My superdrive won't burn image files to a dvd plus r disk

I am trying to burn some .jpg images to a DVD+R disk and I am unable to do it. I am following instructions found online (e.g., step 1: insert disk, an icon should appear, etc.), I don't even get the icon for an inserted disk on the desktop

If I put the dics into my DVD Player, it plays just fine. If I insert it into a computer, it opens the disc like a memory stick or something: I can open the files, but it won't play via Macs DVD Player. Can I do something so Macs will recognize the disc as a Dvd?

Imac won't burn images to DVD?

We have a new imac (OS10.8.3) with superdrive. I can burn music CD's fine, however I have a large amount of image files that need backing up to DVD. Im using Sony DVD-r 4.7GB DVD's. When I open the DVD in Finder and add the files and then click burn, a message appears the tells me the files are too big and to use a larger disc. The folder Im currently trying to burn is only 500MB, so should fit on the disc fine! Any ideas?

Sorry, that should read the file is 50MB!

Both Superdrives won't burn DVDs or CDs

Hello everyone. I'm having a serious problem. Both of the Superdrives in my MacPro (1.1) will not burn DVDs or CDs. They read discs just fine. They just won't burn -- in ANY program (DVD Studio Pro, Finder, iDVD).
I have scoured the forums to answers to this problem, and NOTHING has worked. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
Here is a list of things I've tried:
Disc cleaner
Reducing burning speed
Different DVD media. I've tried every brand and speed out there. Verbatim, Memorex, Sony, generics, etc.
Re-install operation system. The issue started on Leopard. A reinstall didn't help. I'm not on Snow Leopard and having the same problem.
Checked connections. (all plugs are snug)
Some thoughts:
I find it hard to believe that this is a case of bad superdrives. They both stopped working at the same time.
I have an external firewire burner that works just fine.
Thanks for whatever help or advice you can provide!

I'm not sure if we can post links to other mac forum threads, but I found this:
Open System Preferences.
Click on "International"
Under "Languages": Drag any of the other languages to the top,
then drag English back to the top.
Set "Order for sorted lists" to English
Set "Word Break" to English (United States, computer)
Close System Preferences
Restart computer
What you can try is typing the exact phrase of the error message into google... in parentheses, and you will find a lot of hits, and maybe the answer. Good luck!
PS... I know the "fix" above sounds like nonsense, and it might be, but several claimed it worked...

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?

Won't Burn Music File

Suddenly, I can't burn any of my audio files.
When I insert the blank CD it initializes it then it "finishes burning" then
I get the message that it wasn't able to burn the file.
I tried a several music files. I don't think I've past the burn limit because
some of these files aren't Itunes.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.

CD drives have always had a fairly high failure rate compared to other components. I wouldn't imagine anyone is the only one with a media drive issue.
There are usually four questions: is it the media (meaning the cd's themselves, since some batches just don't work)? is it the drive itself? is there a bug in the software (less likely)? is there corruption in the driver software? It is often, unfortunately, the drive.

Hi,
Can you please tell us your operating system and why you want to burn them to CD.
For example, on a Windows system, if you just want to save a copy of the images to CD then you could use the organizer. Select the images you want to copy, go to the File menu and select Copy/Move to Removable Drive. Do NOT check the Move option as this would the remove the images from the hard drive.

How to burn VOB files onto a DVD?

Hello everyone, I've seen this question asked in other forum postings, but I can't seem to find the specific answer I'm looking for. Basically, I have several VOB files that I want to burn onto a DVD that I can play in a regular DVD player. Can anyone please recommend any applications that would be good to do this? I appreciate any help and support I can get, thanks!
ibook Mac OS X (10.4.10)
ibook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If have the complete set of VOB files for a DVD, put them in a folder named "VIDEO_TS" and use DVD Imager
<http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html>
to make a .dmg file that can be burned to a DVD.

Burning Large File to Multiple DVDs

I am trying to burn a large group of files to multiple DVDs. I have Roxio Toast at work and all I do is drag all the items into the CD and it tells me how many DVDs it will require and asks me for the next one when the first is done. Pretty easy. I dont have toast at home and am wondering how to do that with the default built in burn software.
I did a search, but my search skills are lacking and after pages of non-related seaching I figured I would just post the question.

I'm also interested in this question and am confused.
Are you talking about * Explanation 1) making duplicates of a CD without having to manually drag every single folder onto a dvd - or * Explanation 2) copying one set of data, too large for one DVD, across multiple DVDs (like span/concatenation).
Itchandscratch - in the subject line you say 'large file' then 'group of files' in your explanation. If the files are in a group (comprised of smaller individual files) could you not say, halve them and burn onto two disks - or is the folder system of the group complex? But then you say
"I have Roxio Toast at work and all I do is drag all the items into the CD and it tells me how many DVDs it will require and asks me for the next one when the first is done" Suggests not Explanation 1
KJK555 You say "Drag and drop files and folders until image reaches DVD size.
Close image." Which made me think we are talking about explnation 1
Sorry if i'm being stupid. I'm interested but confused! : )

Burning avi file on a DVD

Any body have the solution for this error went burning a avi.
Using Toast Titanium 10.5

:thx:

This is apparently a known issue with Toast and some of the newer Macs.

I don't have a solution other that to say that users who report the problem mention that burning to external drives or with different programs like DVDRemaster have reported success.
Are you just trying to copy the file to a DVD or re-author it for DVD player playback?

SuperDrive won't burn after Yosemite update

Dear Support Community,
I have an Apple USB SuperDrive connected to my mid-2011 Mac Mini (2.5GHz dual-core i5) and recently updated to the Yosemite operating system. Following the update, I receive error messages whenever I try to burn a DVD (I have not tried to burn a CD recently).
I've done some quick searches and the closest thing I found was a suggestion to rename the com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist file. I have not tried that yet, but will likely do so shortly.
Might anyone else have had this problem and be willing to share their solution?
Thanks so much,

Usb superdrive won't burn cd

When I try to burn a cd using my external usb superdrive I get an error: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error oc
curred (-3)."
I have tried numerous discs and get the same error. The drive reads pre-recored music cds and dvds...just doesn't burn.
Any ideas.
Thank you

Hi Steve.
I'd try an optical drive cleaning kit. It may just be a dirty laser. Doing this has been known to resurrect drives before.
Incidentally, I think it is better to let the software determine the burn speed, by having automatic as the setting.

Superdrive won't burn CD in iTunes

I just got the new 13" retina display Macbook Pro and had to buy the superdrive to burn CDs. My issue is that when I try to burn in iTunes, it says that no disc burner is present. I read the instructions inside and there is not info that leads to an answer. Thanks in advance!

Got it. I just restarted it about 5 times and it eventually reset it or something.

DVD Burner keeps encoding and won't burn my file.

Trying to burn a home made video onto a DVD and when I attempt to do it, it won't go any farther than encoding the video. I have left it on for 2+ hours letting it encode and it won't get any higher than 60%. I'm using Windows Movie Maker software and Windows DVD burning software. There is no way it should be taking this long. I am using a Toshiba Satellite L355-S7902. Do I just need to change my DVD burning software or what? Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think so. I bought new disks yesterday to be sure and the result is the same. Also, when in the drives, none of the disks (old or new) make any kind of not-normal noise. Everything seems normal, except neither computer can burn. Weird!
