It seems that about every other time I attempt to burn a DVD with Toast, I get an error message approx. 5 minutes into the burning stating "The drive reported an error, Sense key = Medium Error
Sense Code =OxOc oxo8
Write error - Recovery Failed.

I am a regular reader of the forums and think I am doing everything correctly. I am using a 1000mz iMac with built in superdrive, Verbatim 2x DVD-R's, DVD backup, and DVD2oneX, with no other programs running in the background when I try to burn my final DVD with Toast. What am I missing?

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Since you are getting a "medium error" it would lead me to believe that it is just that, the medium (discs) that is causing the problem. Maybe you got a bad batch.

I have the exact same set up using the same software. I have had this problem sometimes and recently discovered that the pioneer drives in the macs can get errors when the mac has been runnning a long time. The heat in the drive can cause this error. A similar error happens with most cd writers after extended use. Letting the unit cool for one hour has always rectified it for me. I must also add that the exact same disc has been used afterwards (ie it didn't write anything to the disc and didn't create another coaster).

I must also point out that this has happened to me on numerous batches and types / quality media.
