Not Burning DVDDL+R

I recently went all out for this girl and ended up having to make a Dual Layer dvd.
After it went through all the stages of burning up to muxing I was met with this prompt.
and the dvd ejected.
I slid the dvd back in and it stopped making noises after a few seconds.
I wait until the time ran down to "about one minute" and then it froze for about three minutes until I got fed up and hit cancel.
I can't figure out why this isn't working but I am pretty certain the DVD's are now unusable.
The movie is just under the size for a DLDVD (7.21) but yeah.
I had a similar issue with itunes when burning CDs only when i reinserted the CD I successfully burned the music.
If the trick is a full reinstall then please advise on how to not loose any data (I use time machine)

Hi,
In this issue you can try one step to find out if it is a user related issue or not. Create a new user account and then try burning a disc and check what happens?
Click on the following link to get info about how to create a new user account.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151701
If it works fine on a new user account you can log on to the main user account and remove a file called com.apple.dvdplayer.plist and com.apple.finder.plist which you can find under ~/library/preferences/.
If you still have the same issue on a new user account also then you can boot to the install disc and then try running repair disc.
If you get a message saying volume passed verification then there is no issue with the OS.
If you get any error message and not able to repair the volume only option would be back up the data and do an erase and install of the OS.
You can try resetting PRAM on your computer. Please follow this to get info about how to reset PRAM.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
After resetting PRAM if you still have the same issue then you can try resetting PMU.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733
If this does not help you to resolve the issue then you can contact AASP to get it repaired.
This logic applies to almost all the issues you have with your computer.
This should help you. Please reply if you need anymore clarifications.
Thanks

If they were songs you purchased from itunes, try redownloading them from your purchases...
if that doednt work, make sure the optuon to copy files to itunes media folder is checked in settings, then find and download from the net. and re-add them to your library

I can not burn a CD with my itunes anymore. It tells me to re download itunes. I have done that and still have the same problem. When I do try, Missing disc recorder keeps coming up. Please help!!!!

Hello again, Stew.
Also when I open itunes it gives me a warning and says "The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importingand burning cd's and dvds are missing. Please reinstall itunes."
With that one let's first try a reboot and repair.
Reboot the PC (very important), and the do a *repair install* of iTunes.
Go to your "Add or Remove Programs" control panel, select iTunes, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Does iTunes launch without the error message now?
If no luck there, try checking for a device filter conflict in your registry:

ITunes 8.1 will now not burn/import or play anything at all.

Ok since installing the new 8.1 upgrade of iTunes I am now unable to anything at all. First of all a window popped up tp inform me that the drivers could not be found so I couldn't burn so please re-install iTunes. So I did and now not only will it not burn anything, it will not import ( it won't recognise any cd that i put into my drive at all ),it won't recognise my ipod and it won't play anything that is in my music library at all. So is there going to be a repair to this from apple at any point? I now have now way of getting anything onto my ipod at all. I have tried to re-install itunes several times since and still get nothing. It just does not do anything at all!!! Come on apple, this is serious, can someone please sort it?

try removing the iTunes, then do a fresh install and this time check the box for installing both Bonjour for Windows and Quick Time.

Windows 7 does not recognize cd/dvd drive. Will not burn a disc

           In November 2013, I bought a refurbished hp Compaq 7900 convertible minitower, Product No. NJ3226UC#ABA, 32-bit. Windows 7 and WMP 12 were installed by the company that refurbished it.   WMP's  play, rip, burn, sync worked perfectly.
           I made the mistake of installing itunes. I purchased music and made a playlist from my library and itunes. I tried to burn the playlist with Memorex discs.  WMP burn would kick out the cd at 99% complete. I tried a different brand of disc and had the same problem. The message each time was 'Windows Media Player Encountered an error while burning. Verify that the burner is connected properly and that the disc is clean and not damaged.' I tried burning a disc using itunes burner but it didn't do anything.
           First, I removed every Apple application from my computer. Then I ran Microsoft CD/DVD trouble shooter. It didn't correct the problem and gave me the message "cannot locate CD/DVD burner". I ran trouble shooter in the Control Panel selected System Security's, Find and Fix. Then Selected Configure a Device . Results were 'Hardware may not be detected try to do what you wanted to do again' I tried 2-3 times. WMP would not burn.  Tried Apple for help and didn't want to reinstall itunes. I reinstalled Quick Time.   Followed Microsoft's 5-step resolutions:
          1. Used the troubleshooter in Control Panel.
         2. Ran CD/DVD Fixit trouble shooter.
          3. Manually fix corrupted registry.
         4. Update or reinstall driver.
          5.  Create a sub registry key.
I tried to burn after every step and got the same result.it burned to 99% and kicked out. I used system restore back to May 15, 2014 thaat was before installing iTunes. No burn.   Checked driver and response was that 'Driver is working. No problem was found'.    Today, ran Troubleshooter in ControI Panel and this was the messsage, 'Configuration Settings May Be Incorrect'. How do I correct this? Help! What next?

Hi,
You were given some very good advice on your other post. I ran into a very similar issue when I had installed iTunes and the end result was that I had to do a factory recovery back to a day one condition. Then I had to do a slow software installation process, checking every time I had installed a third party application. I got tripped up a couple of times but determined that I had to install iTunes before installing other CD/DVD media programs (Roxio,WMP and Cyberlink).
Do a fresh OS installation without the extra third party software and then install Imgburn. Then use Imgburn to determine the capabilities of your optical drive and match the media specifications those detected by Imgburn to the media type that you are using. Do not use cheap media as the firmware in your optical drive may not support it. I prefer to use Verbatim media. Now see if Imgburn will burn your optical media before attempting to install iTunes and other CD/DVD optical media programs.

Drop zone of loop in the film stip template, works in simultor, not burning

Droping a loop from the film into the drop some in a chapter menu and it shows up on the simulator. when I go to burn or build etc there is just white where the loop should be. everything else is workinng fine just but no loop- any ideas out there?
thnx

OK bigger problem- the all NTSC DVD that used the same template [film strip] also had no problem in the simulator, but I just build/formated it, and the drop zones in the menu buttons whent all white again- same as yesterday. I also checked and they were all software based in the menu prefs. something is wrong here, there is like a "flash frame" of the first frame of the loop, frozen for a split second. and then when the motion starts it all goes to white in zone. I am really flumixed here, did I change something in the targets or is it still burn realted? but why does it work in the simulator, like a charm and then it does not burn????? FRUSTRATED

Idvd will not burn after upgrade to maverick

Hello-
I just upgraded to maverick and now iDVD will not burn a DVD - says it does not have a compatible superdrive. It was working fine until I upgraded. How can I burn a nice DVD now?

Suggestion only. Before launching, did you also check for updates via apple's software updater?

Superdrive will not burn on mountain lion

After installing mountain lion on iMac, superdrive will not burn or recognize cd/dvd. Have tried several different brands and burning software with same results.

If you have a CD or DVD, insert the disk and see what happens. If the drive kicks back the disk or gives you some kind of error message, then it's most likely a hardware issue, and might require a repair. However, if the drive seems to work fine mechanically, then it's a software issue.

Will not burn photos to disc

iPhoto will not burn photos to a DVD disc(Maxell DVD+R).
iMac response is:
"The burn to the SuperDrive drive failed. The disc drive didn’t respond properly and can’t recover or retry."
These Maxell DVD's are probably 2+ years old. However, I was able to burn 2 disc early this morning. Could it be a heat problem with the SuperDrive?
Your Thoughts?

If you have burned 5 or 6 disc in a row then maybe heat could be a concern. I don't think so with just 2. Are you able to burn a disc, CD or DVD, from the Finder or is it just from iPhoto?
Run the Apple Hardware test as described here: OS X Mountain Lion: Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test

IDVD will not burn disc after QT update

IDVd used to work just fine. I did software update and updated Quicktime to version 7. I found that my Quicktime Pro key for QT 6 would not work with QT 7. I called Apple support and they told me how to revert back to QT 6. I followed their steps and successfully have QT Pro 6 back, but not my iDVD projects will not burn. It gets to stage 4 multiplex and burn and spins for hours. When I hit cancel, the disc ejects and is unburnt.
I have followed Apples steps to solve a no burn when you upgrade to iDVD 4.0.1 (remove encoded assets) and this does not fix the problem.

Hi Dennis
There is ways to delete all of QT and then make a clean install but the
easiest way is to download a back to QT 6.5.2 file from Apple support
and downloads.
I've done this and keep it till I get an upgrade that takes away the old
files before installing the new ones.

Since 10.4.4 (10.4.5) - i can not burn Data-DVDs anymore...

System: iMac G4, 1GHz, 1GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.4.5, 4x SuperDrive (SONY DVD RW DW-U10A)
Dear Apple Support,
since Mac OS X 10.4.4 (same with 10.4.5) i can not burn a Data DVD-RW anymore. It is so annoying. I want to burn my backup on a DVD-RW with the Burn Folders in Mac OS X. it is not possible.
The Finder burn dialog hangs at the "ending burning process". It is so annoying.
It's not possible to erase this "half burned" DVD-RW too! So I have here a lot of destroyed DVD-RWs around me...
The burning of DVD-RWs is a problem since 10.4.0 here on my machine. With 10.4.3 it was half o.k. ... But since 10.4.4 (10.4.5) nothing works anymore.
Your product "Mac OS X Tiger" is nearly one year in the market. And burning a Data-DVD is not a exotical thing. It is a essential feature of a Operating System today. So what are you doing in your Test-Labs?
I am sitting here since 1 year with an Operating System from Apple an it doesn't works in the essential features.
Whats about your slogan "It just works"?
What happens with the quality of Apple?
Under 10.3.9 Panther i can burn everything. It absolutly no problem there.
So i don't understand what are you doing with Tiger?
It's so annoying!
Regards
Roessner

Hi,
I've got exactely the same problem and I have no solution at the moment.
Is there someone who could help us, please?

New problem. I can not burn a playlist to disk.

New problem. I can not burn a playlist to disk. The 'checking playlist' now takes about one second, looks very much like a malfunction here. Seems to initialize the disk - them moves straight into 'burning/finalizing disk' which also takes about one second. Then 'burning - finishing disk takes a little longer -
Error reading is "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disk drive didn't respond properly an can't recover.'
This happend once before a while back and I thought it was 'too skinny disks'. Using 'printable disks; seemed to fix the problem - until now.
Blank cd's can be opened in the finder and files burnt to them.
DVD's can be burned from DVD Pro.
Music cd's and dvd's can be played.
Just can't burn the itunes playlist.

From your iMac? OS 10.9.2? iTunes? Other? please give as much info as you can about your system hardware and peripherals, OS, software, etc. Is this misbehavior new? First try? You get the idea, too much info is not possible.

Deadline Panic--Encore Subtitles Do Not Burn with DL link Project

I have a big SD DV project that I DL ed to Encore where I did the usual Menu and Chapter Work, and this time I added subtitles. They are made by the book, per the docs, as shown in the tutorials, and they preview perfectly from the Encore Monitor, as do all the other Encore parts. The problem is that the subtitles not burn to the DVD--nada, nothing, zilch, zip, nicht. Everything else burns from Encore CS4 and everything else works perfectly.
I could have done the subtitles in PrCS4, but there were a lot and that operation simply goes a lot faster in Encore. But, the choice to do it there may have been a major mistake. However, I would like to salvage this if I can. I simply cannot find where I have missed any steps! It seems to me that if it previews in the Encore Monitor, it ought to burn. I have only one subtitle track and one audio track, which ought to be in compliance with the DVD standard.
I know this is perhaps not strictly the right forum, though it is related in essence because of the DL connectivity concept. I have, of course, posed the question in the Encore Subtitles forum, but don't expect any response from there in anything short of a week. Just not many posts ever in that forum. And I know that a lot of users here also burn their projects with Encore. Can anyone corroborate this as a bug, or tell me what might possibly be wrong?
Thanks very much.

Check your topic in the Encore forum.
-Jeff
