have contacted FujiFilm and they have acknowledged my finding.

purchased a bundled special (8 dvd+r and 2 dvd+rw) a month or so ago. burnt first +rw last nite...burnt fine. would not play on set-top (ie no disc). inspected burnt side of disc...MOTTED (is that the right word?). that is the disc had tons of small circled embedded in the disc. opened other +rw...same thing (thought i had introduced the circles during burn process).

to FujiFilm's credit they said they are aware of this (bad batch of +rws), and are sending me a prepaid pak to return the defects and will send replacements (from a diff batch i hope ).

1-800-488-3854 for returns.
