Go out and upgrade the firmware for your writer - for most people that fixes it. If that doesn't help, I would recommend that you try different burner to make sure you didn't get a bad batch of media. Unfortunately, even with all standards out there, there are still some drive/media combinations that simply don't work well. Peter.
