Problem writing DVD.

It does all the steps but can't write a DVD, Right after failing, Toast pops open and wants to write a DVD.
I tried a smaller project and still no writing.
I'm seriously bummed as I can't see the video from a recent vacation until I get this figured out.
Latest iMac, 2.33Mhz C2Duo, latest OSX, all updates for iLife (there were no updates for iDVD)...

I am having a very similar problem.
There was an error during rendering/encoding of the menus/slideshows. The burning process has been canceled is the message I get just as it finishes rendering menu video asset.
I have tried all the things you suggested, but none work. I did a test with only one of the folders I am trying to burn (I am burning images for a client - using the 7.0 first template) Folders are high res JPGs, there is one song per folder. I have less than 99 images in each folder as I read in the help menu. I tried rebuilding the entire thing in a new file, but that didn't work either. Burning the image file also doesn't work - gets stuck at the exact place. (I suppose I should be attempting to create image files in order to avoid wasting more DVDs). Is that right?
I noticed that I had selected a Project for Regular TV and now I am questioning if these black templates are only WIDESCREEN because I saw some bizare error message about switching back to a regular TV size once one of them has been selected. Could that be causing my problem? When I look at the 6.0 templates (ugly) they all seem made for widescreens as well. I am currently trying to create the exact slideshow with a 6.0 template to see what happens. Any suggestions... I am so FRUSTRATED with this, but really want to deliver this to my client!!!!

  • " DVD RW Drive " is not reading / writing DVD. It can read only CD.

    Product Number:   XS065EA 
    " DVD RW Drive "  is not reading / writing DVD.  
    The same DVD can be read on my frnds laptop. 
    Corresponding drivers r up to date.. I even tried uninstall and then restart and then let my laptop install the required driver automatically. I've tried everything I could find on some forums.
    I was told to delete " Upper & Lower filters ". I didnt find Lower filter so I had to delete only "Upper Filter".
    Plz assist me..
    I will be waiting for ur kind reply.
    Thank u so much.

    The upper and lower filter thing only applies if the drive is not showing up at all in the Device Manager. If it appears as a drive and will perform any function at all, then it is likely a hardware issue. One way you can be sure is to try to boot from a bootable DVD such as a Windows 7 install Disk. If the computer will not boot from such a disk then it is apparent the hardware is defective, not the Windows software because the problem exists even before Windows loads.
    The drive has multiple lasers and it is possible for one to go out but not the others.  The drive is easily replaced. See below:
    This eBay seller ships worldwide. You would have to transplant your plastic drive face but that is very easy to do:

    chmod u+s /usr/sbin/fping
    I think that error is because fping is not suid.  My /bin/ping is also suid, but dvdrip uses fping and you get a message like that if fping is not suid
    dvdrip-master
    will probably guide you to whatever is causing the error message.
    Do not use divx codec if you have a p4, there is a bug and another error message.  Xvid is better and it works but divx is set by default.
    dvdrip, allows cluster ripping, if you want to rip on in the world, use that.

  • Problems with DVD-R and CD-R discs

    My iMac is almost 3 years old. i have burn several CDs and DVDs since I bought it. Lately I having problems reading and writing DVD-R and CD-R discs.
    When you insert a new blank disc it makes a lot of sounds. With a little bit of luck it wont eject it and you would be able to drag files to it and burn it. At te beginning of the burning proces, it makes a lot of sound and many times a message will apear saying that it can calibrate de laser lens or wont recognize the media.
    When you insert a burned CD-R or DVD-R it makes a lot of sound and many thing could happend, like work fine, it could be be immediately ejected, a blank disk message appears asking what to do, etc. lately it is more difficult to read my backups.
    Industrially burned discs like movies DVDs, audio CDs and Software discs works fine most of the time.
    Also when using Parallels I can read my CD-R without much problem. This makes me think that it could be a Software issue.
    Any suggestions? Do you think my SuperDrive is dead? How much could it cost to fix this?

  • Problems with DVD Player 3.0.1 in G4/466

    Problems with DVD Player in G4/466
    Yes, I've a g4/466 with two disks. In the first there's system 9.2.2 and the DVD player goes perfect. In the second I've system 10.2 and the 9.2, and the DVD Player (3.0.1) on the system 10 begins to jump in the dock, but stop and nothing happens, I can't open it...
    There's any way to reinstal it form system disks???
    Or any download to check the error?
    Thanks

    1. Try using Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X 10.2 installation disks, and then run the combo updater for your version of Mac OS X and any applicable DVD Player updates.
    2. Open the Console application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and look for lines relating to the DVD Player.

  • Problems writing text on Photoshop CC

    I am having problems writing text on Photoshop CC - the image goes black.

    Windows 8?  Update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website. If you cannot update your driver (like on a locked laptop machine), then set the GPU drawing mode in Photoshop to "Basic" and relaunch the app.

    No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

  • I was having problems burning DVDs' fro iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK?

    I was having problems burning DVDs' from iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault.
    I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK? I have seen these with SATA is this the correct cable for my mac?
    I have also tried the Mac superdrive but my imac wont recognise it as it's been configured for macbook air and mini mac. I know I can "make" it work by doing something or other in com.apple/plist, but dont want to mess about in there.
    I'm also told an external drive would work but does "mac compatible" mean only for air and mini as their own superdrive is or all macs?
    Any help appreciated before I convince myself mac is no better than windows pc!

    Thanks but this didn't really help.
    I can buy the drives at a dozen places but none of them seem to know what connection is correct (SATA etc) and that includes the apple store. It was the store who told me buy the superdrive and all my problems would be over. Wrong! It isn't recognised by imac as it's confifured for air and mini mac. Only way to make it work is as i said in earlier post. (Would you be happy buying a car you were told would start and then discover you have to open the bottome and fiddle to make it go?)
    The apple store I would not even consider taking it to. Days without the pc, over priced and don't have a good reputation for actually fixing things!
    But thanks

    Lost all photos on my iPhoto and get the ERROR WRITING TO DISK when trying to reload from Time Machine. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPHOTO LIBRARY  . Looking for solution.

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash, if possible.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • Director 12- can't create a windows projector - problem writing file error

    I am trying to create a windows projector of a project. when I get the following error - problem writing file - file name- Can't compress file that has been modified and not saved. The file has not been modified and has been saved. Any help would be great.

    Hi.
    You say you have tried publishing to a new empty folder.  From the video I can see that the folder has table1.app in there (25 secs in) which is a Mac projector that has been published.
    Yet you have Windows Projector checkbox ticked at the start of the video.
    I publish Mac and Windows projectors to entirely seperate folders as a matter of practice.
    I call the folders "Published" and "PublishedMac" and that is where the respective projectors for each piece of software lives.
    Perhaps there is some mix up between Mac and Windows publishing that is going on because
    you are publishing both to the same folder?
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot import photos from camera, "problem writing to the volume"

    I recently upgraded to iPhoto 09 from iPhoto 5. While everything seemed ok in terms of Faces and Places and Events etc, today I was trying to import some photos from my camera and suddenly iPhoto 09 gave an error *"iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPhoto library"* somewhere mid-way through the import. I don't understand why my own internal HD would have a problem writing to.
    Luckily, I had made a bootable backup before upgrading to iLife 09, so I just booted from that external FireWire disk, opened iPhoto 5 and as usual, it imported all the photos without any issues. But I do not want to go back and forth just for importing the photos. So, Apple, please update the iPhoto 09 with necessary bug fixes.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue ? any solutions ?
    Thanks.

    Your stated problem
    I was trying to import some photos from my camera and suddenly iPhoto 09 gave an error "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPhoto library" somewhere mid-way through the import.
    As I stated I have NOT seen this problem before and it is clearly a specific problem with your system not an iPhoto bug
    Then you are not watching enough. There are several reports here itself :
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8971388
    Issue was user had their iPhoto library on a FAT 32 formated disk - nothing at all like your personal problem
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1907134&tstart=0
    User was short of disk space - one of the questions I ask you since it can cause similar problems and can corrupt your library
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1885964&tstart=0
    Even with all of the thread jacks nothing in this long thread is like yours - these are mostly corrupted libraries and are solved by rebuilding
    http://forums.appleinsider.com/showthread.php?p=1372496
    Not on a forum that I follow - but appears to again be a FAT32 formated disk - nothing like your issue
    SInce you are mostly interested in arguing and insulting people and not in solving your problem - if you even have one e - I choose not to deal with peole with your attitude

    hp pavilion dv7. i get a problem of dvd player hp bd-re bt10n. it indicated that " windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing."

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
    Regards,

  • HP Pavillion dv6-1245dx problems writing to MicroSDHC card - errors

    I've purcahsed two different brands of MicroSDHC 32GB cards. They will allow me to write 1-2GB of info before giving me an error code: 0x80070052. I was using Windows 7 and read that this was an issue that was going to be resolved in Windows 8, so I installed Windows 8 on my laptop (It's legitimate through Microsoft's MSDN program).
    I went looking for product specifications for my laptop on the HP site and it just gives this vague answer: 5-in-1 integrated Digital Media Reader for Secure Digital cards, MultiMedia cards, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, or xD Picture cards.
    It doesn't specify SD, MicroSD, MicroSDHC or any variation. I am inclined to believe that the laptop doesn't support cards as large as 32GB. The largest card I've ever tried before this was an standard size 8GB SDHC, so at least I know it will handle the SDHC part. However, I have had issues with 32GB USB drives as well, where the drive gets half full and then starts having problems writing (no error codes though).
    I'd like to know if MicroSDHC cards as large as 32GB are or aren't supported before I commit to purchasing a third card. I've tried multiple adapters as well, so I know it's not 1) Me trying to stick a tiny card in a large hole, 2) poor contact between the adapter and the laptop, or 3) poor contact between the card and the adapter.
    Thank you.

    card readers are prone to problems with the internal contacts, particularly multi-card readers. If you get a card inserted a little  bit wrong it can cause it to go out. HP should warrant the problem but if you can't get relief, the expresscard multi-readers are cheap and work well. My laptop has no built in card reader so that is what I use.
