im using tmpgEnc in conjunction with tmpgDVD Author. I have a NEC 1300a burner and use bulkpaq orange discs. burning program is Nero.

i can't understand why but the dvd author that i use sometime rejects dvds with message saying 'read error'.

It does so about a minute that I dump the iso file onto the DVD...although seemingly haphazardly.. one minute yes - the next no..

I thought that it was a case of bad discs but im not so sure now

strangely - when it does work, the dvd plays fine on desktop dvd player but not the dvd drive on which it was burnt.. it judders at lot with all dvd player software that i have. The saving grace is that the burnt disc does play fine on another dvd drive that i have.

Wierdly - this troublesome NEC unit does play other discs burnt with another software allright though (ulead)

any thoughts out there??
