I bought a 100 of the R03's from newegg, had 2 coasters(instant?), but
the rest of about 50 have been OK.
Play fine on many players, good grade B media.

hi chamkila...what problem are you experiencing?

bad playback around chapter 4/5 of burned disks?

[marty5]

well, after trying everything you folks have suggested, i finally got Gateway to agree to send another dvd burner out for my laptop...hope that was the problem...

does anyone think it's weird that a brand new burner could be bad out of the box?


thanks for all your help...i'll let you know

hi guys...

i received and installed new dvd burner...first disk i tried to burn was brokeback mountain at 4x speed...and it worked!!! plays fine and everything...no stalling, i can fast forward through to any chapter

i got excited and burned second movie...my left foot...at 8x and got the same problem as before...stalled playback at chapter 4...and then the player resets...

i got disheartened...tried to burn again at 4x and again same problem...stalled playback at chapter 5...and then the player resets...

i did nero cd-dvd speed check...disk scan...perfect burn until 10% then tons of errors...maybe if someone can tell me how to do it, i can show you a copy of the screen

losing hope of ever burning again...

what can i give you guys to maybe help?
