Optical Drive not burning DVD's

I keep posting a similar discussion but nothing is working. I have this ASUS optical drive for burning DVDs. I was told it doesn't need to be installed because you only need to install it if it's windows. I've tried burning through the disc utility and through creating a new file and clicking burn "so and so" to a disc. After the burning is completed and I try putting it in a DVD player, it says "Unknown Disc" so I'm doing something wrong along the way.
The ASUS optical drive is Mac compatiable so that shouldn't be the problem.

Do you get this error message with all current burn attempts, or simply with your most recent project?
If not, a PRAM reset has been known to be helpful.
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

  • IDVD 08 / external hard drive not burning or playing DVDS?

    Hello, my computer does not have a Superdrive so bought a CNM Ultra Slim-line Portable External DVD-RW Drive, so I could burn DVDs on my computer, was told the external DVD drive and the blank DVDs I bought were compatible with computer. When I plug in the external dvd drive to the USB port, with the blank DVD in the external drive, the computer recognizes it and a message comes up with the options to go to iMovie, iDVD etc. When I am on iDVD and then want to burn, it does seem to burn, but there is no noise coming from the external drive, and at the end of the burning, when I put the DVD in to my DVD drive by my television, it just says ''ERR disk.''
    When I put in a regular movie DVD into the external hard drive to see if it would play, the noise was there from the external hard drive, and the movie name came up on screen with a disk icon, but then a message came up saying, ''There was an initization error valid dvd drive could not be found -70012.''
    Help!

    Does this mean I do not have USB2? If so, is that why the external DVD driver will not burn DVDS or play DVDS? If so, how can I change the USB ports to USB2?
    On the description of the external driver it does not say anything about needing USB2 ports for it to operate: http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/cnm-ultra-slim-line-portable-external-dvd-rw-drive- 02553194-pdt.html

  • SuperDrive will not burn dvds

    I can burn CDs,play CDs and watch DVDs. I can not burn DVDs. I have iLife but I cannot run iDVD because it is not compatible with of my version of OS. Why I don't know. 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?

  • 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.

    I tried to reinstall driver.
    I downloaded new codec

    Hi Albos, This is a known problem. These superdrives die after a while. See the various threads on this site and the internet. I have the same problem with my Imac 20" 2.16 ghz. Just wants to burn and read cd's. Its has to do with the laser. For DVD an CD are two different laser and the one for DVD's has probably died in yours (as it did in mine). I bought an external LG burner and problem solved. (And a lot cheaper than replacing the superdrive)
    Hope this helps you.

  • 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

  • Out of the Box MacBook Pro does not burn DVD DL

    Hi
    My new out of the Box MacBook Pro 2,8 Ghz, 500 GB HD does not burn DVD DL.
    Its telling me something like "Servo Error" in Toast 10.0.4 and also iTunes with a big playlist in DataDVD burn mode does not get the job of burning a DVD DL done.
    It makes me soooo sad.
    I had problems with my DVD Drive on my Power Book G4 12", also on my MacBook 2,16 Ghz even after a repair it would not burn DVD DL.
    So what to do?

    Hi
    Thanks for the tips.
    Well since its a absolutely new MacBook Pro it should burn DL as stated on the Box. So I call the store and they will sent me a new one.That worked very nice and smoothly, so here on costumer care apple is on the very big side.
    I hope the new one will burn em right away.
    You know: Why do they put such bad drives in their so nicely build MacBooks? I don't get it at all. Maybe we are short before Bluray and so they putting inn all the old drives.... Who knows.
    Its well know that apple is not using very good drives in their computers.
    Na ja so ist es halt.
    Keep the good work up!

  • 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.

  • 2010 Mac mini Superdrive not burning DVD's

    My mac mini is not burning DVD's right. I put in a 500GB harddrive a few months back and the SATA cables are attached correct. I can read DVD's but writing DVD's doesn't work. The process finishes but when after I eject the disc I can see that nothing is burning in the inner most part of the disc. When I put the disc back in the computer thinks the disc hasn't been burned and asks if it shuld be open in finder like a blank disc. I know a cd/dvd should burn from the center and spiral outward as it writes more data but it seems the disc is offset when it writes its first data, leaving the inner most part of the disc blank. Maybe I should reformat the OS and start from scratch to see if that helps. Any other ideas?

    Strange these Memorex DVD's worked flawlessly a couple of times then I started getting these srange burns. I think I'm going to blitz this install I'm backing up with time machine now so I'll see what happens. Is there anyway to reapply an EFI update to make sure nothing is corrupt? I did notice what looked like brownish black burns on the logicboard when I opened it up to put the new harddrive in. They were on the long solder traces where they test the logic board by the the logic boards sata connections. I keep the system on 24/7 but don't really play any 3d or do anything that is too processor intense. Another thing is the superdriver seems to favor the left side when a DVD is initially inserted and ejected but moves to the conter when pressed all the way in I can't remember that being normal.

  • I can not burn dvds anylonger with my MacPro. Why ?

    Hi everyone. I already posted this message in another thread but got no useful replies.
    Configuration: MacPro Early 2008, MacOSX 10.6.8
    I can not burn dvds anymore and do not know why. I can play dvds and cds though!
    The following is the usual error message displaying after clicking the button burn :
    I have run Disk Utility from the Install cd of Snow Leopard and the small things which needed repairs have been repaired.
    I have reset the PRAM and the SMC (System Management Controller). Nothing.
    I have set up a new user account with admin privileges but it did not work.
    Please, note that I am trying to burn the same Kodak Pro dvds for photo and data archival that I burned in the past in the same MacPro.
    I am actually burning my dvds using my MacBook Pro connected with my MacPro through Airport but it's a very slow process, of course.
    Any piece of advice ?
    Thank you !

  • 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

    try to burn -dvds or just try to burn different +dvd brand.

  • Optical drive cannot read DVD-RW after burning?

    All of a sudden my built-in optical drive (Matshita UJ-857) appears to have lost the ability to mount burned DVD-RWs. I'm using Sony 1-2x media which burn & verify successfully. Following the burn, the DVD-RWs show up on the Desktop and can be browsed in Finder. However, once ejected, the drive cannot mount them again - they spin up for around 30 seconds before being ejected.
    Other media (DVD, DVD-R, DVD+R, CD, CD-R & CD-RW) work fine; DVD+RW requires 2~3 inserts before it mounts. I've done PRAM & PMU reset, same results. Is my drive failing?

    I can view the same disk/photos on my old L300
    There are any number of special so-called packet writing programs which create discs readable only by the same program. If you use the built-in DVD burning for Windows Vista (especially with Mastered format), that problem would not occur.
       Burn a CD or DVD
    So you should either reburn the DVDs using the Vista machine or copy the pictures to the new machine (probably over your network) and burn new DVDs from there.
    When you post here, always tell us the full model designation of your computers. Which Satellite Pro L330? Which Satellite Pro C660? That way we can look up what your machines look like.
