Will Not Burn DVD: Error code 0x8002006D

Hello
I have a 12" PowerBook G4 fitted with a SuperDrive running Tiger 10.4.11. My machine will still play & burn CD's it will still play DVD's but it will not burn DVD's.
When trying to burn a DVD it comes up with following message:
Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred
(Error code 0x8002006D).
I am trying to burn using Verbatim DVD-R, which I have successfully used in the past.
Any ideas what the problem is, and are there any possible solutions?
Thanks for any help.

I've never had any issues with it either, I still think it's a good utility.
For burners, an external would be easiest to use as it plugs into a port on the machine. The lacie burners are ok, overall decent software & firmware support. I tore my apart to use the drive in a G4 tower, software all still works!
Get one that can use firewire & usb. the PPC will boot from a firewire external DVD & it could also be used later, if needed, on a machine that doesn't have FW.
Another option is macsales.com here in the States sells the exact same slot drive apple does for about $90. They do ship internationally, about $25 USD to London. If you want an internal solution this would be the way to go.

    Hello JoanneD
    The iMac Super Drive's, are picky about the brand of dvd.
    1. restart and try again
    2. try cleaning the drive
    3. try another brand of dvd

  • M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker

    Hi,
    My M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.
    I have also had problems burning CDs (unbranded) from Windows XP, built in utility.
    Does the multidrive have problems, with cheaper brand disks?
    Just to note,
    The laptop has been back to the support guys three times so far with various issues.
    (1) The hard drive failed.
    (2) The multidrive failed.
    (3) The motherboard got replaced, because of power failures, it wouldnt charge the battery or recognise that the power adapter was plugged in.
    Note: The harddisk, not the exhaust fan makes the most noise in mine!
    Thanks

    Hi
    As far as I know the preinstalled burning software (i.e. record now, drag ndrop) disabled the Windows XP burning option. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you should to enable this possibility.
    Please go to driver properties (right click). Please select the Recording tab. The option Enable CD recording on this drive should be marked.
    I use the Nero burning software and in my opinion its a one of the best burning programs. Furthermore you should try different CD/DVD manufacturers because some CDs and DVDs are not compatible with some drives. Check the TDK CDs and DVDs. I never had any problems with these medias.
    Best regards

    Encore CS6 will not Burn DVD and freeze then  restart computer.  But if I burn to a Image file then use a program like Image Burn no problem burning a DVD.  Whats up?  The burner is Blu-ray \ DVD burner from Pioneer. All other Adobe suite apps run with no issues.  Computer is windows i7 with 24gig of memory Nvidia Geforce GTX 760  Raid 5 system.

  • Superdrive error and inability to write DVDs (error code 0x8002006D)

    I was attempting to burn media that totaled 4.4 GB on a 4.7 GB single layer quality TDK -DVD-R. It failed on 2 attempts after almost completing the burn, and then on the 3rd attempt i got:
    "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x8002006d)."
    I tried burning a lower capacity CD-R and it worked fine.
    Played a music cd and DVD and it played fine
    Played a CD-r copy of an original music CD and it worked fine.
    I searched the web and it advised that:
    1. your optical lens may be dirty (almost seldom use it, not even to watch DVDs)
    2. a bad batch of media (couldn't be because I have burned from this batch for the past year)
    3. Lens needs calibration (possible via DVD/CD lens cleaners)
    4. try a different brand of media or try a different format DVD+R
    My superdrive gets very minimal use, so I knew this couldn't be a "wear & tear" issue. I opted for option 3 and cleaned my drive using a memorex branded "OptiDisc" CD/DVD cleaner. After attempting to play the cleaner, it never did go to an Audio CD option, it merely spun for about 40 sec and spit out the cleaner.
    I am happy to report that whatever it did, it must have recalibrated the superdrive. now it successfully burns DVD-R again.
    hope this experience helps.

    whatever it did, it must have recalibrated the superdrive
    No - it simply cleaned the lens system. Your #1 "1. your optical lens may be dirty (almost seldom use it, not even to watch DVDs)" Low usage might make the matter more likely; all it takes is a little dust or dirt to get on the lens to cause problems.
    There are TWO optical systems - one for DVDs and one for CDs. The cleaning disc simply 'brushed off' each optical system lens.
    BTW, the burning laser actually calibrates itself to your media before it starts each burn (there is a special area on each writable disc reserved for his purpose).

  • SuperDrive will not burn dvds

    I can burn CDs,play CDs and watch DVDs. I can not burn DVDs. I have iLife but I cannot run iDVD because it is not compatible with of my version of OS. Why I don't know. Why should I have to buy every upgrade that come out? I can live with that, sort of, but why can't I burn a data DVD? I looked for a new driver but there does not seem to be one for Leopard. will I have to buy iLife 09 to bun a DVD?

  • Installed New DVD burner, but it will not burn DVDs

    I just installed a new Pioneer DVR-112D DVD burner but when I try to burn a DVD with iDVD 4 it will not burn a DVD. It looks like iDVD 4 will get to stage 4 of the process but it will not finish burning the DVD. Can anyone help me out?
    Thank you

  • Cd/DVD not burning.  Error Code 0x8002006E when burning DVD's

    I have a MacBook Black and am trying to burn cd's and dvd's. I have tried multiple brands of DVD and CD and can get the cd's to burn once in a while with a microboards printable cd. When they don't burn I get either an error saying something about not being able to calibrate laser power, or it goes through like it's burning and shows up on the desktop, but when I go to open the disk, there is nothing on it. DVD's never finish, giving me the error code 0x8002006E. It will also not read any DVDr's on the machine. Stamped DVD's (store bought)are fine, but multiple brands of DVDr will not read. All of the burned DVD's I have are personal movies and music videos that I made on the machine. Anyone have any suggestions? Is my superdrive toast?

    You can check in system profile and select disc burning to verify what cd/dvds are readable by your superdrive....Also with that error message you can try removing any extra ram chip installed, with that model powerbook it also has onboard ram built into logic...being a disc reading problem id say its the superdrive itself, you can try cleaning the lens with those cleaning discs you buy from electronic stores..Burn disc whilst running on power adaptor and not battery...
    just a few things to try might help you

  • DVD burner will not burn DVD-RW

    CPU=Athlon 2000+
    RAM=512MB  10ns
    PSU=300W 240V
    HD=Western digital 80GB 8MB cache ( WD800JB)
    Motherboard=MSI K7n2g-L
    Bios=4.1
    VGA=Nvidia on board
    VGA_Driver=6.13.10
    Optical_Device=liteon SOHW-1653S
    Other=NIL - OS is Win XP
    I have a problem with my liteon DVD burner installation. Its a recently released model SOHW-1653s.
    The drive has been installed and works fine for DVD-R single write DVD's and CD-R and CD-RW but will not erase or write to DVD-RW media. The errors I get differ when I try various DVD-RW media brands. from "illegal disk type "  to " illegal mode for this track "
    I put the drive in a socket 370 Celeron running Win 98 and it will burn both DVD-R and DVD-RW OK.
    So in desperation, I then shadowed the harddrive on my MSI machine and reformated and reinstalled Win XP.  The drive will still not recognise DVD-RW. I also tried various combination of media. mucking around with the IDE BIOS settings, changing around the drive from master slave configs and have uploaded the latest drive firmware and motherborad firmware. I contacted Liteon technical support and they advised to remove the nforce MCP IDE driver in leiu of a default one, but im not sure that is possible not to mention it probabaly would comprmise system performance.
    The problem is obviously with the motherboard. Can anyone advise what steps to take to remedy the fault?
    Thx

    Thx Wonkaboy.
    Well I didn't roll back ( to an nvidia dirver ) I went back to standard dual channel IDE driver - the XP provided one and the burner started to work. phew! Albeit at 2x DVD-RW instead of 4x. Not sure why that is....
    Then I thought what the heck I'll try the nvidia driver that I had installed on the machine before I wrote the original thread. And guess what it also works. Im not sure what happened. Maybe a dll was not installed or something. I have spent 2 days on and off with all sorts of variations of hardware configurations including an OS reinstall. Anyhow it's working now and thats
    PS: The driver that MSI provides is different to the one obtained by going directly to the Nvidia site. ie the nvidia one is 5.10.2600.412 dated 1/13/2004. And the one provided by MSI is 6.1.2600.0 dated 5/13/2002. Im now using the later one. I cannot say if the earlier one works.

  • Finder/Disc Utility/Toast Will Not Burn DVD+R, DVD-R

    I have an iMac that will no longer burn DVDs. I've tried various brands of DVD+R, DVD-R and DVD+R DL all of them do not burn in the finder, disc utility, or Toast. CDs burn fine. DVD+R DL discs burned previously with this machine will no longer mount. I just wiped the hard drive and reinstalled OS X and ran all updates and still have the problem.
    Media brands tried: OfficeMax, TDK, Maxell, JVC, Sony.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Disk Utility will not burn DVDs

    Disk Utility will no longer burn DVDs. I have tried both Memorex and Verbatim DVD+R DL -- Disk Utility tells me the disks are locked, not writable, capacity 0. These are fresh DVDs right off the spindle. I am, however able to write to these same DVDs using Burn, so it's not a media problem. Tried deleting preferences for Disk Utility, tried using Drive Genius 2 to repair the HD, but it didn't show any problems. Any solution short of doing a clean install of the system?

    Hi-
    Will the drive read any discs?
    Have you tried burning a disc at slower speed?
    Have you tried a different, quality brand of disc?

  • HT4623 will not restore getting error code 3194?,

    cannot restore getting error code 3194,  any advice

    Actually usually it happens when itunes is not up to date or not compatible with that iOS.
    michaelamoore11 - If you are trying to restore and you had iOS 7 on it, make sure that your itunes is up to date with 11.1 or you will get that message. Once you update, then you can restore

  • N500 Optical drive will not burn DVD's

    When I try to burn a DVD +R with the internal Optiarc DVDRW DL in my N500, the drive acts like it is trying to read the disc and then ejects it and asks for a disc. I have tried several discs, each with the same result. I was able to burn DVD's from the same spindle with no problems on other machines.
    The drive reads DVD's and will burn a CD.
    Any clues as to what could be done to fix it?
    If it's not fixable, can I get a replacement DVD drive. I cannot find one on the Lenovo parts and accessories web pages.
    Thanks,
    Tim Holmes

  • My HP DVD-RAM GH40L SCSI DVD burner will burn CDs and DVD+Rs, but it will not burn DVD-Rs.

    I have only tried to burn CDs and DVD+Rs before, and both work fine, but when I tried to burn a DVD-R, it failed.  I put the same blank DVD-R in my HP notebook computer, and it burned it just fine.  This happened twice, so it is not the DVDs.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the burner with device manager, but still have the same problem.  Is there a firmware update or something that will fix this, or do I just have a defective burner?  Thanks!
