Ugh! I notice that my dystexia caused me to give some bad info yesterday.  The disks I bought are actually  Maxell DVD-R disks. The disks I had and couldn't burn with much success were Verbatim DVD+R disks. I haven't had a single failure with the new Maxell DVD-R disks.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
