I have a new powerbook G4 and I'm backing up some old dvds with my internal superdrive. Roxio popcorn works fine for ones that need to be compressed....but for some reason has trouble with the ones that need NO compression.
I've used Toast's data mode to burn dvds that needed no compression but lately they haven't worked. I've been using some new dvds (Memorex), so this could be the culprit?
Roxio works fine the the Memorex, but Toast doesn't.
This is the exact message I get:
Sense Key: illegal return
Sense Code: 0X21, 0X02
Buffer Underrun
Also...for some reason the option to check buffer underrun protection is greyed out on my superdrive.
I've made about 4 coasters thus far....so before anymore...I figured I'd try my luck with you guys.
When I had this problem, what helped me was to first lower my burn speed, and turn on
bufferunder run prevention (click the llittle green thing by the BIg red button>recorder
settings>advanced>buffer under run prevention).
Underrun: you also may not have enuf disk space. I kept getting that even tho I ran at 1x and underrun checked. I had 17G disk space and the program wants maybe 20G free. I'm going to install Popcorn on an external HD and see if that helps.
The Popcorn box says 10-15 HD space but it must need more.
I have a wonderful setup now and sooooo fast. 120G to iBook ripping with MTR. plugging the firewire HD into my PC and burning with Roxio on the pC. Speedy! AND I can put several on the HD and burn at my leisure. I have so many to back up in my collection. About 30 minutes per disk! total time.
Well, I gave up on Popcorn and Toast for DVDS. Others on other boards are having problems with Popcorn...Ridiculous that 17-20g isn't enuf for a burn. I don't have that much on my PCs and burn DVD all the time. The mac is a hog on HD space, memory.
I use FastCopyDVD, also and for most things it works fine. Using 2.0 because I could not get the computer to upgrade the program for some reason.
