Black Dot on burned dvds

[stk]

hi there...

I seem to be making a lot of coasters when I burn a DVD lately...

dont know why...


my guess its maybe crappy media (i want to believe that)
i'm using (Imation, Ritek)
i have been using imation for years now with no problem.. (cds then dvds) but lately i've been having this errors...

but when i burn the same brand of disk in another burner i got no errors...


i'm kinda worried...


I have a Nec1300a (with the official firmware 1.0b)

i tried ripping my files to my maxtor harddrive, then defrag and burn.. no luck
i also try the same, but to my other HD, (seagate) with the same results..


i've notice a little black dots in the back of my burned dvd (the one with errors) it play fine, but it hang in the menus, or when playing the movie...







i also notice that this errors only happend with -r media..

anyone having the same problem??


thanks!

I got those same dot things when using Optodisc 4x gold top DVD-Rs. Once, it was due to a piece of lint on top. I suggest spraying your DVD-Rs and drive with canned air before burning to get rid of dirt. If that dosn't work, get better media.

How did you get those pictures? Scanning or Camera? I've been trying to take some similar pictures, but my scans of the disk resemble scanning a mirror, nothing but bright white.

when scanning, just scan with the cover up...

Cheap scanners will reflect more than more expensive ones.
