Well I downloaded and installed the firmware update. I then burned a kids movie that is 35 mins long and it won't play at all in my standalones. I also burned Under the Tuscan Sun and it won't play in either standalone either. So it seems to have made it worse instead of better! I have no idea what to do now.

Sorry to hear things have got worse
If you're using Win2000 or XP have you tried a system roll-back? I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope that'll cure it but it shouldn't hurt.

Have you tried removing labels?

I just burned one today and haven't put a label on it yet. I am going to try it out tonight sometime. I can't just scan through because that doesn't always show the skips since sometimes they start in the middle of a chapter.

What software and media do you use?

Well......?

I'm also concerned about your use of labels. They cause a number of problems:

1. They make the disc thicker, causing them to jam in some players.
2. They alter the reflectivity of the disc's surface, and some lasers can't read them properly.
3. They add extra weight to the disc, hindering some players from spinning up correctly.
