I used Ritek Ridata 4x discs for a long time with excellent results but the speed bug got me and Ive found Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim to be the best bar none with write support up to 16x you wont go wrong with either ones
as for less expensive discs why bother with them the price between great and crap isn't that much pennies in most casesI dont know if I'm reading this right but here goes you have an ISO in a folder on your desktop and you want to burn it to disc open IMGburm select a file from Source and then from "Look In "
you would choose desktop from the drop down menu and the folder and have IMGburn burn to disc .If you needed to make another copy then IMGburn will NOT read it you would need another program to read the disc one program that would do it is NERO, another was recently taken off the net but I'm sure theres links out there for it .Nero will also do" on the fly " copies if you have a DVD rom for reading the disc and a DVD burner in your computer
theres no reason to have only a 32 gig hard drive check out the prices of hard drives they are dirt cheap 80 gig and 120g especially, they are always on sale

Are you in East or Western Canada? Have you burned a lot of DVD's? If you haven't done a lot, I would recommend burning DVD5's(SL discs) first, as they are considerably cheaper. As far as brands go, IMO Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim for DVD5's, and Verbatim or Ricohjpn(Fuji etc) made discs for DL's. If you have some Mem's left(& unopened), try returning them.
*edit* When using +r or +r dl media, setting the booktype to dvd-rom will help the compatability.
I live in Edmonton, so Western Canada.
This is my first attempt at burning a DVD. A day or two ago I did actually successfully burn a copy of the same file onto a Memorex DVD+R using a demo version of a different program, but the play-time was too long to fit (it cut off about the last 10 minutes or so). That program doesn't do Double-Layer DVD's, apparently, so I'm giving ImgBurn a go. The DVD+R played in my PS2 fine. The DVD+R DL's, not at all. I'll try picking up a different brand: thanks for the suggestions.
BTW, does it matter that when I play back the DL's in Windows Media Player it recognizes the media as DATA and not, say, VIDEO or something? (I'm a complete noob, I know).
windows player leaves a lot to be desired also as far as dvd playback goes .I use power dv5 myself and version 4 before that without any issues .There's Media Player Classic thats free and works well

www.free-codecs.com/download/Media_Player_Classic.htm
for DL's use Verbatim they're tried and true ,havent see any posts where anyone had issues with burning to them for other media not DL's Taiyo Yuden and also Verbatim are excellent
if you want to watch ISO's on your computer you dont have to burn them to disc download Daemon tools and you'll be able to view the stuff on the hard drive

My mate did that at Tiny PC's when one he bought went to shite !! He tried for ages to get them to refund his money on a 3 month old PC rather than botch repair all the time.
In the end he was so pissed off he printed up leaflets and stood at the entrance to the store handing them out to their customers, the leaflet detailed all the botched repairs and failure to refund his money, inc quotes from their customer service department...... 20 minutes later after the local news interviewing him he had his full refund and an apology !

amazing how the roaches run when you shine a little light on them especially if you have their names in print or in a news interview

the article was on Google news a few days ago in the science technology section ,I just started looking at it there's some good stuff there .I wonder what a disc will go for $50 ? and how much f'n and blinding you'll do when you burn a coaster

I think the REAL point here is that Shamus is blatantly trying to focus our attention away from the practice of Mouse Necrophilia that he encourages in his own home
no mention of celery in awhile either ,is he in celery rehab or moved on to another veg and dont know how to break the news
ITS OK SHAMUS we're here for you -
Hi guys,
. They have done the same thing with CMCMAGE0.1, which should write @ 8x, but only writes @ 6x, in the DVR-110. They have their reasons, that said.If you want some good 16x MID's for the drive, I recommend TYG03, MCC004, TTH02...etc.
anyone thats been around here or the other proggy (sniff,sniff I'm still in mourning) will know that the reason CMCmag is limited is because it sucks if thats not reason enough I dont know what is
as for the verbs and the yudens they're A1 all I use now and no problems at all
-
and oh so true
-
Imgburn is still only supporting these discs at 12x.
Dave.
Das its not IMGburn thats not supporting the 16x speed but the drive itself with those discs . IMGburn will burn at whatever speed but its the drive and the media compatibility that will determine the burn speed

That's just bizzare. Who the hell would want to play a Ring Pirate? Driving a dubious virtual digit into an expectant virtual bunghole doesn't sound like my idea of entertainment.
it could be the marksmans test for prospective proctologists

I dont use PCGedit so all I can suggest is create the ISO with Shrink and burn it with IMGburn .Bring up IMGburn then browse for the ISO and burn

What's this, an honest politician ?
It's just so hard to believe that a pollie will keep all his election promises. We can only live in hope.
Its a talent to be able talk out of both sides of your mouth at the same time and avoid answering the question, oh yeah now I remember they're called LIARS
There isn't that much hope in the universe , once elected all bets are off

again on Google news 120,000 Canadians bought the Sony cd's and this was part of the article
McKay said the company will list for Canadians all the affected titles by Monday on its website, cp.sonybmg.com/xcp -
well I guess that leaves everyone out here

great minds and world leaders will get together to solve this problem ,should I say anymore

I saw this on GOOGLE news the science/technology section
Experts: Sony plan widens security hole
NOV. 15 1:34 P.M. ET The fallout from a hidden copy-protection program that Sony BMG Music Entertainment put on some CDs is only getting worse. Sony's suggested method for removing the program actually widens the security hole the original software created, researchers say.
Sony apparently has moved to recall the discs in question, but music fans who have listened to them on their computers or tried to remove the dangerous software they deposited could still be vulnerable.
"This is a surprisingly bad design from a security standpoint," said Ed Felten, a Princeton University computer science professor who explored the removal program with a graduate student, J. Alex Halderman. "It endangers users in several ways."Record label Sony BMG Music Entertainment said Tuesday that it will recall millions of CDs that, if played in a consumer's PC disc drive, will expose the computer to serious security risks.
Anyone who has purchased one of the CDs, which include southern rockers Van Zant, Neil Diamond's latest album, and more than 18 others, can exchange the purchase, Sony said. The company added that it would release details of its CD exchange program "shortly."
Sony reported that over the past eight months it shipped more than 4.7 million CDs with the so-called XCP copy protection. More than 2.1 million of those discs have been sold.
"We share the concerns of consumers regarding discs with XCP content-protected software, and, for this reason, we are instituting a consumer exchange program and removing all unsold CDs with this software from retail outlets," the company said in a statement. "We deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause our customers."
The company made the announcement--its second public apology since the CDs' risks came to light last week--just as security researchers found several other potentially dangerous flaws in the software.
Princeton University computer science professor Ed Felten wrote on his blog Tuesday that he and a fellow researcher had confirmed that Sony's initial Web-based uninstall tool--designed to uninstall the copy-protection software deposited by Sony's CDs--actually exposed a critical vulnerability on computers.
The tool downloaded a program that causes a user's hard drive to accept instructions from Web sites. But the program remained active on the user's hard drive after it had been instructed to uninstall the Sony software. The program could then be triggered by almost any code from any Web site, including malicious instructions, the Princeton researchers said.
"Any Web page can seize control of your computer; then it can do anything it likes," Felton and fellow researcher J. Alex Halderman wrote on their blog. "That's about as serious as a security flaw can get."
Sony later replaced that Web-based uninstall tool with one that downloads a program with its own instructions, as opposed to one that accepts instructions from Web sites. The researchers said the new program appeared to be safe.
For anyone who did use the earlier tool, the researchers' blog has instructions for removing the Sony component.
Separately on Tuesday, security company Internet Security Systems released its own new advisory on Sony's software. It warned that flaws in the copy-protection software--not just in the early uninstall tool--could allow an attacker to take control of a user's machine.
Previously, security researchers had spotlighted the online release of several Trojan horse viruses that piggybacked on the Sony software to hide their presence on hard drives.
The Trojan horse software, once installed, automatically connects to an Internet chat network and allows an attacker to take remote control of an infected computer.
Half a million people at risk?
Although more than 2 million of the Sony discs have been sold, it's still unclear how many of those were actually played in a Windows-based computer, thus triggering the security risks. Sony notes that the copy-protection software is not activated on an ordinary CD or DVD player, or on a Macintosh computer.
Security researcher Dan Kaminsky said he estimated that at least 500,000 computers had installed the Sony software.
Once installed, the Sony software can relay data, which indicates what CDs are being played, to an outside server. To relay the information, the software has to find its destination by contacting the Internet's domain name system address servers, where a publicly available record of that request is left behind.
Kaminsky said he counted more than 568,000 separate requests. The method counts any request coming from the same network, but only once. So it might not include repeated requests coming from offices or schools, where numerous computers use the same network, he said.
"The thing that's proved here is not the upper bound," Kaminsky said. "This is a lower bound. This is a pandemic."
Sony's copy-protection software was created by British company First 4 Internet. The software is installed on a computer's hard drive when certain Sony compact discs are put in the CD player and the listener accepts a license agreement.
The software then hides itself using a controversial programming tool called a "rootkit," which takes over high-level access to some computing functions. The rootkit blocks all but the most technically savvy users from being able to detect its presence.
Sony has worked with antivirus companies to help their products pierce this veil of invisibility, and has posted a patch on its Web site that will uncloak the hidden software. It also said it would temporarily stop manufacturing discs using the First 4 Internet tools.
Lawsuits have been filed against the record label in California and New York, and others are expected.

hello hobbes ,for free CD burning software you might try using Google "free cd burning software " there's tons of stuff just go through it all untill you find something that works . BTW top of the line DVD burner that will handle dvd and cd is about $40 surely a price that wont break the bank .Windows burns CD's I believe and Nero has a free trial version
About the comment of Lightning being nicer
free software , great burning program and the one before that 
amazing and also free advice , updates, whats nicer I dont know maybe come to your house and fix everything but he doesn't do house calls 
you know you could look for your CD software and see if that helps and dont take offence to any comment about your CDRW while they work they are obsolete no matter how good they are .I have a Sony CDRW taking up a slot in my PC a 10x-4x-32x was/is a great drive $204 at the time still works fine but its old technology my DVDRW NEC3500 does it all and better, again about $40 for the newer more improved 3000 series burner
