The information above shows that the recording drive is not picking up the M-code from the disc. This is often a sign that the disc is not supported in the drive's firmware. (I would wonder about the integrity of the files, but you say that you get error messages when closing the discs.) What recording drive and firmware are you using? Were the discs that worked 8X or the same discs that you are using now?
