    Hi t-loader
    RiVision uses different manufacturers - some not very good at all. May be part of your problem.
    Check to see who the manufacturer is - pop a blank in the drive then in Nero go to ToolKit>CD-DVD Speed and click on the disc info tab.

    Also make sure your drives firmware is up to date. If not up to date an update may help your drive w/ these discs.

    Another problem may be to high of a burn speed - try taking it down a notch.

    Better media to use would be Verbatim or made in Japan Sony, Fuji or Maxell.

    Not a good sign there t-loader
    I'd still check and make sure the drives firmware is up to date & up date it if not - maybe you got lucky (?) on the manufacturer.

    edit: spelling

    Dang!
    Hmmm Ritek isn't always that bad so let's check 2 things -post back the make & model of the drive and what's the rated speed on the media?

    Well there goes my one theory - older burner maybe w/ 16x media.
    So that still leaves dumping the RiVision and switching to the media above.
    Me -I'd try and return them - hey they don't work - will just depend on where you purchased them policy on returns.
