Verify problems with Toast

[muffinny]

Hi,
Whenever I burn a DVD with toast 5.2.1 I get a verification problem.Something like "Sector XXX unreadable. Verification failed" I read the thead that Blappy posted on August 2003. He was having the same problem. I couldnt find any answer about that. Could
anybody help me?

I am using Apple 2X, and didn't have any problem until few weeks a go. I have OSX 10.2.8.

Is my DVD broken. should I call apple care?

This situation freaks me out, because I am making back ups of my data, and now I don't trust these back ups! And my hardrives are so full that they can explode soon.. javascript:smilie('')

any suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Muffinny

you might want to check with Roxio, you might need an update for the software to work with 10.2.8. You might want to check some of the other threads as a lot of people have had mucho problems with this softare update (10.2.8)

Verification Issue with toast

I am having the same issue with DVD verification after writing to Apple 2X DVD-R. Each one failed when verifying the disc. When I use other generic media to burn with, or use Finder to burn a DVD it seems to work fine.

Has anyone figured out why this is happening. Is this a hardware failure?

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
rio

Toast, and other programs

I am thinking of getting a CD burning program but there is one thing I really want to have: the ability to write to the CDs from other programs, at least I think that's what I want!

For example, if I burn a folder onto the CD and then want to synchronise the folder with one on my hard drive, it should be able to write in both directions. In other words, are there any programs that format CDs so that they are not read only?

Roxio's Cd creator does this on the PC, does Toast do this?

thanks

Making a Multisession Disc


A session is a recorded area on a disc that contains one or more music or data tracks. A disc can have either a single session or multiple sessions, and a disc with multiple sessions is called a multisession disc.


•
Note:
A multisession audio CD is not recommended. Only the tracks recorded in the first session are playable on most home or car stereo CD players. To combine both music and data on a CD, see Recording an Enhanced Audio CD or Recording a Mixed Mode CD.


To make the first session:


1
To record the first session, add files to the content area as you normally would.


2
When you are ready to record, choose Recorder > Recorder Settings (or click the green Recorder Options button, and choose Recorder Settings).



The Recorder Settings dialog appears.


3
In the Recorder Settings dialog, click the Advanced tab, then make sure the Close Disc check box is not checked.


4
Click OK.


5
Click the red Record button.


6
When prompted, insert a disc into the currently selected recorder. For information about the best types of media to use, see Choosing the Kind of Media to Use.



Toast displays a progress bar as it burns your data to disc. A message appears indicating that recording is complete.


To make the disc a multisession disc:


1
To record another session to a disc that already has a first session, add files to the content area as you normally would.


2
When you are ready to record, click the red Record button.


3
When prompted, insert a disc with one or more sessions on it.



Toast displays a progress bar as it burns your data to disc. A message appears indicating that recording is complete.

I'm not quite sure this is the same as what I want to do: I don't want just to be able to add more files or folders to what's already on the disk, but to be able to delete and overwrite files in the same way you can do with a floppy or zip disk. Is this possible with Toast or another program?
