    =)

    Bingo! My money is on the media. As I recall Memorex was not that great of media. Try switching media to something like Verbaitum's. There's also a list of media and what it will work on at www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia have a look there and see.

    Also make sure your burn speed is set slow, 2x or 4x.

    Let us know what happens =)

    playstation is also pickey on what it reads/plays
    and deline is correct, use better media and remember, burn at 4x or less. also, make sure your firmware is up to date.
