To find out if it is in the burning process or in the playing process you have your problem - do this test;

Download www.dvdinfopro.com (freeware) insert one of your burned disc and selelct the option "Test your media for CRC read errors" - if you only get green dots you know that your burning is ok and it is the player that causes the problem. If you get any read dots - you know something else.

Hopefully, you are NOT running any unnecessary programs (background or foreground) at the time you are burning your DVDs...

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

Try reducing your Output size in your preferences by 100 - 200 mb.

Nec is very tricky about used media. Go to the Nec homepage and see what media they support. If you want to use other brands of discs you have to use hacked firmware.
