I can again write to all my DVD+/-RW media. I was able to write at 2x to my TDK DVD-RW (one at least) (see https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=216445&highlight= )

and my TDK DVD-Rs write 4x (at least one did) (see https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=213846&highlight= )

THE MIRACLE CURE ... The lens need cleaning. I bought a CD/DVD Laser Lens Cleaner (Memorex) from Best Buy for $10. It seems as thought it did the trick.
