You should try to update ur firmware.It could be that cheap media. Try some ritek media...It's doesn't cost that much.
media, definitely media. always the same problems--funny playback/burning/whatever at 80-90% of the disc. poor quality control results in slight warps/wobbles in the outer edges where it is most noticeable (which is where the end of the burn is) which gives an error.
tnx 4 the feed back thought as much but going to get a buddy to try the dvd blanks and see if he comes up with the same result
I have to agree with yuedana, it is the Media you are using. To solve the problem, compress the DVD down to about 4.3GB and you will have no problems burning on cheap media. If you want to max out the DVD with you data, then you need to buy better quality media like Ritek G03 or G04. Good Luck
