CD/DVD burner does not work with iMac Plus and macOS 11.
I was hoping to burn with my iMac Plus and latest macOS 11.1 (Big Sur) a mp4-video (about 2 GB) to a 4,7GB DVD-disk, using the Mac's inherent burning software - left mouse click on file and then: Burn to CD/DVD! This did not work.
My external CD/DVD player/burner (MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-840S) however does not seem to be the problem - it works fine when playing music or film-DVD's. It als works fine with my Laptop under Windows 10.
I was then trying various software apps, which also did not work. Then I purchased the latest commercial software Toast 19 Titanium and that produced the following error message:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = ILLEGAL REQUEST
Sense Code = 0x24
INVALID FIELD IN CDB
Does anybody also experience this very problem and has some idea, what could be wrong?
I can hardly believe, that the iMac, which I bought four months ago (for the price of a secondhand car!) should not be able to manage such a simple task ...
iMac Pro, macOS 11.1
