More likely a bad media.

Have you changed media or have you used the same type.

What's the mid code.

These media are burned before today without any problems, they start to give problems only today.
Why????

[jbv]

Those low quality media varies a lot, even from the same batch.

16x3S dislike low quality dvd-r media, you will get better result from dvd+r.

And especially Princo "sucks" and Bulkpaq are not much better.

Buy better media, and your problem is solved.
