They caused it and I had to wait for them to fix it. I buy TDK DVD-R 1-16x speed in bulk packs of 100 printable DVDs. I might have 1 or 2 fail in the 100. I use DVDDAO to burn them and it works great. I normally burn at 6 or 7x so that my DVD player will not have any problems. I also buy TDK CD-R80 printable bulk packs and have about the same failure rate. The 100 DVD pack costs $38 at the computer markets in Canberra. Can't remember the price of the CDs. I have used Audio/Data CD-creater by Chris Wohlgemuth for a number of years to burn CDs and DVDs without an issue. regards Ken John Angelico wrote: > On Sat, 12 Apr 2008 16:33:32 +1000, Mike O'Connor wrote: > >> Hi John, >> >> It's a funny thing BUT - here using RSJ for my burning, I not >> infrequently have coasters on CD-R, but virtually never with the >> slower-burning CD-RW/DVD-RW (using Verbatim/TDK media for DVD).
