Make sure you are using good media (Ritek, TDK, Maxell) and that you write at the lowest speed possible. (This should not be a problem, but some people got their problems solved by burning at 1x).
Writing at 1x - Don't bother as a F/W update will sort that out! If you write at 4x, it only take 15 mins!
For media, use branded media for better compatability as some standalones do not read cheap media. A good place to buy media is http://www.ukdvdr.co.uk
