I would have said try another DVD (you might have a bad blank disc) but from a quick look at the links it might be more complicated than that...

i have used different disks and tryed slowed burnin speeds but still get the same error. has anyone else had this error here? i hope its not the lazer goin bad.

Have you tried say burning an audio cd and checking if it works in any other machine?

Ok, I had a proper look at the google link I posted myself now I have more time and I think it either comes down to using cheap discs (what discs have you tried btw? what brand I mean) or it could be a dirty/dusty lens. Someone fixed their problem by using a dvd lens cleaner. So it might work for you, but if you have been consistantly using cheap dvds then that might be part of the problem too.

i get that on rare occasion, sometimes the disks still work perfectly. sometimes i feel it is due to having a fingerprint or something else on the disk

the disks are FUGIFILM. they were the cheapest at my bestbuy.

i took the same file and burned in on my mini with one of the disks that wasnt workin on the iMac. it worked fine.

i guess the next step is ta clean the lens. any suggestion on how? i figure its i special cd with brushes on it. what do you guys use?

i thank you all for your help

That has popped up once or twice for me. The few times it happen was when it was the first disk of the stack. I always use Maxell DVD-R.

The last time i saw that i did three things. Not sure what resolved it. I did something with buffer over/under run, reduced the burn speed and used better media. I tend to use Verbatim, TDK, Imation, and Fujii.

Hmmm, I've never seen that error before...
