Hi Disc-At-Once / Focus or Tracking Error - I have read quite a bit on those 2 and continue to get the same errors. I can burn CDs fine and even burn DVD images, but come to writing a DVD and u have one of the above errors. Lately, I have been getting the Focus or Tracking errors at about when it is 3% progress and then stays that way till about 10 mins and sometimes moves forward and gets stuck again at around 50%. I have a coupla logs, if someone cud decipher, that would be Great!!! Thanks!

Try cutting back the burn speed to 4x I assume these are Memorex or Imation, etc.. Try 'Verbatim' brand - one of the few consistently good makes.
