Hello everyone. I?m having a few problems burning on my imac G5. It?s the new 20? one with frontrow and isight (if that matters).
If anyone has any suggestions I?d really appreciate it.
Ok. I?m trying to backup PS2 games using toast 7. I?m using Ritek g04 DVD-Rs (4x), and am fairly sure they?re authentic. Fom reading other posts around here I think I?m pressing the right button in toast (the big red one :D ). I?m trying to burn at 4x.
The problem is that shortly after the dvd starts to burn, I get the following error message:
The drive reported an error:
Sense key=MEDIUM ERROR
Sense code=0x73, 0x03
Now I think that this means my mac isn?t too fond of the Riteks, but I?d love to know if anyone else has had similar problems, and if they managed to fix it. I?m having the same message flash up when I try to burn DVDs too.
Do G5?s dislike Riteks? Is it toast 7? Am I doing something wrong?
Any suggestions would be really appreciated. If there?s another kind of media that you think might be a safer bet (might try verbatims next), then please let me know.
I apologise in advance if this has been answered elsewhere in these forums - if it has I couldn't spot where.
Thanks!

Thanks man,
I had a crack with Verbatims and everything seems to work as it should now.
Looks like the dog now has 75 Ritek frisbees to play with :D

@mostoso...
hapdog meant that as a joke.. that he took a chance with verbatim and it worked..
in my sig.. you can find the link for dvd media inspector..
run your verbatim thru that and find out what the MID is on that.
you may have other issues....

thanks thelox714
I was always using the verbatim without any problem, and now I have problems making backups of my ps2 games.
It is possible that they put on the new verbatim an antycopy think??? so I can not copy them now???
I am trying with the DVD Decrypter with the virtual pc .....

the DVD media inspector say that he cannot suport my DVD drive : MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-815
I am using the dvd decryter to decrypt the iso and trying to burn again with toast 7 on the verbatim.... I don't know if this will help.
I was copying a lot of ps2 games with my drive and the verbatim's but now I can't and also I can't copy my own copies.
maybe I need to clean the head ?????
thanks

Hapdog - if you're not doing it already it's probably best to make a Disk image of your PS2 disk and burn from that (rather than just using the 'copy' function of Toast). I've had reasonable success in the past although my PS2 is a bit old and seems to be fussy with the brand of disk that I burn to.

First of all:
Thanks to everyone for your help and advice.
Second...
Well, it was all working so well up until about a week ago. I was happily doing backups of PS2 games, using verbatims (4x speed) and then I started getting the following message in toast:
"Couldn't complete the last command because there was an I/O error (your disc may be copy protected). Result Code = 36."
This appears even if I try to backup one of my backup dvds, so I know there's something rotten going on here. In adddition, toast now refuses to encode .AVI files, meaning that I can't make normal dvds either (although I can't recall what excuse it comes up with when encoding avi's). It gets about 3/4 of the way through and then refuses to continue.
Anyone else had similar probs?
(imac G5 2.1, toast 7, verbatim 8/16x)

Nope - the message pops up even if I try and backup and older ps2 backup.

G5 imac, new in May of 2005, last one before builtin isight. 10.4.3, using toast 7, idvd from ilife 05, etc. Get ongoing burn error messages
Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03
SuperDrive will burn 1 or 2 discs with no problem, gets the error when hot. Will usually burn on the same media piece it errored on, as soon as drive cools down. Replaced the superdrive and thought the problem was fixed, but still happening. Don't think it is the media because it will burn correctly after it cools. Took me a while to figure out the coasters weren't coasters once the drive cooled down. Any suggestions?
Same scenario with cd-r and DVD-R. Also happens with toast 6, toast 7, idvd, etc.

HI ,
I tried using Verbatin DVD-R , Maxell 8x DVD-R and Fugifilm DVD+R. Nothing seems to work. I have burnt CD's without any problems- I don't know what I'm doing wrong!

I am using a Mac G3 330 with OS X 10.3.9
I have ripped a few DVDs and have just tried copying them onto DVD+R DL for the first time, and I am having extreme headaches with it. Seems no matter what I do, I get the error:
Sense Key: Medium Error
Sense Code: 0x73, 0x02
I have updated the software (Toast 6.1.1) and firmware with no luck. The DVDs were ripped with MTR, I am trying to burn them onto FujiFilm DVD+R DL
I am trying to put a copy of a Simpsons DVD & Spongebob DVD as backups for the originals.
Please help!!

I don't think they carry the 8.5GB discs in Canada. I only have seen Memorex & Fuji at Future Shop & Best Buy
