DVD drive will not recognize DVD in player

[jjbodean1970]

Hi all,

I have captured, converted, authored, and burnt over 100 DVDs in the past, but now I have an interesting problem. My DVD burner will not recognize certain DVDs when put into the player. It is a pioneer 106. some DVDs are fine, others are not, kinda intermittent. any thoughts? I burn using nero 6.3. thanks for any ideas you might have, i am open to any and all suggestions,

without wishing to sound rude....

have you tried the obvious?

cleaned the disc
cleaned the laser lense
stored the discs properly
have you changed media
come to that wot media are you using

just a few penneth worth

yes to all obvious questions.

i use memorex +R, i know it's not everybody's favorite, but i make sure i'm getting the ritek version.

the really strange thing is that the discs that aren't recognized by my burner will all play fine on my standalone hooked up to my tv.

may, and i say MAY be the laser on its way out.

how long you had it.,....how often you used it etc?

about a year and a half old or so, and it gets LOTS of use
