Sometimes it wont burn

I have been trying to burn a number of simple menu with one track dvd of the same footage some work and some don't. When they don't i get...
The recording device reported the media error: Unknown device error. (0x0C, 0x00.)
Out of the 16 i have tried 7 have been unsuccessful. It never gets through formatting properly. I have never encountered this problem before and have over the past couple of months done the same with no issue.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Honestly, I know this sounds crazy, but this just happened to me. Try using a different kind of disk. I bought a 5 pack of Memorex DVD+R DL's and two of the four I tried did not work. Thankfully the other two seem to have worked. Crazy fluke of a thing!

I bought Macbook Air early 2014. Ever since i bought it to turn it on after a long ie. 5hr - 6hr i have to first charge it for at least 15 mins and sometimes it wont turn on for 3hr - 4hr and then it will turn on regardless of the battery charged.

If i had put it on sleep even then it wont turn on it will work as usual as it is suppose to do. I went to icare twice and they game me the device back after 1-2 weeks saying it is now not giving any issue but when i will used it next morning again same thing happened. It's like i can never go out anywhere with the laptop outside as i have to first charge it and then turn it on. Icare wont replace my device they only say if there is any issue with the hardware we will replace that hardware but i think it is useless because they don't know what the issue is. Can someone help me out what to do now ? It's been to iCare ever since i bought it now i don't want them to again do the same thing.

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.

Dvd wont burn movie all the way

The dvd is 4.7 GB and the movie is 4.1 the dvd wont burn the whole movie it stops a little before the movie is over. HOw do we burn a long movie onto dvd?

What is the total playing time of your movie? iDVD 5 has a 120 minute limit, including menus, in the Best Quality setting or a 60 minute limit in the Best Performance setting. The size of the files is not the determining factor, just the playing time.

HT1645 I have changed the encoder preference to all the different settings but it still wont burn my cd! What should I try next?!

What should I try next? I have a movie in iDVD all set up to go and it keeps telling me that there is an encoding error, so I have changed it to all three settings but it still wont burn and shows me the same error.

Hi
• Delete iDVD pref. file
iDVDpref. file resides.----> Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iDVD.plist
com.apple.iDVDApp.plist (may be ? - not sure this exist)
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
But there are better ways to do this - but as I'm only in Mac OS X.6.? - I have no hand on know how - but the above way works if carefully done.

My imac keeps ejecting my discs, wont burn anything either

my imac keeps ejecting my discs, wont burn anything either

Are these CDs? DVDs? or both?
Have you tried using a different brand of disks? Some work better than others.
Does it eject all disks or only some? Only blank disks or some that have already been made? Commercial disks or burned?

Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

IDVD 7.0.1 on OS X 10.5.2 wont burn, sometimes will, sometimes lies

Very inconsistent performance.
Sometimes it works fine.
Sometimes when I open older projects to burn another copy it'll choke on encoding.
When I create a new project with the same old files, it works.
It may say it worked but the DVD only plays on computer DVD drives and not regular, ranch stash DVD players.
more than a little irritating. Permissions have been fixed, it doesn't matter.

Ty Ford

Hi Ty
*When not knowing what to do.*
There are a set of things to test:
1. Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk: It should have 25Gb or more. This is especially important when running iDVD.
iDVD can’t address any other hard disk as scratch-disk so space is of uttermost importance.
2. The Hard disk is untidy:
Repair Permissions (Apple Disc Util tool) - Run this
Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool) - To run this You need to start from a CD/DVD or external hard disk.
3. Delete iDVD pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and have a re-try
4. Let Your Mac turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help.
5. Program miss-match:
iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.3.9 AND QuickTime 6.5.2 - is OK
iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4 - is OK
iDVD 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4 - is OK
6. UPDATES - is important: iLifeSupport8.1.1.dmg is important for running iLife08 bundle.
7. iDVD (08) Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
8. Mac OS X.5 (Leopard) - at least iDVD 1 to 4 - don’t work any more
9. Trying to collect info on. Leopard system:
iDVD08 - - - - - - - - - - not working - - - -> Should be soluble
iDVD 6 - - - - - - - - - - not working - - - -> Should be soluble
iDVD 5 - - - - - - - - - - not working - - - -> Don’t bother - will not work
iDVD 4 or previous - - - - not working - - - -> Don’t bother - will not work
