I had never burned a DVD on my MacBook, which I have had for a year now, so earlier today I decided to try it out, as I wanted to give a friend a film which I have on my hard disk. The first time I inserted a blank DVD-R it took a long time for the dialog box to appear and ask me what I wanted to do, but it eventually did, and I successfully burned my film onto the DVD.
However, when I tried to do exactly the same operation on another identical blank DVD-R, I heard a lot of spinning and no dialog box appeared. Also, the disk image failed to appear on the desktop and the DVD was spat back out.
I've tried this several times to no avail, and I can't seem to find a reasonable explanation. It worked once before, and apparently DVD-Rs should pose no problems, just like the first and only one I have managed to burn. Could there be something wrong with my Superdrive?
Any suggestions welcome.
