Unable to verify discs after they've been burned (Error Code 0x80020063)

I too am having problems burning disc's after and archive and install of Leopard. I am getting alot more duds than I ever did before - every 2nd disc I try to burn is showing with the same error code as listed by the original poster. I think in Tiger, I probably had 1 or 2 disc errors in 2 years.......i've had that many just tonight - not sure what could be happening here.

I am burning a DVD of .dng (Digital Negative files) at 1x speed that are on my Seagate external hard drive. Any suggestions?

Getting the same problem here. A few days ago, I thought my Superdrive on my MacBook Pro was shot (I was getting those laser calibration warnings). I couldn't burn CDs from the Finder, although I could burn a DVD. Changed the media, restarted, tried a million other fixes, etc. Was about to call Applecare, but then tried again a few days later and was able to burn a CD from the Finder successfully at 8x speed. When I tried 24x, I burned another CD just fine but got the error you describe.

This has to be some kind of software issue, right? Talk about aggravating!

I just had the same problem. The disc seems to burn fine but after that the described error comes up.

When I insert the disc which was burned on my iMac with Leopard into my Macbook it takes ages - it seems to analyze the disc and then it gets ejected. When I insert it into my iMac it says I inserted an empty disc but it only has 600 MB left.

The CD is a Platinum DVD+R 4,7 GB 8x Speed.

It's especially annoying since I first tried to copy the data to an external USB drive which caused a kernel panic. Now I can't copy the data to the hard disk AND I can't burn it on a DVD. Not good 😟

I'll try to burn it on the Macbook...

I just upgraded to 10.5, and I am having this problem, too.

Me too! It happens to me on both iMac Intel Core Duo and MacBook Pro - same message, Error Code.. I am able to burn DVD on Parallels, but not on Mac windows....

Need to solve this - I might have to call AppleCare though.

I have the same problem and have not been able to fix it. I performed and "archive and install" but that didn't help.


Using the Finder, I get the following error message:

Burning the disc failed because an unexpected error occured. (Error code 0x8002006E


Using Toast 8, I get the following error messages:

The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code - 0x0C
WRITE ERROR

The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = ILLEGAL REQUEST
Sense Code = 0x21, 0x02

The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code = 0x15, 0x02
POSITIONING ERROR DETECTED BY READ OF MEDIUM

My iMac, an Intel Core 2 Duo, is just over a year old. I never had any problems burning discs in Tiger. All my software, including the system, is up to date. I am running no other applications during the burn. I don't even touch the keyboard. I've tried both DVD+R and DVD-R.

I may not be typical but I'm running leopard on a Powerbook G4 and use Toast to burn disc--no problems...

I too have this problem. Superdrive is Sony DVD RW DW-Q28A rev KAS7 on a PowerMac G5 dual 2.3 GHz. I use TDK DVD+R DL media, which worked fine under Tiger.

I've been having this problem as well, except I'm running 10.4.11 on a powerbook G4. I've wasted half a dozen discs this afternoon.

Heh, consulting Help on my mac reveals that the Superdrive is not compatible with DVD+R Dual Layer...

Same deal with a clean install of Leopard on a 1st Gen Intel iMac. It only seems to happen when trying to burn with Finder though. I use a program called Disco (http://www.discoapp.com) and it works just fine, every time. It verifies and everything. When doing it with the Finder it seems to pretty consistently fail. I'm going to keep re-burning a disk and see if I can narrow down the cause.

Confirm. I have the same problem although didn't face it before. Hope at least in 10.5.2 it will be resolved.

if you check the SYSEM PROFILER what does it show... under disc burning my Macbook Pro shows:
DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW

although I've yet to get a DL disk to burn/verify under Leopard

Same problem here. AppleCare is having me take it to the Apple store. (not sure why)

Let us know the result: whether they have fixed it. Honestly I doubt since yesterday I had to burn 5 DVDs and only first two of them produced given problem but not other 3. Latter ones were fine. Finder btw was used as a burning tool. So, error seems to be randomly produced.
