    Could try out with a RW disc - just to not wasting any R discs before you know your burner is running ok.

    The main problem you have is that your burner don't like your brand of discs.

        To determine the capabilities/limitations of your DVD burner, as well as media compatibility, go to:



        (If necessary, open the Device Manager in the Control Panel to determine the make and model number)


        To determine the capabilities/limitations of your specific brand and model of standalone DVD player, as well as media compatibility, go to:

              I still don't know if you have a BTC burner. If so - a list of supported media: http://www.btc.com.tw/english/3-2-1MediaSupport.htm

                  It's the companys name - like Sony, Nec, Pepsi

                  Could try to use this program (freeware) to find out which burner/model you have: www.dvdinfopro.com

                          If you want to know wich brand that uses the media codes you can search in this page: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia.ph...order=Comments

                          The media code is a way to tell the burner how to burn the different medias regarding to their uniqe media code. If your firmware don't cover a certain brands media code - you will end up with burning coasters.

                          If you want to see the media codes on your current dvds - use this program (or dvdinfopro) http://dvd.identifier.cdfreaks.com/
