Wiikey & DVD-R Not Working help

Hi,
I have recently had my wii upgraded to wiikey (with latest firmware) and have had about 20 games ready to play with it (all dvd-r's).

When i put the games in the wii, they either dont read the disk at all, or they load up to the menu screen off the wii menu and then the game itself wont start.
they are good quality verbatim 16x dvd-r's btw

I can then put the games onto a dvd+r (also good quality) and they work perfectly, although sometimes the disks dont read
(any help on that too?)

I have no idea at all why the dvd-r's dont work when it clearly states on the wiikey website and many others that both dvd+/-r both work! (and especially since the dvd-r's are meant to be better!)

So any help will be useful. thanks in advance.

P.s: I apoligise if there is already a thread with these results but I have looked for quite a while. If there is one can somebody send me the address

Many solutions:
1.For my modchip to work you have to put the game in, let it say cannot read, then reset, then it will work
2. Even though i burn at 16x people here say to burn at a lower speed i disagree.

hi

I have the wiikey and use verbatim dvd-r as well, try burning it at 4x or 6x to test it out. All of the verbatim disk work on my wii so give it a try.

try booting the wiikey settings and changing the dvd drive speed from 3x to 6x or 6x to 3x that should do it. worked for me
