I had numerous HP DVD-R's that were rejected from my duplicator and I was pulling out what was left of the hair on my head. I was blaming the duplicator manufacturer, the DVD-Rom company etc. until I isolated the issue starting with media. Media should always be the first issue to eliminate before checking out the hardware. I used a TY and Memorex and I was able to fix my problem. Also. Be careful of DVDRW. SEE my post on the forum in regards to RW discs which tend to be finicky at times.

When creating DVD projects I now first use the preview function inside Arabesk (we can now check out even the Chapter Menus) before burning to disk. Then I burn to DVD-R...for me the price of media is affordable enough that if I have to make a modification in my menus, etc. I can with something like a 38¢ to 30¢ cent expenditure.

Dennis said they use Taiyo-Yuden and Ritek. The first I have in DVD-R, and the second I've never heard of. Oh well.

So Chet, you no longer use DVD-RW's?

I too can confirm that RW or cheap media can cause major problems. I use only TY DVD-Rs (now called JVC professional) and get flawless results.

My old Solitaire got where it would fail every time I used a DVD-R, only worked with the RWs. With my S6000 I've gone back to DVD-R. Weird.

Keep in mind that writers/readers do in time wear out. Lasers can get dust on the lenses. Electronic components can drift out of spec in time. Try a CD/DVD cleaning disc. on your old machine.
