media problems?

[pproudman]

I have just backed up a dvd i own and started to watch it on my dvd player. worked ok until it started jumping. i took the disk out and looked closely at it. i noticed that the disk had holes where the tracks where written (like small blemishes). Has anyone else had problems with bulk paq discs? mi am using an imac with a superdrive, and toast titanium.

hi i am having the same problem???????
they are bulkpaq dvd-r's with a purple front bought from bigpockets.
it writes fine then when it gets to 60 -70 minutes into the film it starts going all blocky and then stops with a high pitched squeeky noise.
these are the first discs i have bought for my pioneer 104 and didnt know if it was the media or the drive.

i have ordered some verbatim disks so i will let you know if they work. it looks like dust scratches on the disks. i have used these disks before and had trouble doing other tasks.
