im having problems with burning a project to dvd-r. Some of the copies end up working and some do not. can anyone tell me about dvd-r authoring media and would this help my problem at all?
Burner has big the biggest issue for me above DVD type. I use DVD Architect from Sony and it's a pretty picky program. Memorex 8x and 16x seems to be a very compatible burner.
1) Burn DVDs at a slower speed. (2x vs. 4x)
2) Don't mutli-task. Using other applications while burning DVDs can result in bad disks.
3) Buy DVD sample packs
I'm extremely satisfied with my shopping experience with both of these companies. I received email confirmations after placing my order and then once my order was shipped. Make sure to check out their sample packs, this is a very cost effective way to try out different media to make sure it's compatible with your burner /player.
