Taiyo Yuden 16x playback problem

[Xdreamer]

I was wondering if anyone else on here is having playback problems with Taiyo Yuden 16x shinny discs.
I am using at NEC 3520A with 3.04 FW
Alot of my friends are complaining about when they attempt to play discs (mostly on Sony DVD players, which also does this on mine) The menu buttons wont work, but if you take the disc to a APEX or another dvd player it plays/works fine.
Also another problem that we are seeing is the movie will play fine till say around 3mins then movie restarts over, timeing isnt the same for every movie, it differs.
When movies are being burnt, no apps are running, I have also tried with apps running, doesnt do it then, its just does it when it wants to crap out.
PC specs
WinXP Pro
1 gig of DDR2700
AMD 2700
Half of Terra of HD space

Also I was thinkin on going with some TDK's or Verbatim's and feed back with peeps using a NEC 3520 would help, TIA

Many of the older Sony DVD Players are crappy at playing anything "recordable"...even CD-R's. Sure they have wised up in recent years but I find that alot of big-name players can't stack up to the cheapos as far as all-round compatibility.

I, too, am having problems with nearly the same setup. I have an NEC 3520a with TY 16x -r's.

From a pack of 100 I had 5 bad burns. Mind you thats not very many, but for TY thats alot. My players are a Pioneer dv578a and Toshiba sd3900.

I'd like to know if maybe xdreamer and I have gotten discs from a bad batch, or if increased production from TY has caused an overall quality decrease.

Anyone else?

No issues at all with TYG03's, NEC3520 using L&D's firmware. Plays perfectly on LG LDA-530, Denon 2200, PS2, Harmon Kardon DVD-25, and a couple others.
