SCEvan, use memosux at your own risk, their quality control sucks, big time.
Whatever you do, do NOT purchase memosux discs

Stills sounds like it's the cheap players for you. You can try switching to +r and booktying. Not Memorex though I totally agree w/ Pulsar plus been there done that!
Try cleaning the lens on these players 1st and see if that helps.

Commercial DVD's are pressed - DVD-/+R's are burned. Two different methods. Players can be picky when reading the burned discs.
I can't give you a technical explanation on the 2 differences but I can probably dig up a article somewhere if you like.

I just wanna chip in that I LOVE the term LEGO.
That should be added to the AD glossary!!!!!!!!
It could go like this....
LEGO- a slang term used when refering to a backed up movie that is highly pixelated when viewing. Considered a bad burn by most people.
I've got a back up of Lord of the Rings that has a ton of LEGOs in it. : )
Budweiser, Corona, Miller, Heineken.
I dont care, just gimme one!

Well rbrock - the Sony I would have thought would have been a good one. Made by LiteOn - very good imho.
So my choices for you would be BenQ, LiteOn, or Plextor (order in list of prices)

LOL - hopefully no Legos for you then :)
Before you buy a new burner you may just want to try a another brand of discs like made in Japan only Sony or Fuji. So far your problem is only w/ Verbs & your 'cheap' player burned with the Sony. All your other players are good with the same combo.

Check out the new Samsung burners..Awesome for the price, bought one for a customer last year and just flawless. Especially on the lower end disks that he likes using. Even burns xbox backups on cmc-mag that work!! figure that one out...
Sorry I can't remember the number but it was really cheap £30 retail. There was a link (over on cd freaks middle of last year)to a review of the particular model by somebody who wanted to really run it down.. In the end he bought one instead.. Says it all..outreads my NEC3550, but doesn't seem to burn quite as fast.
I'll ask him what the model number is next time I see him and let everybody in on a well kept secret..
Disk wise I swear by single layer Ridata 8x DVD-R the ones with the purple sleve on the box. Can't tell you any more about them unless somebody can point me at a linux equivalent of decryptor or Nero cd speed..K3B doesn't give disk info..

Try some other discs - they may do better than the verbs on the Sony.
The made in Japan Sony & Fuji are usually made by Taiyo Yuden - another great manufacturer besides Verbatim.
Depending on where you are there are usually weekly sales on of the ones I mentioned. The made in Taiwan Verb are great too - they're made by MCC.

rbrock, no need to spend 89 to 100 bucks on a nice dvd burner, you should go to http://www.newegg.com , they have great deals on dvd burners, most are around 35-45.00 and most are free shipping or very good shipping rates, many people at afterdawn could verify how awesome of a website newegg is. If you get a dvd burner, I would recommend the BenQ dw 1650, It has solidburn, which learns how to burn blank dvds better each burn and it can booktype +rs.

I had a thought..back on topic. I get my disks from a place that only gets small batches from the supplier. They have a manufacturing date always within 3 months or so. I bought some of the exact same disks from a place that is a big stockist and they were awful.. Must have been hanging about for ages.. The batch date was 18 months previous. Therefore I think the best disks are relatively new stock..Bargain bin sales might not be the best place for quality brands..after all, if they're quality brand..Why are they reduced?

Hey janrocks
I order most of my Taiyo Yuden's online. But I buy +R instore (+r is cheaper instore) Stores here (I think your in the UK) run sales on quality media ever week. They are just really cheap here (don't know about the UK).
Here it's getting harder and harder to even find 8x media in some places except online. Most of the stuff is the 'newer' 16x. So 50 Verbs 16x run about $14.99 on sale. Geez in the UK that would be even cheaper! (so much for the american dollar)

Yeah I think you just need to find the right ones for that Sony. I have a LiteOn (the oem of your drive) and verbs don't give it a problem but each set up is different.
Check out http://supermediastorestore.com and pick up some Taiyo's.
The ones I mainly use and you guessed it no legos :)

Hi people
I'm having problems with my Sony DW-Q30A drive too, when I use it with DVD Decrypter and instant copy it seems to copy but doesn't work on any other machine (computer or dvd players), it only works on my computer it's self. The same the other day when I copied some of my music onto a dvd for my girlfriend, I used the cyberlink file copy I got with my computer last Nov and again I can't read it on her computer only my own. I've no idea on what to do.
I did once try creating a dvd from mpegs on dvd Architect and got the following error message:
The command failed due to a IOCTL error. Your interface or drive may be configured incorrectly
Details:
?SFMMCX?-(17)
?ATAPI?-(3)
-?SONY DVD RW DW-Q30A YYS2?-(1)
Module sfmmcx.cpp Line 1795
Status: ff000000
Command: 2a 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 20 00

Extra: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
You've all been so helpful to rbrock, I was wondering if it was possible to help me too.
