Had my Sony DVD-RW for a couple of weeks now. When I first used it, there were no problems at all. Burned discs with Nero and DVDXCopy Xpress using Datawrite 4x Red Top and Bulkpaq Lilac Top (2x). Have recently got new batch of Datawrite 4x RedTops and nothing but problems. Picture begins to break up and then hangs altogether when played on my Pioneer DV-350 standalone. Disc plays OK in my DVD-RW drive using Power DVD 5. Have tried Nero and RecordNow Max burning software to no avail. I did burn an initial copy to a Datawrite 2x DVD-RW and this played OK. As soon as I tried for a permanent copy using DataWrite 4x red top, problems! The drive is not faulty! The suppliers sent me two drives by mistake so before I return one of them, I tried swapping the drives over. Still the same problem.

My first post a DVDR Help forum - Hope you can offer me some help as I'm beginning to tear my hair out and I haven't got too much to tear in the first place!

Thank you
