error code 0x80020063

When burning cd/dvd, I often get "error code 0x80020063". What does this mean and how can it be corrected?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

That is a generic verify error basically saying that the write did not compare to the original properly.


While I love Apple products I have to say I have always had problems burning CD/DVDs on all my Macs (6 of them) over the years until I bought a good external burner.


I tried various media brands with mixed results, even replaced the super drive in one Mac, still no joy. Then I bought an external LaCie drive and now I don't make any more coasters.


I was burning CD's at 2X speed with few errors but a DVD you could forget it. And burning a CD any faster would almost never work.


With my LaCie I burn at max rate and often it ends up around 15X speed and have not had one single failed burn since then. I have probably only burned 60 disks but still I had never burned that many in a row in my life without many failures.


Personally I just think the drives Apple uses are junk.
