Sense Code Error 31000 while burning DL DVD Encore CS5 Macbook Pro

While attempting to burn a Dual Layer DVD on my Macbook Pro I got this error: "Sense Code 31000" just before it started to burn.
I changed the burn speed, verified my laptop burns DVD+R DL discs. Any help is much appreciated. Must burn a master to duplicated 100 dvds by Friday. Thanks!

Hi,
Sense Code errors are hardware or blank media related.
Try to burn with other blank disc, if it does not work then the problem may be because of burner.
Thanks,

    Is this a data DVD or a 'movie'?

  • Why do i keep getting error message while burning a DVD using iMovie footage?

    I made an iMovie, loaded it into iDVD, watched it on my MacBook, tried to burn it and received an error message along the way saying that it couldn't continue.  Another pop-up simultaneously said that I had to choose a source for my blank DVD-R.  What am I missing?

    How did you load it into iDVD?
    The recommended way is to
    1) in iMovie, use the Share menu to SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER in Large Size.
    2) Open the Media Browser in iDVD (at lower right) and drag in the movie you just shared.
    3) Set up any menus and such and burn your DVD.
    Is that what you did?

  • Can't Burn "Imation DVD+R" on Macbook Pro

    Hello, a couple of days ago I tried to burn some files on an "Imation DVD+R." I have an entire spindle of blank Imation DVD + R (Single Layered) and the computer refuses to burn any file on any of them. The discs themselves are in excellent condition.
    When I used the "Finder Burner," I got the following error:
    "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
    When i used an application called "Burn" and the "Disc Utility," I got the follow error:
    "The disc can't be burned; it might be incompatible with this disc drive. Please try a different brand of disc, or try burning at a slower speed."
    I went to the Apple Store and told a Genius what was going on. He put a "Staple DVD-R" and it worked flawlessly. He told me that he believed I purchased a bad "spindle of discs" because "normally Imation works just fine." I went home and tried to burn a file on the disc using my mother's computer (a PC). The disc burned flawlessly. I have about 30 blank DVDs that remain in this spindle. I would hate to get rid of all of them. What worries me is that I think my computer once burned these Imation DVD+Rs just fine (like I said, I really don't remember.)
    I called AppleCare and was transferred to a Senior Manager. He said for me to send my computer in and he'll replace the optical drive.
    Before I do so, does anyone have any suggestions? Is anyone else unable to burn these Imation DVD+Rs?
    Here are some specs on my computer:
    - Macbook Pro (Late 2008)
    - Snow Leopard (10.6.4)
    - Optical Drive is "MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868"
    Thanks for any advice you can give me.
    Best,
    --André

    A brief update:
    I dropped my computer off to FedEx on Thurs. evening (6:30 pm) and received it back on Sat. morning (8:30 am). That was incredibly fast!
    Anyway, the following parts were replaced.
    - ODD Super Drive (Symptom: Optical Drive Read/Write Data Error)
    - Main Logic Board 2.4Ghz (Symptom: Sensors Test Failed)
    - Optical Cable (Symptom: Drive Read/Write Data Error)
    Moral of the story: if a Genius finds a "work-around" a the problem rather than trying to determine the actual cause of the problem, call AppleCare. Do not be afraid to speak with a Senior Manager (because, in my cause, the normal AppleCare technician didn't think anything was wrong.)
    Thanks again for your all help.
    Best,

  • An error occurred while burning the disc.

    I tried to burn some stuff onto a DVD today with my PowerBook. Here's the info on the burner:
    MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E:
    Manufacturer: MATSHITA
    Model: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E
    Revision: DMP2
    Serial Number:
    Drive Type: CD-RW/DVD-RW
    Disc Burning: Apple Supported/Shipped
    Removable Media: Yes
    Detachable Drive: No
    I bought some DVD's on sale at Radio Shack, and when I tried to burn a movie and a few photos onto a disc, the progress bar showed it starting to burn, then it stopped and I got this message:
    "An error occurred while burning the disc. This disc cannot be used."
    A little research here at the Apple forum brought me to this site:
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
    And after downloading a little program called DVD Media Inspector, I was able to classify the DVD's I had bought as:
    "4TH CLASS MEDIA:
    Pathetic garbage media, landfill material, about 0-50% success rate...."
    OK, off to Mega Lo Mart, where I bought some nice, expensive Maxell DVD's.
    Media Inspector doesn't see my fancy new DVD's. When I try to burn stuff using the Finder, I get the same result as before.
    Getting desperate at that point, I located and downloaded updated firmware for my model of Matshita superdrive. I'm not sure what firmware is, and there was a free range one and a standard one, so I went for the standard one. There were dire warnings in the readme file about "flashing" a superdrive being on the same risk level as open heart surgery. I flashed my superdrive. (You can say that here, and it's not dirty.)
    I also tried burning using iDVD, and after much preparation, it started to burn, then spit out the DVD. I tried three of the landfill DVD's and two of the Maxell ones. I'm out of things to try. Any ideas?
    I have never tried burning DVD's before. Am I doing something wrong?

    I tried again using iDVD's One-Step DVD making feature. It will let you make a one step from a movie file, and I had a .dv version of the movie I want to burn.
    It encoded video for a while, encoded audio for a little while, then started to burn. The superdrive made some noises, then the DVD was ejected and I got an error message saying:
    "Burning Finished
    Errors were found during the burning process"
    I hit OK (though it really wasn't OK) and got another error message box. This one said:
    "Multiplexer error
    (some message about multiplexing problem)"
    The message didn't make sense to me, and I was unable to remember it. What's a multiplexer? I would have guessed an avid movie-goer, but somehow I think that is not it.

  • "Drive Reported an Error" message when burning a DVD+RW

    Hi, all!
    I am trying to burn a rewritable DVD, HP DVD+RW on my Matshita R UJ 857E and each time I try I always get the following message:
    *Drive Reported an Error:*
    *Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR*
    *Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03*
    This happens with a few RW DVD disks that I tried to burn. The disks are HP disks and they work correctly on a PC.
    Please, advise!

    Hi All
    I'm also having problems burning DVDs on my MacBook Pro, no problems buring CDs.
    Each time I try to burn a DVD the disc is ejected, often during finishing, and 'medium write error'is displayed. I have tried different media and varying speeds but with no success, Suggestions?
    After reading and testing a lot, I am convinced this is a DVD ROM problem. I believe, MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857E has some problems with some brands DVD+R discs.
    I simply cannot figure out what is the reason to go on using those dvd roms in MakBooks after so many problems reported...

  • Mashita uj-846 Sense code error

    I was here yesterday with a problem that all disks were rejected by my Super Drive. One response suggested cleaning - duh! why didn't I think of that?. That brought me some improvement. I can now PLAY CD's and DVD's - but recording is still an almost no go.
    I started with Taiyo Yuden DVD-R 8X White Inkjet Hub Printable (which I was led to believe, from several forums, are the best available). These are rejected - period. I cannot get Disc Info using Toast8. They are ejected without being read.
    So I purchased 5 Memorex DVD+RW. One time, I was able to use Toast8 Disk Info. The report came back properly describing the DVD. When I tried to record a movie to it, Toast8 went thru all of the encoding step just fine. From that I presumed that what I had as input was usable. When Toast8 came to the write step, I got the Sense Code error message. Since then, the DVD-RW disks are rejected immediately. In an attempt to find what the error message might mean, I found that it could be a magnitude of problems - a real catch-all, non-descriptive error message.
    So, I thought I would see if the unit would do any writing. I found the Memorex Printable CD-R (52X-700mb-80minutes) that was included with my DVD/CD printer. I took the same movie that I had been trying to do as a DVD with Toast8, and set Toast8 up for a Video CD. It wrote fine. I don't know what I Did in Toast8 to cause an acceleration, but it took a 48 minute clip and compressed it into a bit over 2 minutes. Everything was visible, just fast. It was like a VCR on FF. If everything else was ok, I could learn my way out of that goof.
    So the summary of all that I've tried. My unit seems to be trying to do the write thing, but is being fussy about the media?? Do all of these symptoms ring any bells with anyone - other than the obvious that was expressed in my other quest - forget the Mashita and go to an external? Is there any media that is know to consistently work with the Mashita?

    The SuperDrive has a well-earned reputation for being fussy about media. And as the unit gets older and has sucked in dirt, this does not get better.
    If you want to stick with using an internal drive, I'd suggest a replacement from OWC.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/mac-mini/superdrive/
    If you want to do the work yourself, it's not too hard once you get the case open. Or OWC can do the upgrade (and any other upgrades at the same time) for $99 plus parts, which includes overnight shipping.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/mac-mini/install
    They will also sell you an external, tray-loading firewire burner -- which would be less fussy about media, and likely more robust and faster.

    I got an error message while burning a CD in iTunes - "the attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    The disk you are using probably has a defect, not uncommon on consumer grade disks. Try another disk or better yet another disk from a different manufacturer or at least a different batch.

  • I'm unable to burn DVDs on my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    Hello all,
    I'm unable to burn DVDs on my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running 10.4.8. When I go to burn a DVD I get one of two codes 0X8002006D, 0X80020022, why is that a 3,000 CPU cant burn a DVD. My Mac is total up to date with all software and firmware. I saw in the Discussions that I'm not the first person to have this issue but I don't see an answer from Apple, I'm pretty sure it not the DVDs (Memorex DVD-R 16X) because my ****** pc can burn them and it was a 100 pack that I used about 50 from it that I burn on both Macs and the ****** PC. I also have a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 2.5 GB DDR SDRAM running 10.4.8 which is also unable to burn them and it also comes up with the same errors. I have not had this issue until I updated my Macs to 10.4.8, PLEASE HELP.
    Thanks,
    Coons

    Yes I can play CDs and DVDs but I was not able to burn a 4.01GB folder, I have since decreased the folder size to 3.75 and was able to burn the DVD. I'm creating another just to double check, my G5 was unable to complete the task and I also gave a shot at a 2.77GB folder and it failed I also gave a 200Mb file a chance but it still did not burn. I was able to burn the same 200MB file on a CD, PLEASE I NEED HELP.
