Memorex did go through a bqad patch, which I understand was due to the fact 
that they used more than one supplier, of which at least one had 
less-than-adequate quality control.  I don't think there is a problem now.

Not all older drive support burn-free, which could be one factor.

Another thing to consider.  I was told by Lite-On technical support people 
that DVD+R disks are more forgiving than DVD-R.  I have certainly had fewer 
problems on my stand-alone recorder since changing to +R.

Yes, I've burned many DVDs under FC6.  I use K3B, and have no problem at all.
