Error Code 0x8002006E when backing up iPhoto events to DVD

This just began this backup cycle.

With very few issues I was able to successfully burn 16 DVDs (taking a break at 10) on my iMac 21.3 inch desktop. Since then I have repeatedly gotten Error Code 0x8002006E. I am now missing my Wintel machine.

I have read a few comments, but most are dated (pre-2013).

-I have already done the Option+Command+R+P.

-I have already run Disk Utility.

-I have already shut down my computer overnight in the event I was overheating my drive.

I have seen one comment about running with a lens cleaner, but was a bit worried about that option.

If you do want to respond with an answer, PLEASE DO NOT send a link to other comments. From what I can see most go on without resolution.

As for iMacs and Apple products in general, I do miss the days when Apple made quality products.

As for media, I am using Memorex DVD-R disks, I just burned files from a flash drive to a disk on an older Wintel machine and, gasp, it worked and was even much quicker! So, that should answer any questions regarding media quality.

Cannot hurt if you use a lens cleaner that utilises tiny brushes. On no account introduce any liquid.

Not necessarily. DVD burners can be picky about the media, and Memorex is not a brand generally recommended here. Most of us prefer Verbatim, Maxell, Fuji or Taiyo Yuden.

Also, use a low burn speed of 2x or 4x.
