I experienced a couple bad DVD studio pro problems this weekend. Maybe you all can help.
First off, one of my two superdrives failed to burn DVDs. Just a total failure. It would get to like 99.9% on the "formatting" progress bar, and then i would get an "unknown device error. (0x73, 0x03.)" From what I've read, this means either that the drive is dying or the lasers are dirty. Right?
More perplexing though, is my 2nd problem. I compressed 3 different timelines to m2v for burning 3 unique DVDs. they export fine, and i bring those files into dvd studio pro and begin burning. at this point, i get my aforementioned drive failure. I go in to "advanced burn" so that i can specify the other superdrive to burn the disc. i do so, and it burns successfully. now the weird part...
i prep the other two DVDs and go through this same process. each simulates and burns successfully. however, when played back through a DVD player, ALL THE DISCS ARE THE SAME. i want to reiterate... each disc had unique video tracks that simulated successfully prior to burning. i have never had to use the 'advanced burn' function before, so i am guessing that this is the cause of this seeming witchcraft.
to fix this one, i ended up "building" the DVDs to VIDEO_TS folders and burning in toast. but i really need to figure this one out as i do a lot of burning for clients. one other thing i noticed, both drives are labeled identically on the advanced burn selection pull-down. as opposed to drive A and drive B, both are labeled A. seems to me something is amiss.
