The use of cheap-o media is to blame for about 90% of all problems. Here's the golden rule of DVD burning: Use discs that say Made in Japan on the label. The sole exception is Verbatim, which is also great stuff. You can usually get Taiyo-Yudens or Verbatims online about the same price if not cheaper than the store-bought stuff, and that's with shipping.

Another 9% is due to using an outdated firmware in your drive. You can get that from the manufacturer's site, or, even from rpc1.org.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

What model drive and what firmware do you have? You can use Nero Infotool or CD/DVD Speed to get that.
