Interesting replies, down below. My experience is different (but admittedly brief). I originally installed ImgBurn and selected the Patin-Couffin driver and things worked well. But then, thinking to reduce clutter, deleted the DVD burning application (CopyToDVD) that originally installed the Patin-Couffin driver; which removed it. Okay. I'm thinking; "Fine. SPTI is the default anyway"; and I just selected SPTI and go to burn another DVD... which Failed! So, lickety-split, I re-install CopyToDVD, reselect Patin-Couffin, and with the VERY SAME DVD THAT FAILED re-try the burn, and --voila-- no problems at all. Burned, verified, and plays just swell.
This may not be THE definitive test, but it convinced me. I'll be sticking with the Patin-Couffin driver.
