Okay... I headed to the store soon for new DVD media. So, any preference on media? Verbatum, Maxell, HP, FujiFilm, Apple, maybe certain Generic blanks? The ones I were using are Philips DVD+R, you figure they would be fine with a name brand. What if I use DVD-R? Sorry for all the questions, kinda new at this. And...Thanks for the quick response!

A little help please, thanks Trying to burn a disc image to my DELL laptop DVD burner. When it starts to write, it gives: I/O Error!
