Recording device reported illegal request: buffer underrun

"Errors found during the burning process....illegal request: Buffer underrun (0x21, 0x02)"
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Kim

Hello Kim,
a buffer underrun occurs when the data stream to the burner is interrupted (i.e. the data is not coming fast enough). As the burner cannot interrupt the burn process, it is being aborted.
This error is commonly associated with burn speed and/or incompatible DVD media. You might want to try to create a disk image and burn that with either Disk Utility or Toast (both apps allow you to control burn speed - iDVD does not).
iDVD 4 disc image burning can be enabled through the patch HPfurz:
http://homepage.mac.com/geerlingguy/macsupport/mac_help/pages/0015-burn_idvdother.html
burn at slow speed (2x) and use high quality DVD-R media (e.g. Verbatim)
hope this helps

The recording device reported the illegal request: Unknown device

Has anybody any idea? I am not able to output a dvd-9 (dvd + dl). there is always the message: the recording device reported the illegal request: unknown device. The layersize is ok and the dual layer brake is set.

I don't have the exact error message with me, but that sounds similar. I bought a new DVR-115 for my Mac Pro and put the existing DVR-112 in the bottom slot. The DVR-115 worked fine for a month or so, then started getting that or a similar error. I replaced it under warranty and soon got the same thing. Then I Googled the error message an found many people having the same problem, even people with PCs. Now I just burn with the DVR-112, not worth resolving. BUT, I could be remembering the error message incorrectly, so Google and see what you get.

What should be the problem?

There could be a few reasons, a common one is bad DVDs or a burner going bad.

Valid Records Update, Reporting Possible (Request Green)

Hi, My company operates change run every night.
Yesterday, an error occured when loaded data from DSO to cube.
I guess that there was strange character BW can't recognize.
Because error had been handled too late, a whole chain was delayed.
I don't want that this situation happen again.
I want to skip the error records so that change run can be operated on schedule.
As I know, It is possible by using "Valid Records Update, Reporting Possible (Request Green)" option on DTP.
But, I heard that when I apply this option, there will be no error logs. Is it right?
I think It can cause the problem of data consistency.
So, I have question.
1. Can I get error logs using "Valid Records Update, Reporting Possible (Request Green)" option?
2. Is there any other way to know existence of invalid records (even if chain skip that record)
3. If question 1 or 2 are not possible, can an customizing abap program perform this action?
Thank you.

Hi,
can you discribe what's your master data check is like. Propably not your skip record exception is rissen but another exception by sap standard masterdata check. It's behviour may differ from the skip record exception you are expecting.
Check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/fbd598481e1a61e10000000a422035/content.htm for other types of exception by SAP errorhandling.

BURNING PROBLEM - BUFFER UNDERRUN

Hi!
There is a problem: i have brand new G5 quad and i can't burn dvd's from idvd or dvd studio pro - i have same problem - first computer tells me 'writing led-in data' and after a few attempts i have alert about buffer underrun. (The recording device reported the illegal request: Buffer underrun. (0x21, 0x02.))
What funny is - i can properly burn dvd's from finder! Can anybody tell me what is going on? Don't tell me about no name dvd's - i'm using good brand and i can trust them.
PLEASE HELP - I have bought QUAD for dvd mastering and burning.

Are you creating a disc image and burning that to a disc or are you attempting to burn directly to a disc? Unless you need dual-layer support, I would HIGHLY recommend against burning directly to disc. Both iDVD and DVDSP allow you to create a disc image of your projects.
If you cannot burn your disc image to a disc, then chuck the media (not literally) and find yourself a different brand of media. I also recommend using Toast instead of Finder or Disk Utility to burn your disc image with... you have much more control over the burn speed with Toast.
Also, you have burned DVDs using iDVD or DVDSP before, correct? Just want to make sure that this isn't your first stab at it... you might be building your projects incorrectly.

Recording device error on DVD DL -HELP!

Hi there,
I have problems burning a Dual Layer DVD with DVDSP 4. I'm using DVD+R DL Verbatim as the media in a DVD-RW DVR-111D. But it keeps sending the following message:
"Recording device reported the media error: Unknown device error (0x73,0x03.)"
I've tried direct from SP and with Roxio Toast v. 6.1.1.
Any idea what's going on?
Comments and suggestions are welcome!
Desperate Marissa =(

What speed disc are you using? That burner will only burn speeds up to 8x for DL. You might also try burning at the slowest possible speed.

Anyone know how to correct this issue? Cannot burn DVD.

Formatting Error.. illegal request...Buffer Underrun

Hi All..
I'm having trouble burning an FCP 5 to DSP 4. I have correctly exported the files to Mpeg-2, using both the File--Export--QuickMoive etc, and/or using Compressor.
I usually get(something like this)
Fomatting Failed. Unable to format disc, illegal request. Buffer Underrun (0x21, 0x20).
I even tried using idvd instead and it happens there also..
Out of 15-20 Tries with new DVD's each time, it only burned twice. Of those the disc would play but none of the menus worked(that could be a me problem, not linking an assest right)
Is this a Super Drive failure, Hardware Failure
I'm going to try the file on campus, and see if I can burn it there on a different MAC.
I'm sorta new to the Mac Universe, so any guidance would be helpful.
Oh yeah, I'm using a Dual Core 2.0 GHZ G5, with a 1GB of Ram, upgraded Graphic card, Latest Tiger...etc

Are you doing anything else on the Mac whilst you are burning - network access, Internet surfing, screen savers, energy savers of any kind - anything that will demand CPU processing power? If so, don't!
This question came up just about a week ago - run a search for buffer underrun in the forum. The situation occurs when the DVD writer is left waiting for data to be sent to it... it's buffer runs out of data. This is usually caused by the main processor being used by some other process and not being able to keep a steady stream of data being sent to the writer.

G5 quad buffer underrun error when burning dvd's

4 x 2.5 Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)
i just tried to burn a dvd from dvdsp and keep getting a error. it is
Sense Key=ILLEGAL REQUEST
Sense Code = 0x21,0x02
Buffer Underrun
i tried using toast as well with the same result. my dvd drive is also making a lot of noise when it trys to burn. i was able to burn a dvd (data files) using the finder and the dvd burner doesn't make the same noise. i've seen this problem in other discussions and still don't have a sense of what is causing this. some have mentioned bad media, but why would the dvd burner work through the finder and not through dvdsp? or toast?
could this be a software bug or bad hardware?
any help would be appreciated.
4 x 2.5 Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) dvdsp 4.0.2

There is a work around. In DVD Pro, "format" with the output device set to disc and the format to ".img". When this is finished, open Disk Utility and "convert" the .img file to a CD/DVD master (.cdr). This file can then be used to burn to a blank DVD. If you click the options arrow in the burn dialog before beginning the burn, you can select a speed other than "maximum". Not elegant, but it works. My HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B DVD drive only succeeds at burning at its maximum rate about 1/3 of the time. However, at 12X it has been quite reliable.

Re: IllegalArgumentException: Illegal request to write non-integral

Description:
               Java sound library has been bundled with java1.4. There was a
               separate sound libraray in java1.3 (sound.jar). In java1.4
               com.sun.media.sound.* contains an inbuilt sound device configuration
               library.
               A JMF class (com.sun.media.protocol.javasound.JavaSoundSourceStream.class)
               uses javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine Interface for reading data from
               media device and defines a buffer size to read data for the method
               javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine.read(byte[] b, int off, int len)
               for the variable "len"
               The source for read method of the class
               javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine.read resembles like this:
               public int read(byte[] b, int off, int len) {
               if (len % getFormat().getFrameSize() != 0) {
                    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal request to write non-integral number of frames (" + len + " bytes )");
               Clearly, this requires that the number of bytes to be read must
               be an integral number of sample frames, such that:
               [ bytes read ] % [frame size in bytes ] == 0
Solution:
               Buffer size defined in JavaSoundSourceStream should be proper
               and adjustable for device capability.
               Before defining buffer size, the getFrameSize() method of
               javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat should be called to verify
               the frame size of the media device.
               The following code should be inserted in the file
               com/sun/media/protocol/javasound/JavaSoundSourceStream.java
               in the method openDev():
               int adjust_FrameBuffer_size = afmt.getFrameSize();
               bufSize = bufSize - (bufSize % adjust_FrameBuffer_size);
               before defining DataLine.Info buffersize.

hello fellows!
In my case i am plugging in the JSPEEX into java sound API. I am getting this same exception when I have samplesizebits as 16 Bits (Depth sample) . But when I make it as 8 Bit(Depth sample) its executing without any exception. wat is the reason?
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: illegal request to write non-integral number of frames (607 bytes, frameSize = 2 bytes)
My Input parameters:
float sampleRate = 44100.F;
int sampleSizeInBits = 16; //8,16
int channels = 1;//1,2
boolean signed = true;//true,false
boolean bigEndian = false;

Buffer Underrun

This is the third time burning a 45min DVD has failed. What does buffer underrun mean??? I export a FCP Movie (QuickTime Movie) from FCP and then let DVD SP do the encoding...I've changed the default settings from Better to Best and from 1 Pass to 2 Pass VBR. What am I missing?
Thanks. Britt
I've included the log so hopefully the experts can see what's going wrong:

G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) DVD SP 4.0.3

There are a few ways you can use Toast to burn your DVD.
The following way is the best way to use DVD SP and Toast integrated together.
Author your DVD in DVD SP, be sure to have All Regions checked.
When it is all finished, select Build/Format.
Select your appropriate folder to build your VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folder, then select output device>Harddrive, then DDP 2.0 is set by default.
You will be prompted to save the DVD.img file to your drive. Rename it to your DVD like MY_MOVIE.img or whatever your DVD is called.
When it finishes building/formatting, close DVD SP.
Open up Toast and select COPY
I have Toast 7 so this is how it works.... (Toast 5 did it differently, but still you need to burn a .img file)
Select COPY, then IMAGE FILE to the left.
Drop your .img file into the main window, hit the RECORD button.
This will bring up a prompt for a write speed.
If you are making a master, it is advised to use the lowest speed possible (1X DVD), if you DVDR will let you.
Some only go as low as 4X. I typically use 4X because i use 16X Verbatim media and it only goes to 4X.
A full 4.37gb DVD at 1X is like 55 minutes. 2x is 27min, 4x is 14 min, and so on.
But this is the best way to make a master.
Then you can make copies from this at a higher speed if you want.
Be sure to VERIFY the disc after it burns. It will prompt you to do so.
You can also use the VIDEO tab and select DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS on the left. I would advise against this method although you can. It has to do with the way DVD SP builds your VIDEO_TS folders. Although you set it to all region, if you just BUILD the project it has a RCM Value (Region Code Mask) of 64 (0 is all region). It has a bug which deselects Region 7. Not sure why, but it does.
So if you Build/Format, it will be RCM Value of 0.
That is why it is best to do an .img file and burn in Toast which is better burning software.
Hope this info helps.

No "Enhancements" Tab in Windows 8, Recording Device Properties

Hi, I just bought my HP laptop, a HP ENVY 15-q008TX, Windows 8.1. Whenever I'm using the microphone, I've found that the microphone automatically lowers its volume when it's too loud. It's obvious there's some auto-leveling going on in the background, be it by my audio driver or Windows. I don't want that and it's problematic when I'm recording audio for work.
Searching for answers on the internet gave me these common answers:
1) Turn off auto-audio adjustment in Skype -- Done. However, the auto-leveling issue I'm facing happens in other software, even when I'm not using Skype. So it's not a Skype issue.
2) Go to Control Panel > Sound > Select "Do nothing" for communications activity. Done, but issue persists.
3) Go to Control Panel > Sound > Recording Devices > Properties > Advanced > Unselect "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device". Done, but issue persists.
4) The last solution I've found is to go to the "Enhancements" tab of Speakers Properties AND Microphone Properties and check "Disable all sound effects". This sounds like a possible solution except that my Windows 8.1 has no Enhancements tab at all for both Speaker and Microphone Properties.
I then tried checking the Beats Audio Control Panel (that's the audio software my laptop came with) which has barely any options.
In the "Listening Experience" tab, it doesn't show any auto-leveling option.
In the "Recording Experience" tab, it asks me to attach audio device when my headset microphone is clearly attached and it's working and detected by my Windows and other software.
So at this point I don't know what to do. I suspect there's some audio software issue going on. Any advice is appreciated.

I do not have any issue connecting a microphone. That connecting error in the screenshot seems to be something wrong with the Beats software itself than any issue between my microphone and the HP laptop.
To clarify:
1) My microphone works perfectly and it shows up in Windows Control Panel.
2) I have used my microphone over Skype with no issues.
3) I have recorded many audio recordings with my microphone with no issues.
Where I do have an issue with the microphone, as I have outlined in my original ticket, is that there seems to be an autoleveling or loudness equalization going on where any input audio that goes beyond a certain volume will automatically be softened for 10 seconds, before the microphone increases volume again. I have found this issue reported many times in other forums and apparently it's a common issue, and the solution seems to be to disable the loudness equalization in my Speaker/Mic properties in my audio control panel.
The issue here is that I cannot find this option to disable loudness equalization at all in my audio control panel, be it in Windows or in Beats audio panel (as I have cited in my original ticket). I would like some help to know where exactly I can find and disable the loudness equalization option in my computer because it has to be somewhere since it has been operating in the background.
The manufacturer is Sennheiser.

Sound has no valid device sound path although exporting device sounds was requested in the export settings. This sound will be ignored.

I have bopped around the forums here for a while now, and while other people seem to have had the same problem as I am having in the past, I come to find that all of the solutions that have worked for others, do not in fact, work for me.
I am running Flash Professional CS6 On an Acer Aspire. 4 Gigs of RAM, 500 Gigs of HD.
The exact problem that I am having is as follows:
I record a sound bit in Audacity, Export the sound as and MP3 File on my main computer Hard Drive.
go to File>Import>Import to Library, I locate the file that I had created, then select it to be imported to my Library.
I then create a new layer in my timeline, Label it as sound, place a new key frame into the timeline layer at the place in the animation that i hope the sound would start, set the audio sync to stream instead of event, then press CTRL+ENTER, which initiates the Test Movie function.
At this time, the "Output" box Pops up and it states,
"Sound has no valid device sound path although exporting device sounds was requested in the export settings. This sound will be ignored."
No sound is played and i cannot, for the life of me, figure out why. I have tried all the troubleshoots that i can find online. I checked the publishing settings and nothing is being Overridden, I've attempted to untick the "export device sounds" option, but it is grayed out and cannot be toggled. I have attempted switching the MP3 format sound clip to a WAV format sound clip. I have attempted to re-recording the sound clip and re-importing the clip to the library. I have checked my computers speakers and everything is in working order and i have even checked to see if other projects sound works.
I pulled up a previous project that i had finished a while back that had loads of sound imported the exact same way and it all works exactly as i expect it too. The sound plays, there is not "Output" box claiming an issue. It seems that the issue, whatever it might be, is stuck to this project itself.
I have even started a new project, imported and placed both the MP3 and the WAV files into the sound layer created, CTRL+ENTER, and it works just fine without problem.
If there is anything that i might have accidentally messed up in this projected that you know about, like settings that may have been changed that would cause such an annoying and seemingly unfixable issue, please let me know. I really do not want to loose this project over such an utterly stupid error.

I've moved your question to the Flash Pro CC forum.

"Adobe Captivate could not detect a recording device ..."

Adobe Captivate shows my Snowflake USB microphone but doesn't record sound from it. When I choose Calibrate I get "Adobe Captivate could not detect a recording device". However, I can record from the microphone in all my other apps (Rosetta Stone, Sony SoundForge, etc.), so I know it's not a hardware issue.
When I go to "Sound" in Vista Pro's "Sound" option on control panel the Microphone is chosen as the default recording device, and I see the bars moving up and down when I talk.
What can I do to get "Captivate" to see the Mic?
A temporary workaround I found is to plug the Microphone into my laptop, then select SPDIF in as the input source. Captivate still gives the "... could not detect a recording device..." error, but the sound records anyway. This is kludgy, however.

Hi there
You may well just be out of luck. I heard Captivate 2 and Vista Pro used together. I don't believe Captivate was fully compliant with Vista until version 3. So that may explain things.
Unless someone pops in with a better idea, you should be able to record the audio separately, save as WAV or MP3 and import into your slides.
Cheers... Rick

Playing a large Clip and "Requested buffer too large" exception

Hi All.
Through JavaSound, I am trying to reproduce a WAV audio file that I create within my application. Also the recording/acquisition of the audio file is performed through JavaSound.
The WAV audio file that I am trying to play has the following features:
- 44 Khz, 8-bit, mono
- Length = 1min 36sec
- File size = 4.04 MB
Here is a fragment of my code:
// Get the input stream from the input audio file
audioInStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(inputFile);
AudioFormat audioFormat = audioInStream.getFormat();
// Compute the buffer size (for a 0.25 seconds buffer)
float bufferTime = 0.25F; // 0.25 seconds of buffer
int frameSize = audioFormat.getFrameSize();
float frameRate = audioFormat.getFrameRate(); // frames per second
int numOfBufferedFrames = (int)(frameRate * bufferTime);
int bufferSize = frameSize * numOfBufferedFrames;
// Create the output data line
DataLine.Info sourceDataLineInfo = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, audioFormat, bufferSize);
sourceClip = (Clip)AudioSystem.getLine(sourceDataLineInfo);
sourceClip.addLineListener(this);
// Prepare the output line for playing
sourceClip.open(audioInStream);
// Start playing
sourceClip.start();This code works perfectly fine on Windows (I am testing on a Windows XP Pro 32-bit machine).
On the other side, this code throws the following exception on Mac OS X:
javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException: Failed to allocate clip data: Requested buffer too large.
     at com.sun.media.sound.MixerClip.implOpen(MixerClip.java:561)
     at com.sun.media.sound.MixerClip.open(MixerClip.java:165)
     at com.sun.media.sound.MixerClip.open(MixerClip.java:256)
     at mypackage.AudioPlaybackThread.run(AudioPlaybackThread.java:70)
     at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:637)The exception is thrown upon the sourceClip.open(audioInStream); call.
Googling around, I discovered that the MixerClip implementation seems to have some inherent buffer size limitation of 1 MB... Isn't it ridiculous?
But why this is working perfectly fine on Windows - even with clips of 4 megabytes -, while not working with larger clips on Mac OS X?
Also, will the following code line influence the size of the buffer used by MixerClip?
DataLine.Info sourceDataLineInfo = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, audioFormat, bufferSize);I know that I could use a SourceDataLine class, and write() data into it in order to reproduce my long audio clip, but I need support for pausing, seeking audio to a specific position, seeking forward, etc., and using a Clip would be absolutely perfect for this purpose!
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marco

Also, will the following code line influence the size of the buffer used by MixerClip?Probably not, no.
