Hi,

I am trying to create a dvd for an event on aug. 26, 07, and I keep getting the error: failed to launch the image writing process. I am using MyDVD, and i get to about 97%, and i always get the error. I have tried updating all my drivers, directx, and start-up items. I simply cannot figure this out. What should I do?



Also, I tried to burn it as an image file onto my computer and then I took the file and tried to burn it to the dvd+R disc, and i received this message :

Sense: 03 ASC: 73 ASCQ: 03 (Command 2A)
-------------------------------------------------------
Px.dll: 3.4.45.500
PxAFS.DLL: 3.4.45.500
pxdrv.dll: 1.2.1.0
PxMas.dll: 3.4.45.500
PxSFS.DLL: 3.4.45.500
PxWave.dll: 3.4.45.500
pxwma.dll: 1.0.0.3

I haven't got a clue what this means or how to fix it too.
I am not too sure, but I am beginning to get the feeling that my problem is all the same one for burning dvds, for whatever sub-program I am using with EMC 9.

Try this PXEngine patch:

**** PX Engine 3.0
http://images.roxio.com/en/support/pxengine3_00_58a.zip
It's also found in KB article here:

Ok,

I downloaded that PX engine file. I was able to burn the image file completely, but I can't watch it in the dvd player. And when I put the disc back into my computer, it says the disc is blank.

Note: I know I was suppose to use disc copier to burn the image file, but it wouldn't let me load it, it only let me use image burner. I am trying to make a dvd movie with the app MyDVD, but as I mentioned before, I keep getting the error that the image writing process has failed to launch, so that is why I tried the image file way, and it worked now, but I can't view it on a dvd player.

Also: If I try to burn some kind of video, using disc copier (video compilation), then it will always get to about 10% and I will get this error:

: ("Power calibration area error - Medium error." [3/73/03]
- Sense Key = 0x03
- ASC = 0x73
- ASCQ = 0x03
- ULONG: Error Number = 13730301
- STRING: Error String = Power calibration area error - Medium error

Unspecified Error [0x13730301]

"Power calibration area error - Medium error" is generally an error message from the drive - it can't set the laser properly and is just refusing to burn. It can be incompatibility with the media (try another brand), it may need a firmware update (you have to check on the drive maker's website for that) and also it can be caused by having two optical drives on the same ribbon cable

Ok,

I have tried another brand and it does the same thing, I went to the website for the firmware, and I can't get any updates from the website because when I try to install their latest driver, it says it can't find my driver. I personally think it is something else wrong, I do think I should by an external dvd writer, seeing that I am trying to burn these with a laptop burner, and it has worked fine up to this point. It is however, somewhere around 3-4 years old maybe...? Anyway, just letting you know I have tried those steps you mentioned above.

NOTE: When Larry gave told me to try the PXengine, and I did, It worked, it was able to complete the burn and everything, but my dvd player could not read it, and when I put it back into my computer, it said it was empty.
