Dvd +dl Error Code -5001

[Tan2Day]

I have been getting a message when trying to burn double layer DVD+R DL disks, any manufacturer, have tried Verbatim now and Ridata.

 

At the very end the message comes up...Mac OS ERROR Result Code -5001 and it hangs at that point.

 

Using Toast 9.0.2 and OS 10.5.4 on a one year old iMac 24.

 

Any suggestions, and what does that error code mean?

I have also been getting an error message when trying to burn HP DVD-R Double Layer disks. It happens right at the beginning of the burning process.

 

'the drive reported an error. sense key=medium error. sense code=0x73, 0x03'

 

I am using a Macbook Pro 10.5.4, 2.5ghz, 4gb sdram.

I would try using Verbatim DL media if possible. The error you are experiencing is media incompatibility which is not the same as "Tan2Day"
