Q: Disc can't be verified but it's OK

Every time I burn a DVD I get an error message.( I exaggerate, 9 out of 10 times.)

"This disc can't be verified and might be unreadable.

Try again using a new blank disc(error code 0x80020063)"

I open the disc it's fine.

However it's really slow to do this each time as

I'm burning many large images which open really slowly.

It's driving me up a wall !

Any ideas.

I have tried different media brands & types .... same story

These images are going to clients so I do need to know they're good to go

thaks

Sorry to have to tell you but Memorex is regarded as particularly poor media. Stick to Verbatim, Maxell or Fuji.

What exactrly are you trying to burn to a DVD?

Yes,
I insert the disc,
it hows up on the desktop
I open it
drag the files in
clik burn
it asks to be named which I do
it starts the burning process
it then starts the verify process but stops and gives the error code

Try cleaning the Superdrive, and resetting the SMC:

I appreciate the input,
but I'm not burning thru iDVD
and I have a different error code ie 0x80020063

I did look
suggestions are :
more memory ...I don't need
slower burn speed..I went to the slowest (x2)
labels etc ... not an issue
