I have a new Sony 710a DVD burner and have been having mixed results using Sony's DVD+R DPR47LS2 blanks. About 1 out of every 2 fail CRC checks (i.e. some files are not readable). Most recently, I tried to back up about 2.0 gigs of data to a "data CD" using the Nero software that came with the drive (Nero Express 6, version 6.3.1.12 Sony edition). After about 11.5 hours of writing, it was only 53% completed with the burn and I needed to use my PC for other things so I had to stop it. Any idea what's going on? Here are the spec's of the blanks from DVDinfo:

Could having the DVD burner on its side cause any problems? I've been able to burn 6 for 6 video Verbatim-brand DVD-R's with none being bad, so is this just a case of the media being bad?? Why wouldn't Sony blanks work in a Sony drive? Also, I've installed the newest drive software from Sony.
Thanks!
