Flash your burner with firmware BS0Y patched from this page. Remove any disc from the drive and close the tray before flashing. Reboot after it has finished.
If that doesn't solve your problem then you'll need to get better media, such as Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden blanks. Also you might have better luck with DVD+R discs
From the research I've done, many DVD players do not "play" well with DVD+R discs. DVD-R is actually a better choice for burning movies that you intend to use in a stand-alone/shelf DVD player unit. I did some homework and thought I was making the right decision getting +R discs, only to find out later that a lot of units (for multiple reasons) do not read the +R disc/media well. I'm one of the guys who has been continuously making attempts to burn good movies/videos on +R media and despite numerous changes in settings can't get a respectable output. Good sales pitch for Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden in the above reply though; I regularly see the same media companies mentioned repeatedly in posts here. Are there kick-backs being rewarded for referrals each time the company name is posted in a response, or is there verifiable evidence that Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden discs really are better than the competition? I really am interested and/or curious, I honestly do not know so any light that can be shed on the subject is appreciated. Take care and thanks in advance.
