Yup.
It just went... Right in the middle of a burn.
Just ordered a Samsung burner from Newegg... $30.

One of my DVD burners doesn't recognized burned DVDs (created with same drive) but it will burn a blank disc just fine and dandy.

That's what I thought. I have a couple other computers so I am not really agro about that drive, as long as it burns I'm cool with it.

Yeah, that site is very popular. But a few months ago when I was looking for some blank dvds I wasn't impressed with their prices. It was cheaper for me to get them at the store.

Ever try Supermediastore?
Yeah, not all their prices are great... Just like Costco.

No, I'll check it out. Thanks for the info. I used to get blank dvds for free, so I've never really bought that much.

I typically buy the Taiyo Yuden silver premium DVDs... About $26 for 100.
