I used to have no problems with burning dvd's at all but very recently I get a 0xFFFFFFFF80020022 and something like a communication problem with superdrive. Machine iMac 2019. Catalina. Lot's of free space, 16 GB Ram so there shouldn't be a problem there. I saw several discussion here but none of suggestions seem to work for me. Can somebody please help me out here, thanks

Reset the SMC two or three times in a row: How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support. Be sure to disconnect all peripherals before resetting the SMC.

List what you have tried...
Hi Leroy. I've tried several things like connecting to a usb hub, burning at a slower speed, deleting "com.apple.DiskUtility.plist" in the ~ user / Library / Preferences folder. I have more than enough space on disk and RAM (16 Gb). I have also tried another external drive with the same result. Furthermore, all matters that were in the various discussions. What also struck me is that when I connected the super drive to a usb of my 2nd thunderbold display, the super drive was briefly indicated in system overview as 'super drive' (but that also gave the same error), and now it is back in my iMac as: Apple supplied writer, don't know if this is important. The super drive will simply play CDs and DVDs.
What system version are you running?
Are you trying to burn a video DVD disc or a data disc?
How much free space do you have on your boot drive?
What app are you using to burn the disc?
Catalina 10.15.7 iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019) 3Ghz 6-Intel core i5 16GB 2667Mhz DDR4. Trying to burn DVD data with no special app (just Catalina), 936,25 GB available of 1.03 TB
Try connecting the Apple Super Drive directly to your iMac via a USB port.
It is directly in a USB on my Mac. That used to work fine bur not anymore. Also tried in a Hub, same result
Doing this doesn't cause any problems to my Mac? (It's not a MacBook but an iMac).
Resetting my SMC seems to work, Thanks!
No. It's to fix problems with ports.
apparently because it works, thanks!
