    I'm thinking that perhaps I had bought a really really bad batch of DVD's. As I burn, get an error, try again, get an error, try again, and it burns... I wasted 4 dvd's attempting a burn. I can only think that maybe I got a bad batch. Either that or Toast is REALLY tempramental!

    Any recommendations on Brand name DVD's that are perhaps more reliable than others?
    The ones I bought were on Sale at Staples called FujuFilm. 15 for $9.99.

    Locally, your best bets are:

    Sony, Made in Japan, sold at Wal-Mart
    TDK, made in Taiwan, sold at Target
    TDK, made in Taiwan, sold at Circuit City

    Online:
    TDK, sold at supermediastore.com
    Taiyo Uden, sold at meritline or supermediastore.com

    Current good media sold in stores in the USA:
    Sony brand DVD+R (made in Japan) = YUDEN media
    Sony brand DVD+R (made in Taiwan) = SONY media
    Sony brand DVD-R (made in Japan) = TY or SONY media
    Fuji brand DVD+R (made in Japan) = YUDEN media
    Fuji brand DVD-R (made in Japan) = TY media
    Verbatim brand DVD-R (made in Taiwan) = MCC media
    Verbatim brand DVD+R (made in Taiwan) = MCC media
    Maxell brand DVD-R (made in Japan) = MXL media
    Maxell brand DVD+R (made in Japan) = MAXELL media
    TDK brand DVD-R (made in Taiwain) = TDK media

    Pick one. Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot, Walmart, Fry's and OfficeMax are all fine places to pick up some of these discs. About $15-20 per 50 pack on sale. New sale each week it seems.
