Dvd Burning Error Code 0x80020022

[errorman]

I have an iMac G5. I bought a stack of 50 DVD recordables. My DVDs burn fine about half the time, but for the other half I get the dreaded error code 0x80020022. I close all other applications when burning, but this doesn't seem to help or predict any success. What can I do? Thanks!

I have hte exact same error (0x80020022) when attempting to burn projects using iDVD 5.0.1 (OS X 10.4.3 iBook G4 14" 1.33GHz). Tried burning disc image, archiving project, etc...no luck...also get multiplexing errors. Apple couldn't resolve the problem...they said to turn off FileVault and verify disk permissions, etc. Did that, but didn't work. Also deleted plist file with iDVD prefs...help!

I am experiencing also with iDVD 3 and Tiger. My searching of the net indicates a conflict with Tiger and all versions of iDVD although version 5 might work better (not what you are seeing). There are several things to try including deleting the preferences file, clearing caches, repairing permissions, increasing the size of your hard drive (> 20 GB free). I have not tried all these yet. Of these could you be short on HD space?

I spent an entire day making 10 copies between all the quits.

Today i experience the SAME PROBLEM, only a year a half later! Did anyone ever resolve this?? Every time I attempt to burn a DVD, either with my internal drive, or external drive, the disk spins, looks like it's going to burn, and then about a minute later the error code comes up stating that there's a bad communication with the drive.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

The error code you get from Apple's burn software is 0x80020022. Roxio's Toast is reportedly a better burn system and frequently comes bundled (lite version) with CD/DVD burners. The error code is: -50 in Roxio's language but the problem is still there. Here is what LaCie recommends. Good Luck!:

There are a number of updates that should be performed. Run whichever ones you have not already done, in the order given:

Reapply OS 10.3.x or 10.4.x combined: http://www.apple.com

Drive Firmware: http://www.lacie.com/support/drivers...r.htm?id=10063

Toast 6.1.x or Toast Ti 7.0.x: http://www.roxio.com/
6.1 Lite, 6.1.1 Titanium, 7.0.1 Titanium

These should give you better media support and eliminate any errors.

Seems that this is a very common problem. I have a MacBook Pro and Leopard with this and 80020063. I just got a mini mac with Leopard and the same problem. I have done disk permissions and clean installed the system many times. Apple gave up since both were under warranty and they will not fix the problem. Sometimes, they burn but more often they fail. Any suggestions. Next step is to bring a law suit against Apple. The Mac Mini only has 10.5 and iLife 08 on it. Nothing else. I have all the latest updates. This occurs with the finder burn as well as with Toast on the MacBook Pro.
