@ The-not-so-brave,

Welcome to the Forum.

…Any ideas?..

Yea – Don’t use Memorex DL Media.

It has been passed numerous times throughout the Forum that the only DL Media that consistently produces quality error free results is Verbatim MKM001/MKM003 Mitsubishi Kagaku Media. ALL other DL Media is considered suspect and should be avoided (not used).
