[QUOTE="Lucy Gibbs, post: 426821, member: 33356"] Emac - running OSX 3.9 purchased October 2004 External LaCie DVD burner (USB and Firewire) purchased June 2007 Initially I had a problem trying to burn DVDs to the external LaCie DVD burner - the DVDs wouldn't burn giving me these error messages: Buffer underrun error. Writing was halted because data could not be sent to the recorder fast enough to maintain the current write speed. Please try again with a slower write speed. -50 interface error the connection is not stable I’ve tried (unsucessfully): Using different types of blank DVDs both RW and R Writing at the slowest speed possible x1 and x2 Burning from Toast, Finder, Iphoto I even tried re-installing Toast I also tried attaching the DVD burner to a PC – it burnt the DVD but didn’t verify it sucessfully. 12GB of space are free on the Hard Disk so there should have been enough space to burn the DVD. I then remembered that in the past the emac has once in a while had problems burning a CD but on a second attempt it’s been fine. So I then tried to burn a CD using the emacs internal drive. I tried three times with no sucess and these messages: The drive reported an error sense key medium error sense code OXOC write error 2nd time: Sector 623 is unreadable verification failed 3rd time (after burning a cd in Itunes) when I try to play it I get the message No volumes that the mac can read. I am now worried that it is more serious than something to do with the CD or DVD burner. Thanks in advance for any advice. [/QUOTE]
