Hi fadaching
What media are you using? Like Sony +R 16x.

What speed are you burning at? Try 1/2 the rated speed of the disc.

How about the drive - firmware up to date? You can post make the make and model and we can check.

Try playing back one of these discs in the pc and see if you have the same problem there.

Drop the burn speed down to 8x or less.

To find the make and model of the drive double click on 'my computer' - right click on the dvd drive>properties>hardware. It will be listed there. Post that back and we'll check the firmware.

It's the middle on - GSA-H31N
Here's the latest firmware - B109.

It's pretty easy to do and Dell has instructions on the page.

Try burning at 1/2 the rated speed. The 16x Maxell if made in Taiwan can be made by CMC and that may be part of your problem with playback.
If it's still happening after the firmware update and slowing the burn speed down switch the media to Verbatim, or made in Japan only Fuji, Sony or Maxell.
