I have burned other discs fine in the past. This time I am trying to burn a copy of a movie - Bad Santa - to some new Memorex printable DVD-Rs. I did the Decrypt/Shrink thing then tried to burn with Nero but no dice. I kicked the disc out and gave me an error. I tried with another disc and got the same thing. I then decided to try to burn a copy with DVDecryptor and it gave me an error with a line in the error stating I think incompatible media. Is it possible that I have a bad pressing of media or has anyone had similar issues with the printable media. I have burned other movies with Sony media. I could possibly try to burn something with other media to see if it works.

Memorex is some of the poorest quality media you can buy. Try better media and burn at 4x.

Yep - it sucks. I had some of their printable media and threw it out - worthless.
If your in the US here's a link to a great deal on some printable Taiyo Yudens (I use these - great quality):

Thanks - It is the Memorex media. I tried this morning with a Sony DVD-R and everything is working fine. Hopefully CompUsa will take these back. Thanks

If not, don't throw them away, just set your target size to 4300 and burn slowly. They should be good for kids backups anyway! Good way to get rid of them.
