I've had mixed results with DVD burning due to questionable media 
quality. The moment I switched to Taiyo Yuden-based Verbatims I have 
100% success rate! Make sure you buy good quality media (e.g. not all 
Verbatims are good either!) -- see "Blank Media & Quality FAQ"

You can also look at "Where to buy good media"

any media. I'm just a user who found those guides useful.
