available. When you press the speed setting button in Toast (after inserting a disc) you'll likely see some speeds in italics and some in bold face. The ones in bold face are supported by that media on that drive. The fastest one is what Toast calls Best.
    Audio CDs in particular should be burned at the lowest supported speed.
    Verification is a good indicator the disc is burned okay. However, other DVD players can still have problems with the disc. Media problems with various drives is not uncommon. Slower burning may reduce the chance of those problems, and is one of the reasons why RW (read/write) media is always rated slower than DVD-R.
    There are some interesting facts here:
    http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm and here:
    http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm
    But many will tell you that the 'slower burn is best' theory is outdated. Who really knows? At the end of the day, if your home-made DVD was verified by Toast and will play anywhere on anybody's DVD player, then that is the result we are all after!

  • Cannot burn DVD from Premiere Elements 4

    I have Premiere Elements 4.  I am trying to burn a DVD of a slideshow I created in Photoshop Elements 6.  I have burned many copies of this DVD in the past month successfully, in PE4.  Now today all of a sudden it won't burn them any more.  When I click on "Share" and "DVD", a message says the program has encountered a problem and needs to close, and the program locks up.  Here is the detail of the error message:

    Hi Thresa,
    Forget about Premiere Elements 6 and use Premiere Elements 4, we still do on a new 64 bit Quad Core i7 Work Station Windows Professional and it runs better than ever. We have been doing HD 1920 x 1080 slide shows for 3 years, no problems burn to Blu -Ray or Export to Pro Tape.
    I did have a problem with a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz and hyperthreading , but, discovered I had 1,440 temp files slowing the system down. Try %temp% in Search and delete files if you have any ?

  • Super drive wont burn dvds

    when i click the burn symbol the disc will eject and say error 34, start up disc is full. i have 80 gb on my computer and 75 are used up. i have just had a new drive put in aswell as apple store said other one was stuffed. how can i unfill the start up disc and make work? thanks for any info on this, LC.

    Lydon,
    Per Narya's message, I don't think you have 6gb available....but there are several ways to confirm that. Since you have used Disk Utilities let's stick with that method...when you open Disk Utility any mounted disk, such as a hard drive, will be displayed. The first line is the mfr's model, etc along with the max capacity of the drive. The second line is the name you've give the HD. If you click the name, you will see the information at the bottom of that window display, among others, the Capacity, Available, and Used. Please confirm what you have available.
    In terms of freeing up space there a number things you can do. The easiest is to make sure you have emptied your trash bin(Cntrl-Click the Trash Bin and click 'Empty Trash'). See how much space is available now.
    So what's the deal with your other Hard drive...you mentioned in your first post? Is it external? Details.
    Re. Maintenance scripts..there are many posts on this topic...you can do via terminal or there's freeware that automates the job. OSX actually does this stuff but your computer needs to be on when the job is scheduled. Otherwise it will not run. So here are a few that allow you to schedule/run the scripts in a much easier fashion:

  • I was having problems burning DVDs' fro iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK?

    I was having problems burning DVDs' from iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault.
    I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK? I have seen these with SATA is this the correct cable for my mac?
    I have also tried the Mac superdrive but my imac wont recognise it as it's been configured for macbook air and mini mac. I know I can "make" it work by doing something or other in com.apple/plist, but dont want to mess about in there.
    I'm also told an external drive would work but does "mac compatible" mean only for air and mini as their own superdrive is or all macs?
    Any help appreciated before I convince myself mac is no better than windows pc!

    Thanks but this didn't really help.
    I can buy the drives at a dozen places but none of them seem to know what connection is correct (SATA etc) and that includes the apple store. It was the store who told me buy the superdrive and all my problems would be over. Wrong! It isn't recognised by imac as it's confifured for air and mini mac. Only way to make it work is as i said in earlier post. (Would you be happy buying a car you were told would start and then discover you have to open the bottome and fiddle to make it go?)
    The apple store I would not even consider taking it to. Days without the pc, over priced and don't have a good reputation for actually fixing things!
    But thanks

  • Is it possible at all to burn dvd in iDvd '08 ??

    My poor macbook was working like 2 days trying to burn dvd from iDvd '08 a project made in iMovie '08 that I've modified in iMovie HD. Project for 48 minutes, dvd dual layer 8.5 Gb, I have 9 GB free space, 120 Gb at all and 1.5 Gb of memory. It's burning about 3 hours than say: "Multiplexing and burning. Done.Time remaining: 0 minutes." And freeze !! I left for a few hours this process . And nothing. Like this 4 times already.
    I didn't use any application during burning, neither keyboard.
    Is there solution? Thanks.

    As Len stated, using DL is pointless in your own situation. Stay with SL as well as using either Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R while troubleshooting on this forum for best results. Hope this helps and good luck.

  • I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

    I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down  command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
    Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

    Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
    You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

    Apple doesn't support Blu-ray
    <http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/steve-jobs-calls-blu-ray-a-bag-of-hurt/>
    and (from hardmac.com):
    "Steve did not change his mind and still think that BD DRM are just inacceptable for mass and consumer market due to restrictions that make advantages look like non competitive. He admitted that retrospectively he feels ashamed that Apple’s name is associated to Blu-ray, as he thinks that BD supporting associations look today more like M*fia than anything else. Concerning authoring on Blu-ray, it seems impossible to provide software supporting such format for consumer market. In addition to DRM, here it is the cost of licenses that slow down the entire process; one would have to start paying 3,000 USD to AACS, then 80,000 USD to Sony, 40,000 USD to Sonic, etc. HE considers the Blu-ray as a “bag of hurt”."
    (* = a  The full M word is rejected.)
    but there is player software
    MCE includes a trial version of Blu-ray player software with their drive.  (It's out of date but will update to the current version.)

    I'm trying to burn a dvd from idvd but I keep getting error message, broken assets, but when I check my drop zones and their content there's no error messages on any of them?

    Hi
    And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
    No exclamation marks there either ?
    and non at the front page ?
    iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
    Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.
