M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker

Hi,
My M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.
I have also had problems burning CDs (unbranded) from Windows XP, built in utility.
Does the multidrive have problems, with cheaper brand disks?
Just to note,
The laptop has been back to the support guys three times so far with various issues.
(1) The hard drive failed.
(2) The multidrive failed.
(3) The motherboard got replaced, because of power failures, it wouldnt charge the battery or recognise that the power adapter was plugged in.
Note: The harddisk, not the exhaust fan makes the most noise in mine!
Thanks

Hi
As far as I know the preinstalled burning software (i.e. record now, drag ndrop) disabled the Windows XP burning option. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you should to enable this possibility.
Please go to driver properties (right click). Please select the Recording tab. The option Enable CD recording on this drive should be marked.
I use the Nero burning software and in my opinion its a one of the best burning programs. Furthermore you should try different CD/DVD manufacturers because some CDs and DVDs are not compatible with some drives. Check the TDK CDs and DVDs. I never had any problems with these medias.
Best regards

  • Will Not Burn DVD: Error code 0x8002006D

    Hello
    I have a 12" PowerBook G4 fitted with a SuperDrive running Tiger 10.4.11. My machine will still play & burn CD's it will still play DVD's but it will not burn DVD's.
    When trying to burn a DVD it comes up with following message:
    Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred
    (Error code 0x8002006D).
    I am trying to burn using Verbatim DVD-R, which I have successfully used in the past.
    Any ideas what the problem is, and are there any possible solutions?
    Thanks for any help.

    I've never had any issues with it either, I still think it's a good utility.
    For burners, an external would be easiest to use as it plugs into a port on the machine. The lacie burners are ok, overall decent software & firmware support. I tore my apart to use the drive in a G4 tower, software all still works!
    Get one that can use firewire & usb. the PPC will boot from a firewire external DVD & it could also be used later, if needed, on a machine that doesn't have FW.
    Another option is macsales.com here in the States sells the exact same slot drive apple does for about $90. They do ship internationally, about $25 USD to London. If you want an internal solution this would be the way to go.

Why should I have to buy every upgrade that come out? I can live with that, sort of, but why can't I burn a data DVD? I looked for a new driver but there does not seem to be one for Leopard. will I have to buy iLife 09 to bun a DVD?

  • Installed New DVD burner, but it will not burn DVDs

    I just installed a new Pioneer DVR-112D DVD burner but when I try to burn a DVD with iDVD 4 it will not burn a DVD. It looks like iDVD 4 will get to stage 4 of the process but it will not finish burning the DVD. Can anyone help me out?
    Thank you

    If you don't have Tiger, or iDVD 6 or higher, you will need PatchBurn

  • Loud noise when burning CD and will not burn DVD

    I bought an iMac a week ago and have been trying to burn DVDs - from finder, toast, popcorn and i have tried different brand DVDs and +R & -R all to no avail. i get a error message everytime.
    I can burn CDs, but it makes a really loud whirring sound (i mean unhealthy loud) throughout the whole burn process and then for a few minutes afterwards.
    Has anyone else experienced these problems? It doesn't sound normal.

    It's probably a media problem. I had a 100 pack of Verbatim CD's that vibrated and made a loud noise in mine. Like it was out of balance. They worked fine in other burners.
    If another brand does the same thing, then I'd be concerned.

  • Transfer of Video from Windows Movie Maker to PE7

    Hi,
    I put together my first video using Windows Movie Maker, and the audio tracks are wma files. I just got Premiere Elements 7 and want to transfer the video to it from Movie Maker, but I understand that in PE7 audio files should be either mp3 or wav.
    Is there a way to make the transfer so that I'll be able to burn the video to DVD after getting it into PE7?
    Thanks!

    Why not export from Windows MovieMaker as DV-AVI.... (See this FAQ on exportinmg from WMM as DV-AVI http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0) then bring this into PE7. Note sometimes you can have audio issues with the type 1 DV-AVI that WMM produces. In this case use the free DVDate (http://paul.glagla.free.fr/dvdate_en.htm) to convert the type 1 to type 2... it is very fast and lossless.

  • Can Encore 2.0 import file from Windows Movie Maker?

    I have just purchased and installed Encore 2.0, so I am a true novice. I have a few movies I created using Windows Movie Maker and wanted to import them into Encore 2.0; however, when I try to do so I get a message telling me that "the software used to decode is not available on this system." Is there away for me to fix this problem, or is Encore not capable of importing these files?
    Thanks for any help!!!

    Actually, Encore does support WMV files. I just imported an AVI into Movie Maker and exported it as a WMV file at the default settings and it imported fine into Encore.
    Apparently there's something about the WMV files in question that Encore doesn't like, however. From the error message I'd suspect that the codec used to export the file is missing. Is the system you're running Encore on the same system you used to export from Movie Maker? If not, you might want to try loading your Movie Maker project files onto the same system and re-exporting them. Also double-check that the settings for the exported movie correspond to a legal video format (although you'd probably get a different error message if that was the cause).

  • N500 Optical drive will not burn DVD's

    When I try to burn a DVD +R with the internal Optiarc DVDRW DL in my N500, the drive acts like it is trying to read the disc and then ejects it and asks for a disc. I have tried several discs, each with the same result. I was able to burn DVD's from the same spindle with no problems on other machines.
    The drive reads DVD's and will burn a CD.
    Any clues as to what could be done to fix it?
    If it's not fixable, can I get a replacement DVD drive. I cannot find one on the Lenovo parts and accessories web pages.
    Thanks,
    Tim Holmes

  • DVD burner will not burn DVD-RW

    CPU=Athlon 2000+
    RAM=512MB  10ns
    PSU=300W 240V
    HD=Western digital 80GB 8MB cache ( WD800JB)
    Motherboard=MSI K7n2g-L
    Bios=4.1
    VGA=Nvidia on board
    VGA_Driver=6.13.10
    Optical_Device=liteon SOHW-1653S
    Other=NIL - OS is Win XP
    I have a problem with my liteon DVD burner installation. Its a recently released model SOHW-1653s.
    The drive has been installed and works fine for DVD-R single write DVD's and CD-R and CD-RW but will not erase or write to DVD-RW media. The errors I get differ when I try various DVD-RW media brands. from "illegal disk type "  to " illegal mode for this track "
    I put the drive in a socket 370 Celeron running Win 98 and it will burn both DVD-R and DVD-RW OK.
    So in desperation, I then shadowed the harddrive on my MSI machine and reformated and reinstalled Win XP.  The drive will still not recognise DVD-RW. I also tried various combination of media. mucking around with the IDE BIOS settings, changing around the drive from master slave configs and have uploaded the latest drive firmware and motherborad firmware. I contacted Liteon technical support and they advised to remove the nforce MCP IDE driver in leiu of a default one, but im not sure that is possible not to mention it probabaly would comprmise system performance.
    The problem is obviously with the motherboard. Can anyone advise what steps to take to remedy the fault?
    Thx

    Thx Wonkaboy.
    Well I didn't roll back ( to an nvidia dirver ) I went back to standard dual channel IDE driver - the XP provided one and the burner started to work. phew! Albeit at 2x DVD-RW instead of 4x. Not sure why that is....
    Then I thought what the heck I'll try the nvidia driver that I had installed on the machine before I wrote the original thread. And guess what it also works. Im not sure what happened. Maybe a dll was not installed or something. I have spent 2 days on and off with all sorts of variations of hardware configurations including an OS reinstall. Anyhow it's working now and thats
    PS: The driver that MSI provides is different to the one obtained by going directly to the Nvidia site. ie the nvidia one is 5.10.2600.412 dated 1/13/2004. And the one provided by MSI is 6.1.2600.0 dated 5/13/2002. Im now using the later one. I cannot say if the earlier one works.

  • IDVD 5.0.1 will not burn DVDs...

    I just finished installing all my programs: (MAC Office OSX, Studio MX 2004, Toast 5.1.3, and Audacity) also downloading and installing all the Apple recommended updates to Tiger, including the latest "security update".
    I then ventured to Burn a DVD... I used 11 separate video clips (DV - Downloaded to iMovie from a JVC Video Camera), non of which were over 1.2 GB... Then I proceeded to create the Menus and buttons and used one of the "motion" backgrounds... I also added 70 still images into a slideshow...Total project size = 3.5 GB.
    I tried to burn the DVD many times, but each time when it reached the burning stage, as it was writing the "Lead-in", it popped up a window: "The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry."
    I did get it to make a "disk Image" (.img), and this played great from my G5, but when I tried to use the Disk Utility to burn to DVD, the result was the same. It popped up a window: "The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry."
    Any thoughts or help with what may be the problem would be most appreciated.
    Perhaps I should upgrade "Toast"?
    G5 Dual QUAD Mac OS X (10.4.3) just purchased - 12/12/2005

    Thanks for the insight, but I discovered it was not the Super Drive.
    As it turns out I took the advice of another post to this site about obtaining a program called, Mac Sweeper. You can find it here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13200
    This found a few different errors most of which were permissions, some associated with Macromedia Studio MX 2004.
    So I was able to burn a DVD from my finder, and I used the Disk Utility in OSX Tiger to burn the ".img" file I created from iDVD.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Combo drive will not burn DVDs

    My original internal DVD Drive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104) is not recognized to burn DVDs. I can burn CDs just fine. When I insert a DVD-R into the tray, the computer searches for the drive and I get the message " Waiting for the drive" followed by the DVD disc being ejected and the message "Waiting for the disc to be inserted." If I insert a CD, the drive works flawlessly. I have no clue where to begin to correct this problem!

    Some of these SuperDrives (not a Combo) appeared to develop
    defects, sometimes coincidentally after an upgrade to Tiger, but
    not necessarily so related. Could be the optical drive has defects.
    Will the computer boot from an OS X installer on DVD, so as to
    use the Option key on boot to see if you can select the Apple
    Hardware Test (as shipped with Macs whose original OS was
    on a DVD boot install disc) - or if on CD, run the original Apple
    Hardware Test to see if it shows any defect? There may also
    be some cryptic log entries in the system reflecting the action
    you observed; and that may be helpful in diagnosis.
    And in a few cases, a repetitive cleaning of the optical drive's
    lens may help it recognize DVDs; they are different than CDs.
    There are third party replacement optical drives that can be
    used to correctly repair, update or upgrade the older iMac.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Finder/Disc Utility/Toast Will Not Burn DVD+R, DVD-R

    I have an iMac that will no longer burn DVDs. I've tried various brands of DVD+R, DVD-R and DVD+R DL all of them do not burn in the finder, disc utility, or Toast. CDs burn fine. DVD+R DL discs burned previously with this machine will no longer mount. I just wiped the hard drive and reinstalled OS X and ran all updates and still have the problem.
    Media brands tried: OfficeMax, TDK, Maxell, JVC, Sony.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Disk Utility will not burn DVDs

    Disk Utility will no longer burn DVDs. I have tried both Memorex and Verbatim DVD+R DL -- Disk Utility tells me the disks are locked, not writable, capacity 0. These are fresh DVDs right off the spindle. I am, however able to write to these same DVDs using Burn, so it's not a media problem. Tried deleting preferences for Disk Utility, tried using Drive Genius 2 to repair the HD, but it didn't show any problems. Any solution short of doing a clean install of the system?

    Hi-
    Will the drive read any discs?
    Have you tried burning a disc at slower speed?
    Have you tried a different, quality brand of disc?

  • DVD Studio Pro will not burn DVD in Lacie D2 External DVD Burner

    I ordered a new pack of DVD's. These are the Beall 16x DVD's I bought from Meritline.com. I had been using the 8x Beall's with no problem. I was told that my interal drive was not compatable with the faster burning DVDs. So I bought a LaCie D2 External DVD burner 16x. I still can't burn a dvd in dvd studio pro. I tried Patchburn. It said that this burner is already supported.
    I am using DVD Studio Pro 2.
    Any ideas?

    Have you tried burning on other types of brands when burning to your external LaCie? My company bought a NEC external DL burner and it only worked with some type of discs, Maxell DVD+R DL worked but Traxdata DVD+R DL and some other Noname disc didnt work, maybe try that?
