Re: DVD burn gives blank disc

[Daniel Kerr]

I've had the same happen with a client's machine.
It won't read burnt disks on 10.6.8 on either an internet burner and an 
external burner).
Yet they worked ok in other computers with a different OS.
A full erase of the system and a clean install with manually moving the data 
back. And the disks worked ok and read fine.

(This was after trying multiple other things to try solve the issue as well. 
Worked through lots of different things, nothing solved it. So appeared to be 
something corrupted over time,….).
And it's still working ok to this day.

So though I can't offer an exact "why" or "what",…just thought I'd mention that.
May not be the same issue as yours, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Something to try though, could be just check for updates. Then re-install 
Toast. I also had a feeling there was a Toast plug in that could be removed, 
but don't have that in front of me at the moment. (There also used to be a 
"toast burner" add-on that helped sometimes as well. (if I can find my notes on 
it from a long time ago,…..)

Kind regards
Daniel

Have you looked at the disk with, say, Mpegstreamclip or similar?  That will 
show if it really is blank.

DVD burn gives blank disc

[David Noel]

I am wondering if anyone can give me a suggestion as to why burning a
DVD with Toast sometime gives me a blank disc.

I'm using both Toast 8 and Toast 10, and burning a disc image created
previously by Toast. The burn appears to go normally, and Toast 10
even says "Disc XXX burned successfully", but on inserting the disc
into a reader (OS X 10.6.8, 2 GHz Intel Core Duo iMac), the system
says "You have inserted a blank disc".

I actually have 2 disc burners, the internal one (now not always
reliable), and an external Samsung one which I use routinely. I have
wondered if the system gets confused which drive it is writing to,
though I do check the "Recorder Settings" carefully.

The problem happens quite a lot, but not always, sometimes the burn
goes straightforwardly. Any ideas?
