Trouble burning dvd...message: playback may be disabled

i'm having trouble burning dvd through  - share - then checking blue ray box and burning it as AVCHD. i've done it before by following these same steps but this time the dvd player gives me the the playback mabe be disabled message, any suggestions...

no, i'm not trying to burn a blue-ray disc, it's just a box in a burn window that you check even when you're burning regular dvd, so it'll come out as avchd. anyway for some reason i can't get it to work.

  • Troubles burning dvd ?

    Hi,
    I just reinstalled Arch after I accidentally broke my pacman database, and I have some troubles with burning dvd : neither graveman nor growisofs in console works. As soon as I launch the burning I get an error (input/output error). What's very strange is I succeeded two times in burning, but it's not reproductible (I tried something like fifty times).
    So if someone has the same problem and/or knows a way to get it back to work, your post is welcome
    Thanks for helping.

    many people have been having this problem after recent updates. You may want to have a look here:

    Anythoughts are greatly appreciated.

  • Problem burning dvd, message not enough free disk space for encoding remaining assets

    I have never had a issue with burning dvd's before now I am getting an error message

    How much hard drive space do you have remaining?  How much data are you trying to burn (i.e. are you sure the capacity of the disc is high enough?)

  • Trouble burning DVD-R on my combo drive

    Hi !!
    I have a problem burning dvd's on my mac mini combo drive - it keeps giving me a burning error. I've tried several, but cheap, discs and the latest is Datawrite DVD-R 4.7 GB 120 min 16x.
    When I get lucky, that means one of five, and have a successfull burned dvd in my hand ... then the quality is very poor ... My friends use the same discs on an external dvd burner also on the mac mini without any problems.
    Hope you can understand my poor english.. . :-P

    Are you sure you have a Combo Drive? The combo drive only supports CD burning, not DVD burning. You need a Superdrive to burn DVD's.

  • Trouble Burning DVD

    Hello,
    I inserted a Double Layer DVD into my computer and tried to burn a movie file onto it and got thing message:
    The maximum allowed movie duration for a single layer OneStep DVD is 120 minutes. You need to either switch the default media type to double-layer (in the Project application preferences) or select a shorter movie.
    How do I do that? When I go to iDVD>Preferences, I can't click on Preferences, it's gray. WHy is that? What can I do to burn fix this?

  • Trouble Burning DVD's

    I have a project that I put onto iDVD and it was working fine when I went to burn it until I got to the burning phase of the steps. Right afterwards a message came up saying that the burning was not sucessful because it experienced problems. I did it again and the same messsage came up. What should I do about it? Thanks.

    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    b Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
    Also suggest you use Verbatim DVD-R burned at 4X or slower for a reliable burn from the disk image.
    If this doesn't solve your problem, look at the project you are sending to iDVD...

  • Why cant burn dvd message says there where  errors durring project validation

    when I try to save as disc image I get a message that says errors durring project validation and wont let me burn my project used to work fine.can anyone help

    Hi
    My thoughts.
    • Free Space on Your Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - How much ?
    • Brand of DVD used ?
    • Type of DVD used ?
    • Video-Codec, photo file format and Audio file formats used ?
    There is so much that can go wrong - so we need a lose end to start to unwind the problem.

  • Having trouble burning DVD-R DL... can you help?

    Hello, again, folks.
    People have been so nice to me here since I got my new MacBook Pro (late 2011) and am now running Lion (something I couldn't do with my old MacBook Pro (early 2006). So here's a new problem and I hope there will be some kind folks who will help me with a solution.
    Since 2002 I have been burning back-ups of all sorts of files to DVD. Sometimes I just use the Finder, sometimes I have used Toast.
    I am currently using both the Finder burn and Toast Titanium 11.05 to try to burn data disks using DVD-R DL disks. I've only tried four thus far but each time the back-up has failed: twice using the Finder and twice using TT. TT will burn to 99% and then just stop. The Finder method will seem to be chugging along fine but, by the end of the burn, it will present me with an error message (and I number - which I have not written down: if that error # will help, I'll 'waste' another disk to get it).
    I'm wondering if it's a hardware, software or media issue. I have used both Memorex and Verbatim disks, so I don't know if it's the media or not.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction? I don't mind which method I use (although I really prefer Toast for some reason - maybe because I paid so much for it), I just want to be able to back-up my data as I've been doing for the past ten years.
    Thanks in advance,
    Clinton

    Got here from your link Clinton!
    Sig makes an important point. There is no guarantee that the brand of media favoured by one DVD burner will be equally succesfull in another.
    If you have the only one on the planet that likes Memorex, then stick with it!
    For the rest of us there are the brands mentioned in your other thread!

  • Having trouble burning DVD

    I recently finished my first iDVD project since I got my new iMac 3 weeks ago. It seems to burn correctly and the burnt DVD is ejected but iDVD hangs open. It seems that its not finishing the "clean up" portion of the burn process. I have had to force quit it the last three times ive burned the DVD. Seemed okay at first but the DVD it creates is faulty. I have two different kinds of DVD. +R and -R and have three different types of players. Ive tried a combination of all of them and the DVD created will hang at some points on the program and then become unreadable. Any sugestions will be appriciated

  • Trouble burning DVD in Final Cut Pro X (stops at 66%)

    I have been trying to burn a DVD on Final Cut Pro 10.1.4, but I find that it always stops the burning process at 66%.  An error does not pop up; it just simply stops at the same place every time.  I have tried burning different projects of different lengths, I have tried updating Final Cut, I've restarted the computer, and multiple other things that I've seen others have said worked for them, but every time it always stops at 66%.  I have been able to burn about 6 or 7 DVDs successfully before this problem started happening, but now I can't get a single one to work. 
    I seen where some said that this was a common problem in Final Cut when FCP X will hand the job to Create Disc to actually start the burn process, but I don't know how to fix it.
    I've tried so many different processes to make it work; could someone please help!

    Thank you for the reply!  I've been trying to burn each disk without an image for the menu, but I actually even seen where someone had said just to go into it and add a small picture for the background and then delete it and then hit share and that might get it to work. I've tried doing that multiple times, and it hasn't made a difference.  It still stops at 66%.   I didn't know if there was anything else I could try that might fix it.

  • IDVD-Burned DVD and Playback pauses for 30+/- Secs after 99 slides

    I upgraded to iLife 09 to avoid this issue and it still happens. I developed a Varsity Slideshow which I am airing at the VB Banquet on 11/15. I burned a DVD (giving a DVD to each of the girls as a gift of the slideshow) and when I play it back right towards the end the music stops and then 8 or so slides @ 3 seconds go by and then the first slide starts to come up and then goes right back to where I left off at the slideshow and music comes back in where it left off in the song and then plays just great. Quality is amazing except for this one BIG ISSUE! Any way about fixing this?

    That is true, but I was informed that the "NEW" iLife took care of this issue and it was suppose to have been fixed which is why I upgraded. I haven't used iMovie yet and am note sure if I can do this ASAP since I have to have this completed by Monday of next week in order to burn the 20 CD's with an image on the front. Do you know if I can import entire slideshow into iMovies?

  • Trouble burning DVD/ Video TS to make copy

    Ok here is the issue. I have a DVD that I am trying to copy to give to family. No it is not a movie copy. Its a nieces fifteens event that was recorded professionally and put on DVD. I know it can be done because we gave the dvd to someone to burn and the copies worked perfectly.
    The files on the dvd are Audio TS and Video TS.
    I have used both DVD-R and DVD+R dvd's.
    Ok first I send the files to a burn folder. I then open the burn folder and click on the burn icon.
    It request to put in a blank DVD so I do and it burns. The process takes about 10 to 15 min.
    After this I try to play the dvd on the apple dvd player. And it states the the media is not supported.
    So I then try to play it on several of my home DVD player with two different results.
    On a Daewoo dvd player the video plays but starts about 5 min into the DVD.
    On a sony and sanyo DVD players, both to not recognize the dvd and nothing happens. I have done this with both DVD-R and DVD+R.
    I also have a dell laptop with dvd player and it plays on it no problem.
    I have checked the dvds and see that they have all the files mentioned above.
    So what is the issue, is the dvd not getting finalized. What is it that the DVD's don't play on home DVD players.
    Please any advise or solutions to this matter will be greatly appreciated. I have been wasting DVD's left and right trying to figure this thing out.

    First of all, it seems a bit odd that the DVD will play in one, but not in several other players, so I have no idea what the problem could be with that; however, you need to run it through some burning software before you can burn it again (Finder can't do video encoding). Toast ($$) will copy/burn a DVD in a single process if you have two burners/drives or you might want to try to use MPEG Streamclip (free) - you will need to buy the MPEG2 Component from Apple (downloadable purchase, less than $20). With MPEG Streamclip, you can import the video footage - just drag the DVD in the window - and then convert it to a format iMovie or iDVD will recognize - then import it into one of those two and burn it.

  • Error when burning DVD

    I just bought a Mac a few weeks ago, and have had some trouble burning DVD's. I have a G5 running 10.3.9, with a Pioneer Superdrive. I try to burn an image in Disk Utility, but get the error message "The disc is reserved for exclusive use by another application". When I try just burning files using finder, it says "This disc cannot be used". I have tried DVD-R and DVD+R. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi macaboo
    Welcome to apple discussions. Just to add to the already excellent advice kindly provided to you by Fred Shippey;
    I too have one or two suggestions:
    First is to delete the plist for iDvd (but first quit the app). The plist is located in your preferences folder and looks like this (assuming the app has been launched at least once):
    com.apple.iDvd.plist
    Now try your iDvd project again. But if that too fails then ...
    Delete encoded assets from the Advanced menu tab and then try the burn again.
    That procedure looks like this. Hope this helps but if not just come on back. Good luck.

  • Having trouble burning a dvd - error message.

    I recently bought a 2009 macbook on ebay, and when I tried to burn a dvd, it didn't work and would scratch up my discs.  I informed the person I bought it from, and they were nice enough to replace the drive.  I just got it back in the mail and have been trying to burn dvds, but I keep getting an error message when using Toast version 10 and also trying on Toast 8 that says: 
    The Drive reported an error;
    Sense Key = Medium Error
    Sense Code = 0x02
    NO SEEK COMPLETE
    It will start burning on and then when writing the lead out on toast 10, it gives me an error, and that was the error message I caught when I tried to burn using toast 8.  With toast 8 it barely started before that message came up.  I have been trying with Sony DVD-R discs that I am able to use on my mom's iMac from 2008.  I'm confused; should I try a different kind of disc? 

    Welcome to discussions.
    Be certain to use good DVD media.
    You may want to try using Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R 4X.
    Also, save the project as a disk image and burn it as slowly as possible with either the disk utility or Toast™.
