Problem burning files to DVD

I
I am using PE8 on windows XP with a 2.2 Ghz dual amd processor system with 2 gig of memory. I get an error when trying to print that I need to retry and get error info - (result 13 command 42 sense 3 asc:2 ascq:0) I was trying to copy some pictures to a DVD drive. I have tried different discs and different drives. Help

Could you verify that burning works fine on your machine using other burning softwares say Nero. This would help to isolate the issue.
Thanks,
Sourabh

Burn Files in DVD

Hello guys,
Which APP should I use to burn files in DVD in Lion native ?
Thanks

Depends on what you are burning and how you expect to use the DVD.
If you're just copying data files to the DVD then using a burn folder in Finder is fine. If you're making a video DVD that you want to be able to play in a regular DVD plaver you will need video authoring software.

Burn files onto DVD

Can someone explain how to burn files onto a blank DVD, please? I have iMac with Lion and DVD-RW. When I insert the DVD, no icon appears on my desktop. If I go into the disk utility, the disk shows up there. Then I click BURN, and a window opens up for me to select files. But all the files are grayed out and non-functional. What am I doing wrong?

Burning files to DVD

Hi, i have been trying to burn a 850 mb quicktime file and a couple of jpegs to dvd in my super drive. have created disk image and burnt disk all appears good except there is nothing on the dvd . have used both .cdr and .dmg images still same result.(
am able to burn movies from iDVD ok.
help appreciated

Ok, first of all, the amount of data you can burn on a DVD is not exactly 4.7 gb, is less than that, but i dont remember right now how much it is, i make images of 4.44 but, you dont have to complicate things that much, thanks to the simplicity of the OSX, all you got to do is insert the dvd, then the system asks you (if that option is set on the cd & dvd preference pane) what to do with it, then you pick the use in finder option and the image is created, then you copy your things to the image on the desktop, when you finish, simply put the image on the trash (wich look now like a burn icon) and "voila" you got a perfect DVD.
As you see, it just works.
Let me know if you got a question, ill be here.
Good luck.

Help With Burning files to DVD

I'm having trouble doing something that should be ridiculously easy. I'm trying to burn files to a blank DVD RW. I've created a burn folder in finder. The folder has lots of duplicates, which causes the size of the burn folder to exceed the size of the DVD. I tried to delete the duplicate files from the burn folder. I get that low pitched 'bonk' noise that the Mac OS gives you when it won't allow an operation.
How do I delete duplicate files from the burn file?
thanks,
Dan

(What you're describing works as would be expected on local test systems and no "plonk" noise, so...) issue a Get Info on the burn folder and then the (links to the) files within, and see if the protections are blocking delete access. Also select the file, and then see if the Control-Click popup menu gets you anywhere.

Problem burning images to DVD

I want to back up my digital photos on a DVD, so I put them in a folder to see how many I would need. The folder's Get Info panel says its contents total 3.74 GB. I have a blank DVD that says it holds 4.7 GB, but when I try to burn the contents of my folder, I get a message saying there are too many files and I have to remove some. How come? And what should I do to resolve this?
Thanks for any help.

You may see if using a separate burn utility which can tell you if
the burn file exceeds the capacity of the recording media, helps.
One I use for DVD and CD recordable media, free, is Burn 2.0u:
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
Sometimes, the folders and other hidden info required to record
content may exceed the expected limits on the media; or the
math is not exactly as thought, so the items won't fit the media.
Once you do have a collection of folders or items selected in Burn
it is very easy to make several copies and choose the disc. Since
it is all on the desktop, this gives you options outside of other apps.
There are several ways to burn data and other content to disc media
in the system; iTunes, Disk Utility, iPhoto, and in Finder. The Burn
utility is a handy tool, uses little resources, is free and works well.
(Not sure if a 'smart folder' could help,
...I haven't seen what those can do.)
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Problems burning dual layer DVD's

we have had lots of problems trying to burn dual layer dvd's. Single layer has been fine but is there some secret trick for getting dual layer to work? we have tried both the internal dvd burner and an external one and both are supposed to be dual layer capable.

about half of the ones we try get about half way through and then say media sense error (or similar wording) some of the others look like they have burned fine and then when it is writing the last little bit it just stops, this results in discs which are unreadable. The others look like they've burned fine and then don't play one of the items on the DVD once it is put in the machine.
Those that do play appear to stop about the level of the switch of layers.

Can't burn files onto DVD

I have a Pioneer DVD Drive and when I try to burn files onto the DVD, it goes through the process of burning the files ( I can see the little progress bar ), but the files do not end up on the disk. One disk worked, and I saw that the burn process was verifying the information, but since then I can't get it to work - I have tried several disks.
Is there any brand of DVD that is better than others ? I am new to Mac, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

DVD media is limited to about 19 minutes of DV Stream format.
If your Project is under that limit and still won't "fit" try exporting to Full Quality QuickTime file (.dv) and use the Finder to burn the disc or break your Project into multiple "parts".

Problem burning to external DVD

I'm trying to burn my iDVD project to an external DVD burner (brand-new Philips model that's supposed to have all the bells and whistles). I went with an external burner since the Pioneer drive that came with my eMac croaked and I couldn't find a good replacement. I was able to burn a disk yesterday with no problem, but today, after I made some changes to my movie project and wanted to burn a new disk, it keeps trying to talk to the (broken) internal drive instead of the external one. I know the computer recognizes the external drive because it asks me what I want to do when I insert a disk or when I unplug and plug the USB cable back in. Is there some way to disable the internal disk drive so iDVD won't keep defaulting to it? This is driving me crazy because it worked perfectly yesterday, and I didn't do anything different this time around.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted, because right now I want to throw the whole system out the window.

Hi
USB Cable ? Does this works ? Previously ?
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
Many possible origins. Most common:
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/acount* - log into this and re-try
• Program miss-match: eg iDVD 5.0.2?, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4 - is OK

Problems burning Blu-Ray DVD with Encore CS6 Creative Cloud version

I recently installed Premiere Pro CS6 from Creative Cloud on a high performance PC. Everything works fine but Encore Blu-Ray burn will not finallize... get error message after most of disc is burned. Have tried several burns without success. Same files burn okay with Cyberlink software. Seems to be a bug with CS6 Encore files.
Have tried with Cyberlink removed from machine.... same problem.
Any suggestions??

The error is: Blu-ray Error, "device error", Code "3", Note, "AS-StorageError = 97071
I imported one HD Blu-Ray MPG file encoded in Premiere Pro for Blu-Ray DVD about 4GB in size. It was set-up with simple "Play menu". It burns up to the point of finalization, then the above error message occurs.
I insstalled a second Blu-Ray burner (different brand) and attempted another burn but with same error message. Also tried different brand of discs.
I have a second computer that I had previously loaded the trial version of Permiere Pro CS6, then later opted to do complete install via Creative Cloud. CS6 Encore will burn a Blu-Ray disc on this system with the same file without any problem or error messages.
It seems to be a problem with the Creative Cloud installation on the first computer???

Playback quality poor when burning files to DVD

I am burning quicktime files to a DVD. (I want to keep them as quicktime files so the recipients of the DVD's can manipulate the files if needed.)
After burning the file (2.81 GB) to a DVD-R (4.7 GB capacity) The playback of the burned DVD file is odd. It seems to have all the information (video and audio) But it will freeze on the first video frame while the audio keeps going. Not sure why this is happening.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to prevent this? OR, possibly a different file format to use? I don't want the files in a an iDVD menu because then you can't extract the files and manipulate them with ease.
If anyone can help... THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE

I'm thinking you burned the dvd as a data dvd.
Your mac can't keep up with a video that is burned as a data dvd. You need to copy the DVD content to your hard drive to be able to play the video with no problems.

Burn files to DVD and keep open or appendable

Ultimately, I am trying to burn a DVD that has a a slide show with some pictures, but then also have ALL the pictures in original size on the DVD as well. From iPhoto, I can share the group of photos for the slide show with iDVD, and it will go over, and I can burn that. But what I was trying to do before I did that, is burn all the pics I want into a folder using Finder burn folder, but it closes the DVD so I can't add anything else. I thought I'd be able to then keep using that DVD for the slide show in iDVD, provided it still had enough room, which it does. Am I going about this the wrong way? Do I need to explain more?

While working in iDVD, you need to add these photos to the DVD-ROM portion. You can read about this feature in iDVD Help: _Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc_
Here is the basic info. You can read more about this feature in iDVD Help: _Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc_
+To manually add files to the DVD-ROM part of your disc:+
+Choose Advanced > Edit DVD-ROM Contents.+
+The DVD-ROM Contents window opens.+
+Click Add Files, or click New Folder first if you want to create a folder to put the files in.+
+Browse to select your files or folders, then click Open to add them to the disc.+
+You can also drag files directly to the DVD-ROM Contents window. When you are done, just close the window.+
I hope this helps.

ITunes attempts to burn files onto DVD on startup

Ever since I loaded iTunes on my husband's computer last week, it has done something weird. When iTunes starts, it sends a folder with several iTunes files to the DVD-R drive to be written (files such as iTunes Library Extras.itdb, itunes Library Genius, itunes Music Library, iTunes Library.itl, sentinal, Album Artwork folder, iTunes Media folder). I've checked the settings, and everything in Preferences references the C: drive. How do I get iTunes to stop trying to write these system files to the DVD-R?

Problem burning to CD/DVD on internal or external burner

My G4 is not longer recognizing cds or dvds on my internal drive.
I plugged in my new LaCie firewire burner, and the G4 isn't recognizing blank discs in that either.
As soon as I pop the disc in I get the message "This disc cannot be used becasue it is not recognized."
When I run DiskUtility it sees the drives and the discs, but lists the discs as "locked" and "read-only". Again, I have used a multitude of different brands and types of brand new cds and dvds; discs that used to burn fine on the internal drive. So what am I missing that has changed?
The external drive and various discs work with our Powerbook G5 with no problems.
I have been running 10.4.1 – that seems to be when the problem began.
I ran PatchBurn4.04 with no results.
Anything else?

I MIGHT HAVE FOUND A FIX!
I was having this problem as well, were i could not stick in any DVD-R / RW.
But and CD-R and Regular DVD and CD would work (Dual 2.0 G5)
As i was Cleaning my computer up, I foound a burn folder i could not delete.
(folder with with the Burn icon on it)
Cmd-i and i see it is locked. i unlock it and delete it. For whatever reason... i stuck in a DVD-R and it read and Started to load my home movies!!!!
Step 1: Look for any Burn folder, Were you started to burn a dvd but it failed or anything like that. not sure how you would search for it.
Step 2: Is it locked? You'll see a padlock like icon in the lower left corner, it's silver grey.
Step 3: Cmd-i (10.4.10) Under the Color Label box you will see this little Gem: [√] Locked Unlock it so that it shows: [ ] Locked
Step 4: Delete said folder, and empty trash.
Step 5: Insert DVD-R, and enjoy.

Bugreport: LR 2.5 fails to burn files to DVD

Affects: LR 2.5 on Win XP SP3
Steps to reproduce:
1. Select a set of shots that would require 3 DVDs
2. Export to CD/DVD as original files
3. Insert blank DVDs when prompted
Expected result: 3 disks with the selected files on them
Actual result: Disk 1 and 3 contain the right files. Disk 2 is blank (nothing written, disk still untouched).
Other observations:
- When starting to write disk 2, LR "finish" in a couple of seconds and asks for disk 3 just like disk 2 had been written successfully.
- This is not caused by faulty blank disks. LR accept the same blank disk as #1 or #3 after "writing" to it as disk #2.
- CD/DVD recording work fine from other applications
- The behaviour described above is reproducable with 100% reliability

If you're dealing with things with the same granularity as an existing catalog, like your moving the entire catalog and photos to a new place, then just use file COPY operations, at least if you're aware of what and where a catalog database file exists and where the set of photo folders are.
I use Export to make a catalog that is a PORTION of an existing catalog not a copy of an entire catalog.
I use Import to ADD photo-settings, en-masse, to an existing catalog, not to view an existing catalog in its entirety.
I use a combination of both operations to make backups of my current work to a couple external HDs on a periodic basis. I Export things by month to an external HD, and then import that month's catalog to the external HD's catalog so I have all the photos on that particular backup drive in a single catalog to facilitate searches.
This lets me have my most recent photos in a single catalog on my fast internal HD. And I have all the photos on my external backup drive in a single catalog. And if I really wanted to, I could have all my external HD catalogs (I have several TBs of photos) imported into a monster catalog that is not connected to any photos, to do keyword searches across the entire set, and then go to the individual 1TB drive the photos exists on, based on the date.
