That's what I thought. Thanx. With the failure to write sectors, may I assume this means the discs are really blank? It seems I have to open and close the drawer, to receive a notice of blank media.

Thank you for your reply. Just seems odd That I successfully burned two discs a few days ago. Do you think that the structure of the DVD files from my home movie would make any difference or contribute to a problem(vs commercial DVD back-up)?

Getting a session fixation error writing lead in. Then an I/O error. Though not using Verbatum, I figured it is descent quality media? Any help would be appreciated. Thanx in advance. Media is Memorex 8x DVD+R. Disc ID = MBIPG 101-R10-65. I also tried I am trying to burn a dual layer of custom video/dvd files I authored/encoder via Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0. I have selecting various layer break positions. I have successfully burned a DL, (back-up) of a commercial movie/dvd a few days prior.
