Burning DVD error message - <unable to get file path> (-1401)

[loosh]

I got my Macbook Pro about 6 months ago. Only burnt my first DVD the other day of files off my computer. It worked perfectly, but now it won't burn anymore.

If I try and burn files to a DVD I continually get this error message:
The operation cannot be completed because one or more required items cannot be found. (Error code - 1401)

Could not retrieve information for "<unable to get file path>" (-1401)


As it doesn't actually specify what it can't find I have no idea what the problem is. Does anyone have any ideas?

any help would be appreciated

Not sure how much help this may be to you, as Leopard was throwing up a different error message for me...

I have a feeling it may have something to do with one of the files being corrupt. I had the same message coming up when trying to back up a set of mp3s to dvd, although the error message I got was even more cryptic:

"The operation cannot be completed because one or more required items cannot be found. (Error code -43)
Could not retrieve file metadata for "<unable to get file path>" (-43)"

(Pjar jarg as you can see)

Because I thought it may have been something to do with write permissions (It didn't), I tried to change the properties for the files in windows xp, which identified two corrupt files. Once I'd deleted these from the Burn Folder it sorted it.
