| Your players may simply be picky about burned media. You can try burning these Memorex dvds at a slower speed...if they are 16x try 8x speed. Your best bet is to get better quality media. Memorex is hit or miss at the best of times. We generally recommend Verbatim as a safe choice in media. Even with Verbatim, choose a moderate burning speed...either 8x or 12x should be good on their 16x disks.

| On top of that good advice from Kerry56 I would try to booktype to DVD-ROM as I have both those brands of blank media among a lot others and have never had any playback problems as I always booktype to DVD-ROM on the DVD+R media. For the DVD-R media I would try lowering the burn speed to 12x or 8x and not maximum. here is a link explaining booktype/Bitsetting http://www.cdfreaks.com/reviews/Incr...VD-bitsetting/ |
