DVD-R burning with Apple Superdrive

[tdmguy]

Anyone having success burning data DVD-R backups with an Apple Superdrive? Apple claims that their DVD-R spec only accomodates video DVD-R's burned from iMovie, but Roxio says that Toast 5.0.2 should work.

I've gotten two to burn successfully, but most of the time, Toast hangs when a blank Apple DVD-R is inserted.

G4/733 digital audio, OS 9.1, Toast Titanium 5.0.2, Mac OS base extension set

I don't know if this would help, but with your machine, you might try moving up to OS 9.2.2. Perhaps there's been a fix. (It couldn't hurt.)

using 9.2.2 on a G4 867 Toast 5.0.2. Works flawless never a problem.

Cool, I'll try 9.2.2. Are you using Toast 5.0 or 5.0.2? Are you backing up Pro Tools sessions (not that it should matter what the data is)?

tdm guy, perhaps using mac base extension set is the problem.....may be some extensions that you need, that arent in that set???

Also using 9.2.2 on a G4 867 -Toast Titanium... works great.

tdmguy-
turn off all extentions that have to do with iTunes,
Authoring Support
iTunes Extention

i think that will fix your problem. i had the same probelm until i turned them off.
i have been backing up Protools to DVDR ever since. good luck

Hey hey hey... stop a little here... Are you absolutely sure about this??? I mean, APPLE CD/DVD DRIVER is a part of the Authoring support package!...

Will my Superdrive work perfectly WITHOUT that extension?...

when i was having the same problem, i called raxio and they told me that the itunes extentions mess wtih toast, and to turn them off. ever since then i haven't had any problems.
i belive that the Authoring Support extentions is used only if you want to burn a cd with itunes.

my dvdr works fine without it.
