Trouble burning Sony dvd-r discs

I am not able to burn video to Sony brand DVD-r discs and I am able to burn to memorex discs of same type, if I slow down the burn rate from 8x to 3x. Any way I can use the Sony Discs? Thanks.

Hi! Sense You have not posted your model number found on the bottom of your laptop; there's no way for us to know what OS you have or any thing else. How many different Sony DVD's have you tried to burn video?? If you have W7, there are trouble shooting features in the Action Center, which can be accessed from search.

Trouble burning a DVD

Hi I'm having trouble burning a DVD. When I click burn, it all goes well until it's finished when it says that the HVDVD_TS folder was not included in the final disc. If anybody can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

what up J
what is it you want to burn, sounds liek a "hddvd". if thats the case check out my previous post at

I have been having trouble burning a DVD.

I have been having trouble burning a DVD. It goes through all the steps until it gets to the multiplexing "burn" step and then with 3 minutes left the disk pops out. The disk is left empty and an error comes up. I have been able to burn DVD's before, so this is frustrating.

Well - not correct answer as I understands it - This is a very complex question. In my case I'de put a button just touching the TV-Safe area boarder. Moving it a minute inside and the Error disappeared.
BUT - there are so many other things that I collected a long long list on this - read and see if You find help here.
Multiplexing Error
PART One.
Use of strange video/audio material eg .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
Audio = .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else coverted to this .aff 48KHz)
Chapters !
A. Using strange letters in video project name eg +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name eg +
as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
B. Location of Chapters
• Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
• Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
PART Two.
from Robert Modero.
"Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
Once I did that, I was back in business.
from Boise Jim
Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on grey background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
I use only - Verbatim DVDs
I use only - DVD-R
I burn at an as slow speed possibly eg x1
This gives good DVDs
PART Three.
Multiplex Error
Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutly needed.
eg external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.
3 Chapter marks in transitions - minimum 2 sec from

First, I do not think that mixing widescreen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taio Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on grey background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
Hopefully this can help other people.

Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the uneditited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
One project worked fine in creating disk image file
The other gave Multiplex Errors
I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
This time multiplex errors gone
So had something to do with chapters
So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
After numerous trys, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no mulitplex error
As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 secs beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
Russ One - suggest this
Multiplexer Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
Yours Bengt W

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™.

I have an '09 15" mac book pro running os x mavericks and I'm having trouble burning a dvd.

I have an '09 15" mac book pro running os x mavericks and I'm having trouble burning a dvd. In iMovie, I sent my movie to file and then to iDVD to burn a copy. It was saved in Documents. When I went to iDVD, the thumbnail image of the movie to be burned was faded and inoperable. What's going on now?

Did you export the movie out of iMovie as 480p? Next just drag the movie from the Documents folder into the iDVD menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Lastly follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.

Error message when burning to Sony DVD-r discs

Just bought 200 Sony DVD-R printable discs from Costco, and I am trying to burn a 15 minute short film in DVD studio pro. The DVD just spins in Formatting and I get this message:The recording device reported the media error: Unknown device error.
I have burned this same film many times with my Nexxtech DVD's and it works fine, but the Sony discs don't seem to work. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
D-

Try burning at the lowest possible speed (probably DVDx2) and see if they work.

Does Superdrive stop seeing already burned Sony DVD-RW's?

I use .mac's Backup program with Sony DVD-RW's. Out of a box of ten, I've had 3 that Backup initially "sees", but then when it tries to burn, the burn fails.
After that, I can't get Disk Utility or Finder to "see" the DVD-RW. Note, the DVD-RW's in question were successfully burned at least once before this occurs.
Is there anyway to restore or erase the DVD-RW's so that Finder/Disk Utility and/or .mac Backup can use them?
Or do I have an extraordinarily bad box of discs?
iBook G4 1Ghz/iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.3)

No doubt you shouldn't be having this problem.
But never rule out the DVD media you are using.
Sorry to say there is a huge difference in quality and compatiblity.
I would try something like Maxell 16X DVD-R media
I always read the back of the Jewel cases and make sure they will burn 1X through 16X this way it will burn on just about anything out there. There quality is top notch and you can buy them in a 3 pack for under $4.00
See if that helps. Cheers Don

How do I burn a DVD R disc with Windows Movie Maker? It indicates disc error on my DVD player. Someone thought it had something to do with Itunes? I reloaded Itunes 1 month ago and had no problem creating this disc then. Help

I have made several DVD+R discs in the past using Windows Live Movie Maker sucessfully. I made one about one month ago for my son's b-day. I am using the same discs as I had then. When I tried to burn the disc, it indicates that it is burning, however, when I insert it into the DVD player at home on our TV (like I"ve always done), it indicates disc error. Someone mentioned that the burner goes out every now and then when Itunes is uploaded? When I burn the disc, I can pull it up on my home and work computers, so I know that it is there.

Yes, you can distribute a burned disk of the project to those who can create duplicate disks. Or create a disk image of the iDVD project using the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.
Then you can distribute the disk image to those who will burn the disks. For PCs you'll have to convert the .dmg file to a .iso file so they can burn it. This website describer how: Mac Help - Convert and Burn Mac .dmg or .img to .iso Windows PC-Compatible Disk Image
Suggest to them to 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.
It would be prudent to rest your optical drive for about 30 minutes after burning 3 disks in a row. That will give the laser time to cool down before you start another batch.

Trouble burning a DVD for a DVD player

I am fairly new to Mac so forgive my ignorance but I am having the hardest time burning a DVD-RW in such a way that it will be readable by a DVD player. I have a blu-ray player that can read MP3 and MP4 and still I get a message that says it cannot play the disc. I have tried using Disk Utility, Burn, and iPhoto Slideshow Export.
It works perfectly fine for both Mac and PC computers but not for a DVD player. What are the options?

Have you checked your DVD player that it can actually read DVD-RW? Some cannot. Just out of curiosity - why would you burn to a re-writable disk?
If it is a video/slideshow, then you do need authoring/burn software such as Burn or Roxio Toast in order to burn it in a format DVD players can handle. Finder cannot burn a video/slideshow which will playable in a DVD player.

Select multiple playlists for burning to DVD Data disc?

Hi, i need to burn about 5 playlists to a DVD Data Disc for temp backup, iTunes only is allowing me to select one playlist at a time. Of corse one play list is about 300 meg and this is totally wasteful of a DVD.
Anyone know how to burn multiple playlists to a single disc? maybe some other app can read iTunes's playlists and provide burning?
I want each playlist to create a self titled folder on disc with the tunes in each.
Thanks

Hi man, good idea.
Unfortunately, in iTunes, the "Burn Data Disc" button disappears when the folder is selected, in addition to the burn menu item. The burn button reappears when a single playlist inside the folder is selected, unfortunately again, more than one playlist cannot be selected.
It does appear iTunes can burn only 1 single playlist to a disc or the entire library and nothing in between which is very problematic for me right now.
Sadly the "Back Up to Disc" option in the File menu provides the following options :
"Back Up entire iTunes library and playlist"
"Back Up only iTunes Store purchases"
This appears also to be useless.
Toast 8 won't import exported iTunes XML playlists either and just burn the tracks in each playlist to a folder on the disk.
Suppose we need "iTunes Pro" to do something simple as I require :-((

Help - can't burn DL DVD+R discs

I just purchased a spindle of Memorex Dual Layer DVD+R discs to backup some of my project folders that are too large for single layer DVDs.However, I am getting the following error message at the start of every time I try to burn a disc.
"The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022)."
I've been reading that others are also having a problem with burning DL-DVDs. Is this a drive problem or a media problem?
After the first 2 tries, I checked the "About this Mac" and saw that under "Disc Burning" it said I have a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868 drive and that for both CD write and DVD write it says -R -RW. Does that mean it doesn't support +R discs or DL discs.
I went back to the tech spec page for the MacBook Pro that I have (I bought it 3-1/2 months ago, so it's still new and should have the same specs listed, and there it states the specs as "Maximum write: 8x DVD-R, DVD+R; 4x DVD-R DL (double layer), DVD+R DL (double layer), DVD-RW, DVD+RW; 24x CD-R; 10x CD-RW"
So what is the issue here, and is there a fix for this?

Hi eric,
Your drive, as the specs say, should be able to burn +R discs.
As Bram has suggested , when only -R discs appear under system profiler this can usually be rectified by simply resetting the PRAM, and sometimes simply by restarting normally, though on rare occasions some level of OS re-installation can also be required.
Those Memorex discs are a bit of a worry , too, though. Generally you are better off sticking with Verbatim, Maxell or TDK with Apple drives. Memorex have a somewhat unfortunate reputation for compatibility problems, I'm afraid, though it depends which actual third party manufacturer has supplied them with your particular batch to some extent.
But you will need to sort out the "-R only" problem first regardless. Once you have done this you may find that your particular batch of Memorex are fine. I'd be very wary about buying them for your Mac in future , though.
Cheers

MSI DR-8A burns horrible DVD+R disc!!!

Help,
Does anyone experience the same problem as I do?
My MSI DR-8A burns DVD+R of horrible quality. Note that I am using high quality media like PRODISC03 and RICOHJPN02, but whenever I run Nero Disc Quality scan with my BenQ 1620, I get a load of errors and eventually the scanning stops due to some "fatal" unreadable error!
And yes, I have configured all my hardware correctly... Was using firmware 130D. Updated to 160D and no difference too!

I'm using the DR8-A2 and have experienced sporadic problems when burning audio-CDs (on CD-R media, not DVD) using Nero6. Haven't done any analysis of the discs or anything, but sometime when playing nero-burned audio-CDs in my car CD player, I get increadible white-noise on top of the music usually from track 10 onwards. If I then burn the exact same compilation (from MP3 files) using the Roxio Easy CD creator 5 software the problems are gone. I know it may sound kinda silly, but it's almost like the data hasn't been burned properly to the disc when using Nero. And yes, the burn speed has been the same in both Nero and ECDC. Also, this has happened on several different brands of CD-R media.

Whirring Noises while Burning Sony DVD

Hi Everyone;
I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem - I'd like to determine if it's a hardware (Matisha DVD-R UJ-846) or media problem. On occasions, when I go to burn a DVD, the drive makes a very loud, deep, whirring noise - like it's spinning up, then down, then up (and so-on). This is with toast 6, btw. If I leave it going, it returns an error (I'm not sure what the error is right now - I now cancel it because anything that makes that sort of noise can't be good...)
This is with Sony DVD-R media burnt at 4x (disk allows up to 8x, but have read elsewhere that the Superdrives don't like 8x media) but would this be enough to cause that sort of noise? Or does it require a trip to Apple?
The main problem is that it isn't consistent - I've successfully burnt some, and not others, but am reluctant to keep it running should it cause some internal damage...
Any help would be appreciated.

The problem was simply the media. Changing to some another brand of disks fixed the problem.

TS4522 Trouble burning Blu-ray or disc image using Share

On version Final Cut Pro x 10.0.6, When I try to share to a DVD disc it tells me there is not enough space on the DVD disc , the project is 2:30 minutes, I put dual DVD .
After that just update on version Final Cut Pro x 10.0.8
I have a tried to burn to a Blu-Ray to the hard drive as a disc image using Share>Blu-ray. when trying to share Blu-Ray to the hard drive I get this error after a day of transcoding:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (DSPPublishing error -1024.)
I am using
Apple Mac Pro ,Mac OS X, Late 2008)

Please any one can help me for this trouble shut.

This may (or may not) be a separate issue – crashing rather than the DSP Publishing error.
Two suggestions – both relying on Digital Rebellion.
First use their Preference Manager to trash your preferences. Most of the crashes I've experienced over the past year of using FCPX have been remedied by trashing pref files.
Second, DR has a suite of utility apps called Pro Maintenance Tools. PMT has a crash analyzer that will provide both diagnostic info and recommendations. The suite isn't cheap, but there is a trial version you can download to evaluate.
