so you are basically saying that its the dvds i am using? i know verbatims are the way to go.. but memorex ones in the past worked fine also. i cleaned the dvd drive with one of those cds with the bristles on them.. still same thing...

[Rincewind]

If they work great, but as a side note I am surprised that your Memorex discs have the Ritek dye, since when I used Memorex +R DLs the dye was CMC-MAG. In any case, you are guaranteed better reliability in burning with Verbatim +R DLs as well as playback.

 

Since you already wasted one disc, you just have to try again. Just make sure you have the latest firmware version as recommended on that link I gave you. Chances are you might get a few successful burns but with non Verbatim DLs you WILL encounter a few bad discs out of the spindle. It has happened to me as well. I had 3 out of 25 TDK +R DLs wasted (they also had the Ritek dye).

 

For SL (single layered), perhaps you can go with cheaper media like Riteks (still try to avoid CMC-MAG), but for DLs really there is no substituting Verbatims for the foreseeable future.

i much appreciate the replys.. yea i just went through 4 dvds so far.. haha the only reason i went to memorex or to cheaper dvds was what you said about 3 bad out of 25 of verbatims.. same happen to me with verbatims so i just got fed up with them. but yea i guess imma just go and order a spindell pack online... but funny enough the first 4 burns i did with the memorex worked like a charm..
