Newbie needs help with DVD-RW. I have a P4 system and installed Pioneer DVD-A04. I bought 1st set (25) of Meritline lowest price DVD-RW. At 1st, all burns were great using DVD X Copy. Later, maybe a mistake, I ran the firmware upgrade for the Pioneer. Later, I started getting random bad burns. The DVD-RW is not accessible. The drive light stays on after a bad burn. I thought DVD-RW could be reformatted but Nero can't access the DVD in the drive. Help

Just confirmed that my Pioneer rev level was upgraded to 1.32
Could that be my problem with the Meritline DVD-RW?

Just completed firmware change back to 1.20
The MeritLine DVD-RW's (white top, silver bottom) show as
Pre-recorded Information:
