I am new to the forum. Looks like a great place !

My LiteOn 5005 is exhibiting some very strange behavior. I'll record a DVD+R
disc and it plays fine. Then, after I "Finalize" the disc, it will not play. The menu of
Titles will come up, and I select the Title and hit Enter or Play, and nothing happens.
However, the DVD *WILL* play on a friend's el-cheapo DVD player !

The problem seems to have started happening when I got a batch of RICOHJPN media
from Supermediastore. These are rated "2nd class" by nomorecoasters.com, which isn't
bad; formerly I was using TDK- and HP-branded media from Staples, of unknown
media code.

This happens on about every 3rd disc. I am using the MacroVision/3hr-mode hacked
firmware (but I don't think the problem is correlated with when I installed it).
