Basically it wrote to it ok but then can't read it back.

 

So it's either dirt / a scratch or the drive it just producing bad burns on that media (or rather that dye type).

 

Go to the website for whoever made your PC and see if there is a firmware update available for the drive. If there is, update it. They often fix issues burning certain media.

 

After that, get some different discs. Verbatim ones using the MCC dye or Taiyo Yuden ones recommended.

aha thx, but this means that the records will work? And I cant find any firmware to my dvd on http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php the only firmware i have found is this one.

And this one seems a little old? Do you have a idea were i can fins some newer ones if there even are some for my dvd-recorder. (maybe a good time for me to buy a new one?).

If it burns and then fails verify, it means it 'might' work in some drives. The drive that just burnt it couldn't read it back so it's really not a good sign.

 

OEM drives are never supported very well. As you say, this might be a good time to buy a new drive that DOES have firmware updates.

Are some of these burner OK? According to you..

 

SAMSUNG SH-S182D/RSMN, 18X DVD-+R, dual layer.

 

LITEON SHW165P6S2

DVD+/-RW 16x8x16 8x DVD+R DL

 

Any worth buying?

try looking for Benq , Plextor, Pioneer these are good drives

[LIGHTNING UK!]

I don't much like the samsung drives to be honest.

 

Liteon are ok, as are the ones corny mentioned.

 

BenQ and LiteOn are good for scanning discs with using DVDInfoPro / CDSpeed (both free).

 

Plextor drives can do loads of scanning with Plextor's own 'PlexTools' program.

 

LG drives are ok but the bitsetting stuff is annoying because it doesn't remember your settings - unlike all the other drives. (Samsung are actually worse in this department).

Surprised you didn't mention Alex Noe's little utility for bitsetting LGs LUK.

Well, the guy didn't specifically ask anything about bitsetting!

Aaah - but you opened the door.
