To my knowledge all are genuine TY. The 6 coasters on my pc laptop left me a bit disturbed. I even encountered some read issues on my laptop as well with some older home dvds produced like a year ago (2) so I'm not sure but perhaps it is my read/write drive. In the meantime I switched over temporarily to my iMac and "simpyburn" to just create images and burn them and I have had 4 flawless images made and 4 burned within the last 18 hours so that is a good sign...

The most I can find on forums etc is that my media doesn't like my burner (which according to many may not be a surprise for the burner I have)... The Philips seems to have its fair share (actually a lot) of critics and unhappy customers, but could it be something else considering it had 15-16 successful (in a row) burns prior to these coasters?

I'm new here so thanks in advance for any replies. I'm basically using Imgburn to make images of DVD home videos so I can duplicate them. I'm using Taio Yuden media which was working great for 15 DVD's in a row. I was creating my images and then burning them to Taio Yuden discs for duplication. I managed to be successful burning one copy but then on the 2nd copy I began the downward spiral of 5 coasters in a row and they all have the exact same issue... And it goes like this: And error window pops up... --------------------------------------------- I/O Error!
